The Disadvantages or,he Con n,ry.

As sat and unused, I wondered
whether California was not a mis-
take, and with its mild and spirit
less climate-its two seasons, mon
otonous OF sunshine and monot.
onous of rain. Would it not be
more agreeable, more pleasant and
mere healthful to hear the raving
winters storm--the pelting April
rain-the mad March wind; to
feel the biting cold and burning
heat, to see the bare leafiess forest
trees, the golden autumn foliage;
to have sleet, snow, and hail,
sleighing in winter time; to be
driven into the house and out of
the streets mt times; to be COM
PEELED to leave the mad, seething
maelstrom of eternal money-mak-
ing for the repose of good week
Of storm-to get rid of these eter-
nal blue, smiling, hsartless skies
these ever-pleasant days of gardens
that blossom in January, and flow
ers that spread their fragrance in
unceasing bloom.
We do not wonder that New
England people love their rugged
soil and their exacting and some
times severe climate. What i'll
they have no tule lands, with an
un1athomabIe depth of soil; they
can ralse pumpkins and sweet corn,
md that u more than we can do.
