Winter and Summer.

An Englishman who, after grumb-
ling about his native country for more
than halt a lifetime, at last made up
his mind to emigrate to New Zealand,
was asked why he chose that far
away part of the world for place Of
residence.
"Why," said he, sit is because ma
ture has made much better arrange
ment Of the seasons there than it has
here"
what do you mean?'
:'What do I mean? Why, it's a
great mistake Of nature, as any one
must see, to have the cold weather
come in the winter and hot weather in
the summer. How delicious it must
be to have it hot in December, now,
which is the cold, freezing season, and
what q blessing to get bracing cold in
July when everybody needs it! Now
that's the way they have it in New
Zealand, and that's whatI call a sensi-
BILE arrangement Of the seasons!'
