The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, NOV. 19, 1889 Discovering a Climate.

Mk 11. Manns, an old bush settler, who recently left the Waiiaiapa for ii trip to England, Ims written ut lettei to ut friend on this side which is pub' lished iu the columns of the Puliiatini Star. In it he says " it Seems such a treat to be in a country that has » climate, after bring so long in a country that has not got one." This is a little severe on New Zealand, bul there is a considerable degree of trull: in the statement, Mr Manns is not n person with a vivid imagination, and others besides himself who havi sojourned in England after becoming colonised out hero have recorded very similar impressions, Ii is, perhaps worth going round the world to dis cover a real climate. So thinks thi new arrival here when he first samples our blue sky and enhales our invigor ating atmosphere, and so thinks thf same individual, when, with twenty years of experience of tho fickle cli mate of ihis Colony, ho returns tc England and discovers tiie genuine, reliable, steady-going, trustworthy climale in the land of his birth, Hen the unexpected is always happening, whether it be a frost in December 01 .1 drought in Juno; there the seasons are true to the description which rural poets assigned to them a hundred years ago. Here a man puts in his garden seeds with doubt ami diffidence His early putatocs are a chance crop, and his late ones are an uucciiainty; there if he puts in his seed at the right liino ihe result can be foretold with absolute acciirary, We believe that New Zealand once had a climate, but the bund of impious man has marred it, and the American axe and tho lirestiek have banished ii, Perhaps same day tho Colony will again have a reliable climale of soiiiu kind, but for the present it is useless lo expect that mathematical regularity m temperature anil rainfall which is experienced at home, Even in Ivnahind our friends appear lo have seme grounds of complaint, for though they are not constantly petitioning for rain as we are, they do occasionally pray for fine weather, It may be said for the New Zealand climate that, with all its vicissitudes), it is the best iu the world for tho working man, I'lmt is he can do a greater number of days work in a year out of doors iu this country than iu any country on ihe globe, ami ha can do it with less exhaustion In hiinscji', Our friend, Mr Manns, low. 'ins ,W)y y«( experienced it touch of summer weather, and a bit of early uutiiliiu since bis arrival at Hume, JJy Ihe time he has weathered a rude wintir and a bleak spring on his native soil he may po.-sibly h B tfjiibihg himself back again at Pabialna, &';: have far more biijjil bin J sky mid sunshine here than isobfiii.ablo at liuinc, and; even Mr }lw> : if he remains for any considerable tjnuj in England is likely lo miss these particular lnxuri.es, and lo wish himself back in llie country which " hasnodlimale.' 1 Mossre Lowes and lurnsa<|cl to (heir stock sale for Wednesday next 20 head of cattle.
