A rainy day, in iis place, that is when it in needed 10 make the crops ?irow, is alright, but out of its place it is not at ail a good tiling. For instance, licforo the battle of Waterloo Liter** bad boon Bficeral oT thesn riiin v days, and wiiou the. grout ; general's troops L began to push 1<jt- 1 ward they found themselves stuck f;?8t in t lie muil with the' artillery, and it w?s whilo in tbls condition iliat tbey had to suffer defeat; and if ilt had not been for those rainy d-tys, i he ti?ie of the battle might have be?'n changed and the map of ICnropo miglit have been different* Historiuns say that tins was a good result, but I, sympathizing with .Na poleon, declare that it was a bad re sult. Again, it is bad for this reason: it delays work for several weeks and months in tropical countries where (hey have what is called a "rainy" and n "dry" reason. In the Phillip* pine?. this is so, and the rainy sea won t};ere certainly was no advantage' 10 ojir bnldjejM in the Phiiiippines One of the soldiers fro If) thiu yiein ty writes that on a march tl)ey h#d' to march through water knee deep for a quarter of a mile. Longfellow eayp, In ono of his poems : "The dav ia cold and dnrk and dreary ; It. rains and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, yjnd the dav iJ dark and dreary. lie still, sad ln.au ?ind ce^ae KP*npy , Behind tlio clouds is the sun slid shining, Tliv fate i?Jhe common /ate of hII, Into each life some rain mm t full, Soino days must be dark and dreary." rfnglidi Vaughan.
