OUT OF SORTS.

By John Todd

SOME people are always out of sorts. The weather is just what they don't want. I met one of these men awhile ago, a farmer, who raised all manner of crops. It was a wet day, and I said:—

"Mr. Nayling, this rain will be fine for your grass crop."

"Yes, perhaps, but it is bad for the corn, and will keep it back. I don't believe we shall have a crop."

A few days after this, when the sun was shining hot, I said:—

"Fine day for your corn, sir."

"Yes, but it is awful for the rye. Rye wants cold weather."

Again, on a cold morning, I met my neighbor and said:—

"This must be a capital day for your rye, Mr. Nayling."

"Yes, but it is the very worst weather for corn and grass. They want heat to bring them forward."—Dr. Todd.
