PARLIAMENTARY BUILDINGS.
As compared with the magnificent structures which serve in the Australian colonies as the meeting place of the legislators, the building wherein our New Zealand statesmen yearly gather in more or less solemnity of national counsel is but a poor and insignificant affair, but there are not wanting shrewd critics of Victorian and New South Wales politics, who declare that the money expended on the palatial edifices in Melbourne and Sydney might have been put to much more useful purpose. It is not always in the most luxuriously fitted chambers that the best and most honest and most patriotic work is done, and although our own parliamentary buildings may not be a triumph of architecture they have witnessed many stirring scenes, and in them, too, there has been shown much strenuous and honest endeavour to further the well-being, both material and moral, of our colonists.
