The Lanlander az Home.

We saw the llpp camp before NJ on dry
md pleasant grassy space, about iwo-and.a
half Eorlish mlle- from the sea. Some piles
oi sticks ani mounds, which seemed like no
hrman habil'rion. first attracted attention.
The piles NJ sucks firm (l' We found) sort
ofskelcton shell, which can be enclosed in
hqd weather by a kind OF rude tairauIIn.
They contain barrels, clothes, and many nom
dcscript utensils and stores, which, in fine
weather. are exposed suspended from the bare
poles. Two low, round mounds ofIuri, over
laid with sticks and branches in most dis
orderly fashion, composed the habitarious ola
multitude of men, women, and especially chill
drcu Who seemed at first sight to be countless.
Their appearance squalid, aud di-
minutlye IN the exireme-was, thought, de-
cdedly unpreposssssing. But an attentive
survey l,rourht out some more favorable fea-
rurrs. The countenancc was altogether un-
like any had seen. hot by no means devoid
q? intelligence, and even a certain sweetness
of expression. Notwithstanding that our
pariy was iolerahly numerous, they exhibited
no signs either oi disinst or shyness. and
whilst some ufihcm entered into conversation
with one Of the gentlemen from Tromso, who
knew little Uf their dialect, aud Dlher went,
attended by several small active dogs, to fetch
some reindeer for our inspection from the
heights. the greater part remained quietly en-.
gagged in their huts. AZ We had found them
quiet regardless Of our presence. On inqulr'
inc inin their occupation We were surprised
to find them possessed ol some CNccllenuy
printed and well.cared-for books particularly
Bible in the Finish tongue, and Comment
ary, each irming a quarlo volume. We
found some Of them also engaged IN writing.
This was a matter Of surprise, where NC had
been led to expect something approaching
barbarism and We had soon a proofihai ihelI
preisnsion TO religious impressions vas mol,
merely theoretical; Tor they positively refused
to taste the spirits which were freely offered
to them, and Of which our party parIook I;
