the immense plains we traversed unless you imagine
yourself at sea, far far from the sight of land. The
Arabian deserts cannot be more awful to the eve than
the appearance of this scene. Such is the general
aspect of the country during the rgors of winter with
now and then an exception of large forest skirting
the horizon for a considerable length of way At
intervals as you shoot along you see openings among
its lofty trees from which emerge picturesque groups
of natives and their horse sledges whereon are
placed the different articles OF commerce, going to
various parts of this empire. They travel in vast
numbers, and from all quarters, seldom fewer than
one hundred and fifty in string, having driver 10

distance is very curious; and in a morning, as
they advance towards you, the scene is as beautiful
as striking The sun, then rising, throws his rays
across the snow, Transforming the sight into the
surface of diamonds. From the cold Of the night

particles; and the beams falling on them, too, seem
