MORAL CHARACTER OF THE Firms, as de-
cribed by Bayard Taylor So far as regards
their moral character, the Firms have rs little
cause for reprOach as any other people. We
find them as universally honest and honorable
in their dealings as the Northern Swedes who
are not surpassed in the world, in this respect
Yet their countenances express more cunning
and reserve, and the virtue may be partly n
negative one resulting from that Incidence
which characterizes the Frigid and the Torid
zones. Thus, also, notwithstanding physical
signs which denote more ardent animal passion
than their neighbors, they are equally chaste,
and have as high n standard of sexual purity
Illegitimate births are quite rare, and are
looked upon rs lasting shame and disgrace to
both parties. The practice Of " bundling'
which, until recently, was very common among
Finnish lovers, very seldom led to such results
and their marriage speedily removed the dis
honor. Their manners, socially in this respect,
are curiously contradictory. Thus, while both
sexes freely mingle in the bath, in state of
nature, while the women unhesitatingly scrub,
rub and dry their husbands, brothers or male
friends, while the salutation for both sexes is
an embrace with the right arm, kiss is consd-
cred grossly immodest and improper. A Fin
nish woman expressed the greatest astOnish-
ment and horror at hearing from Mr.. Wolley
that 1t was very common thing in England for
husband and wife to kiss each other. 90 If my
husband were to attempt such a thing" said
she, " would beat him about the ears 40 that
he should feel it for q week" Yet in CONVEX
satiOn they are very plain and unreserved,
though by no means gross. They acknowledge
that such things as generation, CESSATION and
parturition exist, and il may be that this very
absence Of mystery tends to keep chaste 50 ex-
citable and imaginative n race"
