from their labours, always bend the knee and bow the
hoad. Some of these cruciGxcs arc real works Of art
while others are rude and homelr.
Speaking Of peasants, reminds me of tho unac-
countable costume of the pcasantry Of Altenburg
The women wear from the waist down to within two
inches Of the knee closely Knitted gurment, which
fits perfectly tight to the figure, nnd but that it is not
divided into legs would have exactly the appear
ancc of pair Of short hose. With this they wear u
tight juckct, the sleeves Of which arc enormously
lursc and full. Upon their heads contrivnnce oi
calico with horn iu front and wings behind. Upon
their legs white black or blue stockings tied below

Give me room for two threo curiusities Vf Ga-
varian village. A favortc resort in such village is
the Milk~Gardcn, IN ornamental enclosure, where
crowds Of people 60 late in the afternoon to drink
milk. Here they sit ubout upon benches and under
arbors, while numbers Of little girls, young girls and
od-youns girls 60 around and distribute tall glasses
Of the whitest pure.t und sweetest milk. Clabbrr
and sugar is also tu be had, aud it recommended

thereof and ate like cormorant but without sisclo

Der however do not form the whole bill uf fare of
Milk Garden. Little boys march up and down with
tuLs Of hard boiled eggs strapped around their shoud
ers, while others perform the same evolutions with
tabs of fresh rolls. The passion Of German people
for hard boiled eggs amounts to positive lolatry!
While in this samp village, took an enr morning
walk, quite into the country, and it being market day,
mot the merry rustcs hurrying to town with their
market stuff. And hear the manner Vi transporting
such stuff! cGrt containing three newly slain
calves, drawn by tandem team, composed of

By two gaunt grey hounls and these tagged with as

cart with huge barrel of beer, drawn by most di-
minutive ass lean cud lame. The charioteer in the
latter was IN ol lady, exceedingly farouchc in
aspect, who smote the mss until be fairly eaoped.
Upon my return, met most Of these peasants again.
The woman who had played lead horse, now occupied
