LAPLAND-SCENES AMONG THE
PEASANTRY.

|
From the London soeiety.l
The sight of the camp was barren
enough, a few stunted birch trees be-
ing the sole Representatives of vegeta-
BILE life, unless one includes the few
patches of blabar and the scraps OF
moss, which had been trodden as near
! ly as possible to the condition of the
meagre soil which afforded them their
| existence.
This scene of desolation and unmit-
| igated dampness was the actual home
of the Laplander, and now were we
to make acquaintance with family of
these quaint and interesting people,
They are. true Mongolians, we are
told, and much of the poetical is often
connected with their names. The
Arabs of the North, the dwellers in
tents, the proud and ingenious people
who are vaingloriohs of their isolated
life, and contented with their peace
fulness, who have. never known war
with their neighbors nor feuds among
themselves, aud those who so rejoice
in the natural beauties of the eoun-
try they inhabit that seems to them
the fairest world can boast.
Surely this is a people with whom
it is well to make acquaintance!
The VdgVSsGre lifts the flap which
serves as an entrance to the tent, and
announces our arrival to the family
within. It is an ordinary bGtG, per-
haps eight feet in diameter, with fire
in the center, above which is hole in
the roof, to serve as means of exit.
for the smoke. We conjecture that
such tent might accommodate two or
three, persons, and we wait to see how
many shall emerge.
One comes forth, a man dressed in
a garment of skin, brown and rusty,
which has long projecting peak
Spangles of brass and other barbar-
Gus ornaments adorn his person and
knife hangs at his side. His face is
tanned to the color of his dress of
skins his expression is one of low
cunning and arrant knavery, and his
bleareG eyes, that are watering from
the smoky atmosphere in which he
has been sitting, lend to his hang-dog
face an appearance of dissipation that
is melancholy to see. Is there any
thing of poetry about this creature
Poetry there is nothing but dirt.
But he is followed by another stni-7
NAL of the same type--an old woman,
who grins and smirks and chatters-
an undesirable, filthy old hag. Then
follows younger woman, another
man third woman, two more men
and there are still an. old man and old
woman in the tent. We have been
deceived by the chroniclers of Lap
pish traditions, if these are fair speci-
mems of the people. They are low
and filthy herd, who are not inodor-
GUS. Dirt is the only thing remarka-
BILE about them, and that one sees in
perfection. Their clothes are plas-
tered with dirt, their faces are smear
ed with dirt, their hands are caked
with dirt; they are the princes of
dirt, the very personification of dirt.

so; then jump into the wagon aud

2. A teamster iIr Maine says he can
start the most balky horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him
go round till he is dizzy. If the first
dance of this kind don't cure him, the
second will.
3. To cure a balky horse, simply
place your hand over the horses nose
and shut of his wind till he wants to
go, and then let him go.
4. The brain of horse seemsto con-
tain but one idea at a time; therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve If yon can by any
means give him new subject to think
of, you will generally have no trouble
in starting him. A simple remedy is
to take q couple of turns of stout
twine around the fore leg, just below
the knee, tight enough for the horse
to feel, and tie in bOw-knot. AT the
first check heswill generally go danc-
ing of, and after going short dis
tance, you can 60 out and remove the
string, to prevent injury to the tendon
in your further drive. eVe
5. Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie 1t by q
cord to the saddle girth.
