Swiss Traits.
CTo BE Continued

The laborer and peasant of Switzer-
land have in many respects rather
hard time of it. Since the influx of
foreign tourists has assumed such large
proportions during the past twenty
years. the cost of living has greatly in
creased, while the wages of the ,laborers
remain stationary, and the few acres Of
ground of the peasants refuse to yield a
larger. harvest Rents in cities and
towns. the cost of wine, meats, flour and
bread. which, during the past twenty
five years, have all risen at least
fifty per- cent, present no attractive
side for men who have to work for fifty
or sixty cents day. They generally
live in crowded, and poorly ventilated
houses perhaps warm enough, but al
most bare of furniture and comfort. If
they can have meat once or twice q
week they consider themselves. happy.
They are badly off, for the reason that
they have to work hard, live poorly, and
are seldom able to save anything. But
notwi standing all this, they are happy
in their way, they love their country,
with its institutions, read, are intelli-
gent, and know that intelligence and
industry. and not bayonets, preserve the
peace in Switzerland. AS to the peas
ants, or small farmers, they seldom live
on farms, but in clusters of houses, viii
lagos and towns. The reason Thereof
is that their land is seldom in one piece,
but is cut up in small pieces of from
one-quarter of an acre to whole acre,
and scattered for miles in different di-
rections. The peasants are early risers,
industrious, simple and economical in
their habits. AS in Germany and France,
so in Switzerland, the women work in
the fields beside the men. In fact, the
women are generally quicker and more
industrious than the men, and the
economical principle in the former is
more developed than in the latter, for
these like to frequent the beer and wine
saloons, and spend some of their daily
earnings, or of the proceeds of their
fields. They generally possess a
Yankees desire for money, but lack his
silrewdness as to the ways OF. making
and saving it. Their cares are few and.
like their incomes, rather light. Thew
NOW their hay, herd their few cows and
goats, prune .their'vines, and leave the
outcome of their work = to time and
Providence. Theirstaxes are compare
lively light, and yet the majority of
these little farmers are never out of
debt. Politically they are conservative
democrats, loving home-rule and dislik-

it March. There was a drcary rain fall

for a week. and the sodden ground, and

longing looks down the straight yellow
track, whose full ruts and standing
pools only gave a hint of the muddy
depths below. -.-.
All around were hills. Hills rising
up behind a stretch of woodland back
of them; hills rising again beyond a
strip of narrow valley in front: hills
rounding up AT the right and the left,
and dotting the hillsides, occasional
farm buildings, with stony, stump-d dis
figured fields, and long lines of ''staked
and ridered' fences-not an enlivening
picture at any time, doubly dreary in
the late gray dawn of this dismal May
morning.
