DOOB, 53., a cq @be ‘iantrint & ‘(Hninm FRIDAY MORNING. NOV. 9, 1860 .4 WINTER UNDER GR 0 UND The short but. glorinus summer of Lapland inks drawing to a. close, and I remembered with ”gran that the hour of my deparmre from Ku b litz was at hand. Still I lingered, for 1 had spent several of the happiest Weeks of my life in that fairy spot of eat-. 11, so far r‘emote h-nm the truck of the bustling British lourish I had grown attached to my simple-hearted hosls; and their coast-ant kindness, their gay good humor, and the fl'«shness and novelty of the holiday-life, had indescribable charms for me. Kuhlilz is a place little known. It lies in ‘ Swadish Lapland, about a. hundrod and filly miles beyond the extreme limits of Norway; 1 and its silvery river and emerald pastures are surrounded by the far- stretching moor-lands, of which by for the greater part of the country consists. Far away to the :30th might be seen, on a clear day, rising dimly above the vastpurple moors, a line of blue peaks that. faintly dotted the distant. horizon. These are the Kohl Mountains, the mighty Scnmlinnviim Alps which divide Norway lrom Swodon,an(l whose northernmost summits have often seemed to me, as I thus gazed on them from the Lap land wastes, the very outposts of European civilization. To the north, a line of low hills broke the distant sky-b uu-rhe last range, I was told, between lair Kublit'l. and the grim iceburgs of the lonely Arctic Sch. There, among those hills. Ihe Northern bear roamed unmo lestcd in his shaggy Slrenglh, the unhunted wolf howled along Ihe deep ravmes, the marten clung to the pine branch, and the elk ranged the brakes, free from any fear of intrusive man. Nothing would have tempted my kindly Lap— land hosts to explore lhat mountain-range, guarded by a thousand superstitious legends. and named in their figurative tongue, the Wilches’ Hills. But let. me try to describe Klllllliz itself, as I saw it. first, basking in the short. livml smiles of the arelic summer, when nature seems to com pensate by a. wondrous luvishness ol love and dare for the ephemeral character of theenjoy meat. All that rocky glen where the village nesxled, all those verdant. prairies that encir cled it, those shrubby woods that halted the meadows, and were bounded in their turn by the trackless moors, had blossomed like n gar den in fairyluud. Fruit. and flowers! every where fruit and flowers l The gray rocks that. rose above the houses blushed literally crim. son withihc wild strawberries—those won drous strawberries that. spring up everywhere in Lapland, whose profusion is such that they .stain the hoofs of the reindeer and the sledge of the traveler, yd, are so delicate and match lcss in flavor, that, the Czar himself sends for them, by estqfelécs, all thelong, long way to his Minimer palace of Tsar-zlmy-Chele. But straw berries are not the only gifts that. bounteous .-ummor flings with full hands upon Lapland. The crags, Ihe meadows, the thickets, glow and blossom with a thousand many—hurt} flowers; the mores and pools are white with lillies; the woods are 11111 of strange fruils 'nnd joyous songs of birds ; the grass springs luxuri uul_ly; the ferns, mosses, lichens, have all their varied 3339,33!" dyepcr or brighter grew; the moors are. unrfie’iéu wk}. mu; gmd purple h-r-athsz, and even the dangerous qugmil-es are ruddy with the tempting fruit 01 the cranberry. One never knows what a summer really is, newr knows with what exubemnt- mirth the world can rejoice at bursting from the chains of winter, until one has seen Lapland. And 1110 people? Well all I can any is, I liked bin-m am} they me. I never met. a. young face or an old one among these simple falks that had not. a pleasant smile for the stranger; I never went. into a Lapland hub without findng a kindly welcome, for my kindly little hosts would but;- tle to fill the biggest bowl with milk, and the largest basket; with berries, and to produce great piles of “smslko” and dried fish from the ' sea-coast, and, luxury unparallod, perhaps even e a greatblack loaf, brought all the way from Norway (fur Lapland has no bread) to do honor lto the forrign guest. How could I help grow ing ,fond of these queer, emu-looking, soft ‘ hearted people! I have heard ugly stories of lhcm among the Swedes and Norwegians; they were called Savages, idolaters, enchanters, even cannillals; but Ican only say that they not [only did not vat. me, but men abstained from lfleecing me, as nationS" much more polished [and accomplished are in the habit. of doing to \wnyfarers. ' v The village of Kublihz was built of green boughs and wattle-s, the posts alone which sup ported cauh cottage being of pine timber. In fact, the huts Were not cottages, they were leafy booths, such as the roving Tartar some times constructs ; and tlieaewsummer palaces of living verdure added to the holiday air of the place, and were suggestive of a perpetual pic nic. But the true houses were under the out 11, not above its surface. The green tents I have been describing were mere temporary pavil lious; and beneath them, with only alow,ohim nay, like a. magnified mole-hill, peeping above ground. were the true homes of tleLaplanders. ihe eaverned storehouses for all their. wordly wealth and their own dwellings for more than nine months of the year. And new the time was coming when the green booths were to be deserted, andlthe sun to vanish, and the strange underground life, like a mole’s, was to begin again lor the long iron—bound arctic winter. Peter Wow, the chief mun of the village, in whose Wigwam I dwell, warned me that the daylight would ’ speedily cease, and that he had better prepare the boat to omivey me down the river south wards, so that I might reach Norway “before it got dark.” A strenge idea seized me——wh:it if I were to stop behind! I have been hvre through the daylight, the long three momlhs’ dny- that puzzled me so terribly at first, and robbed me of my sleep, and made me blink like an owl at the unwenrying sun that would shine at, midnight, and which upset all the habits of ‘ my Previous life. I recollect whet estrange l sensnlion that had been, how new, fresh, and ‘ piquantl and it is not often, let me tell you, ‘ that a somewhat world worn and world-won.- ried mun, whohas passed his grand climacteric, can discover a sensation that shall be at once neW,fl'esh. and piquunt. I had promised to spend Christmas wuh my sister in Gloucester shire, to be sure: but “pshaw!” Ihought l, “I camgo next, summer. Marie Jane hasn’t seen me thesi: eighteen years and more, so she can probably Wait till Easter; and my nephews and nieces Wunt fret too much, Idnre any, about the “Ou'apl’enrnnee of an uncle they never set their juwnilu vyes upon. My mind is made up. I’ll stay all night.” A Pl‘elly long night. ioo.render—a night that begins in early October and ends in June. HflViUglried perpetual daylight, I was going to 08811,)! how I liked its antipudcs. Peter Wot! tried l 0 dissuade me; I did not know what it wns like. he said. But I did him that we; my exact reason for going through the expen‘ ence. Peter shrugged hisuhouloers; Mndaine WOW. or. more correctly speaking. Husmfe Wow—for anlnnd is not a, land of tilleS. and theftl is but one class, uhut of the yeiimnnl'y, l with their dependents, and servants—lined up U E 0. yth ell re rg, inrepared y NO, OLlN give] same at nd Ri r B.llB] at} 416119 D r- her astonished eyes and hands ; all the (laugh ters littered, and all the sons stared at thisl remarkable decision on my part. But. as I not only paid Peter for my board and lodging at the ‘ unprecedentedly liberal rate of four silver rix :‘ dollars a week, but. could speak and sing on occasion, in Swedish and Norse, knew a little of the anponic tongue, and played the fiddle and flute, besides being the owner of a musical box, 1' was quite a popular character among my worthy entertainers; and my determination to rough it through the long winter with them was taken as a compliment. by the entire com munity. Accordingly we moved into our win t-er quarters. A Lapland winter but has generally two drawbacks of a nature almost unbearable to Europeans—it is too crowded, and it is shock ingly smoky. But Peter Wow, chief of the village, wuss. rich man in his way, and had a roomy and oommodious set of caverns for his dwelling, with furs and cider—down quilts in plenty. as became the owner of five hundred reindeer. Tho misty slept in a quaint tier of little box-beds, about the usual length of mig nonettc roughs, which were sunk into the clay 'walls like a row of sleeping berths on board a packet ship. But I, as a distinguished for eigner, had a den to myself, such 'as a. hermit of especially austere and selllmortifying ten dencies might. have constructed, for it. was without. a window of any kind, and air was admitted by means of the hollow trunk of an alder tree, which had been thrust through the 'roof of the cave and made a. sort. of a. wooden shaft overhead. The floor was carpeted, how evor, with soft, dried moss, softer and more luxurious than the most costly three-plied velvet. that. ever loom wove; the‘ bed was a pile of dressed deer-skins, as mph: and pliant as silk; 3 copper lamp hung by a. chain from the roof; I had pillows and bolsters stnfi'od with the plu mage of the elder duck and the wild swan, two hour skin coverlets, and at least a dozen quilts of yielding eider~down; and, crowning magnificence! there was an old fashioned chest of oaken drawers, with brass handles and key plates, to Which Peter Wow pointed proudly as to a. prcol’ of intercourse with the civilized world of modern Europe. It was evidently some relic of a wreck oil' the North Cape, and had been draggpd many a weary mile by the, patient deer that, drew the sledges. I fancied the scent. of theses. hung about it still. scarcely were we snugly established in our underground quarters when one fine evening I was summoned to join a sg‘lcmn proacssion which annually, according to immemorial cus— tom, ascended a neighboring hill tosee the lust of the sun for llmt year, and bid (he orb ofday “good by I" It was a strangviy picturesque sight. and not without its touching pathos, that assemblage of villagers of every age, from tho wrinkle-d grandsire, who tattered on his staff, and with 2:. palsy shaken hand shaded his aged eyes as he watched that fast-declining sun which was Setting, not for alright, but. for a drear winter, and which he might. scarcely hope to mark again, down to the child whose won~ daring eyes noted the scene for the first time since its reason began to dawn. All Were theren—the maidens and young men, the reve rend elders, the feeble cranes, who shirered already in the strange, ominous chill that per vaded the air, the hardy hunters, the no less hardy shepherds, or rather deerherds; old and young were gazing with ucommou purpose and a. common intensity of feeling upon the sinking luminary. All kinds: of _wjld iniuginings, all manner of poetic memories rushed in upon my mind as the sun approached the horizon, and prep med for the final plunge. The wild and mystic verses of Terrier. perhaps suggvstcd by that very spectacle of the death of the northern sun, recurred to me with boiling: cl arness. I began to wonder whether I had no? been very rush and absurd in wishing to Slope winter in Lup lund like a mole in its burrow. I began to sigh aft er Gloucestershire, where the ' son would shine out, many it day, on the crisp snow and frost-silverrd houghs, when I shonld‘be left. in Cimmerian darkness. Plunge ! the red sun had flushed down below the horizon. A heavy twilight settled, as it' by magic. over the fair landscape, still gilded by the smiles of summer. Alas! the good fairy, so beneficient, so bright in her rainbow rohe, studded with flowers, was gone, and king frost. was to reign over her devastated realms. Hark ! the long walling cadences of the sweet and chant—en old, old heathen chant of the days when Freya. was worshiped, Freya, at once Venus and summer of this for remote race, in which the Lapland ers bewail the parting day. Now for the long, long night! Already, as we turned to quit. the hill. after straining our eyes until the last faint. glow had died away, too, already an icy breeze hnd sprung up from the dim northwest, and Ishivered and wrapped my cloak round me at the sudden sensation of cold. “It is the snow wind,” said an old Laplandcr, as we paced down to the village; “no more floWers for the losses to braid in their hair this year.” I must confess that I felt uncommonly like a. frightened child left. alone in the dark; and regretted my whim for staying among the Laps. Nay, but. for very shame, I believe I should have proposed to hire Peter Wow’a boat, before the ice should seal up mere and river, and start. like a bird of passage in pursuit of the sun. The country seemed to me to change in the unwanted twi light; the familiar rocks of the glen, the far away moorlands. the pine thickets, assumed a weird aspect; even the faces of my entertain ers looked strange and grotesque, and their pigmy figures impish in the deep shadow.— Then, too, the singular feeling that all this was not a dream; that it was real, waking life; that. I had actually seen the sun go down into an obscurity that. was to last for the better part of a. year: and that I was going to try and while away a winter nightthut. would have giveutime to Schrruzude herself to exhaust. a quarter of her budget of stories—all this be wildered me. ‘ But that nght. there were high revels heid among the dwellers in caves. l’eter Wow, “3 chief ofthe Village, entertained all the beauty and wealth (all the ugliness and pow“)? “3 well) of Kublitz in his hospitable lmils under ground.

Peter Wow did 0301' to procure me a partner, but I saw, by the twinkle of his eye, that he meant nothing more than njost, and [ should have felt, like Gulliver, afraid of crushing the Whole Lillipu tiun company. Indeed, it was a. marvelous sight, that. assembly of small folks under the level of the earth, and it- put me in mind of what I had heard of the Daione Sheah of the Scottish legeii«:ls, and their revelry within some haunted hill. I could hardly help t'ancying I was really a. captive or a. guest. of a troop of carousing gnomes, or that, like the Rhymer, I had been home away to fairy-land, and hndbut a. faint prospect. of tie-visiting the real daylight world again. Peter Wow, the tallest man in the commu nity, had attained the gigantic stature of five feet. four, and, with his high rc'i cap set jauntily on his gray locks, his enormous white heard and moustxiches flewing down like a. frozen river, and his umform costume ofreddish-brown cloth, looked uncommonly like the King of the ; Drows or Gnomes, as Norse superstitions de -1 scribe him. The still more dwarfish assem -3 binge presented every variety, from the gro ‘ tesquo and witch like ugliness of the old wo men to the intantine and diminutive beauty of some of the young girls. The children were i almost all pretty ano rosy of complexion; but age, it seems, comes on Willi terribly swift strides among these Ilwcllcrs of the frozen World, as well as with the sun-scorched Asi~ ntic ; and I looked in vain for the pleasant ma.- - tronly faces that. never fail to meet the eye in l ntempemteclimnle.

It has been essoyed more than once to misc I troops among the Lopland'ers, but in vain, for . the little warriors cannot endure the ridicule of 3 their big comrades of Swedish or Norse s'ock, l and endless quarrels are sure to lteep n garri— son in hot water if a Lap in enlisted. There is the Swedish Lapland corps of sharpshooters, l who serve on snow Show, and form a. militia. t on the border; and there the sensitive little ' heroes are less exposed to be derided beouuse their heads can barely touch the sixty inch standard. The Laps profess to despise all Swedes, Norwegians, and Southerners gener ally, no a heavy and stupid race, whose large , limbs and lofty forms are given them as acum— ponsstion for their scanty stock of brains. And, indeed, the. Norseman always say, “He who deals ’with :1. Lap gets the worst of the bargain;" for the small folks have wonderful acuteneas, with all their simple bearing. But I believe that in their secret helrts the tiny tribe value size and height above all things. I know Petr-r Wow was prodigiously vain because his head was within an ace of being level with my shoulder: and I think many a. young fellow would have hartered his youth for my six feet. of perpendicular elevation, which never gained . its owner any remarkable popularity elsewhere- The next. morning I had a surprise indeed—— l A about from the upper earth aroused me, and scrambling to the outer air, I behold the rocks, I the black pino copse, the inimitable moorlands, i one dazzling all-pervading sheet of blinding snow. All gone! the fair flowers, the song» birds, the uncultured fruits that. offered their I profusion everywhere. blooming heather, and green grass, all gone! buried, until next sum ! mer brought. back the daylight, beneath a. l spotless, unvarying shroud ot‘ virgin snow.— To my great; relief, it was not. as dark as I had I expected. A sort of hazy shimmering light prevailed, like moonboamo through a mist. The northern wind blew keen ; and even as Igazcd the blinding, snowflakes came whiliug down i again, and seemed to bury the dead summer deeper at every instant. “They are plucking the wild goose’s feathers finely up there, north,” said Peter Wow, unconscious that his proverb was a. British as well as u Lapland one. We all laid by our summer clothes, put on our manifold wraps of fur and woollen, and betook us to winter avocations. And now come a. } strange season, when it weshard to say whether it was day or night, or both, or neither. The lamps were never suffered to go out; the fiddlcs and drums, the hone-flute and the musk-01’s horn, were never silent for three consecutive hours; and there seemed no regular times for meals, or sleep, or work, or recreation. 0n the contrary, music, and such, simple labors as could be performed under ground, and dancing and cooking, to say nothing of eating, drinking and gossiping, went on in a promiscuous fash ion through tlic twoulyfour hours of what would, down South, have been alegol day. If any one felt sleepy he or she went to sleep; the hungry site, the thirsty drank; the perpetual fires constantly cooked the most outlandish messes; the fiddlcs and drums went on as if self noting; the reindeer Were fed, tended and milked; birchen bowls were carved, horn trin kets chiseled, and stories related to gaping lis— teners, all at once, and all forever. I left off looking at. my watch at. all, except mechani cally. I went. about its a. sleep walker might: I dreamed standing. ' I pained a. great part of that wonderful winter not unpleasantly. but in.» a. sort of amiable nightmare. Of course I saw no newspapers; the world might wag as it. pleased. It was in the daylight—l in the dark. Of course I raeeired no letters; the post courier,~ was shut out, along with the sun, and [was the tenant ot‘a strange, lump lit. moon-shiny world. We Were not always underground. In the fine weather Ihe reindeer were driven out to ' browse on the lichens and mosses, from which they scratched away the snow with their fore feet. There were hunting parties, too, when l we chased and slow the white wolves, the white‘ hares, the martons, the deer, the birds, all and 1 every one in their winter livery of white.— There was the amine chase, and the chase of the white fox, and a grand battle with an old. giant of a. bear, who presumed on the supersti tious resptct the Laps have for “Old Grand— father Wizard,” as they call him, and robbed the storehuusvs until his thefts become unbear able. The wolf hunts Were rather dangerous: but the hour was :1 terrible fellow; he wounded four ol" our best. hunters, cowod the dogs with. his ursine hugs, and nearly bent the whole community. when a lucky, shot laid him low. And Ihcn tin to were the glorious drives! Oh. the wild excitement of sweeping over the fro zen snow in .1 deer drawn sledge. swift as a. hawk on Ihe wing. every bell jnu‘gling, and the wild driver singing as he cheers on his antlered team, that fly like the wind over the dazzling white niourlands! The worst of it. is, it takes away your breath uncommonly; and when I waxed confident, and would drive personally, I was run away with of course, upset with an awful put-l into a. drilt five fathom deep. and dug out ignominiously, amid much laughter 0f the little folks, who greatly crowed over clumsy Gulliver. Still the drives Were t'amnua tun.— I was frost-bitten twice, and revived by: usno w- . rubbing; hut. worse, I was struck-null. snow blindness, for I had to pass a fortnight In my cabin in absolute darkness, and was not the-
