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

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

robbed me of my sleep, and made me blink like

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;

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. ‘

to be a fitting partner for one of those lithe,

the twinkle of his eye, that he meant nothing
more than njost, and [ should have felt, like
Gulliver, afraid of crushing the Whole Lillipu

sight, that. assembly of small folks under the

what I had heard of the Daione Sheah of the

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

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.—
