I decided to take supper while the horse Was eating his feed. They had not expected any more travellers at the station, and were not prepared. The keeper had gone on with the two lumber-merchants; but his wife—a friendly, rosy-faced woman— prepared me some excellent coffee, potatoes, and stewed reindeer-meat, upon which I made an excellent weal. The house was on the border of a large dark forest, and tho roar of the icy northern wind in the trees to increase while I waited in the warm room. I did not feel inclined to go forth into the wintry storm, but, having set my mind on reaching tho Til« lage that night, I was loth to turn back. ; began t» sink so deep ihttf the loose  I was glad to extricate myself and return.

As you go northward from Stockholm, the capital, the country becomes roder and wilder, and the dimate more severe. In the sheltered valleys along the Qulf of Bothnia and the rivers Which empty into it, there are farms and villages for a distance of sevon or eight hundred miles, after which fruit trees disappear, and nothing will grow in the short, coid Rummers except potatoes and a little barley.— Farther inland, there arc great forests and lakes, and ranges of mountains, whero bears, wolves, and herds of wild reindeer make their home. No poople could live in such a country unless tbey were very industrious and thrifty. " Who is Lars ?" I asked. My son,'' said she. lie is getting the horse ready. There is nobody else about the house to-night," deer-skin.'1 Large Briok Brewery, Situated in tho rear of tho Kaglo Hotol is now producng the beat of Ale, It was a slo# and difficult task to unliKl*— ness Axel, but We accomplished it at last. Lars then led him under the drooping branches of a fir-tree, tied him to one of them, gave hun an armful of hay, and fastened the reindeeri&u) upon hia back. Axel began to eat, as if perfectly satisfied with the arrangement The Norrland horses are so accustomed to ool(D that they seem comfortable in a temperature where one of ours would freeze. When this was done, Lars spread the fcmaining hay evenly over the bottom of tho sled and covered it with tbo skins, which lift, tucked in very flrtuly on the side towards the wind. Then, lifting them on the other side,- he said i " Now take oft your fir coat, (juiek, lay it over the bay, and theif creep under it" I obeyed as rapidly as possible. For an' Instant I suddercd in the icy air; but the nest moment I lay stretched in the bottom of the sled, sheltered from the storm. I holdup the onds of the reindeer-skins whilo Iars took his coat and crept in '.beside me. Than we drew the skins down and pressed the bay against them. When the wind seemed to-be entirely excluded, Lars said we must pull off our boots, untie our scarfs, and sd loosen our clothes that they would not feel tight upon any part of the body. When t|Uis was (lone, and we lay close together, warming each ofch er, I found that the chili gradually passed, out of my blood. My hands and feet wero no longer numb) a delightful feeling of comfort crept over roe j and I lay as snugly as in tin best bed. I was surprised to find that,, al. though my head was covered, I did not fee stifled. Enough air came in under the -skint to prevent us from feeling oppressed.

In five minutes, I think, wo wen asleep, and I dreamed of gathering peaches en a Warm August day, at home. In feet, I dri not wake up tborougly during tbo night neither did Lars though it seemed to me Ch& we both talked in our sleep. But as I mug have talked English and he Swedish, thcri could have been no connection between ou remarks. I remember that his warm, sof hair pressed against my chin, and that his fee reached no further than my knees. Just aaD was beginning to feci a liule oramped an. stiff from lying so still I was suddenly arouset by the cold wind on my face. Lars had riser up on his elbow, and was peeping out ft-oic under tbe skins. " I think it must bo neat six o'clock,' ho said. The sky is clear, and I Can see tin big star.

AMD CAN, TUB, SPICED, AND SHELL I made my journey in the winter, because I was on my way to Lapland, where it is easier to travel when the swamps and rivers arc frozen, and the reindeer-sleds can fly along over the SmrXjth snow. It wus vei'y cotd indeed, the greater part of the time; and the days were short and darlt, and if I had not found 'he people, so kind, so cheerful, and so honest, I felt inclined to turn back, mora than once. But I do not think thero are better people In the world than those who live in Norrland, which is a Swedish province commencing about a hundred miles north of Stockholm. They are a tall,strong race,with yellow hair and bright blue eyes, snd the handsomest teeth I ever saw. They live plainly, but very comfortably, in snug wooden houses, with double windows and doors to keep out the cold and sinco they cannot do much out-door, they and weave and mend their farming implements in the large family room, thus enjoying the winter in spite of its severity. They are very happy and contented, arid few of them would be willing to leave that country and make their homes in a warmer climate. OYSTERS! DR. C. M.

I was again on the point of remainingj but while I was deliberating with myself, the boy had put on his overcoat of sheep skin, tied the lappets of his fur cap undcf his chin, and a thick wollen scarf around his nose and mouth, so that only the round bluo eyes were visible f and then his mother took down the mittens of hare's fur from tho stovo, whero they had been hung up to dry". He put them on, took a short leather whip and was ready. I wrapped myself in my furs, and wo went out together. The driving snow cut nie in tbe face like needles, but Lars did not mind it in th« least. He jumped into tho sled, which he had filled with fresh, soft hay, tucked in the reindeer-skins at the sides, and we cuddled together on tho narrow scat, making everything close and warm before wo set out. I could not see at all, when tho door of the house was shut, and the horse started ou the journey. The night was dark, the gnow blew incessantly, and the dark fir-trees roared all around us. Lars, however, knew tho way, and somehow or other we kept the beaten track. He talked to the horso so constantly and so cheerfully, that after a white my own spirits began to riso, and the way seemed neither so long nor so disagreeable. l\y special arrangements with tho Express Companies end Hailroftds, those who order may rely on a constant supply and prompt delivery.

At each station m number of horses, and sometimes vehicles, are kept, but generally the traveler has his own sled, and simply hires the horses from one station to another. These horses are either furnished by the keeper of the station or some of the neighboring farmers, and when they are wanted a man or boy goes along with the traveler to bring them back. It would be quite an independent and convenient way of traveling, if the horses were always ready; but sometimes you must wait an hour or two before they can be furnished.
