Straimgo to say , the Swedes , in many respects oute of the most rugged ammtl hardy p001mb of the miorthm , hmavo the sweetest , ( iii- detest and mmiost plaintive ummeio1cs. Amid theui , again , they have time ringitug war aoumgs In imitijestic strides , to wimich you almost cx- pact to hear the Imumnm of battle , time fail of heavy swords on immetallic shields.

The songs of the Norwegians posae a very disttnct cimaracter. Somewhat somber and aad , they must be taken as the deepest expressica of a strong anml rugged people , living In solitude the largest part of the year on the " ( jells" and around time "fjords. " Another peculiarity is the Norwegiami dancing tunes , especIally to the muntlonal dance , ( be "HaIling. " Some of thoan dgimcoa are bubbling over with fun autti tvithl time joy of life , Ibs'm .npealcs of , and still you will find in moot of theumi sonic dark. melaimchmOly strain , a hardly noticeable ummden. tone , which remlndo time hearers that the joy is not lasting , that they'd better cimjoy timemn- selves vhmiie they mnay , for thto unorrow will htrhmig siew battle for life and the old melon- choly itohitude on time hilltops.

But the Norwegiamia amid Iiios are not far belmintl , amid in sonic of the later Scandi- ravttmn sammgerfests time honors have been di- vtdeti pretty evenly.
