in that country. £ 80
257B. To supply the peasantry with sacred pictures, that are generally painted upon wooden boards, and crosses, old men travel about the country bareheaded, and barter or exchange them; for, according to their ideas of their sanctity, no price can be put upon them, and therefore they are never sold. Nor are they ever burnt or destroyed: when too old for use, the sacred picture is given in charge to a running stream, which carries it away from the view of its former possessor ; and whosoever finds it, returns it again to the waters, until it is seen no more.Village Amusements of the Russians.

257C. On the First of May the ladies of rank lay aside their winter furs ; and appear in the newest foshions, imported from the capital of France for the summer months : for Paris is»the regulator of dress, in the higher circles, on the banks of the Neva and Moskva, as well as on those of the Danube and Thames. The wives of the Russian merchants are likewise seen in their calashes, and on their droshkas, at all such public festivals. But their dresses still remain quite national, and peculiarly interest the stranger; and though, like the leaves upon the trees, they are of the same shape and colour one Mayday with another, yet the richness of their hues, and costliness of the silk stuffs and brocades, of which they are made, render them even more sumptuous than those worn by the nobles.

257D. They eat more fish, when they can procure it, than flesh; and are very fond of mushrooms (which they dry and preserve in great quantities for use during the winter fasts), cucumbers, cabbages, &c.; but they do not discover any great partiality for vegetables in general. Until the beginning of the eighteenth century they were strangers to almost every kind of esculent, except cabbages, onions, garlic, cucumbers, radishes, gourds, and melons.Village Amusements of the Russians.

257E.Izbiten is a substitute for tea; and consists of potherbs, ginger, pepper, and honey, boiled up together, and drunk like tea, which it much resembles in colour. It is a very ancient Russian beverage, and was formerly used by all classes: now its use is restricted to the common people ; and it is sold in the streets of Moscow and Petersburg by the izbitenchiki, who carry it about boiling hot, and deal it out in tumblers, as the people require it. This is a refreshing warm drink, which is very appropriate to the condition of the poor peasantry coming to market in severe frosts and stormy weather. Village Amusements of the Russians.

257F. The peasantry are of a sound constitution, stout and firmly built, but generally of a middle stature; and still strangers to many enervating diseases which accompany civilization, wealth, and luxury, and which cause so great a proportion of the inhabitants of such cities as London and Paris to drag out a miserable existence. They are fond of manly exercises; and in summer, the evenings are often spent in the open air, in singing in chorus, dancing to the bagpipes or ballalaiki, and amusing themselves with their national games. Yet the custom of early marriage, and, above all, of choosing the finest- looking young men in the villages, in point of stature and features, for the ranks of the military, from generation to generation, has already had a deteriorating effect upon them. Almost all the finest-looking men are thus taken from the village circles, and the dwarfish and diminutive in stature are left to marry and propagate their kind*. If this practice continue, they must, according to the operation of natural causes, become a still more diminutive race; fot the great mass of the Russian military are doomed to a life of celibacy; so that when the soldier falls in the field, root and branch are cut off. And as the difficulty is becoming every day greater to find a sufficient number of young men in all respects agreeing with the military standard, the senate has ordered, in a decree sanctioned by the emperor in February 1831, that such young men as may happen to be blind of one eye, or destitute of their fore teeth, shall be admitted into the ranks. Many of the youths in the villages maim themselves, in order to escape theVillage Amusements of the Russians. Hand coloured engraving. Seeley & Sons, London, 1833.
