peasant taking the 
slightest concern of 
their evolutions. 
Over the wooden gal¬ 
lery, which runs 
around the first and 
only story, clambers 
the green vine; under 
the great roof, made 
of the bark of trees, 
which the wind would 
carry away if the 
heavy stones scat¬ 
tered over the roof

resistance of their 
weight, are fastened 
snow sledges in

a door which no

the goat, the Tyroler, his wife 
children make a single family 
united by the ten- 
derest ties. When 
the children are 
not running over 
the rotten straw ot 
the stable, the goat 
comes to browse 
upon cabbage-leaves 
in the low living- 
room; and on cold 
winter evenings, the 
cow takes her place 
before the hearth, 
where a pine log 
burns. When the 
chalet has a second 
story, one arrives 
there by a sort 
ol ladder leading 
to a gallery, which 
encircles the little 
house, and from 
which one enters the 
extremely neat and 
cleanly bed room 
where all the family 
sleep pell-mell, and where the cow and 
the goat are forbidden only because they 
cannot mount the ladder.”
