European Gambling IlOuses.

Anybody who has travelled in the
south Of France; and passing along the
Coricc road. has stepped ont of the
way to visit the little principality OF
Monaco, must have been struck with the
beauty of sccney, and ,,after a visit to
Monte Carlo, will be pretty sure to nd.
init that it is not surprising that the
love OF play and the attractions of the
place have succeeded in delaying
many traveller on his road. Mature
and art seem to have combined to get
him into the net of the millionaire who
lately ruled at the magnificent establish
mcnt which fronts the sea. about three
quarters of mile from the town of
Monaco. Monte Carlo is almost the only
place now remaining where public Gam
bling is permitted. There magnificent
hotel is kept for the purpose OF
euticing any persons who muy be willing
to give up their days and nights to the
attractions of trcntc ct quarantr and
rouge ct noir; and frequent trains bring
Others from MCntOne and Nice who
may like to while away an afternoon in
seeing whether fortune is inclined to ia
vor them with her smiles. Though at
the present time gambling is forbidden
in Belgium and Germany, it is not many
years since the cry of the coupler might
have been heard in the Redout at Spa.
or the kursaal at Hamburg, and gam
ing house was necessary adjunct at
every continental watering place. Dur
ING the reign OF. Napoleon III frequent
attempts were made to induce the en-
peror to grant permission for the open

Is, but without success. Ii is reported
that on one occasion. on being asked TO
grant this favor, the cmpcror's answer
was, oh, certainly, but there must he nG
limit'--thus, while apparently giving
permission. rendering ii quite impossible
for the applicant to carry out his wishes
with any possibility of success. In order
to explain the above answer Of the en-
Perur, ii may, perhaps, be well to state
that in NIL gambling places there is a linn
it to the highest sum that may be Stakod
at one time, as otherwise the bank would
run the risk Of being continually broken;
and no establishment, however wealthy.

AFTER DARK.
BY GEORGE BlRDSEYE.

Cheer thee, cheer thee, weary heart
Though the lips Of JOY are dumb,
Though in deeps Of night thou art.
After dark the dawn Will come.
After dark the sun will shiuc
Brighter for It's long eclipse;
Bid thy soul no more replne,
Bliss shall meet thy longing lips.
Heaven bids thee ne'er despond;
Though a cloud thy vision Nils,
Walt and hope, for, Just beyond,
Lo, IT'S morn behind the hills
soon the sun viii rise again,
Bloom the flowers and sing the lark /:
JOY VIII follow after pain
