Danish Amusement.

1t is called in Danish r%utschban, and
may as well be dubbed in English rush
railway. A.tower stands at either end
OF a railway, which is perhaps $50 feet
in length, 40 feet high at one extremity.
and half. as high at the other. !
climbed the rude staircase of the higher
tower, and foand myself in a room
crowded with people waiting their op-
portunity for a ride. At the entrance
stood a phaeton-like car on four small
iron wheels, the car being very stout
and holding two people with comfort.
The wheels were in grooves, and the
course extended v 81 the descending
and ascending slopes. The people
would get into a a and be strapped in
by a leathern boot; the car would be
started down the inclined plane by an
attendant, and away it would 20 down
the first slope, and by its impetus rise
to the next height, 60 e and down
and up again, at each rise pitching a
little lower. at each pitch rising to a
lesser height, until the last slope, when
1t rushed up the hill, bumped against a
buffer, and the two travellers got out.
The car would then be seized, dragged
aside, put upon a lift, hauled up to a
height above, and sent back, with other
passengers or empty, down d CORES
ponding road parallel to the first, and
terminating in a similar low tower BY
the side of the n I was in, where it
would be hoisted again into place, and
be ready to make the round Of the rush
railway again.

car started down, watching the couple
get into the vehicle and then go
laundering down the slope. I saw Sc
date men who might. have been bank
presidents get! in, and children, and
ardent youths and maidens; two by
two. They held each other in; they
almost lost their hats; they bowed, and
fell back upon the huge "~thank-you-
ma'ams'; they looked frightened, and
they looked bold; they smiled, and
they almost cried; but l heard no one
scream. At length; when l had po-
itely given way'to those" more eager. l
was driven by shame and an inextin-
guishable curiosity to try this reckless
coast l paid the ~fare-about two
and a half cents-and took my seat. l
JaAAAAcu A1y udG uOWN OVeC my DrOW,
grasped the back of the car with one
hand, and no doubt turned pale as the
push was given and we began that
awful descent. I felt that thrilling
sensation of vibration in the pit of my
stomach which one has in q swing
when descending, and then"we shot up
the slope, saw q new abyss, and
plunged into it. A delicious reprieve
was followed by another fearful de-
scent; four times we dashed in the
face of fate, and then, with one tri-
umphant rush, flew up the last incline.
I got out of the car with my wits
standing on end and tumbled down
the staircase in a bewildered; groggy
way, anxious to get my legs upon the
immovable earth again.
There was no installing the thor
ough enjoyment which everybody took
in this amusing place, and the decorum
and good feeling seemed to come by
nature.-Harperfs Magazine.
