He stayed downtown at night
To hear how matters turned;
He had five dollars bet,
And he was much concerned.
He mingled with the crowd.
He whooped with all his might;
They smashed his new hat in.
And jabbed him left and right.
They soiled and tore his clothes
And trod upon his feet;
He missed the latest car,
And had to tramp the street
Some villain stole his watch,
And as the dawn appeared
He staggered up the steps
And waved his arms and cheere,i
And to his wife he cried:
1--WE won my bet-hooray!
Five dollars better OF.

The Release of the Rose.
From Leslie's Popular Monthly

From LesIie's Popular Monthly.
The rose. once Queen of fair denesne-
breathing Of love and trust
Is dropping now from her darkened bough
Ia the prison bonds Of dust.
Her fragile red, whence the dew has hed,
Is nled with a nemeless pain;
In yearing leaves how her spirit grieves
For the swift release of rain!
A sudden stir of the clouds for her,
With the thunders martial boom
The lightning's fash, and the rain s soft plash,
Unlocking the gstes of bloom!
The rose is bright with w-born light,
Aud the joy of danger past
She lifts her head from the garden bed
Like q Queen renowned at last.

ponutarity of One mt the Expense OF
the other in Political
Campaigns.

Some inquiry was made dunn 1ne
recent campaign in New York and else
where as to what had become OF the
campaign songs. Neither the repuDhc-
ans NOR the democrats went to the trou-
HE of employing a professional poet
s,ys the SIM. 1t was evident that cam
naicn poetry was on the wune, ana un-
less there is a revival next year in the
presidential campaign political song
writing will become almost iost arr
One reason which may, in part, at least'
account for this is the fact that during
former political campaigns the most
nopular songs which were altered or
parodied to suit party requirements
we're usually of sentimental or pathet-
IL character, whereas the songs now
most popular and most generally Ia
miliar are negro songs OF a Jocose
character. which give little opportunity
for effective political changes.
Campaign songs in presidential cleo
lions have come to be regarded as al
most as essential as campaign speeches,
and ordinarily the national committees
of the rival parties have special depart
ments for the employment, compensa-
ton and disposal of glee clubs and
singing quartettes. This is especially
true of the republicans. who have Ill all
recent national elections utilized, es-
pecially in the west, this feature OF
modern campaigning. The importance
of such songs, however, has been
eclipsed by the greater popularity, as
symbol of political allegiance, of cam
paign badges and buttons, the use OF
which has become so general, and the
expense of which has been so much re-
duced that the.song writers occupation
is nearly gone.

Sea Level.

The highest electric railway that
has ever been built now runs up 2,l0G
feet above Dayos, which is itself $3.50
feet above the level of the sea. The
new line is one OF the first in swift
erand to be worked by electricity.
The winter season was marked by the
opening of the funicular railway up
the Schatzalp. The first car to start
upward was greeted by thousands,
who turned out to see il.
At the top of the Schatzalp, where
the railway ends, a great sanitarium
of wondrous size is in course OF cree
ton and will be opened to the pub
lie next year There can be no doubt
that other institutions will speedily
spring up on the Schatzalp. The
prospect from the other station is ex-
tremely grand At the foot OF the
mountain lies the valley of Davos, with
its long trail of houses, while all
around rise gigantic snow-tipped
mountains, covered with forests of fir.
At night the ascent is we'll worth
