NEW PUZZLES.

No. 1. Classical Charade.
(By sound.)
"One more last glorious day for him,"
Says the king of the blessed gods. And he looked with love on the warrior grim,
While the world shakes as he nods.
And well the hero fought that day
Around the god-built wall— Fought as a tigress fights at bay,
Roused by her young whelps' call.
His brazen mail on his broad breast rang,
As before the host he came; When there, through the foeman's first all sprang
Like a lurid tongue of flame.
But no mortal hands could have saved the town,
Or averted the fatal hour: And from glory's fair ambrosial crown
Death last that brightest flower.
Iowa City, Iowa.Irish Foreman.

Sweetheart, good-by! How quickly to two loving hearts The ones seem to fly; Though all unseen, time fast departs, And, sweetheart, I Must kiss thee once before I go, And say good-by!
Sweetheart, good-by! Oh, love, thy cheeks with tears are wet, You sadly sigh That I—I may thee soon forget; Love, I reply By kissing such foolish doubts away, And then good-by!

No. 7. Charade.
(By sound.)
"I've cut my one! I've cut my one!"
Cried Mrs. Murphy's eldest son:
He nursed the one and hopped about—
His mother from the house ran out;
"Oh, two the blissid saint presarve!"
The frightened widow cried;
"My darlin' b'y how did ye carve
Your last so deep and wide?"
"Oh, mother dear! I came out here
To hoe the totals without fear;
But fortune frowns against your son—
His hoeing for this day is done."

Jefferson, O.Majolica.
No. 9. Enigma.
I'm first in the alehouse and third at the dram,
In midst of the breakfast, dividing the ham;
I'm first in the army, second in battle,
Unknown to the child, I'm found in his rattle;
I'm found in all waters, but never in wells;
I'm mixed up with witchcraft, but never in spells;
On lassies and ladies I wait all their lives,
But quit them the moment they call themselves wives;
Though strange contradictions in tales may be carried,
Where virtue prevails, I am found with the married;
With the grave and the gay I number my days,
I mix in their prayers and join in their praise;
I'm never in liquor—but once in the year,
Then with statesmen and gamblers and rakes I appear;
I'm not in this world, I'm not in the next,
But in the old saying, "between and betwixt;"
I mount with the atmosphere, taking the lead;
I visit the grave and am found with the dead;
I'm ancient as Noah, was first in the ark;
Unseen in the light, yet, I shine in the dark;
I shall last with the earth, with nature and man,
I was sketched with the draft and was found in the plan;
When nature and earth from existence are driven,
The angels will guard me eternal in heaven.

Stone, Ala.R. E. Porter.
No. 11. Charade.
Nothing purer than the first was ever seen,
Or more lovely, colder, brighter, e'er I ween;
If you make a second of me, surely then
With practice you might hit a dozen men;
Lo! total, with its leaves of darkest green,
In some gardens, in summer, may be seen.
Washington, D. C.Waldemar.
