THREE ENIGMAS.

1.

My first is in apple, but not in plum.
My second is in flute, but not in drum.
My third is in river, but not in stream.
My fourth is in whoop, but not in scream.
My fifth is in help, but not in aid.
My sixth is in wither, but not in fade.
My seventh is in wealth, but not in gold.
My eighth is in ancient, but not in old.
My ninth is in summer, but not in fall.
My tenth is in party, but not in ball.
My whole's an inventor of worthy fame,
And American annals hold his name.
