TWO CHARADES.—(By a boy aged 8).

1. I am flexible, thinner than glass, round when standing still, and oval when shaken. I burst at a touch, or when I strike anything solid. In a dead calm I slowly sink, in a little wind I float, in a strong breeze I rise.

2. My outside is hard. My inside is soft, and good to eat. My middle is neither hard nor soft, and is not good to eat.

ENIGMA.

Now, little bright eyes, who am I?

My heart is hard, my cheek is round;

I swing beneath the earth and sky,

The merry sunbeams kiss me oft,

Till I grow big and sweet and soft,

And then, for your delight, am found.

Mamie.
