On one card appears 15th of March, which seems more baffling than all the others. It proves to be "Middlemarch."
A large letter A in vivid red of course represents "A Scarlet Letter."
"Helen's Babies" is a sketch of two chubby boys in night robes.
"Heavenly Twins" is represented by twin stars in the heavens.
"Darkest Africa" needs nothing but the face of a darkey boy with mouth stretched from ear to ear.
One of the sketches is a moonlight scene with ships going in opposite directions and is easily guessed to represent "Ships that Pass in the Night."
Anyone with originality can devise many other amusing and more difficult sketches. Prizes might be given to the one who guesses the largest number correctly.

"While other constellations sink and fade,
And Orient planets cool with dying fires,
Columbia's brilliant star can not be stayed,
And, heaven-drawn, towards higher arcs aspires;
A Star of Destiny whose searching rays
Light all the firmament's remotest ways."
