No. 59.—For Young Mathematicians.
We once knew a professor at college who declared that when a pupil had mastered addition he had mastered half of arithmetic. To prove his assertion he gave this: Put down one hundred, then one, then five, then one, and then one hundred. What is the result? "207," some one said. Was that right?
No. 60.—A Riddle.
| I'm part of a city, and part of a ghost; |
| I'm part of a little, and part of the most; |
| I'm part of astrology, part of the light. |
| Part of the battle as well as the fight. |
| With murder, however, I've nothing to do; |
| I shun all that's wicked, though not what's untrue. |
| In fathers and mothers I'm sure to be found; |
| In sisters and brothers I also abound. |
| I'm crossed in affection as well as in wealth; |
| I'm always with doctors, yet always in health. |
| I know naught of hunger, but suffer with thirst, |
| And I'm found with the best as well as the worst. |
