CHARADE—(To Douglas).
My first around the world doth glide
Within my second's roomy side;
My whole a useful thing is reckoned,
Though seldom first, and often second.

ENIGMA.
| My first in fair veranda is, but not in narrow porch. |
| My second's in a burning lamp, not in a flaming torch. |
| My third you find in garments new, and not in fabrics old. |
| My fourth in any daring crew, and also with the bold. |
| My fifth is in the tame and soft, not in the rough and wild. |
| My sixth is in the mother good, not in the naughty child. |
| My seventh's in the bonny boat, not in the glancing oar. |
| My eighth is in the little grain, and is not found in more. |
| My ninth is in the tender flute, not in the noisy horn. |
| My tenth is in the currant red, not in the ripened corn. |
| My whole, a name of ringing sound, |
| Is heard wherever wheels go round— |
| A railway man, whose fame, 'tis clear. |
| Has filled our Western hemisphere. |
