Mother Bunch.


No. 2.

FOUR ENIGMAS.

1.

First in cradle, not in bed.
Second in barn, not in shed.
Third in one, not in ten.
Fourth in quail, not in wren.
Fifth in under, not in over.
Sixth in rover and in clover.
Seventh in top, not in cover.
My whole is considered a charming game,
And the answer to this will be its name.

Eda L. B.

2.

In dog, not in cat.
In mouse, not in rat.
In man, not in boy.
In marble, not in toy.
In ale, not in wine.
In rose-bush, not in vine.
In Kate, not in Jane.
My whole is a brave little land,
Which gave birth to an author charming and bland.

Sam Weller, Jun.
