This is the solution of the Pasha Puzzle given on page 424 of Young People No. 30. The puzzle was to make Hobart Pasha by combining a fort, two sabres, two British gun-boats, two bayonets, a bomb-shell, and three birds; and here you have an accurate (?) likeness of the fire-eating Turk.
CHARADE
My first is solemn and sedate,
Or ought to be, that's certain;
But sometimes, owing to the state
Of human passions, or to fate,
It is a scene of fierce debate
And wrath; but ere it is too late
I'll stop, and draw the curtain.
My second visits many lands,
In bright and stormy weather;
'Tis fair to see across the sands,
Though never quite at rest it stands;
One mind alone its course commands;
Within are many hearts and hands
Most strangely met together.
My whole is thought a happy time,
Its praise is often sounded;
'Tis told in books, 'tis sung in rhyme,
In every age and every clime;
Of youth and manhood 'tis the prime,
Except when on the sordid grime
Of avarice 'tis founded.
THE DOG PUZZLE.
Here is a picture of two dogs ready for a fight. With one straight cut of the scissors transform it into the illustration of an old fable.
