PUZZLES FROM YOUNG CONTRIBUTORS.
No. 1.
ENIGMA.
My first is in gain, but not in loss.
My second is in shell, but not in rock.
My third is in throw, but not in toss.
My fourth is in tap, but not in knock.
My fifth is in man, but not in boy.
My sixth is in right, but not in wrong.
My seventh is in drum, but not in toy.
My eighth is in many, but not in throng.
My whole is a flower well worth a song.
