For Woman’s Work.
THE LONG AND SHORT DAYS.
The cold dayg, and dark days,
The warm' days and bright.
All have their mission
And are appointed right.
The w»rm days are long days
When skies are blue and bright,
The cold days are short days,
Hemmed in with firelight.
The long days bring green shade
And zephyrs cool and soft;
In dark days there’s ringing
Os Christmas bells aloft.
Then welcome the dark days
And welcome the bright,
Since all have their mission
And are appointed right.

CHAT.
After a month’s absence, we greet the
“Nutcrackers” from a new home.
Write and tell us how you like the new
home, and if you will be pleased to re
main with us.
We think the new surroundings are very
attractive, and our hostess most genial.
She has generously offered to send
Woman's Work (to such of the Nutcrack
ers as subscribed through Adelanto) in
place of “Pacific Household Journal,” for
the balance of numbers to which subscri
bers are entitled.
To all readers of Woman’s Work, we
extend a cordial invitation to join our band
of puzzlers. Send answers whenever you
can—even one solution a month will be
appreciated. Write for information con
cerning anything you do not understand,

(To Ideal.)
One Two is a godly man,
What, pray you, is Complete ?
Just solve this riddle, if you can,
And tell us how you see it.
Complete, indeed, it seems to me,
Opposed is, to One Two—
But then, mistaken, I may be,
So, tell us, what think you ?
One Two declares a faith—firm, strong—
Complete will not believe it—
Tell your opinion, which is wrong ?
Most kindly we’ll receive it.

Some people who plunder choose proverbs quite
true,
And aj>ply to themselves as their ill deeds they
•‘lf we but be bold,” these people oft say,
'•The wheel of fortune will turn our way.”
But wisdom is greater than boldness by far,
Our lives by misdeeds we never should mar,
We should seek for true wisdom, shonld choose
the right way,
Let the wheel of fortune then turn as it may;
That fortuna will favor the bold, may be real.
But this mode is better than fortune's wheel.

There are women who are cold, heart
less, selfish; who love the world more
than home; who do not realize that the
mission of a wife and of a mother is to
bring her loved ones to heaven. There are
those who say that love is foolishness; that
affection is weakness; that the rifting
frost and the blighting chill that forms
the stately iceberg, are better than the sun
and gentle warmth that cover the
earth with beauty. But God does not
think so! Angels do not think so! Those
to whom we give our lives should not
think so —they will not, if |they are right
of heart.
WOMAN’S WORK.
SOME ENIGMAS. CAN YOU
ANSWER THEM P
The first and second, of these enigmas, by
Archbishop Whately, have never received a
satisfactory answer, and I think it would be
safe to offer a reward for a good answer to
either. All the others have been solved.
S. H. B.
i
When horn the Ark’a capacious fold
The world went forth in pairs,
Who was the first to hear the sound
Os boots upon the stairs?
ii
Man cannot live without my first—
By day and night ’tis used—
My second is by all accursed,
By day and night abused.
My whole is seldom seen by day,
And never used at night,
'Tis prized by friends when far away,
And hated when in sight.
in
My name declares my date to be
The morning of the Christian year;
Though motherless, as all agree,
I am a mother, it is clear,
A father, too, beyond dispute,
And when my son comes he’s a fruit,
And not to puzzle you too much,
’Twasl gave Holland to the Dutch.
IV
Formed long ago, yet made to-day,
Employed while others sleep—
What none would wish to give away
And few would care to keep.
v
We shining ones, just four in number,
(More would our active band encumber)
Bach other in a circle chase,
As if we strove to run a race,
First on the leg we wheel around,
And then upon.theheel are found,
But when we end the sport, we go
Upon the “light fantastic toe”—
But ( must not forget to say
We mingle foot-ball in our play,
Also, within the path we go
Your thankful feet will walk I trow,
And now in fathoming the marvel,
Do not the mystery unravel,
Or else the game we’ve played and won
Will prove time lost, and work undone.
vi
Take one hundred and fifty, divide by
naught, add two thirds of ten, and so ends my
riddle.—(Ans. A learned man’s name.)
VII
I went to India and stopped there ,
I never went there at all,
I came away again because I would not go
there.
VIII
He who has me not wishes not to have me,
He who has me, wishes not to lose me,
He who gains me, parts with me forever.
IX
In my first my second sat, my third and
fourth I ate.
x
One hundred and one by fifty divided, and
then if a cipher be rightly applied,
The answer will be one taken from nine.
XI
My first is everything, so is my second, also
my whole.
