32 NO. 29. —ILLUSTRATED REBUS. NO. 30. — ENIGMA. I am rough, smooth, hard, soft, *long, short, round, flat, oval, square, oblong: am alike used by the King upon his throne and his poorest sub ject. I possess the art of pleasing in a very emi nent degree; am at once the delight of the idle beau or vain school girl, and a useful instrument in the hands of the skilful artist. My station is ever varying—sometimes I am thrown carelessly into a corner, at another time put on to the man tle, now into the pocket and then under the grate. Though insignificant and mean-looking generally, every room is indebted to me for its chief orna ment. What is my name ? NO. 31. —ARITHMETICAL PUZZLE. If a man sells a watch for fifty dollars, buys it back for forty dollars, then sells it for forty-five dollars, how much does he make by the transac tion ? NO. 32.— CHARADE. Oh, while my first is rushing by, My second must beware, For she’s the treasure of my eye, The darling of my care ; And there’s no mortal joy I know Like that her notes impart. Tell me what name shall I bestow On one so near my heart? Oh, let her tread with me my whole, And enter not my first ■, Her eyes shall be the brimming bowl To quench my spirit’s thirst. I crave not wealth, nor fame, nor power, While she is by my side : All joy seems centered in that hour — My whole than earth more wide. NO. 33. —CONUNDRUMS. 1.

NO. 35. — ENIGMA. On a monarch’s brow I sit, When all things look brightly; O'er a baby’s cheek I flit, Kissing it so lightly. Oft of Affection am I born, My sponsors Joy and Mirth ; Sometimes, on angels’ faces xvorn, Am there too bright for earth. You can call me up at will, And dismiss at pleasure ; Laugh, and you destroy me —still I exist in measure. Weep, and I must vanish quite, It may be for years ; Yet am I oft a charming sight, Seen through a veil of tears. Before the rod of care I flee, But before Love stand true ; Oh, set, dear friends, much store on me — I bring much joy to you ! NO. 36. — WORD PUZZLE. Take the name of the greatest rebel that ever lived, and from it form —Ist, his 2d, his character; 3d, his offspring; 4th, his first victim ; sth, how he obtained this victim ; 6th, the sentence pronounced upon the victim and himself.

This Magazine, published at New York, by Ilurd & Houghton, one of them at least a Southern -man, is far superior in quality to Ticknor & Field’s "Young Polks,” and not full of the partisanship, Pharisaical spirit, and injustice toward the South, of which that publication is offensively redolent. — New Orleans Picayune .
