48 OUR CHIMNEY CORNER. NO. 45. — GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLE. I was awakened one morning by a city of China , which was perched on a fence under my window'. From an adjoining room, I heard a division of Great Britain; and I called one of the rivers of South America to make a fire, as the air was a division of South America. Going down stairs I found that a lake of North America had spill ed a division of Europe on a city of Belgium ; and had put on the table a division of Asia, sea soned with a city of South America; also a cape of Massachusetts; also an island of Oceanica and a city of France , stopped with a city of Ireland ; and a basket containing a river of Africa, and other fruits. I gave him a division of Africa to pay for my breakfast, and then went into the kitchen, to ask an island of Oceanica for some sugar to feed an island of Africa , which was hanging in my window.

NO. 49.— RIDDLE. Begotten, and born, and dying with noise, The terror of women, the pleasure of boys ; Like the fictions of poets concerning the wind, I am often unruly when strongly confined ; For gold or for silver I ne’er trouble my head, But all I delight in is pieces of lead, Except when I trade with a ship or a town, I then let pieces of iron go down. There is one thing yet I would have you remark, There ne’er was a lady more fond of a spark ; The moment I get one, my soul’s all on fire, I roll out my joys, and in transport expire. W. G. G.
