Two Capes and a Lake of North America, wish
ing to hunt a river of lowa, agree to sound a
Cape of South America as a signal for stalling
out. The hour for this signal shall be « County
of Georgia, next morning. The signal being giv
en, they call a little river of Uruguay named an
Island of the Pacific to join them, and bring with
him a river of Georgia in Asia, as this might be
needed before their return. ‘ The town of Scot
land is now a Cape of Ireland ; the Mountain of
Africa, although on the county of Tennessee, en
ables them to make their way through a Lake of
North America, the growth of which is an Island
in the Carribean Sea ; clearing this, they enter a
swamp, whose growth is an Island of the Mediter
ranean. Here, too, is many a river of Russia.
In this swamp they start a river oj North Ameri
ca; they soon overhaul him, and have the satis
faction of seeing him a Sea of Syria at their feet.
This camp of the United States ended, they arc
surprised, on looking up, to find it no longer a
Mountain of North America. How they hear the
roaring bay of North America. The indications
are that the day, will be <XLake of North America.
The clouds now become a sea of Asia. Every
isle in the Irish Sea, exclaiming u Cape of North
Carolina seeks shelter in a neighboring river
of Europe. This gained, they draw up around a
bay of the African coast, on which they find a
County of Alabama served in a division of Eu
rope, a city of Arabia, and a city of Italy ; three
Lakes and a River of North America, also a Cape
of South America, and other edibles of the kind ;
a town of the Indian Ocean, whose appearance
was a mountain of Africa. In fact, there was
found everything that is a city of Italy. It has
now become one of the Shetland isles. The host
bidding them a Cape of Greenland, they set out
for home, which they reach in safety through the
kindness of an Island in the Indian Ocean.
Now that in the solving no blunder be made,
Go straight to a mountain of shoe-binding for aid.

My birth is mean, my bulk is small,
Yet by my power high buildings fall ;
I speak aloud, yet want a tongue ;
Not Samson’s arm was half so strong ;
Like him. no gates my progress stay,
And I, like him, can thousauds slay ;
I seldom wound till I am dead,
And ere I win the field I’m fled.
No feet have I, yet swift I run,
And never speak till I’m undone.
