NO. 232. — RIDDLE.
Os flesh and blood and bones am I,
As other creatures be ;
But neither flesh, nor blood, nor bone
At all remains in me.
I was taken from my mother’s side,
'Where I was bravely bred ;
And when to perfect age I came,
They did cut off my head.
They gave to me a virtuous drink,
Which ran all through my head,
Which could make war between two kings,
Or make two lovers glad.
J. D. McG.

In every clime and age.

NO. 237.— CHARADE.
A well-made little thing am 1 —
My master knows my temper's good,
And yet, that temper oft to try,
He makes me deal in scenes of blood :
But do not blame him —rather, see,
Thankful, the good that flows from me.
Cut off my tail, and 10, the change !
I'm longer, stronger than before
Tenfold ; the warrior’s pride, I range
With him the field of battle o'er;
No more, alas, for good, but ill —
With scenes of blood familiar still.
no. 238.— ENIGMA.
A letter place in durance vile,
There to remain a little while,
And you will very quickly see,
What all enigmas want to be.

My second is complete,
And so remains until once more
My first and second meet.

And those who yield will surely find
Two others ready to enforce
The punishment that comes of course.
NO. 241. — CHARADE.
M y first's three parts of what thou'd wish
Thy dearest next to be,
But how shall I describe my whole
To any, or to thee?

Will own he sees the air?
They say it rings, but ’tis no bell
I safely may declare.
