NO. 300. — CHARADE.
Sometimes I am a fragrant flower,
And love to bloom near beauty’s bower;
A quality I next possess
To tell the color of your dress ;
And then, without a change or turning,
I tell you what you did this morning;
And when you do of beauty speak
\ ou love to see me on your cheek;
But if transposed, I am assured
That every one would wish me cured.
BURKE’S WEEKLY.
NO. 301.— RIDDLE.
Boys, I am no postman, but bear letters of in
troduction to all parts of the world. Permit me
to lay before you a catalogue of my wrongs. Bear
ing a title, and attended by a train of pages, form
ed not only to be the companion, but even to share
the kisses of royalty, it has yet been my lot to ex
perience the roughest usage from those whom I
have most befriended. For the benefit of man I
have traversed all quarters of the globe —I have
been in Italy, for free and unrestrained I have
soared o’er brow. In Morocco, for there,
alas ! more than once have I been bound. I have
been seized by the press-gang, and at their hands
have endured the severest trials: see, they have
left their print upon my face, which is even now
black and blue from the treatment I have met with
from (I blush not while I say it) these devils. —
When man is oppressed with pain and sickness, he
flies to me for a remedy; when weighed down with
cares and misfortunes, in me he seeks consolation;
yet he ofttimes commits me to the flames, though
Phoenix-like, I rise from my own ashes. Oh ! lit
tle girls, how often have I set forth the tenderness
of your sex, prove it now by your care over me ;
loose me from a bond which, while it detains me
prisoner, suffers me not to unfold my merits —ex-
hort mankind to turn over anew leaf, and for
your reward ye shall gather recreation for your
leisure hours.
NO. 302. — ENIGMA.

In person or in dress;
