NO. 447.— RIDDLE.
My first is the first of all air,
And, almost, as all are afraid,
’Tis a component part of all fair,
And abounds in a handsome maid.
My second is heard in a rage,
And better far, surely, in humor,
In rough words, and surly outrage,
And frequent in street-corner rumor.
My third more than once in a kirk,
Has been seen the last of the flock —
Often used to finish a dirk,
As oft at the end of a dock.
Now, the whiles I was growing there came
And went by full six score years,
And my whole had its singular name
While a world was veiled in tears.

no. 454. — riddle.
Mortal, wouldst thou know my name,
Scan the powers I proudly claim :
O’er sea and land my power extends
To every herb my care descends.
Did I withhold my vital breath
All Nature’s forms would sink in death.
’Tis I, the spirit of the shell,
Who fill with notes the listening dell ;
And, when the war trumps sound alarms,
’Tis I who summon men to arms.
Made captive by the arts of man,
My various services began.
Sometimes, ’tis true, I am so frail
As, ruffian-like, to raise your veil,
And thus to curious man reveal
The charms you modestly conceal.
Revenge the deed! —announce my name,
For now you know the power I claim.
Port Gibson, Miss. J. A. S.

Special Notice.
Hereafter we shall bo compelled to reject contribu
tions to the Chimney Corner unless they ure written only
on one side of the sheet, and entirely disconnected from
other matters. It takes up too much of our time to hunt
them out from the middle of business letters, and they
cannot he conveniently put into tho hands of the printer
when on both sides of tho sheet. Correspondents will
please note this, and hereafter if their contributions do
not appear they will know the reason.
Fifty-Seven Gold or Silver Medals,
OH other highest premiums, have been awards
in a few years at the principal Industr ,1 iv' lth ;
i
CABINET ORGANS.
Their instruments have been repeatedly
DECLARED THI3 IIEST
by the various State Fairs throughout the Union, and re
ceived THE FIRST PRIZE MEDAL at the Paris Exhib
ition in 18G7. As an instrument for smaller churches,
Sunday schools and day schools, the Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ stands confessedly without a rival. For
all sacred music and the accompan'iuent of voices, its
power of sustaining tones gives it great advantages over
the piano, while in those general points which constitute
excellence in instruments of its class, it has received the
almost universal preference of the best judges.
