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. Blue Spring Place . no. 448. — ENIGMA.

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. —— Answers to Puzzles, etc., in No. 46. No. 428 —The number required is 28. No. 429 —Jane T. H.
