ENIGMA NO. III,

I am composed of 25 letters. My 25,
14,17, 24,is a beautiful little river, dear
to the lovers of poesy and song. My
2. 22, 6, 19, 21, 15, 11, died early, in
poverty and obscurity, but left behind
him an immortal name. My 1, 7, 20, 25
11, is a strait on the eastern hemisphere.
My 20, 4, 5, 13, 11, 22, 5, 9, is a skill-
ful little mariner whose ancestors in-
structed ours. My 12, 7, 3, 28, 20, 13,
‘s a mathematical line. My 6, 14, 18,
5, 12, is the bark in which Cupid sails
down the Nile. My 10, 5, 9, 12, per-
ished at the stake. My 3, 15, 7, 8,8,
has been renowned for ages, for the
laurels there lost and won. My 18, 15,
14, 11, 9, 12, 2, 15, 13, was an eminent
historian. My 2, 13, 4, 6, 23, 20, 13, 4,

is the botanical name of one of our most
valuable forest trees. My whole is mag-
nificent beyond my power to describe.

CHARADE NO. IIl.
My first doth travel far and wide
From his dear native home,
The rugged lands, the swelling tide,
Behold him ever roam.

My second on my first bestows
A fleeter step and true,

Unless, indeed, it treads too close
Upon the other’s shoe.

My sum, let not my first e’er miss,
For ’tis his rightful dole.

And mind, if e’er you answer this,
Do not forget my whole.

FLorence, MIcn. LOUIS.
