ANSWER TO CIIARADE NO. IV.

A word respecting that charade,

A friend at hand wishes Essie to add:
He begs of her to lend her aid,

About that word Moorshedabad.

- The Moor is found on Afric’s shore,
With swarthy cheek, and deep-set eye—
sn childhood’s years, we've ponder’d o’er
‘The Moorish legends with a sigh.

A. shed for cattle men provide,
To shield from the inclement season ;
When storms are fierce, they there abide,
Govern'd by instinct, not by reason.

The letter A, though very small,
Is always found in every place ;

You see it graces every hall,
And helps to fill up every space.

How often, in this world of strife,
The hearts of parents are made sad,
And some embitter’d e’en through life,
By children’s deeds, perverse and bad,

You see, with ease we've pull'd apart
This word in Moorish vesture clad.
Replace again with less of art,
And there you find Moorshedabad.
ESSIE.
This charade was also correctly an-
swered by K. W. N. of Concord, N. H.
Me. Tutrxer,—As I had an opportu-
nity, I thought I would ask you one
question. Where is the dividing line be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans?
A friend of mine asked me the question,
the other day, but I did not answer it,
as I wanted to consult Mr. Thinker, be-
fore I did so.
Yours very respectfully,
H. B. C.

Theodore Thinker, preferring to set
others a-thinking, rather than to answer
this question at once, invites his readers —
to send him something on the subject,
which he can print for the benefit of this
young questioner.
