If made of a syrup congealed.
My whole, to be useful, surmounted must be
By my first and my second as one ;
A trio most useful—a notable three,
Whose business is aping the sun.

RIDDLE WO. Ith

You'll find me in the restless sea,
That laves the rock-bound shore,

Amid the lightning’s livid flash—
The fearful tempest’s roar.

There’s not a little twinkling star
That shines above the earth,

Or precious pearl, or diamond rare
That may deny my worth.

I’m in the enameled meads that fill
With fragrance all the air ;
The waving wheat, the daisy low,
I deck with jealous care.
The school-boy’s eyes, in childhood’s days,
Are oft upon me set ; |
I’m always in the table-talk
