THE YOUTH’S CABINET.

ROITORLAL TABLE-PALR.

gaAR Mr. Epiror,—
After a long silence,
during which I have
been doing almost
everything mention-
able, except forget-
ting our good friends
the Casrnet, and its
editor, I have con-
cluded to send another
contribution for your “ pi-
geon-hole,” for it cannot
reach you in time for any
other place, I fear, as the Cas-
INET only arrived a short time

  
 
 
 

ceive it in time to answer any-
thing, though we have daily eastern mails.
I will, however, answer a charade and a
rebus, at a venture.

 

ANSWER TO CHARADE NO. XI.
You assist us to walk, and your “great one’s”

a king,
And a stick is oft reckoned a valueless thing ;
Yet the use of one, sometimes occasions &
noise
Of unpleasant meaning, from bad girls and
‘boys.
To answer your riddle ’s not much of a trick,
The key of the whole is a good walking-stick.

 

ANBWER TO REBUS NO, II.

{ think your fish-man is a net, and your metal
bright is tin,

And the water in a kettle boils, to steep the
tea-plant in ;

The animal with downy hair, is nothing but a
Cat,

And I’m almost sure the flying thing can only
‘be a Bat;

The vehicle you mention, too, is probably a
Gab;

   

since. Indeed, we rarely re-

And I think, of something good to eat, you
every day are glad,

That boys exposed to sunbeams, oft will tan,
is also plain,

And T’'ve heard them speak of roguish boys,
as being full of Cain:

But when you added the last line, ah, Rob!
you thoughtless boy,

I knew ’twas Casiner you meant, it gives us
so much joy. H. L. W.
A boy writes us from Fond du Lac, in
Wisconsin, to tell us that he has studied
out the rebus of L.S.H. He answers
it correctly, as does our friend Mrs. H. L.
W. We should be glad to hear again
from the “Badger Boy,” as he styles

himself,

We have just been looking over all
the pigeoh-holes in the Caniner, that are
appropriated to -enigmas, charades, and
the like; and we find that at present
there is quite a dearth in that department,
so far as good specimens are concerned,
We wish some of our friends, who always
succeed well when they attempt anything
in this lime—and we have such friends,
a plenty of them—would send along an
enigmatical invoice or two. Help us,
kind friends; we are in a suffering con-
dition. “Well, what do you want?”
Want !—anything you think of, or dream
of, provided it is good and original. We
don't like threadbare things. Where are
8, N. and Louis?

 

TRY IT, AND 6EE.

Let two Roman fives at extremities meet

At the right hand of these add two circles
complete ;

Then five times one hundred place at the right
hand,

And a nice winter’s comfort they make as they
stand. B. B.
