HOME AMUSEMENTS.

CHARADE XXXIII.

RE Phebus, with his scorching ray,
Attains his vertic height,
My first shall then attend each day,
Or each succeeding night.

And if the season’s very fine,
And prospect’s very fair ;

Why then my first I'll gladly join,
To take a little air.

My second, though it’s not a ship,
Yet is with ships connected;
And if my first with me will trip,

Its use shall be inspected.

But if my first don’t choose to stir,
My whole I'll stay and see,

Though seldom planted out with fir,
Tis deck’d with many a tree.

 

CHARADE XXXIY.

HEN night brings on her darksome hour,
And stillness holds her magic power,
