114 HOME AMUSEMENTS.

United, they a thing express,

That’s never found in scenes of pleasure,
Whose use a moral may impress—

And of the first it is the measure.

 

CHARADE XLVII.

MY first is to be seen every day in the firmament;
= my second conquers kings and queens; and my
whole is what I would offer to a friend in distress.

 

CHARADE XLVIII.
MY first is a dish I admire;
Imitation my second attends;
My whole is a place to retire,
On parting from faw’rites and friends.

 

CHARADE XLIX.
MY* first is something very bright,
That’s seen in every frosty night;
My next a fish so very coarse,
I think there cannot be a worse:
My whole once kept a piteous rout,
As still he cried, ‘ I can’t get out!” |
