RIDDLE-ME-REES.

My first's in Hope, but not in Joy, My next’s in Game, tout not in Toy My third’s in Happy, not in Gay, My fourth’s in Petal, not in May. My fifth in Ivy’s ever seen, My sixth’s in King and in his Queen. My seventh in New Year hides quite deep, My eighth we find in blissful Sleep.: My-'ninth and last is seen quite clear In ev’ry Glass when you draw near. My whole is what I wish could toe The lot of all, on land and sea. • * * * I come in man, but not in dog, I’m in a toad but not a frog. I’m found in grape' 1 but not in plum, 1 come in -gin tout not in rum. I’m in your head but not your feet. I’m in the grain tout not the wheat. I’m found in ink but not in pen, I come in women and in men. I’rn found in pong but not in ping, I’m in a Queen but not a king. I’m in the sea and in the sky, My whole is something great and high.

My first is in ivory so pure and white, My second’s in Italy fair. ''MJy third is in succour but never in fight, My fourth is in trouble—not care. My fifth is in orange, so juicy and sweet, My sixth in in roses so red. My seventh’s in tidy but not found ia neat, My eighth is in chair —not in bed. My whole is a queen, whom some may recall, She was loved by many, revered by all. * * « * Take a word from each of the following sentences and find a wellknown saying— \ “If is nol poetry, but prose run mad.” “ He who takes a cllild by the hand takes the mother by the heart.” “ Two of a trade can never agree.” “To know her was to love her." “'One swallow does not make a summer.” “ I know a maiden fair to see.” “ Beware of entrance to a quarrel.”
