Dunbar?" "Belle has." 6. My dolls had the measles last month. 7. Every
soldier leaves his tent. "Rout the enemy!" is the battle-cry. 8. I
heard, with regret, that she had lost her ring. 9. I composed a song of
which the first verse begins something like this: "Hark! 'tis a cricket
chirping." 10. Wax dolls melt when left too near the fire.

POETICAL REBUS.

A two-line quotation from Cowper.

RIDDLE.

Gleaming gayly, flashing light;
White as snow, and black as night;
Ladies, I'm your slave, your pride,
Though in ocean I abide.

Power have I o'er life and death,--
I, a creature without breath!
I, so small that you can draw
Fifty, like me, through a straw.

SUGGESTED WORD-SQUARE.

In the following rhyme, the words of the Square are suggested by the
sense, and are to be inserted in the blanks, in order, as the blanks
occur,--the first word in the first blank, the second word in the second
blank, and so on.

To buy a ---- was foolish waste.
(I'd no ---- how it would taste!)
"I'll just have bread and ----," said Daisy.
"Who ---- a fruit like that, is crazy!"

B.

ANAGRAMS.

In the following sentence, the words printed in capitals are anagrams of
the words that should occupy the same places, so as to make sense. Thus:
BATTLE-SCREENS is a compound-word that takes the place of another to be
formed of the same letters arranged differently; the right word, in this
example, being "center-table;" but each of the other collections of
capitals is an anagram of but a single word.

I saw TENT SUDS by the BATTLE-SCREENS, puzzling over THE MICA MATS, and
perplexed about MANY ROOTS.

COMPLETE DIAMOND.

The centrals of the diamond are each the same word, of five letters,
spelling the name of a Frenchman who became notorious during the great
French Revolution. The remainder of the diamond is made of words formed
from the letters of his name. The diamond incloses a hollow square,
either of whose perpendiculars or horizontals, read backward or forward,
will spell a word; and, reading from the middle letter to either end of
either of the centrals, a word will be spelled, which, when read
backward, will spell another word. Make the Diamond. TREBONIUS.
