NEW PUZZLES.

NO. 1. NUMERICAL.

When trees and fields _complete_
Their garbs of green;
When birds and flowers sweet
Again are seen,
And airy zephyrs murmur by,
My 5, 4, 3 and 6 soars high.

Oh! how I'm in a state
Of agitation,
6, 1 and 2 I get
An inspiration.
'Twill be in vain--in vain my lay,
For spring will then have flown away.

_Villanova, Pa._ VILLANOVA.

NO. 3. CHARADE.

_Prime_ not, ye fair ladies, or gentlemen wise.

NO. 5. MUTATION.

Like a hawk that pounces on its prey,
Swift as lightning on a summer day,
Through the stillness of the air you came,
Without life, and more--without a name.
Man has called you _whole_--perhaps you are
Dross ejected from some brilliant star!
But methinks the spheres their place will yield
ERE TO TIME your mystery is revealed.

_Newark, N.J._ DEMOSTHENES.

NO. 6. SQUARE.

1. Gaps. 2. By reason of this. 3. A fleet of vessels. 4. A sort of
flying fish. 5. A title addressed to a lady. 6. The principal gold coin
of ancient Greece.

_East Brady, Pa._ ST. ELMO.

NO. 7. CHARADE.

Come here, my _second_--lose no time;
_First_ lively, don't procrastinate;
Although, my _all_, I'll spare no pains
To render you less obdurate.

My _all_! Yet truly as a _last_
I've learned to look upon my boy:
Most true it is, 'tis but a _one_
From sad distrust to life of joy!

_First_ dame, indeed, I would not be
Held in my _second's_ inmost thought;
