A Correspondent has furnished us with an
answer to Miss Stewards riddle published in

the following, from the National Jaurnal, is
so near like his, as to obviate the necessity of
publishing that, if he thinks, with us, that in
Sonae respects this is the better one.
Several other answers have been published
but none which appears to be so good as this
one.
Ot all the arts the beauteous world that grace.

What slgn of peace display'd on this side
Heaven
Can equal what this form TX), the cross hath

What save NECESSITY taught plows to run?
What but Devotion to his chief, or fair,
Denotes the iOrey's row the soldiers care ?
Or who more oft than LUNA hides The sun?
Or say, whose merit since the world began.
