4 New Game for Children.
by 4. F. BANKS.

Now, little boys and girls, want J
to pay great attention. / am going Z
try to teach You anew game. The bet,
ter you can spell, the better you will bC
able to play at it; although even those
who cannot yet spell can join in it, il
their ear" is Very good, and they
themsei YES are very, very smart.
When L mention the name of any
thlng, L want you at once to tell me
something that is connected with it..
Tor instance: suppOsing that I say
cow" you will of course at once
shout out "milk )" and to your reply
OF milk" some one may answer,
"white."
| But this is not all of my idea {: the re-
plySmust be in rhyme.
SO, you see, if say "cat," the an
sWer milk will not do-althOugh
pussy is very fond of milk indeed. But
rat will hit it and fit it exactly, for
pussy not only licks her lips over rat,
but it rhymes as we'll: Cat " rat.v
Here's another word: " Room"
There are plenty of things in {, room,
but it is no easy matter to find oi.t. that
rhymes with it. Certainly neither nj
anO," nor chair" nor mirror" nor
" carpet " will. So we must set up Il
big thinking about it. We sweeI "a
IoOm, do we not? Hurrah! ! have
found it. We sweep it with a broom.
Excellent rhyme 4" Room, i" . brOom."
Now, will give you the word d" STAR
to puzzle your brains over. A star
shines; it is bright; and it wrinkles,
and it shoots. But none of these will
do at all. But here is something that
will do to u T =" star" is {" far.U
This Is very easy one: Meat"
OF course you call out "eat," right
away. And here is another quite as
easy, but not quite so pleasant: "Cane."
You know that rhymes terribly with
pain"
Just ask some young lady of about
twenty years of age for her idea of the
most suitable rhyme to marriage"
wering, carriage" She would also
rhyme hall 4" with &" ball"
To 80 pie, reply "oh my, ;" or " buy"
and to "cake" either '"make " or
4" bake" You can mention this to
cOOkey, and you can also at the same
time ask her to give you rhymes to
ssdish = and fork" She must be Il
Did cOOkey indeed if she does
nd at once that they are &" fish "
q <" If your mother should
be in the kitchen, hint to
glOriouslY "ma'am F." rhymes
jam" This is not perhaps
~elyc good one, but it is tirst-rate hint
a. How. If you live in boarding
hoQse explain to the landlady how fear
fully 1hash " rhymes with q trash"
If you have any doubts about
splendid rhyme to "river," just tumble
into one in January, and won't you
q shiver''"
If there are any farmer children
about, ask them to rhyme to "sow."
They ought to know. When we SOW
seed, it will "grow," and if it is grass
seed, why, when it is ripe, somebody
will have to "mow."
Were you called upon to give
rhyme to '' sailor" at moments no
tice, you would be troubled to answer,
did you not reflect that whales are
caught by the crew of a ship called
. whaler;" also that such +" sailors"
are usually called "Whalers."
- Battle " tindsa good rhyme it ''rat-
.Ie." You have heard from books and
from brave Old soldiers how the musk
Its rattle On battlefield. " Attack "
5 well rhy lledby " sack" You know
hat theX town after they have
N-O,, =,
