RHYMING ANSWERS.

This being a novelty, requires ex-
planation. Each line of the riddle
has its own separate answer, and all
the answers must rhyme with each
other, and not with the ends of the
lines. The artls to so blend the lines
that they seem to refer TO one thing
all the way through, when really they
have no connection with each other.
Here is very simple example:
l come from Ireland every day,
Though on your head IN glad to stay ;
Beware my scratch, tho soft my paw,
And lay me fiat before your door.
AaS,rers: Pat, hat, cat, mat.

How many homes are cheered by me!

Yet torture folk of every age.

Tho oft in peaceful workshops found,
/ shelter men on slaughter bound

I'm twice as great as any other;
I'm all that's left where men have
toiled;
I'm never liked, tho often borrowed :;
I'm often born when eggs are boiled.

-Four legs have l, when seen complete,
And many tongues, yet never eat:
Full many a beast | cause to speak,
And fiery steeds in me are meek.

And wear my furs in every weather.

"The Pine and The Palna," by N. H.
Hotchkiss- by J. D. Ehlers Il
Co., Baltimore. This is a history written,
CON onaore, of the first organized inter
change OF caurtesies that took place be-
tween the two sections Of the Union after
the civil war. The inception and perfec-
ton of the plan is due to the author, Maj.
Hotchkiss, who conceived the idea OF aid
ing the work of reunion by taking half
hundred editors of respectable journals in
either section, and giving them a tour
through country lately hostile-the Nor
thern editors going South, and the South
ern editors going North. The history of
the excursions given at the time (71-7S,)
of their occurrence is familiar to the cenn-
try, but the reader will find in this book
a more connected and better written mar
rative than he has met elsewhere. A fine
photograph of the popular author makes
the frontispiece. The volume is handsome
ly bound.
