| Utah-757, 75S tnot exact, but true),
759 livery good), 700, 76l. 766, 769, no
(no), III, 772, ia: "For 767 l sent
Youth for this reason : l think the
world in the quotation represents the
scenes and incidents of human life. Youth
gets up the flaming posters, and in glowing
colors paints glorious programme. While
age noting the vast difference between an
ticipation and reality pronounces it all
a feeting show for mans illusion given. >"
Trinity-772, 773, ia, TT first and
last right, the second wrong), 779, $50,
1872, 7S5 well, yes but there are more
words in the exclamation. 7S7-Trinity
says, giving the answer that the author is
San Quentin Rose" ''rhe first line of
| the last verse also betrays her. We know
she comes from Concord, New Hampshire
See No. lS6-about that time Rose
accused me of plagiarism" referring to
lS6 we find Rose did ''give herself away. y
Trinity adds ~ hain't said nothing
for some time, so please tell Rose the
Court is convinced, for
'Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars cage, etc.
am in the same boat with Amy regarding
1888. [ made it out Arithmetic, but it
would not prove itself entirely correct.
1888 says my fifth and eighth are always
the same now the fifth is I'll and the
eighth is l, thus making an error some
where l also sent Bobolink to 768, which
contend IS the best answer. Philomel is
a word of three syllables. If the author
makes his first and second syllables, he
should make the third and fourth syllables
also The only way can make four sylla-
bles is Phil.o-em-el. sent you a metrical
charade some time ago, the first l ever at
tempted was it faulty? | thought it
quite good. am certain Rose and Hattie
Heath would answer it, Perhaps it is
compound word" In reply we have to
say to Trinity that the metrical charade
either miscarried or was published. We
do not know exactly to what he refers, but
we have none of his MS of that class on
file.
Ora and Carrie-MS received. These
Young ladies add 1--WE would like to
thank Hattie Heath and others for their
kind words of encouragement, ard hope we
shall do better for having received them.
f. C. DIST. Z. c. D. adds: The
serious business of life crowds me from
this pleasant corner, but in spirit am al
ways with you" And l must have aguessat
the authorship of 1877. If had found it
unsigned on another continent / should
have exclaimed Casper, or his twin
genius The rollicking, bewitching con-
tempt for the rigid laws of meter, the
quaint selection of some of the rhyming
words, and the honest, straightforward
simplicity of the subject are oddities and
graces, which consider decidedly Cas-
perian.
F.M. S.-772, 773. IT'S, TT tNo. is
right, but not No. p. 779, $50, ISL, 1872,
7S4, 7S5, 1877. +. M. S. adds:
The answer and thought is tint of the rose,
The verse is clean cut, like II. H. make;
But the sentiment true, in verse or in prose,
Must go whence 1t came to Augusta Blake.
Let us add that Rose may now well ex-
claim, Such is fame"
G. E. Orge-Glad to welcome you once
more. 766, 76S (no), 40 (ne).
Augusta Blake. -Charades in verse re-
ceived.
