CHARADE.
saw n weary stranger,
Whose clothes were very old,
Stop at an First's seclusion
To shield him from the cold.
Around the First's bright FIRE
i saw a number more,
And there heard their stories
Rich in the country lore.
And while they chatted gaily
An uproar from outside
Attracted our attention
To the great door open wide
The Second had fallen inward
Upon its noisy band
And caused enough of granting
To waken Egypts landi
And after all was quiet
sound again, strain
Not from the Seconds inmates,
But the Third of the coming train.
And in one of the coaches
found nice warm seat.
And was borne away in safety
My fellows for TO meet.
The whole must name our meeting,
An educated band,
That come together often
In all parts of our land.
