Let all other things lie,
And I'll tell You little more.

RHYMING cHARADE.
Der distant hills the rising moon
The evening mist dispersed,
And, beamiug radiant from her throne,
She plainly showed my first.
A horseman, now seen by her light,
Approached with headong speed;
And, SIS he passed, my second said
To urge his foaning steed.
For his lady-love still waited
Though the lrysting hour was past,
My whole she was ia truth, because
he was my third and last.

At dead of night these visions rise
They haunt me through the livclong day;
Imay their phantom shapes despise
But meier can keep them all away.

SQUARE WORD.
Would you neatly form a square.
Find of letters four,
The policeman's round will give a word
Without tedious pore.
Would you find the second word
RepOse the best suggestion
The opposite of trouble seek
An aid to good digestion
quarter Of the globe comes next,
Only y TO put in now
For fourth go find the sorrowfuI
And make the sign OF woe

Homer of old, as stories tell
His Had put in a nutshell;
But did you know what / conceal
The fate of Kingdoms common veal
In me Thousand mischiefs lie

In me the merchant lays his dust,
In me the tradesman puts his trust
But hold-my being to explore,
Know Pm inanimate-no more
