I'm something every day you see,
Perchanre you now may look me;
I'm everywhere around
The highest vaIue me is set,
hen waiting through long weary years.
You watch the asst returning mail
6Dd all your expectations fail.
I'm in the battles dread array:
Have been the cause OF many a fray,
When my locality untraced
For years, hath now become effaced.

And hold your fortune in my hand;
And yet some little freak of rate
Might all your wealth annihilate.

SO come. don't be shy, Sir,
To answer 1t, try, sir.
Your failures she'll freely forgive:
Jnst pluck up our courage and guess It,
liour answer, perhaps, wont be right,
Bnt still keep on trying

Her smiles all second" and winning
Wen, that's II her smiles you can share,
(Ihis life would be naught
If yany we sought
The smiles OF the pure and the ftir);
Like dew IN the sweet early morning
That falls on The flowers below.
They seem TO caress,
And strengthen and bless,
And lie TO the dropping bestow.
oh total" last" pure and blissful,
There's nothing in life hall so sweet,

Then meath brighter skies
May eacn one arise
And dream that sweet dream evermore

of such prominent posers. She saws she is

spot. DICK Iarleton contributes a nea. charade.

Madame Bzzette has my thanks for her SOU
lions beg to inform her that Marmion's poem
Is not IN the nature OF puzzle. Probably the
young lady oil whom lie sang has sent him the
answer ere now. - The Study has suspended for
while on account OF Dorothy Doolittle, its edi.

trust the young lady Will soon resume the pen.
