There are, we fancy, many riddles knock

has as vet been found or TO which the an
swer has perhaps been lost. In the Mem

quoted of Mrs. Montague to the effect that

but nobody can catch handful" Is the
answer to this riddle eXtanti
1t was to his serious minded friend, John
Newton, that the poet Cowper propounded
the following of his own inventing;
am Just two and two, am warm, am cold
And the parent of numbers that cannot be

am often sold dear, good for nothing when
bought;
An extraordinary boon, and matter of course
And yielded with pleasure-when taken by
force.
