"St. Nicholas, Vol. 5, No. 4, February 1878"

After passing a
river of Maine evening (30), she bade a cape in Iceland (31) to her
hostess, and was escorted home by an island in Nova Scotia (32).

NUMERICAL ENIGMA.
My 1 2 3 4 is undoubtedly possessed by every one of the whole race
of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (my whole), while my 5 6 7 8 ends a prayer.

ILLUSTRATED PUZZLE.
[Illustration]
Twelve things may be found in the picture above,
Not clearly perceived by the eye,
But with keen observation and witty conceit,
You will find them, I know, if you try.
First point out (1) an animal (other than bear),
(2) A spectator, (3) a portion of corn,
(4) One part of a sentence, and (5) parts of a bird,
And (6) what may your fair head adorn.
Now (7) part of a river, and (8) parts of a book,
And now, if you please, take the trouble
To pick out (9, 10) two letters, which, rightly combined,
In classical language mean "double."
The remaining two things in the picture above,
To which I would call your attention,
Are (11) part of a carriage or part of a boy,
And (12) a sort of a stop or suspension.
AUNT SUE.
