Thou sleepest here, all, all alone-- No other grave is near thie own, "Tis well, "tis well ; but oh, such fate Seems very,svery desolate. We know not whence thy little form Was borne through rain, and wind, and 3 We know not to what far-off wild They sought to take thee, lonely child. We only know thy puny life Was-all unequal to the strife, And that thy dust is sleeping here, Unwet but by the stranger's tear. Alas what bitter tear-drops stole From thy poor mother's stricken soul, When!in this dark and gloomy dell The damp clods on thy bosom fell ; How throbbed her brain, how throbbed her When mournfully she turned to part From the rude mound her dear one o'er To gaze upon it nevermore ! But yet it matters not, poor. child, That thou must sleep in this lone wild ; Each Spring time, as it wanders past, Its buds and blooms wilt round thee cast -- The thick-leaved boughs and moonbeams Will o'er thee spread a solemn veil, And softest dews and showers will lave The blossoms qn the infant's grave.

It certainly seems to have been not originate with them That the Jews were well acquainted with it must be clear to any familiar to the Bibles Not to dwell on the well kna one of Sameon, Josephus tells us how great wus Solomon both at making and solving riddles, and how he won a sum of money from test, and afterwards lost it a similar may to one of Hiram's suljects--nay, the questions which the Queen of Shela put to Solomon, it has been thought, were posers of the riddle kind. But other people of the East, beside the Jews, have cultivated the riddle largely. Tt figures in the Koran as well as in the Bible; and eyen whole books of riddles, we are told, are to be found in Arabic and Persian. Then, again, we know that among the Greeks and Romans, the riddle was very common: Indeed, if Pla tarch is to be believed, Homer died of one he could not solve. Chagrin at lis failure killed the poor old bard. Nor during the dark or middle ages do we find that riddles had grown into disfavor. On the contrary they were much cultivated, and our fore- fathers found great amusement in them, Specimens of what these riddles were may be met with in English, French, and German. They exist in many a funny old book like that which was printed by Wynkin de Worde as early as igh, and. which bore the title of " Demands Joyous." Some of these demands like the age were very coarse and simple. When we gét nearer our own times (for the Reformation somewhat put a stop to the merrymaking and riddle making that used to go together), we find the riddle kept its ground as well on the Continent as in England. in France, a learned Jesuit wrote a treatise on the subject, and about the time of Louis Quatorze the muk- ing of riddles grew quite fashionable. Those literary Lig wigs, Rousseau and Voltaire, tried their heads at riddle making. After their time Mercare de France became a regular vehicle for riddles, and to solve one, it is even said, made the solver fam- ous. In Germany, Schiller built up the riddle to what it had scarcely beep before. Its conception became a poetical one. With him it grew to be a thing of beauty, and invested with charms that only poetry can give. He mude it possessan interest and meaning that lay beyond its mere solution. As treated by him, it gives one an idea of what it might have been of old, and of his having gone back to the time of the Sibyls, and learned the art of making rid- dles from them. ' Here is one by Schiller which has force and spirit: . Ba Tit a house of stone I keep, Where I hidden lie and sleep; But, steel weapon summoned by, Forth I leap, and out I fly; Faint, weak, small, at first a breath Might overcome me; and in death Whelm me might a rain-drop then ; Yet doth victory fledge me, when Joined by my strong sister, lo! 1 the world's dread conq'ror grow, Tn the olden time the riddle was] In England and in this country we have always shown a love for riddles, as great, perhaps, as that of 5|any other country, and' never more so than in the present day, to judge by the collections made of them, and by what we almost daily see and. hear. But-most of those are properly conundrums--a 'mere playing upon 'words. A taste for this kind of thing may- be indulged in till it grows to be a frivolous one; bat it is worthy of note how many English walk of life belong to those who, in some form or other, have tried their bands at riddle-making. : To begin with statesmen--Fox tried his on woman, and made a-rid- dle of her, which was hardly fair from him. It was not bad; but a better one is that which he contrived about a bed: Formed long ago, yet made to-day, And most employed when others sleep ; What few would wish to give away, And none would wish to keep. Not less good is that by Canning on the word cares, which, perhaps, his political life suggested, but which, it is to be hoped, his domestic life in | that cuse might find u ready answer} to. It is notso well known but that one may give it here: A noun there is of plural number, Foe to peace and tranquil sinmber : Now any other noun you take, By adding s you plural make, But if you add an s to this Strange is the metamorphosis ; Plural is plural now no more, And sweet what bitter was before. Cod has been made into something very good, and - has often been laid at Macauluy's door, but he never had anything to do with it. The suppo- sitivn, however, that he had--per- haps even more than its own excel- lence--has led to the cutting off of many a head and tail, that folks can make neither head nor tail of. Here are some of these disjecta membra for my readers to make anything out of that they can: Cut off my head, and I have horns to gore you; Cut off my tail, my sting yet know me by; 4 Cut off both head and tail, I still may bore you, ' Though nothing now is left me but a ery!

The answer is, ¢ Chien- dent, or dog-grass.' But we shail look in vain for any .charades that have all the various merits of Praed's --his easy elegance, his force and spirit, his play of fancy, his true po- etic feeling. As it is very short, and elegant besides, we find room for one of the only two riddles, properly so called, that he wrote: In other days, when hope was bright, Ye spake to me of love and light, Of endless spring and cloudless weather, And hearts that doted linked together! But now ye tell another tale : That life is brief and beauty frail, That joy is dead and fondness blighted, And hearts that doted disunited! Away!

They are the only ones to oppose those of Schiller, thong they are written in a very different style from his Schiller's are those of a poetical re- cluse, and have a Sibyline beauty about them. Praed's are those of the man of the world, but of one who carried something of the poet too, and the philosopher also, into it. They seem written not so much fof ti.e sake of the enigma as to give free play to his own poetic faucy. They are none of them: yery hard to guess; and yet there is one that some twenty yews ago made not a little noise in the world (though not by any means his best), as no one had been able to find the answer to it. from affection.

In those days mothers of young children wonld not condemn them to bare limbs, uncomfortably fancy clothing, and unhealthy six o'clock. dinners, because everybody else does it who live on the same street! But vefore such days can come, women must be what they are not now; and men must help them to become so. In France, all vocations are open to women. We bave heard the story 'of Rosa Bonheur, and could match its independence in a thousand lower as well as many higher posi- tions. Our women wear French ribbons and Alexander's gloves; but what would they think, if asked to imitate the wife and daughter of Alexander, who pecuniarily independent, still sew and sell those gloves? In a private letter to a friend, Sii James Macintosh wrote of his wife: « She was a woman, who, by ten- der management of my weaknesses, gradually corrected the most pernici- ous of them. She became prudent generous nature, she was taught ec nomy by ber love of me. During the most critical period of my life, she relieved me from the cares of my affairs, and preserved order in them. She gently reclaimed me from dissi- pation She propped my weak and irresolute nature, she urged my indo- lence to useful and creditable exer- tion, and was perpetually at hand to admonish my heedlessucss and im- providence. To her I owe whatever I am, to her whatever Ishall be.

Here it is plainly shown that if women worked more, men might work less, and time for enlture could be afforded to all. To effect it men must cease to admire white hands, dragging skirts and a general air of uselessness. They must give point to such opin- jons as they have by seeking some- thing better in marriage than money or fashion. : 7 Do these speeches encourage a woman to labor?
