ANSWERS TO ENIGMAS IN JANUARY NUMBER. =1.= Inside. =2.= Air. =3.= Mal-ice. ENIGMAS. 4. A museum am I, and my pictures so true That their merits are never disputed by you Such graphic expression each sketch must reveal Of all I present to engage the ideal: My collection abounds in so varied a stock (Some sure to enchant, while some others may shock) Of portraits and landscapes, and scenes of the past-- Historic and classic; some others are cast In chimerical moulds, and stand out to the sight In colors of fancy illusively bright. Some are visions of dreams that appeal to the sense With a mystical fervor, so fair their pretence. Now this Exhibition at will you may view, For you'll aye find it open and gratis to _you_: Though you'll enter it solus, your gaze none can share, So it's not like the show in Trafalgar-square. 5. My first "to know" might signify; My second "melody" imply; My third must "fashionable" mean; And in my whole much fashion's seen. 6. More truly valuable am I, As visibly is shown, Than California's gold could buy-- Which you at sight must own. Of one alone, or else of three, You'll fabricate my name; Then, even backwards spelling me, You'll find me still the same. 7. As introductory, I'll state, We are a family of eight, Fluent of speech as e'en are you, And quite as comprehensive, too. Our character is somewhat strange-- One-half of us are apt to change In constitution frequently, As you continually may see: Although the other four, 'tis plain, Unalter'd always must remain; And in their own primeval state, Your constant exigence await. Collectively, our family With reasoning humanity Must o'er retain the first degree. 8. My first is what you all must share So long as you respire the air; And when deceased, survivors will Your proper share attribute still. My second's what I think you'd do Whene'er my first might do so too. Then let the two united be, To form what you'd not wish to see. Receipts, &c. THE SICK ROOM AND NURSERY. IMPROVED MODE OF ADMINISTERING SENNA.--Take of senna three drachms; lesser cardamom-seeds, husked and bruised, half a drachm; boiling water, as much as will yield a filtered infusion of six ounces. Digest for an hour, and filter when cold. This is a well-contrived purgative infusion, the aromatic correcting the drastic efforts of the senna. It is of advantage that it should be used freshly prepared, as it is apt to spoil very quickly.
