I'm first in the alehouse and third at the dram, In midst of the breakfast, dividing the ham; I'm first in the army, second in battle, Unknown to the child, I'm found in his rattle; I'm found in all waters, but never in wells; I'm mixed up with witchcraft, but never in spells; On lassies and ladies I wait all their lives, But quit them the moment they call themselves wives; Though strange contradictions in tales may be carried, Where virtue prevails, I am found with the married; With the grave and the gay I number my days, I mix in their prayers and join in their praise; I'm never in liquor--but once in the year, Then with statesmen and gamblers and rakes I appear; I'm not in this world, I'm not in the next, But in the old saying, "between and betwixt;" I mount with the atmosphere, taking the lead; I visit the grave and am found with the dead; I'm ancient as Noah, was first in the ark; Unseen in the light, yet, I shine in the dark; I shall last with the earth, with nature and man, I was sketched with the draft and was found in the plan; When nature and earth from existence are driven, The angels will guard me eternal in heaven. ------ A Lady Reader.

Nothing purer than the _first_ was ever seen, Or more lovely, colder, brighter, e'er I ween; If you make a _second_ of me, surely then With practice you might hit a dozen men; Lo! _total_, with its leaves of darkest green, In some gardens, in summer, may be seen. _Washington, D.C._ Waldemar. -> Answers will appear in our next issue; solvers in six weeks.
