In this month’s Museum, we find an invitation to answer twenty questions which you have proposed, and our indulgent father has consented to pay the postage if we will find correct answers and send to you. But how can you expect children, who live on Rock River, Illinois, to know a great deal? So, Mr. Merry, if the answers are not all correct, you must not laugh at us, but please to tell us, in the next Museum, what the right answers are; and, when it is convenient, will you tell us a little something about the two New Holland animals? We have been threatening you with a letter for a month past; for you must know that, the 23d of October, the numbers for September and October arrived, and we verily thought you had forgotten us, and we should never see the Museum again. Now, Mr. Merry, you know we cannot get as many books to read as the children who live east, so we depend upon the Museum, for both pleasure and profit, more than many of your black-eyed and blue-eyed readers; so, if you please, we would like the Museum every month, certainly by the tenth of the month. We like the story of Inquisitive Jack very much, and hope he will not forget, very soon, how to ask questions; we also are very much interested in Jumping Rabbit’s story. Blue-eyed EDWARD E. P――――. Black-eyed S. ADALINE P――――. Nov. 1st, 1843. ―――― HOLLISTON, Nov. 23. MR. MERRY: I take this opportunity to write a few lines. I have taken your Museum for the year, and I like it very much. I think if you put in a piece of music it would be much more interesting. I have always taken an interest in your Puzzles; and, as you have had none in your last numbers, I thought I would make one, and if you think it deserves insertion, you can insert it. I am composed of fourteen letters. My 1, 6, 10, 5, 2, 7, is a town in Massachusetts. My 11, 5, 9, 4, is a place in Boston. My 5, 9, 7, is a metal. My 3, 6, 12, 13, 14, 4, is a city in Europe. My 6, 10, 5, is an insect. My 4, 6, 1, 11, is a river in New England. My 12, 9, 7, 14, is a kind of wood. My 2, 7, 9, 11, 10, is a vegetable. My 10, 6, 9, 13, is a very useful article. My 6, 1, 8, 11, 3, is a town in Massachusetts. My 14, 5, 10, 6, is a burning mountain. My 13, 14, 6, 4, 8, is an adjective. My 14, 6, 4, 8, is a point of the compass. My 9, 13, 13, 9, 3, 11, 9, 4, is one of the States. My whole is a city on the eastern continent. From a black-eyed friend, H. P――――. ――――
