From a constant reader, who signs himself, Respectfully yours, ALEXIS. DEAR MR. MERRY: I have been trying my hand at puzzles since the reception of the April number of the Museum. I have guessed out No. 4, as you will see below. SARAH. ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 4, IN THE APRIL NUMBER OF THE MUSEUM. The first, the “_mechanic_,” I doubt not a bit, Is the _joiner_, well known by rustic and cit; The second, a word highly prized by us all, For all would be _loved_, whether great, whether small; The third, Mr. Puzzler, a _pin_, I should _guess_, For fastening a plank, or a fair lady’s dress; The fourth--let me see; I’ll think in a trice-- I have it at last! it is very fine _rice_; The fifth, it is said, “_is French for a city_,”-- Now that must be _ville_--how exceedingly pretty! The sixth, and the last, it seems very clear, Will never spell _Yankee_, but p-e-e-r. Prince de Joinville. _Gloucester, April, 1842._ MR.
