Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Smith Norwood Mass. U.S.A. fHg Mot\}tx WHOSE INGENUITY HAS FINALLY BAFFLEl/ MINE IN EVERY INSTANCE STIjis ILittlc 13ook IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED /^HARADES are not for the moment, to be read ^-"^ and cast aside, but furnish amusement for hours together, round the open fire of winter, or at the summer picnic. The writing of this collection has been a pleasant intellectual exercise, and the author's hope is that his readers — and co-workers — may derive as much entertainment from the little volume as it has afforded him. / T71UTERPE and her sisters are my first; -*-^ My second will allay a parching thirst ; A parallelopipedon has sides "Which are my third, and here a law abides : My whole a bond, as will at once appear, Which joins this booklet to the present year. II y "|l TY second's very low indeed ; -^'-^ My first is very high: Some say, "My whole is what we need!" And show my third thereby. Ill ^ TTTITH the advent of evening ' ^ My first is at rest, As the roseate glory Dissolves from the v?est. Though this morning the Hyades Rose with the sun, And thus with their second The day was begun, From my whole to this evening The sky has been clear. So I judge that the rain is Not startlingly near. IV THE King, his father, Hamlet termed my first ; But by my second would denote himself ; Father and son alike were of my third: My whole's a copy of my first, — an elf. 10 11 TY last reversed -'"'-'- Becomes my first: My whole maintains The driving-reins. 11 VI HAD I my first, I would not choose My whole's career within the ring. I'd really rather court the muse, Or even learn to play and sing. Forever and my next to be Compelled to cut such capers for The savage joy and fiendish glee Of men — and women, too — galore, Is more than I could undergo. To face such peril is absurd, And certainly no joke, you know, — Or last, to use an old-time word. A burglar, now, is used to shock. He might enjoy this foreign role ; But, after all, to pick a lock Does not commend him for my whole. 12 VII "jV/TY first and last in the key of C -^'-■- Become instanter C and D : My whole at fifteen made his start, And in two years won fame in art. 33 VIII My First. IN summer time among the trees I catch the passing ear, And float along on every breeze Wherever birds are near. My Second. As doth the little busy bee Toil on from flower to flower, So hasten I as busily, Improving every hour. My Whole. I'm very sure you know of me. I walk upon the stage, A newly made celebrity, And very much the rage. 14 T IX EN times my first's one-tenth my last: My whole describes a wintry blast. 15 "II TY first is what all men are called ; -^*-^ My second is a title due To gentlemen more aged than you ; Charles Dickens' Fat Boy all appalled "Whenever he my third did do : To do my whole are taught by rule Both girls and hoys at every school. 16 XI A CALENDOGKAPHER may take ■^-^ My first from seven letters ; My second is a little cake That shines among its betters; Although my third may honor Fo 'Tis scarcely sacerdotal: I once observed a cake-walk, so Would like to see my total. 17 XII "Y first is in Germany jauntily worn, As a gay colored badge by the student up- borne ; Without it the muskets by patriots used In the sixties could never have terror infused ; "Make a plural of me," my second might say, "And you have vfhat the Irishman takes at mid- day." In my third, as 'tis often pronounced, children find More delight than do persons of more mature mind ; But when rightly pronounced it is first of its tribe To appear in the practice of every scribe : My whole you may see in the legends of old, For so were knights armored we're frequently told. 18 XIII TTE was my first to her; -'—'- My third would join them soon ; He placed my whole upon her hand To show his second boon. 19 XIV How well I recall The excitement and thrill Of the deeds of my all ! I can think of them still As I did when a lad. How well he could lie ! The adventures he had With Munchausen's can vie. I've been told that my first Is engendered by lies, But my judgment's reversed In the case of such nice And original skill. 'Tis my last, I admit. To employ them for ill. But for good? Not a whit! 20 XV ly/TY whole's a famous charioteer -LTJ. Whose skill could scarcely be surpassed. I wonder what his first would be Should he descend to drive my last? 21 XVI rriHE mad wind blowing from the sea -*- Is damp and chill. My thoughts, my total, turn to thee, My dim eyes fill. The Fog Fiend drops his cloak around; The mist drives fast. The great pines plain with mournful sound Beneath my last. Old Ocean's sobs upheave his breast. I hear his moan, As on I move, and find no rest. For I'm alone. My simple first is not profound To bury me "Within myself. My heart is bound To Germany. 22 M XVII Y last was beaten in his first Until, poor man, his total burst. 23 XVIII 4 MONKEY seized my whole, so runs the tale, -^-^ To save my last — his own, of course — from fire. Take warning here, all ye my first, nor fail, If you he'd make my whole of, to retire. 24 XIX "jl/TY sweetheart sits beneath the trees, -^^-*- My first beside her plate, The which she eats, then takes some cream, And bids my second wait. My patience gone, I cry at last: "My dearest girl, have done!" "My whole," demurely she replies, Then turns to pluck me one. 25 XX 1% TY first a species of the skate ; -^*-*- My last one-half an em of type ; My whole in Scotland won the hate Of all who feared its deadly gripe. 26 XXI y A GERMAN lad and lassie -^^ Loved my first, as Germans do, But its aggravating vraters Ever rolled betvreen the two. They had found a place, however, They could cross from last to last; Here they met and here they courted As the hours of summer passed. And before the winter reached them She had plighted him her troth, And declared that from her finger My complete should ne'er come off. 27 M XXII Y first is high; my second low: My whole possesses but one toe. 28 XXIII rriHE breeze is fled. -*- The sun has lost his chance To lift the traveller's cloak. With pattering pants My lonely first Crosses the dusty road, Wherein the tumble-bug Toils with his load. Above the dirt The waves of trembling heat Are like a dry flood spread, Parching the feet. The birds scarce chirp. My second bees hum by, Each bound for home. No cloud Is in the sky. 29 My whole is heard, And from the distant hills A rumble rises, which The tense air thrills, And promises A rain to wet the clay. And lave the arid brow Of passing day. 30 XXIV ^r first a plough for draining lands; ^^7 last a curse to contrabands- My whole is worn upon the hands. 31 XXV "14 TY first has four legs and a tail, -i^-'- An animal whose sex is male ; My last is clothed in naked skin Quite lacking tail, which seems a sin: My whole is very like my last, And furnishes a fine repast. 32 / XXVI f MHE stray cur's mouth my second forms, -^ And from his throat my first is heard. He's lost in thought and dreams of home, When suddenly he's in my third: His hour has come, — poor little soul. Let them, at least, not use my whole. 33 XXVII MY first and last an alphabetic twain : My whole a goddess and a mortal bane; A patronizer of the curse of Cain, 34 XXVIII ' TN autumn when the woods are brown My total drops from bush and tree. My second bows the neat-herd down, Who, plodding homeward wearily, His old eyes lowered as he goes, Observes my first, with many a mate. The most of which will tell, he knows, The way the wind has blown of late. 2& XXIX "- "It /TY first is dark ; -*-*-^ My second round: My whole may mark A hate profound. XXX "JI/TY first may swim witliin my first, •'-'-^ And climb my first as well. My first, the color of his horse, Grows green within the dell. My last, a lover of the flowers, Must not mistake my whole For one, and force it to enact A most unpleasant role. 37 M XXXI "^ Y last is father to my first : My whole a royal queen has nursed. XXXII ~r HAVE drunk my fill of sadness, -*- From my heart has flown all gladness, And my mind's awhirl with madness. And my withered first with sorrow Greets the coming of the morrow, Yearns from Hell relief to borrow. Were I now my last, would any For my whole, among the many Friends I own, advance one penny ? Ancient custom though my whole be, Why endeavor to control me If such dreaming can console me ? 39 XXXIII "ll TY first is a letter that every one knows ; -^'-*- My last is as plain as the nose on your face: The more you my whole it the plainer it grows. But here I will leave it for others to trace. 40 XXXIV "I" SEE my first upon the door. -■- For what do I my second ? It is my third to mark my score, For this I hadn't reckoned : If mugs of beer will break me up, I'll drink my total from a cup. 41 XXXV MY second's needed by my first To make it fit to eat; My third's a Scottish water-fall: My whole is very sweet. 42 XXXVI OH Mag she's mine, an' she's a peach. De blokes 'ad better let her be. Day get de secon', I'll get de first, Oh Maggie, she's de last for me ! Wats dat dere t'ing de poets write Wen dey're in love wid a gal like mine ? Wished I cud make it, she'd get de whole, By golly, wouldn't dat be fine ! 43 1 / XXXVII ^WO quadrupeds one biped make — A little horse, a rodent small : — My whole would gladly eat my first, But would not touch my last at all. 44 XXXVIII - ' "[\/rY first is a fortress; -'-"-'- My last to impede I\Iy whole is sufficient In less pressing need. 45 XXXIX "OEFORE the French Conquest my first ruled -■--' Algiers ; My second the last of its clan: A nation of poets in me saw their God, And my name in their hearts began. 46 XL "OELINDA stands -vvithin the porch, — -L-' My first has come and gone, — Admires the greenness of the vines, The freshness of the lawn. Her eyes turn towards the distant town And seem to seek my last. Her anxious gaze now scans the road, But not a soul has passed. A smile at length lights up her face, For over yonder hill She spies my whole. The scene would tax A master-painter's skill. 17 XLI MY first may be short, but never too long ; My second with truth is instilled, though not good : My whole is a man who is short and morose, And wouldn't be gracious nor kind if he could. 48 / XLII v/ rMHE wealth of nations from my first has come ; -'- My second is a leaf of ruddy gold: My whole's the store-house of a wealth untold, Except my first be lacking to the sum. XLIII ONE-HALF of a dance is all my first; One-fifth of my second a sea: One-fifth of my whole at far Madras One hundred pounds should be. 60 XLIV TN guessing my first you will laughingly say -*- It was truly an easy find, For joined to my second it heads an array Of a most familiar kind. My second has often arisen to cheer And console the despairing athlete. Dan Chaucer of old might allude to the deer As my second so timid and fleet. My whole is a book, and it tells of a man Who was holder of bowls of gold. All wedlock with strangers was under his ban, But of this in the book you are told. 51 M XLV Y first's my second, in the past: In whist we like my whole to last. XLVI 1% TY second lives within my first •*~^-'~ And eats it till you think he'll burst. But if my total finds him there He grinds his teeth and tears his hair, Because my total hates my last, And loves my first, — the rogue's repast. Now, what is very odd, though true. My total is my second too. 53 XLVII A PRINCE of Denmark was my first ; -^--*- My last a kind of square : My whole, though nice, would never do For mortals' daily fare. 54 XL VIII 1% TY first's a kind of fish and fowl ; -*-'-^ Of box, of berry, rake and owl ; Of polyp, and a kind of wood I wouldn't purchase if I could ; Of locust and, to end them all, Of Scottish crops and alcohol. My last's a kind of fish and bird ; Of wheat, of berry, weed and herb ; Of man, of doctor, boy and tree ; Of gate, of parsley, grass and pea ; Of bell, of bunting, pony, path ; Of plant, and here you have but half. My whole's a city and a state ; A government whose fame is great. It has for years been richer made By manufacturing and trade. A railway centre and the home Of many a wondrous spire and dome. 55 XLIX "It /TY first's a kind of fish and fowl ; -*-'J- Of book, of swivel, bug and owl; Of lead, of silver, plate and box ; Of snake, of madness, bar and pox; Of drum, of blower, pike and pout ; Of card, and much that I leave out. My last's a kind of fish and stay ; Of stone, of metal, wood and clay ; Of stick, of staple, stem and vine ; Of tongs, of cutter, wrench and line ; Of box, of office, organ, vein ; Of tree, and many yet remain. My whole's an instrument of Wales We read about in merry tales. In use for years ere we were born. It grew into the English horn. A kind of music, but perchance 'Tis more familiar as a dance. 56 "j\/rY first is head of an English tribe, -^^-^ And often leads a Gorman band. But none of the tribe are like my last, Nor can the Germans play nor stand. My whole is heard in speech and song; My first, the latter case makes Dutch, The former English, though some folk Will not in this case have it such. 57 LI / MY first is in my second; Five hundred cents my third; My whole is never fitting To he or seen or heard. 58 LII "DY low, my baby, my pretty one, sleep, -■-^ The shades of my first, with their mystery, fall, Whilst down through the window the Pleiades peep, The silent old moon is exploring the hall. Shut tight little peepers, that fairies may come, To tell of the wonderful countries that be ; Of the goodies that grow in the gardens of Sun. Strange sights fill my second that dreamers may see. Old Nurse may my third, but Mother will sing Of the sounds that enchant the wee slumbering' ear ; Of stories that fairies from Dreamland will bring To whisper them softly that baby may hear. And Mother will sing of the legends of old. Of my whole, and the glory and fame that he won. How he gained many conquests, and silver and gold : — Now sleep, little birdling, for Mother is done. 59 LIII AFAR beneath the western sun My second to my first was wed. 'Tis strange what put it in his head My lazy total to become. 60 LIV ^ It TY first the mottled light and shade -^'-*- That beautifies mahogany ; Admiring eyes are loth to see My last upon its surface made : My whole an imp with tail and claws, And everything he sees he gnaws. 61 LV ^MO one of ten add one of twelve ; -"- To these add one of ten ; One, two, and three, you have a fruit First eaten by free men. 62 LVI ^HOULD you my first for silver sell '^ You would my last the buyer. To sell it for my whole were well, But not for something higher. 63 LVII WHILST fishing in my first you may My first some fine fish there, Which can be cooked within my first To equal royal fare. My second was at one time used To mark the triple time. Though now in music not employed, 'Tis seen in prose and rhyme. My next's a grain that horses eat. Of which you may have heard: My whole, if weighed, you'd find to be One thousand times my third. 61 LVIII T AM my first and second, too; -■- My third is something sweet: My whole I might describe to you As one of several feet. 65 LIX PRAY take me, I go on feet ; Take me, too, I'm like a K; Placed in one way we are sweet; Quite a man the other way. 66 LX ■JY/TY first is a chief ; ■^'■^ My second a toe; My whole is a book You certainly know. 67 LXI My First T BKAVE with glee the tossing sea ■^ Aud whistle through the rain. My sleepy sough has proved enough For many seamen's gain. I'm borne in state among the great, And carried by the poor. I'm prized by all since Adam's fall, By Christian, Greek, and Moor. My Second And I am found the wide world round In water, earth, and air, In Germany or gay Paris, Go seek, and find me there. 08 Long years ago, as you may know, They said I was a dog's, And curiously I'm said to be Quite often found in frogs. My ^yhole Now look at me and you will see A lord, a nobleman. No British churl, no duke nor earl, Nor any of their clan. I skim the sea full merrily lu sunshine and in storm. In Flanders I am wont to lie, A sloop of curious form. LXII MY first a kind of board ; My second we apply To plains of verdant sward: My whole will mortify. 70 LXIII T HAVE my second and my first," -^ You may with truth declare ; The smallest island is my third: My whole a china ware. 71 LXIV MY first is one of five; My total one of one ; My second, two of twenty-six, Declares a race begun. 72 LXV MY first's true past can ne'er be known, Look when you will, 'tis always new ; My second's past is rightly shunned : My whole no doubt's possessed by you. For it is had by rich and poor, And constantly is bought and sold; 'Tis often prized by sage and fool, And useful to both young and old. Now, if my first my second's you, And you do not my second first, Just form a notion of them both, And you have then my whole rehearsed. 73 LXVI ■ My first a certain kind of shark; My last a little lad: My whole, a high-toned instrument, In gardens may be had. 74 M LXVII Y second and my first are one : At every birth my whole's begun. 75 LXVIII IN the rushes by the river Where my first uplifts its head, See my second dance and quiver O'er the river in its bed. See my first about in legions, And my second everyv?here. Who would join them in these regions As a well-assorted pair? But, alas, they are united In my whole by human art; And my second, when invited, Feeds upon my first's true heart. 76 LXIX "JiyTY first a poet, scholarly, retiring; -*^-*~ My second the result of rapid firing: My whole a chisel, curiously indented, Whose loss to sculptors would be much lamented. 77 LXX "lyyTY first a perfect letter ; J.tJ_ ]yjy second just as good; The more of me the better For Dentists' livelihood. 78 LXXI ' X BUILT my house upon my last. -■- So sudden was its fall, And so surprisingly my first, It must have been my all. 79 LXXII A DD to my first an insect small; -^-^ A perfect circle you have named. Another insect placed before Is a southern realm, remote and famed. Before my second place a bug; To many men this proves a blight. Upon my whole ten thousand gaze In awe and wonder every night. 80 LXXIII "lyTY first some Asiatics love to chew ; -^"-*- My second men and also canines own ; My third a farce whose characters are true: My whole an actor, dumb as any stone. 81 J LXXIV UPROSE the bubble of my first To shake a kinsrdom when it burst. With many millions of my next They had not been so sore perplexed. The blow falls as the people stand My third a loss throughout the land. My whole's in royal households found, And reitrns alone till underground. 82 LXXV "V/TY first is foremost of a fleet; -'-'-'- My second is a ditch or mound : My whole a scalloped cape, which may In paintings by my whole be found. 83 LXXVI TN America my whole lies -■- On the coast of Maine. Vessels seeking here my second In my first remain. 81 LXXVII "jl/TY first is a delicious bird; -'-"-'- My total is not less; And as my last is less than both There is no simpler guess. 85 LXXVIII T)OOR old Ribsy gulped my total, -*- But, alas, it proved my first. What a horse to try my second ! "What a pity 'tis he burst ! M LXXIX Y second and my first a brig: My whole a reckless, lawless prig. 87 LXXX BENEATH my second — far too large- My hidden first remains ; And so my whole must stick to fruit, He cannot reach my brains. 88 LXXXI "ItTY last was made. Who stole it? -*-"-■- My first, old Mother Goose declares. With others to my whole it He must have caught them unawares. 83 LXXXII "11 TY weary whole would look my last J_T_L Were he obliged to bolt my first. I see this lonely, holy man, With nose turned up, and thin lips pursed. 90 LXXXIII rPHAT my first should be a female fox -*- Will seem to you absurd, Till you've set my second after her, For then you will have heard. From an eastern palm my whole is drawn, And from it is prepared A liquor sweet and spirituous, For which I never cared. 91 LXXXIV / WHEN icicles hang by the wall, My first the shepherd blows his nail; A man who never wore my all, My last would make his pal grow pale. LXXXV BUT when the sun was low in the "West, My first arose and said : — ' ' What little sense I once possessed Has quite gone out of my head ! " I wonder if he wanders still By lake and forest, marsh and hill, Somewhere in valley or in plain To find his Jumbly Girl again ! Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks, In my last high pitched, his Girl he seeks, And because by night he could not see. He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree, On the flowery plain that grows, And he wove him a wondrous Nose. A nose as strange as a nose could be ! And here is a query, as you'll agree : Was the man who wrote all this and more A scholar, my whole, or a Chankly Bore? 93 LXXXVI ■jTOOLS fear my first and seem to be -■- Forever on my last for fate. My whole a bug whose minstrelsy My first is to prognosticate. 91 LXXXVII tX QTRAIGHT like an arrow to my first, ^^ Amid a silvery shower Of song, my startled total burst From yonder leafy bower. My merry last, the ploughman's clock, Not only poets praise Thy skill, the shepherd leaves his flock To hearken to thy lays. 95 LXXXVIII "1% yTY first a hearty old sea dog -^'-*- Who wants my last to move around. Upon his healthy sun-browned skin My whole's not likely to be found. 96 LXXXIX MY first drops down. The ship drives fast, And scuds along Before my last, Although my second Are her sails. No prayer to hear My whole avails. Though to my first All such belong, No middle ocean Knows her song. 97 xc ^ TAKE a little ore, Add the merest trifle; You have made a fish Very hard to stifle. 98 xci • rilO make my whole -'- Take this receipt: A kind of wood Subject to heat. It will my first, If kept from air, Until you have My second there. 99 XCII MY first is one ; My second five: My total four And all alive. 100 XCIII '' A STATELY river flows before -*--*- My second on a sloping sliore. As I my first upon the stream, Of past years and my whole I dream. 'Twas long ago I viewed this place, The home of my ancestral race. My second now is crumbling fast, I can but see its day is past. 'Twould almost seem to have a soul. Its very ruin breathes my whole. 101 XCIV T^ID music from my first arise -*-^ Where Addison and Steele once met At my complete their jolly set, Whilst Christopher my last served pies? New York is now my total's home, Whose name a canvas has acquired ; My last is hated and admired; My first the artist calls his own. 102 xcv "JY/TY first is round and green and sweet; -^"-'- My second is a witty man : My whole is laughing, green, and neat,— A gull since first its life began. 103 XCVI 1/ TN the circle of my whole we sit. -*- Listen to the wind around the house. Telling tales of bi-avery and wit, Hushed to hear the scratching of a mouse. As the hour of midnight draws apace, And my second flickers witli the wind, And a ghastly glimmer lights each face, Then old ghostly legends come to mind. On the stroke of twelve my first at last Hesitates, then wavers and falls dead. Hours have scarce been heeded as they passed. Cider once around, and then to bed! 104 KEY /^NE always feels a satisfaction in knowing when ^-^ one is right. The object of the key here given is, without assisting in the solution of the charades, to furnish a test for the accuracy of the answers obtained. The method employed is as follows: The letters of the alphabet are numbered from one to twenty-six. By adding the numbers of the first, middle, and last letters of a given answer, a sum is obtained, which is placed opposite to that charade in the key. In case the word contains an even number of letters, the first of the two middle ones is used. It is necessary to add that in the present volume, though the words are in every case correctly divided, the spelling of the syllables is generally disregarded and their pronunciation employed instead. Regarding one or two of my charades, I may say with "Mother Goose," in the case of her "Peacock with a fiery tail": "Mind your punctuation." 105 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQESTTTVWXT Z 1 2 3 4 6 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ny/ .4i^/ 58 22 f6 25 26 21 37 ^«« 49 7:»it./50 27 28 73 74 36 > ■ . i%-,"^' 35 3 ^4 42. 36 28 26 23 ,. / / 61 52 17 51 75 76 31 '*;?'/ ^.*/t^ 40 /^^n&^ 5 58 29 25 -^.t 28 r 1^/53 34' 77 50 6 35 30 42 78 28 r , 7 24 31 20 'r\ULfitfjib 48" l(^.M 79 13 8 54 32 51 56 46 4\.v- 80 30 9 37 33 31 57 39 81 49 10 39 34 23"' *^ .-=■ 58 41 82 36 11 10 35 31 59. r56 119 83 49 12 13 9 55 36 37 43774 38 32 45 84 85 32 43 42a^4/' 50 f ^ 14 37 38 46 62 19 86 .15 16 17 18 40 35 22 45 39 40 41 42 38 55 49 25 63 ,64 65 66 21 27 , -; '■ 53/-/. -. 87 88 89 :.90 19 35 43 42 67 34 ,91 33 i,>'izn«Xo 22 39 46 26 70 32 .-«. 94 61 ^ 23 44 47 38 71 32 ■ 95 69 Ui^'-^ 24 32 48 55 72 33 96 ^f.^ 106 (//^^■i ..p I ' <3e. f^^il^(f^.r„ 3 Z 3 ir SO , ^ '^ 'ham.
