THE RIDDLER.

New Biddies. 3325. Charadb.— By D, Riverton :—

In a sunny clime I linger, - Where the touch of beauty's finger Sets me trilling, trilling, trilling, • On the mountains and the plains. . And while sweetly uraceful'dancea, Every joy of life enhances. Loving looks and tender glances, The nymphs first to their swains. Now the sun from sight is sinking, Soon the orbs of night are blinking, And they twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, ' O'er the Andalusian shore. Then the toi ers by the waters Haste to jolu their wives and daughters ; The fish respited from their slaughters, When they first second third no more. 3326. Kiddle —By Double U V,Oamaru :— To my iiddler friends I send a draught, I hope 'tis not tco thick ; Just swallow a letter of a single word, And leave what makes you (phonetically) sick. 3327. Charade.— By JT M, Timaru :— • tar across the sunlit bay, - . Proud my whole pursues his way. Beheaded, and a letter changed, You'll find me on the stormy main. Beheaded yet, b ings that to sight, To do which should be our delight. Once more beheaded, and 1 glide In at your chamber window wide. Again beheaded— almost spent, To favour asked I giee consent. Last time beheaded, strange to say, I'm first each year, tho' last each day. 3828.

The primala name a pleasant time, '1 hut cornea but once a \ear, Flower* and treoj put forth their buds, In beauty they appear. The finals of primals does give To earth a wondrous charm ; Foretells when fruit and flowers come, , And harvest on the farm. 3320. Charadb.— By ABC:— My first is either good or bad, May please or may offend you ; My second in a thirsty mood Can very much befriend j ou ; My whole, though called a cruel word, Is often deemed a kind one ; With smiles it sometimes may be heard, With tearß, at othera, blind one. 3330.

Charade.— By Spinster, Kaihiku :~ Second third first people dance ' , Till midnight has gone past ; The dancers are as in a trance, Wishing time would not fly so fast. - At supper, my fourth you'd not see, ' But children like it full well. ,- * My whole will a town surely be, That you ought to bo able to tell. 3333.
