ENIGMA.
I'm a word of live letters, and oft may l)C soeil By the banks of llio liver, so sedgy and green! v 1 am here, I nm there—tho'at night, morn and noon, I obey the behests of the man in the moon! If beheaded I bo, you then will behold A noble of England, as 1 have been told— This last, if transposed, will dlseloso to your view The converse of sham, and must therefore bo true, Trantpoho mo again, and a king will arise, Bereft of sweet vision—tho' aged, not wlso,— This last, if beheaded again, you will llnd, Shews a part of the body so prized by tho blind; Transpose me again, and, to end my brief story, See the knight of tho balls! whose liamo Is not Norrle, J.D, Ohlncmuri.
