K

I am baked in a cake, but I never see bread, I can fork hay, and rake, but I can't lie in bed; I can like, but not love; though no doe, I'm with the buck; I'm in kite, but not in dove; and I'm always in luck.

J

I'm in a baby-jumper, and with joy I laugh and sing, But I quickly find myself shut up in jail, Where I pass my time in jokes, or perhaps in conjuring, Till I lead the Judge, who says I'm "out on bail."

I

I live in an Inn, yet I never taste beer, I never smoke, chew, or use snuff; I am seen in high life, yet I'm true to my wife, And now I have told you enough.

H

At the door of a hut I must stand, it is true, Yet of the king's household I'm one; I revel in heather all wet with the dew, And yet I am never in fun.

{343}

G

I grow in grace, yet gayety Would have no place except for me; I greet the gardener with a grin, E'en though I lie the grave within.

I'm with the King, yet shun the Queen; I walk in grey, ah! yes in green; I gleam in gold, yet live in gloom, And at a wedding kiss the groom.

F

I am in the farmer's field, I am fresh in all his fruits; I'm in all his forests wide, But I'm not in his pursuits.

E

Twice told, I'm in Eternity, And yet I live in time; I eat and sleep in every place, Yet soar in the sublime.

D

I darken your doors and your windows, And if you are deaf, dumb, or blind, You may know I am always quite ready, Your duds or your dainties to find.

{344}

C

Though I live in the ocean so blue, Yet I never am seen in the sea; I can cast a sheet-anchor, 't is true, And captains depend upon me.

B

I grow in the bean, And to beauty I lean, And when buttercups bloom I am there; I bend the boy's bow, And the bugle I blow, Till I wake the Kamtchatcadale bear.

A

I lead out the ape, and I'm seen in the glass; I hide in the grape, and I'm found in the grass.

I was there in the garden when Adam was made, Not to help them to sin, though I stood in their shade.

You can not have an apple, an orange, a pear, But in each and in all, I must have my full share.

You can not eat nor speak, nay, nor hear, without me; That I'm chief among my fellows, you all must agree.

_QUIRKS._

A little word of letters five That means bound fast together; Transpose but two, and you will find A scattering yon and hither.

UNITE--UNTIE.

And now a word of letters four Five perfect words will make, If you transpose and rightly place 'Tis true and no mistake.

LEVI--LIVE--VILE--EVIL--VEIL.

Now five are found, With spring and bound A twist or turn to take, And ere we know, All in a row, Five other words they make.

The times are bad, The items sad, The mites must meet their fate; To smite the rock Emits a shock That hurls us from the gate.

TIMES--ITEMS--MITES--SMITE--EMITS.
