their prayers and join in their praise;
I'm never in liquor--but once in the year,
Then with statesmen and gamblers and rakes I appear;
I'm not in this world, I'm not in the next,
But in the old saying, "between and betwixt;"
I mount with the atmosphere, taking the lead;
I visit the grave and am found with the dead;
I'm ancient as Noah, was first in the ark;
Unseen in the light, yet, I shine in the dark;
I shall last with the earth, with nature and man,
I was sketched with the draft and was found in the plan;
When nature and earth from existence are driven,
The angels will guard me eternal in heaven.

No. 11. CHARADE.

Nothing purer than the _first_ was ever seen,
Or more lovely, colder, brighter, e'er I ween;
If you make a _second_ of me, surely then
With practice you might hit a dozen men;
Lo! _total_, with its leaves of darkest green,
In some gardens, in summer, may be seen.
