302.
My first you are when over the ground
You lightly trip to the river’s bank,
Where my second may always be found;
Beware my whole, ’tis cold and dank.
And fatal, too, to many a one
Who will not its danger carefully shun.
303.
I am composed of 13 letters:
My 9, 10, 7, 1 was a good man.
My 4, 5, 13, 2, 8 is an unhappy wretch.
My 11, 12, 3, 6 is an adjective.
My whole is an extraordinary tale.
CHARADE.
304.
My first in cities is well known
And by me many live,
Obtain their freedom in the town,
And then a vote can give;
My second we can never see,
Whether on the land or sea;
My whole the sailor often braves,
When he plows the briny waves.
305. Why may muslin and flour be considered safe articles in market?
306. Of what trade are we when we walk in the snow?
307. Take away the bees from something we frequently eat, and make it read and speak.
308. An animal before a mountain, with the right kind of article, makes a tree.
309. Transpose some animals into a salutation.
310.
Why strains my first his wearied sight,
Across the silent main,
And loiters on the lonely beach?
He looks, alas! in vain.
For the chilly hand of Death has passed
My second’s stately side,
And its gallant crew are sunk beneath
The ocean’s briny tide.
Though time may pass with silent step,
And years go quickly by,
Yet My whole shall feed the vital flame
And its power shall never die.
311. Entire, I am a companion; beheaded, a verb; replace my head, curtail me, and I am found in nearly every house; curtail again, I am a nickname; reversed, a verb.
312. My first is “for;” my second and fourth are pronouns; my third is an article; my whole is a god.
