51. Arithmorems.

This cla.s.s of riddle is of recent introduction. The Arithmorem is made by subst.i.tuting figures in a part of the word indicated, for Roman numerals. The nature of the riddle--from the Greek _arithmos_, number, and the Latin _remanere_, back again--will be easily seen from the following example, which is a double Arithmorem:

H 51 and _a tub_--a fine large fish.

A 100 and _gore_--a sprightly movement in music.

R 5 and _be_--a part of speech.

U 551 and _as and_--a Spanish province.

To 201 and _ran_--a stupefying drug.

R 102 and _nt_--an acid.

OU 250 and _pap_--a Mexican town.

The answer is Havanna--Tobacco.

_H_alibu_t_, _A_llegr_o_, _V_er_b_, _A_ndalusi_a_, _N_arcoti_c_, _N_itri_c_, _A_capulc_o_.

52. Charades

are compositions, poetical or otherwise, founded upon words, each syllable of which const.i.tutes a _noun_, the whole of each word const.i.tuting another noun of a somewhat different meaning from those supplied by its separate syllables. Words which fully answer these conditions are the best for the purposes of charades; though many other words are employed. In writing, the first syllable is termed "_My first_," the second syllable "_My second_," and the complete word "_My whole_." The following is an example of a Poetical Charade:

The breath of the morning is sweet; The earth is bespangled with flowers, And buds in a countless array Have ope'd at the touch of the showers.

The birds, whose glad voices are ever A music delightful to hear, Seem to welcome the joy of the morning, As the hour of the bridal draws near.

What is that which now steals on _my first_, Like a sound from the dreamland of love, And seems wand'ring the valleys among, That they may the nuptials approve?

'Tis a sound which _my second_ explains, And it comes from a sacred abode, And it merrily trills as the villagers throng To greet the fair bride on her road.

How meek is her dress, how befitting a bride So beautiful, spotless, and pure!

When she weareth _my second_, oh, long may it be Ere her heart shall a sorrow endure.

See the glittering gem that shines forth from her hair-- 'Tis _my whole_, which a good father gave; Twas worn by her mother with honour before-- But _she_ sleeps in peace in her grave.

Twas her earnest request, as she bade them adieu, That when her dear daughter the altar drew near, She should wear the same gem that her mother had worn When she as a bride full of promise stood there.

The answer is _Ear-ring_. The bells _ring_, the sound steals upon the _ear_, and the bride wears an _ear ring_. Charades may be sentimental or humorous, in poetry or prose; they may also be _acted_, in which manner they afford considerable amus.e.m.e.nt.

53. Charades (Acted).

A drawing room with folded doors is the best for the purpose. Various household appliances are employed to fit up something like a stage, and to supply the fitting scenes. Characters dressed in costumes made up of handkerchiefs, coats, shawls, table-covers, &c., come on and perform an extempore play, founded upon the parts of a word, and its _whole_, as indicated already. For instance, the events explained in the poem given might be _acted_--gla.s.ses might be rung for bells--something might be said in the course of the dialogues about the sound of the bells being delightful to the _ear_; there might be a dance of the villagers, in which a _ring_ might be formed; a wedding might be performed, and so on: but for _acting charades_ there are many better words, because _Ear-ring_ could with difficulty be _represented_ without at once betraying the meaning. There is a little work ent.i.tled "Philosophy and Mirth united by Pen and Pencil," and another work, "Our Charades; and How we Played Them," [1] by Jean Francis, which supply a large number of these Charades. But the following is the most extensive list of words ever published upon which Charades may be founded:

[Note: hyphen added to Art less, Bar rack]

[Footnote 1: "Philosophy and Mirth, united by Pen and Pencil," One Shilling.

"Our Charades; and How we played Them," by Jean Francis, One Shilling.

Both published by Houlston and Sons, Paternoster Square, London, EC.]
