Come here, my _second_--lose no time; _First_ lively, don't procrastinate; Although, my _all_, I'll spare no pains To render you less obdurate.

My _all_! Yet truly as a _last_ I've learned to look upon my boy: Most true it is, 'tis but a _one_ From sad distrust to life of joy!

_First_ dame, indeed, I would not be Held in my _second's_ inmost thought; Trans.m.u.ted by love's magic power, My _all_ my _last_ is, without doubt.

NO. 9. NUMERICAL.

The _whole_ is a thing that drives away harm, Defined by dear Webster as "a charm;"

My 5, 6, 2, 3, 3 is by the same called "not much;"

My 6, 7, 8, a "va.s.sal," "subject," "person," or such: My 5, 2, 3, 1 is "taste," "savor," or "a sailor;"

My 1, 2, 4, 3 of a coat is oft shortened by a tailor.

Now I think you have all you require to solve this numerical; If not, I will tell you the _whole_ relates to nothing clerical.
