S:lution of Puzzle.
Mr Editor?I submit the following
partial fuilution of the puzzle of-'Kiel*."
Darkness is 4,my whole,"und is referred
to in the first ei^lit and two lust lines.
In tlio 9th und lOtli line, tho letter a ?
'?one part"of (far/oir?*?bus n sharp, ac
ute or ,,turt"uecont in the word taste. In
tlio 11 ih and 12th lines, u greater part
of darkness, namely uarkt" (=Noah's
a< k) is refcrod to. In the next hix^ and
in the 22d and liucu. I suspcuL "the
letter '??" ulone in referred to, ua form
ing "ono pnrt"both of tktrknest and of
man, Jtoat, far', tiear, stars, pft'h, head,
loaf and bread. If I nm correct about
theae luKt, however, the occulted mean
ing does not become as perspicuous as it
should bo, on solution. In the 20ih
lino,"urt", a pari of da rkwsstt and k
being interchangeable, as is illustrated
in tbe work 'H*ikc*'itud its ubsolute form
"cato")is perhaps referred to. In the
Mhh. '/urk"^ eoimnon to darkness and
io f/mrkt, whUll arc sortie times lefl* bo
hind a wheel. In tho Inst line, darkness
? dies"or dwuppears the instant you
' know it"by being sensible of its autugo
nisi principle, 1ij?lit.
I sifhinit iheso hints, which I tldnk
point toward* the correct solution, for
iho consideration of your fair corresp Mi
dent' Doubtlem, her superior tiiet will
eoablo her to elucidate that which I have
been unable to make sufficiently clear ;
if. indeed, she does not perceive at ii
tfhu.ee that my su^gvations aio not worth
her attention.

and others whom un early death or nr
moval to the inviting fields of tho South
west took away from our observation or
memory. Mont of those gontlcmen had
tho udvantuge of Colleginto oducution,
wealth and its associations, travel, Ac.,
<Stc. Yet many of them had uot?woro
what aru culled "self mado muu," nod
Htill, as we recall thom tho differouoo was
scarcely peroeptible. Thuse whj> had
educated themselves, achieved their oWn
positions and fortunes, were, like their

There is always some difficulty in fix
ing tho period to which memory rendu*
as current or subsequent conversations,
accompanying or following ovonts, pro
iluco itiiproHWons on the aiinds of am
young often confused with the events
themselves, hut the test of tho unity
of time, plaeo and oiroumstanoes accom
panying will usually determino the
(jut s i ?n. By this test we know that we
remember the death of that most estima
ble eitiien, Mr. John Doby, in Septr.,
1826. By the samo test we determine
that our impressions of the grand page
ant of jjnfayette's reception, and tho
cercmoniee of laying the eorner stone of
DoKalb's monument in 1825, result
from the conversation of others, and so,
likowiso, as to the death and burial with
distinguished honors of Col. John K r
slinw, which as late as the 'yonr 1829,
leave an impression so vague ss surely
indicates (hat it is derived from oonver
sution, and though tho picture of the
pageant is iu our mind, time, place and
circumstances aro all wanting. But from
the year 1828 our impressions of those
gontlomen, generally and collectively, aro
very clear and decided. Political exoite
moot ran very high here, as throughout
the United States. It Was the aooond
great struggle for the Prasidency, be-'
