Charades

1st  My first's an amusement, my second's an habitation; my third a place of entertainment.

2nd  My first though no hammock, yet sailors admire, 
My second to reach is most poeple's desire;
In my whole is oft found, what in riches is rare,
For you meet with contentment and hearts free from care.

3rd  My first's of small value; my second is never, dark, my whole is very useful in darkness.

4th  You cannot do wrong if you are my first, in your dealings; my second is slippery and dangerous; and my whole is oft difficult to obtain.

5th  There's hardly a person but asks for my first, 
And my second's of use from the worst to the best;
My third is a mixture of falsehood and truth,
A companion much fitter for age than for youth.

6th  From my first you gain knowledge, my second you tell, your lawyer, in my third you part my first.

7th  My first is not whole; my second is part of a house and my whole is a dilierious bird.
