A mosaic of antique essay snippets contrasts thrift with vanity. It riffs on paying as you go, manly courage, and social manners, interleaving reflections on charity and virtue with quips about flirtation, death, and memory. The piece closes touching on forgiveness, gratitude, and the moral balance in human conduct.
A humorous tale portrays Old Boge, a wealthy miser, nearing death. As his end approaches, a barber’s fee prompts a final twist of fate and a quip about saving money as he dies.
A Prussian journal recounts a tale of a generous community offering a rabbi a tun of wine but yielding only water in the end, as each contributor poured water thinking it unnoticeable amid wine. A child’s table plea, a Paris double death by drowning, and jokes on publishers, invention patent stakes, and Irish court humor fill this miscellany of satirical snippets and brief notices.
A February 1861 reminiscence recalls meeting John W Geary then a farmer, his Douglas Democrat stance, and Lincoln’s election. It notes Geary’s wartime resolve and a son’s death, crediting his example for Democratic unity. The piece also surveys Southern prejudice, Meade's orders, immigrant arrivals, and various 1861 items from New York to New Jersey, including gold discoveries and a two headed birth report.
