An aged verse recalls a cherished infant, the wee White Rose, with imagery of fragrance and life. The poem shifts from bright bloom to sorrow as the infant’s grave is mentioned and an angelic vigil is implied. It frames the child’s brief life within a world of imagined fairy towns and eternal memories.
The piece argues workers endure hard toil for love not money. It extols husbands and wives laboring happily for one another, saying love motivates and rewards effort, enabling feats others deem impossible and sustaining endurance through daily tasks.
A hermit sees an old man reel under a heavy load of wood, a parable on delaying repentance. The angel explains that delaying repentance only makes the burden heavier until death. A Portsmouth funeral note records a forty two year old woman attending her eighth husband’s funeral on the thirteenth of the month.
A broad excursion through social double standards and political intrigue. The piece contrasts male libertine behavior with female shaming, then recounts Gov Letcher’s 1862 discussion with Gen Jackson about Calhoun and nullification, concluding with naval, Cuban invasion, and Mississippi tax notes.
A vivid early era piece contrasts leper misery near Jerusalem with a radiant young girl, a cruel social stigma, and a plea for charity. The second fragment recounts a humorous Erie misadventure with black strap made from molasses and rum, ending in a doctor’s laugh at mistaken ingredients. It closes with Amphrey Davis’s conviction for murder in St Louis and notes a fast life ending in decline.
Community notes a discussion among local growers about selecting fruit that adapts to our climate and trees to protect orchards from winter frost. Contributors compare varieties such as York Stripe and Smiths Cider, consider timing of harvest, and urge testing by grafting and committee review.
