Fragment from a reminiscence about the home of childhood in Fear Wasinara Indian Territory. The piece laments how the beloved house, mother, father, and siblings once filled with warmth have changed, leaving a cloud over cherished memories.
Poem-like lines describe March winds and seasonal change. References to spring imagery include birds, violets, daisies, and melting snow. The verse frames March as a preface to summer, with visions of hills, tides, and renewed life.
The piece lingers on married friction as Mrs. Purple complains of endless tasks while Mr. Purple seeks escape. It argues domestic friction stems from neglect of home keeping and sketches parallel to biblical quiet at Mamre. The tone mirrors a moralizing Sunday feature urging steadier home life.
The piece extols home as the center of happiness and sympathy, urging wives to foster a cheerful domestic sphere to shield men from harsh outside temptations. It warns against overbearing instruction and promotes calm resilience, disputing calumny and poverty with steady action and faith. A San Francisco anecdote at Bank Exchange contrasts polished hospitality with a sharp barroom repayment. A tale from Astoria about a clever dog at Tillamook Beach ends with a flea‑ridden cotton marvel.
A humorous piece begins with mock dictionary entries for kissing slang and then moves to a pair of wartime anecdotes. A French horseman misstates time to a general, claiming he can "bring Nashville time" exactly, while an Irishman jokes that a stone coffin would outlast any man, reflecting lighthearted regional humor.
A long satirical piece explores life at coastal resorts with women in full dress in opera boxes and hotel dining rooms. It recalls a Newport tea table incident where a fashionable wife’s bold rebuke over a butter knife leads to a public embarrassment and a later fig leaf gesture. The writing moves through social pretensions, gossip, and cross currents of class and manners.
The Union Republican press across the Commonwealth unanimously approves Gen Geary as Governor nominee predicting broad support and the largest state vote yet for a candidate. The piece cites mass ratification meetings and widespread endorsement, asserting Lincoln 1864 voters will back Geary in October 1856. It also intertwines snippets on Lord Erskine and various other notices.
