Fragmentary verse notes explore homes as centers of affection and rituals with shrines to the hearth. A distant shore and care for a far-off place appear in the lines, hinting at a nostalgic, lyrical meditation on belonging and tone.
A fragmentary religious essay warns youths against courting smiles and contempt for parental faith, linking such conduct to crime. It laments bereavement’s impact, urging deeper spiritual unity with departed loved ones and progress in virtue, then abruptly shifts to advise young ladies to stop light dress in the night air.
A Boston Ivy Branch teaching tale urges a cheerful heart and active kindness. A veteran, facing sorrow, explains happiness comes from freeing the heart to serve others, sharing in neighbors’ joys, and giving aid. It stresses affection in marriage and daily mercy, with parables, anecdotes, and reflective maxims.
An 19th century Harpers Magazine anecdote recalls Henry Clay’s tale about a Sandusky reader misquoting sine qua non during treaty talks, ending with “No Sine Gua Now.” Also recounts Jefferson Davis’s Memphis remarks about Graham, a Tiphar hunter’s sharp reply, and notes on Morse telegraph expansion and public musings on duty, endurance, and social costs.
A man called An Trishiitin working at the Jettibooe tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad last winter ignited powder with a firebrand, causing an explosion that wrecked a shanty. He slid 760 feet down the hill and survived with minor injuries, later escaping a shaft fall of 60 feet and another 30 feet, before a flood damaged the tunnel dam and rescuers pulled others from the bucket.
A grisly murder mystery unfolds as a body is discovered packed in a flour barrel washed ashore. Police link broken glass, weeds, and flour residue to a New Orleans grocery store where suspects Dartigues Desponey and others are arrested. A drayman Testimony ties Dartigues to the killing, implicating concealment and attempted erasure of evidence. The case also mentions related court suits and an engineer acquittal in a separate Virginia matter.
