A speaker challenges a skeptic who rejects legends of liberty and heroism. The poet argues that myths like William Tell and Winkelreid inspire courage, while the skeptic reduces them to fiction, dismissing Isaiah and prophetic figures as mere myths. The dialogue laments a Gradgrind mindset opposed to noble tales.
Robert J Burdette narrates a grand ascent in Switzerland with humor about banks and brains and a wary view of money. He notes Swiss arbitration praised and a moonlit October scene of Alpine gardens and mosquitoes from the Gotthard tunnel era.
A narrator, aging and self-deprecating, recalls joining friends on a lighthearted mountaineering outing. He jokes about appearance and fitness, describes the excursion with a Madame companion, and notes panoramic views and the thrill of the ascent. The scene emphasizes wit over rigor.
A vivid tale from Youth's Companion about Sir George Grey engaging with schoolchildren at South Kensington's Natural History Museum. He narrates a curious incident involving a specimen he sent from Australia and the joking claim that he killed it. The moment ends with the boys' delighted applause and a memorable afternoon.
A plain tale from Philadelphia recounts Ozy B. Orr and his mortgage crisis. A Texas-like gobbler funds his debts with a dancing fiddle show that draws crowds and pays off the loan, while son Bill's failures loom over the farm.
A fragmented note references Willie and Tommy James involved in an alleged incident with an apple. The Philadelphia Inquirer is cited, but details and context are unclear from the text.
