Pluck and Energy Triumph at Washington Carnival Life
A long piece extols carnival days in New Orleans with royal procession and royal lands at Canal Street led by the king of the carnival and Comus and the Krewe of Proteus parade. It shifts to Washington where Capitol messengers, mostly youths, grow from clerical positions to private employments, showing diligence, fate, and civil service aims. It includes vivid portraits of varied boys, from industrious to indolent, and a tale of a southwestern migrant who rises through exams to a classified civil service post. It closes with reflections on daily Christian life and prayer guiding personal and family betterment.

Where the hammock lightly swung by the old house
A reminiscence poem by C. Conway Baker from Montross Virginia recalls a long vanished white antebellum home in Whitehall with the hammock swinging in the yard. The speaker remembers vows of love under trees, stars, and moonlight, and the scent of mown hay while lamenting that the scene is now dark and neglected. The piece closes with the speaker cherishing memories as a sacred connection to a past romance.
