Letters and misadventures in a Minnesota town
A fragment from Peterson's Ladies Monthly follows Sydney Standish and her sister Sally as they exchange playful letters with a cousin named John. The plot twists into engagement, a visit promised from Mellville, and a humorous post office tale about a man who becomes P M M and faces gossip, divorces, and a chaotic mail day.

Tempting quarrel over twenty five counts ends in tea and misfortune
An anecdote from Maria Ann and Joshua at a saloon shows temper management by counting twenty five. The tale escalates to a teapot wielding confrontation and a cat brushed by hot tea as the couple argues. Also included is an account by Charles Turner, a survivor of the Quirk Sarah Sivane, detailing the wreck near St John NB with storm, wind, and rescue.
