A fractured reminiscence recalls the tale of a bear aiding a princess in a distant land. The story speaks of three great years and a lasting happy ending, with a hint the place and details remain uncertain but the moral persists.
An essay on prayer’s relief from scripture and public piety cites Jacob Jonah Peter and others, urging faith in prayer amid troubles. The piece shifts to a sprawling New Year meditation with poems, memory, and a century-long Centennial mood, ending with a dated Philadelphia obituary and social note about race in burial traditions.
A gentleman refuses a boy Ruby a penny for bread, prompting a moral moment. Ruby's brother Mike brings change for the starving garret family, and the tale shifts to Prince Valiant aided by bears as they rescue a princess from Giant Terrible in a forest castle.
Prince Valiant discovers a four bear family living in a cupola topped house in the forest. The bears stand on hind legs and the prince draws his sword when he sees the bedpost and the little bear repeating the big bear. The scene ends with the bears surprised by the stranger.
A defense of Christianity arguing that its truth is evident when examined as a whole. The speaker notes modern doubt misreads isolated arguments and insists multiple independent proofs unite to sustain faith. The passage uses vivid imagery of light and strength to convey cumulative evidence.
The article surveys 18th and 19th century Europe and the United States, naming leaders like Frederick the Great, Catherine II, Voltaire, Pitt, and Burke, then laments American literary quietude before Whitney’s cotton gin. It traces steam and telegraph progress, nation building, and the century ahead, predicting America’s global influence and industrial prowess.
A reflective verse passage laments the passing year and looks to the future with faith. It uses seasonal imagery from snow and spring to express gratitude, endurance, and trust in divine guidance, urging steadfast kindness and honesty as the new year arrives.
A historical account contrasts Chinese women with Japanese peers noting harsher traditions. It covers infanticide, foot binding, polygamy, domestic roles, dress, and social rules including the treatment of wives and widows within different classes.
