Washington and his Mother and other childlike tales
A Victorian style piece recounts George Washington postponing a midshipman life to spare his mother tears, with a moral on honoring parents. It then describes boys guiding a drunken sailor to sobriety through a temperance pledge, and mentions a Troy Ohio teen who drowned, plus extended sketches on a Scottish Sunday, a Neapolitan monk’s sermon, and a humor vignette about a Journal of Commerce editor.
