Poetic lament describes deep sea imagery and a lost beloved. The speaker recalls a precious jewel and a child asleep, expressing sorrow as waves crash ashore and the heart seeks peace beneath lilies. The verse ends with a pledge to meet beyond death.
A tale near a coal mine centers on Little Aunt Madge a small woman with a big heart who risks her life to save Paul Vail and Arthur during a dangerous descent. The story recalls her late husband John and the two boys lost in a mine accident while miners finally recover the boys from the depths.
A reflective piece from Misa Barber's Weekly on an old cradle found in a lumber room. It recalls joyful baby mornings, the cradle’s deterioration, and the stark transition to adulthood with soldiers, aging, and mortality. It muses on childhood happiness, virtue, and the intellects of middle age.
In Choluteca Honduras a cave in Virtud hosts a natural curiosity named the Fountain of Blood. A steady stream of liquid bleeds color into a nearby brook, forming coagulated pools on the floor. The liquid tastes and smells like blood and soon decays into an effusive odor. No analysis has been completed and theories abound.
The piece describes railroad signals used by trains and a vivid Civil War vignette near Flint River. It recounts a cavalry fight, a battery position silencing guns, and a cabin hospital impression where a newborn was christened Shell Anna with a chaplain and witnesses including a brigadier general.
Five explorers along the Colorado river report an immense pyramid buried in sand. The stone blocks measure from eighteen inches to nearly three feet thick with a fifty by fifty foot top. Its height and length suggest a grand, finished structure unlike Egyptian pyramids.
A quotation attributed to Dr Arnold denounces the idea that progress demands unchecked business preservation. It argues that clinging to existing systems harms individuals, schools, and nations by stifling true reform and natural advancement.
A blurred moral pondering on moderating desires and reason to avoid spiritual error. The piece comments that stoutness is not a crime, mocks fat criminals, and notes corpulency can reflect goodwill rather than vice, with digressions about keys and alarmed runaways.
