A lyric lament recalls a vanished era of trust and romance, as a narrator longs for the resurrected hours of youth. The poem contrasts vivid nature and memories with the present hush, where a beloved Alice reappears only as a white-haired dream, then fades. The speaker laments fading music, breaking harp strings, and a guardian spirit’s silence.
A young minister's wife recalls a comical perilous drive in a vaudeville episode. A flashy buggy and a stubborn horse turn a routine ministerial call into a chaotic parade through Haytown, drawing amused glances from parishioners before a gracious new minister calmes the scene.

The column compiles a jumble of patent medicines like Colden's Liquid Beef Tonic and Rough on Coughs, touting instant relief for dyspepsia, kidney issues, and skin ailments, interspersed with old jokes about chestnuts and satirical quips. It also notes street scenes with remarks on horses, manners, and a Chinese laundry man as a colorful aside.
