A fragmented meditation on time and memory contrasts with a political attack on corruption and prohibition in Tennessee. The piece blends antique muse, mythic imagery, and a stark public-safety plea against liquor, punctuated by early 20th century ads for Green's August Flower and a general cures lineup.
Speech at a 1847 Springfield reunion extols labor over power, traces rulers and war as history’s framework, and lauds workingmen’s role in invention and civilization. It champions American labor, Judaism’s enduring contributions, and the ascent of free government through sustained industry and virtue.
A condensed look at Prank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine for November, noting essays on Vesta and the Vestals by Marc F Valotio and Sir Philip Sidney by Edmund Gorse with portraits and Rome views. It highlights long and short stories, poems, and articles, plus Hood’s Sarsaparilla ads and a Boston Traveler quote on endorsing it.
Fragmentary 19th century chat references Nina Van Zandt and Mr Spies, with claims of anarchist trials and potential freedom or reprieve. The text discusses Nina’s possible reunions in Chicago and marriage implications, noting Mr Spies as a brilliant, though impoverished, figure and touching on jail access and fate. The piece also advertises Dr King’s New Discovery and Electric Bitters from W D Hoyt & Co.
The notice offers prizes for essays answering Why should I use a Dictionary Holder, with Worcester and Webster dictionaries among the awards. It invites readers to send entries to La Verne W. Noys in Chicago or inquire at bookstores.
