A fragmented poem about a figure who mocks the world in verse and rhyme. It speculates on a merry Valentine maker, possibly a high rising building and bells, then shifts to a life of toil and poverty and a lover's rejection before the speaker recalls the date and paper.
In a small village, Miss Gray's room hosts a Valentine party with a makeshift post office, a program, and visiting mothers. Rastus Brown eyes a Valentine for Miss Gray, while Mammy and Caesar the donkey watch, and Rastus faces disappointment as he and Mammy depart in a snowy evening after the ceremony.
A reflective tribute arguing Abraham Lincoln surpasses Washington in lasting public virtue. The essay portrays Lincoln as a man of the people and of all time, rooted in American frontier heritage and democratic ideals, whose deeds saved the nation. Washington is acknowledged, but Lincoln’s humanity and timeless relevance are elevated.
In a snowy town, Miss Gray rallies classmates to mend a slight toward Rastus. They present a sealed mystery box containing school supplies and a slate with A Valentine, hoping to lift his spirits and show care.
A portrayal of Abraham Lincoln emphasizing his rise from poverty to mastery of language and public life. The tribute notes his humor, melancholy, religious sense, and patient study, recalling Goldwin Smith’s characterization of a leader shaped by hardship and fate.
D. W. Voorhees recalls Lincoln lacking a booming laugh and recounts how he would pace the room with one hand on his back and the other ruffling his hair to elicit laughter after hearing or telling a story.
In this speech Dr. Talmage urges thanksgiving through ten "strings" of gratitude inspired by a biblical harp. He urges thankfulness for sight, hearing, sleep, mobility, nights, reason, friendship, moral gospel, and heavenly hope, urging readers to praise God with all ten strings.
A fragmentary note recalls a boast about a sewing circle and a quip about a former manager’s pay. The exchange hints at social circles and a witty reply about a manager’s salary, reflecting light gossip tone.
