A verse recalling the vanished era of youth and virtue. The speaker laments lost simplicity, praises “good old girls” and “good old boys,” and nostalgically imagines a purer past with faith, farming life, schooling, and neighborhood ties.
A woman recalls a once close friendship that soured as her former companion marries another. She retrieves reminders from a desk drawer, destroys memories, and discovers a Latin note he wrote asking her to meet, revealing unfinished affection from the past.
A curious wartime anecdote about General Gallifet, then aide to Napoleon III, fishing in the imperial pond at St. Cloud. He hooks a carp that causes chaos, toppled globe and vase, then hid the fish under the bed clothes as the Emperor discovers the scene and reacts with a sly smile. Also a brief note on Charles Francis Felu, the armless Belgian artist who shaved daily using his feet and described early life with mobility and painting.
In a Philadelphia Item excerpt, a woman rereads a long-forgotten letter and discovers a confession of love. She grapples with trust and the dying language of a past romance as tears flow and the lexicon falls away.
A Philadelphia stationer offers a beggar two lead pencils and claims they can be sold for five cents each. The beggar challenges the deal and, proving a point about keeping promises, collects ten cents from the claim. The stationer plans to change tactics after the stunt.
Dr Talmage themes the elder brother as the self righteous critic of the prodigal. He contrasts the two sons and condemns envy and pouting faith while praising the father’s forgiving embrace and mercy for returnees to the home. The sermon urges reconciliation and welcomes repentant sinners.
A compilation of brief sermon themes and guiding maxims from various Christian denominations. Notables include Rev. Utter of Denver on publicity as a social safeguard and Rev. Perry of Troy on belief in future life, alongside thoughts on kindness, self governance, temptation, and the relation of press to pulpit.
