A dramatic tale of Marie, a poor actor's daughter, who seeks work in the theater while nursing her sick father. She finds an advocate among theater ladies, funds a better future, and unknowingly both earns and repays family hardship through her staged debut. A parallel article offers reflections on credit and ambition, urging frugality, punctuality, and humble labor.
A garbled mix of childlike verses about sewing garments for a doll and wanting visits to grandma, paired with snippets of humorous rural anecdotes. The prose turns into a reflection on how writers adorn common scenes with floral phrasing, closing with a comic tale of milking a cow and misadventures with a bucket and wagon.
A meditation on hair keepsakes from the dead, the ache of memory, and the idea that love endures beyond death. The piece weaves personal longing with a widow's memory and ends with a stark statistic on U.S. cigar consumption and import duties.
Flood waters washed soil from ten to fifteen acres along the Tennessee river in Blount county near Louisville. Skeletons of infants children and adults lay exposed across the ground, counted by Mr. Prater at over a thousand forms. Some bones were brought to Chattanooga on the steamer City of Knoxville and shown by witnesses. A buried ground perhaps centuries old is suggested by the find, not in a mound but in denuded earth.
A large man named Brother Glover, known for a booming but unruly singing voice, funded five hundred dollars for church repairs and audibly disrupted a new dedicatory hymn until the preacher yielded. The episode prompted reflections from Rev. Dr. Deems comparing cherished figures and a digression on old England laws about women in matrimony.
