A fragment from a 19th century newspaper poem depicts a wife urging her intoxicated husband to stay, invoking storm imagery and family memory. She pleads to avoid ruin, recalls father and mother, and asks him to listen to Nina sing and break bonds. The voice shifts to maternal reminiscence and a prayer for dear papa as emotions surge.
A fragmentary miscellany includes a 13 year old girl's death with a dying plea Lift me higher and religious reflections on heaven. The piece is followed by satirical notes from an Alabama Argus editor about a sheriff sale and political criticisms of Andrew Johnson Butler Ashley Brownlow and Radical party leaders.
A long 19th century tale follows Theresa Scholler, who rescues her condemned brother Bernard Scholler after he is wrongly accused in Riga. She pursues petitions to authorities, exploits an audience with the Emperor, secures a pardon, and travels to Siberia to free him, only to witness the brutal exile and reunite in a dramatic rescue at last. The piece mixes dramatic narrative with moral edicts on domestic life and enterprise.
A jumbled collection of jokes and anecdotes from a Bowling Green paper, including quips about hens laying last year's eggs, a quarrelsome physician and a witty Irishman, editor humor about disasters and a medical gazette proposing gas from graveside remains, with moral musings on death and satire. The tone mimics a late 19th century issue of light humor and oddities.
