A reflective essay on childbirth, growing up, and Sunday family life. It contrasts the sweetness of infancy with the swift march of childhood to adulthood, noting the shifts in home rhythm, chores, and quiet after children depart. It ends with social critique of formal propriety and a plea for warmth in civic life.
A humorous narrative describes an attempted ice skate outing near Philadelphia with Dimity and other skaters. The narrator fails at learning to skate, falls repeatedly, crashes into others, and finally sells his brass-clad skates for four dollars, declaring skating a humbug. The piece shifts to a 1865 income tax overview, outlining new tax brackets, exemptions, and deductions for individuals, real estate, and corporate earnings.
The Mobile Advertiser reports a shift in Confederate sentiment toward peace terms including emancipation. It notes slaveholders’ readiness to sacrifice long-held views for reconciliation, while warning reconstruction would alter independence. Detroit’s special income tax draws outrage from real estate and business groups, with citizens in Cincinnati considering protests over return filings and potential tax errors.
A garbled notice lists D Pittock of Pittsburgh and a fictitious firm the Munen amen, claiming vast capital and exclusive rights on rivers and minerals. The piece mocks inflated claims of striking veins of Conlking Butter and other exotic products, lampooning sensational ads and political commentary amid a collage of names and incoherent details.
A Springfield Republic correspondent imagines a hypothetical life for an editor, detailing rural work, schooling, marriage to a well-off girl, large family, later farming and political aims. The piece contrasts bucolic labor with a literary career, ending with a quip about aging, cider, and markets, followed by a note on San Francisco population and growth.
The president writes to Eliza Garnes, a Quaker preacher, praising her faith and prayers. He reflects on the Civil War, divine will, and the Friends’ stance on oppression and conscience. He states he respects their principles while continuing to act within his official duties for the nation.
A wartime-era notice recalls Beall, a Virginia planter and leader of the Wakes pirates, hanged on Governor's Island after piracy, murder, and attempted escapes. It notes his Confederate service, wealth, and failed jailbreaks, plus a saner political commentary from the Mobile Register about morale and war prospects.
