A brief verse noting quiet mornings as creation rests until dawn. It attributes care for man and beast to a watchful power that never sleeps.
Translated tale portrays Frederick the Great as eccentric and whimsical, chasing giants and pairing them with giant women. A giant potato-digging woman of seven to eight feet entertains the king, who teases her, flirts, and hands her a note and ring to pass to a Potsdam guard with a sly instruction.
A king orders the tallest soldier to wed an eight foot giantess after a note and ring pass between them. The ceremony proceeds, the groom becomes drunk, and the new wife is permitted to dig potatoes while the king realizes his limits.
A fragmentary verse invokes spring by imagery of budding boughs and singing binds. Candied flowers raise their heads as greetings to the season’s arrival. The tone echoes a ceremonial or celebratory spring homage.
The article surveys infancy and adulthood ages across many jurisdictions. It cites Roman, English, Scottish, French Napoleonic, United States, Swiss, Hungarian, Canadian, and other systems, noting ages for marriage, wills, contracts, guardianship, and suffrage, with varying first openness at ages 12 to 25 and franchise from 18 to 30.
A compact Bill Nye quip presents the newspaper as a universal record of mankind and world events. It frames the paper as containing knowledge, poetry, prophecy, obituaries, romance, history, and guidance for three cents, capturing magnanimity and meanness alike.
A fragmentary collection of puns and witticisms about everyday items and scenes. The lines joke with wordplay on foot pads and corn plasters, a tramp, a maiden, a tea, ice, Cain, green garments, a dinner bell, death, and a playful dinner check. It closes with a quip about phrases and three loves.
