A poem recalls fickle April weather and a morning with birds singing praise. The speaker notes warm sun and blossoms, then snow on the river, yet remains grateful to God. The verse ends with a prayer to continue praising and loving the divine in all seasons.
Genevieve Steele, steadfast and independent, resists Aunt Juliet’s social matchmaking at Long Branch, rebukes Lance Fielding’s advances, and chooses a life of self-reliance with her mother. After harsh trials and moral resolve, Lance returns, wins her love, and they marry, beginning a modest life together with both mothers’ blessings.
A critique argues that character shapes art and its value. Poe is cited as example of weak will and vanity, Byron as greater but with vice, and Bryant to Lowell praised for moral character. The piece insists artists cannot lift work without personal virtue and questions separating art from its maker. It notes public figures and moral influence, citing Jenny Lindsay as a counterexample of virtue guiding talent.
A comic medical society drama portrays clashes between Allopath and Homeopath camps over a dying patient at Beaconsfield. Dr. Pomponius Pills and Dr. Infinitesimal Powders clash as a nurse, a police judge, and a patient debate ethics and malpractice. The verdict condemns both doctors for criminal negligence with fines matching their fees and six months in the workhouse.
A jumble of odd couplets and epigrams about vanity, feigned faults, and a peach eating quip. The Hartford Times note jokes about peaches eaten as brandy. Anatrain snippets mingle with a garbled American-France news paragraph and a mock Spring poem.
