A brittle verse asks what true love requires and when passion becomes real enduring love. The speaker warns that without deep feeling and faithful imagination love cannot endure, ending with a wary refrain on calling it love.
The American Bible Society marks seventy five years of work with gratitude and a look ahead. It notes financial pressures, shifts in denominational support, and calls for modernized methods while preserving core principles. The piece outlines a path to lead in mission, including printed concordances and updated materials, and cites Dr. A. T. Pierson on charitable giving patterns.
A meditation on divine timing and preparation, noting that God may delay blessings to fit us for receiving them. It contrasts eager petitions with patient endurance, and humorously references a theater seat choice and a shopkeeper’s silk pitch. The excerpt also warns against poor animal care, urging exercise to prevent hoof deformities.
Dr C C Abbott tested Baltimore orioles by placing yarn of five colors near their nest tree. The dull colors gray and purple were used, while bright red and yellow were avoided. Branch girdling caused leaves to shrivel yet the birds fed their young until fledging.
Judge Glenni W Scofield befriended Lincoln and sought a pardon for a Warren county private who had knocked down his captain. Lincoln joked that only Congress could authorize such an act, after which the judge and the president laughed and the case ended. A humorous memory and a separate quip about Columbus conclude the item.
A quirky exchange notes Briggs’s laziness perception and McCrackle’s view that working between meals is unhealthy, highlighting humorous dialogue about work habits.
The report notes six noted trich farms in California and rapid growth of sheep husbandry in South Dakota. Iowa leads in mutton breeds like Downs, with rising sheep numbers and quality. Wyoming emphasizes Jersey and Holstein dairy cattle, while Durum and Hereford are favored for beef.
A traveler questions why railroads charge different fares for identical mileage on the same route. He cites examples from New York to a limited train at twenty dollars versus twenty three dollars for the return, and a Chicago to Rochester ticket costing more when traveling from Rochester to the point versus Chicago to that point. He asks railroad men for explanations and notes a ticket agent declined to explain the company’s rules.
A compilation of curious asides and snippets: Corot’s indifference to politics as he paints nymphs, Saturn’s day origins, prison temperature linked crime claims, tiny money spiders, mockingbirds’ migrations, Whittier’s retirement and wealth, and Pittsburg district oil output with market value figures.
