A Scottish ballad laments love divided by a gulf between youth and age. The speaker recalls a true-hearted lass and a duplicitous lord while arguing that happiness eludes those torn by the age gap. The refrain asserts that youth and age can never agree. The piece names Alex and Sutherland as figures in the tale.
A clerk in Treasury and a post office worker with modest salaries enjoy outings to Mount Vernon and theater tickets, while neighbors tease a romance with Miss Wildreth. They dream of luxury but fear poverty, arguing marriage may ruin their simple happiness and debating a future with or without each other.
Theodore Van Vieck recalls a tangled social web surrounding Miss Helen Hildreth and Mr. Sterling, tracing their pasts from a Washington post office to a Mount Vernon boat meeting. Helen’s marriage plans shift, Sterling’s death alters fates, and an awkward reunion at sea rekindles old tensions as Van Vieck faces the consequences of desire, ambition, and memory.
Professor C V Riley in the Journal New Yorker urges annual burning of meadows prairies or stubble fields to prevent army worm outbreaks. He notes that burning destroys the previous year's stalks and the moths prefer new growth, making burning in winter or spring an effective preventive measure.
A countryman visits a shop where Troffenstein extols blue dermometer pants for farmers. He claims the pants forecast weather, help crops, and never fail. The farmer challenges the claim, tests the cloth, and questions the product’s practicality amid the odd salesman’s tale.
A Southern young woman with a California physician lover endures his fortune loss. He writes her openly about his reverses, she sends a gold ring engraved with a Bible vow, and fortune later returns as they marry. The tale closes with a moral urging biblical devotion for young Indies.
A faded item stacks odd sayings and local jests. A Milwaukee inventor touts water as fuel while a derisive exchange mentions Nihilists and a Czar-chasm. An old proverb warns modesty, and a farmer returns home soaked, muttering about a mugey day.
A historical ad style admonishes retailers to stop advertising only when the market collapses and rivals outperform them. It warns that ceasing ads ends growth and invites closure, urging continuous, low cost outreach to keep customers and beat newcomers in the same business.
