A fragmented verse describes devotion to books and a homeward path. The speaker laments missing voices and the absence of a beloved companion, hinting at sleepless, moonlit hours and a longing that unsettles routine. The text evokes nostalgia for a shared space and familiar names as a comfort against isolation.
A posse in a frontier settlement learns a $500 reward has been posted for the arrest of Rube White. Frank Crandall and Ti Lansing pursue the fugitive through snow, catch him after a gunfight, and Crandall tends the wounded man through a grim night, wrestling with remorse and duty.
A farmer on a hillside explains he plows to bedrock with a horse and covers seventy acres. He dismisses the idea of swapping the farm for a horse and wife, noting locals can’t afford taxes. The narrator departs after a brief exchange.
Retired Boston sea captain Henry Cooper recalls a 1850s voyage from Havana to Good Hope that veered to Congo for enslaved cargo. A masked first mate, armed deck weapons, and a gift of 250 to Cooper. Then notes on the Bornean mandau blade, a courtroom cry for silence, and aphoristic religious maxims urging virtue, charity, and reconciliation.
A summary of Professor Blackies reminiscences on youth and guiding rules for success. Emphasizes truth over show, work as nobility, love as fulfillment, balance of forces, and doing one thing well without delay or partial effort.
In April 1764 The Gospel Magazine printed a hymn titled Shame of Jesus Conquered by Love by a ten year old Joseph Grigg who later became copastor of the Presbyterian church in Silver Street, London. The piece, altered by Benjamin Francis, laments shame for not cherishing Jesus and recalls personal faith and salvation. The writeup also recalls a church scene where Spurgeon’s father, at eighty two, attended a Pastors' college meeting in London, and the assembly sang Abide with me as he prayed for his son and widow, reflecting on bereavement and trust in God.
