Poem fragment laments a missing lover in a battlefield grave scene. The speaker bids the wind stir long grasses and awaken echoes of a soldier’s parting prayer, honoring sacrifices made for freedom.
A skeptical era piece recounts a powerful maternal sixth sense guiding a mother to safeguard her sleeping infant. A divide between romance and social advice appears as two West Virginia maidens resolve a love dispute with fists, then a long letter of ardent affection and flowery similes follows.
A compact set of sayings contrasts the value of a wife at home with a visit to her mother. It notes love’s blindness, especially when a girl is both rich and unattractive, and treats the theme with a humorous moral tone.
A humorous railcar vignette recounts a loud cowboy who refuses to surrender his revolver, treats the porter with swagger, and antagonizes the conductor. He commands respect, negotiates space, and finally settles to sleep as the train wheels murmur along.
A terse excerpt depicts Eulalia and Tdith discussing De Lich and a bare mention of a modern novel scene. The passage shifts to a dramatic line about a man saving time by wasting it on calculations and a snuff taker blowing his nose over forty years.
Farmers increasingly make their own fertilizers from crude materials to cut costs and improve results. Discussions note many commercial blends underperform, with some farmers reporting no benefit after buying tons of fertilizer. Bone phosphate, sulphate of ammonia, and muriate of potash offer affordable building blocks, while Connecticut super-phosphates have shown large price markups.
A Christian woman working with the poor justifies her ministry by asking if Jesus would shun the degraded, arguing Christians are for reaching out to such people. A poor listener declares that is precisely what Christians are for, silencing the critic.
A distinguished clergyman explains genuine etiquette over a dinner with a friend who uses a knife instead of a fork. He stops the young onlookers from laughing and continues dining with a knife aloud. He says kindness to the old friend matters more than strict manners, a model of considerate behavior.
A businesslike passenger voices support for Prohibition, saying it would benefit every state and his business of manufacturing pint and half-pint flasks. A witty couplet follows about their daughter Clara's entrance and a quip on sweeping into a room versus sweeping out a room.
