A reflective poem by George W. Parsons from the Salem Gazette contemplates friendship, mortality, and renewal. It exhorts steadfastness, invokes nature and God, and echoes the golden rule as life’s brief span ends in hopeful transcendence.
A Chicago Times critique rails at the selfish man who shops life for ease while others suffer. The piece imagines his comforts, neglect of aiding others, and a moral that warns he wears a harsh iron crown by will alone. It contrasts with a fighting dog remembrance and a call to ventilate schoolhouses.
A drummer telling a country merchant how he can supply nickel movements and gilt cases for a country store. He offers seventy five cent cases and movements, planning to sell a dollar watch with a small profit, fitting his trade in a jeweler's context.
A collection of anecdotes portrays Prince Henry as an admired naval figure famed for bravery and humor. Stories recount his dives to the Jacob’s ladder in rough seas and a playful rigging dash with a thaler, illustrating his devotion to duty and spirited leadership. A separate note highlights Zachariah P. Hardigree, a Georgia Confederate veteran and preacher, who never fired a gun yet endured battlefield rounds and served as a farmer and pastor. A columnist recalls old Arkansas biscuits dated 1823, noting their metallic ring and family memory.
A quirky fragment from Texas Siftings notes superstition and a joke about eating biscuits. It mentions a Taft hunter and a French paper about the Li mousin family displaying a white tuft of hair at about age 20, a trait linked to their ancestors. The Orini family of Italy is also cited for a similar hair tuft phenomenon.
