A reflective poem about Grandmother Grey recalling a past love, Robin, who died before she married Farmer Grey. She longs to join him after a long life of fidelity, memory guiding her from present twilight to a final resting moment with the angels. The verses mix rural imagery of cows, pastures, and a wedding memory.
A fragmentary poem attributed to Walt Whitman echoes personal grievance after losing a government clerkship. The speaker vents anger and despair at retrenchment, scarce pay, and cold worldly conditions, invoking a sense of public and personal betrayal.
A New York Sun profile recounts the Beecher residence at 124 Columbia Heights Brooklyn with a cluttered parlor and an active study. It complements a long crime narrative where Detective Whitmire tracks a murder linked to Henry Collins and a forged newspaper clue leading to a dramatic arrest at a hotel and court conviction.
