A fragmented war poem recounts a dying volunteer far from home in New England. A son pleads with mother and remembers his country’s call, while voices of kin and remembrance mix with grief and duty as the banner’s fate looms and sacrifice is urged.
In a rain soaked hospital ward Allan Revere longs for escape and to win Becky Vane while wartime strain tests courage. A nurse from Vermont and a Yankee officer clash with duty and desire as the war shadows loom over love and loss.
A long, fragmentary antiquated health advice piece warns readers to wash sources, avoid tobacco, moderate alcohol, limit meals, and aired beds. It blends humorous anecdotes on printers errors, military canards, and food rules with reflections on health, climate, and cautionary notes about a surgeon’s or preacher’s misprints.
A sharp Senate debate pits Mr. Fessenden against Mr. Williams of Minnesota over the reduction and pay of a Minnesota regiment’s officers. They spar about who should refer the bill, the regiment’s service, and whether to fund soldiers fairly, with dispute over a proposed $400 salary for the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and who originated the bill.
A fragmented account describes a political scene with Senatorial remarks about the West, a portrait of wealth and charity, and a reflection on a man who died alone with vast wealth. It cites figures like Mr Wilkinson and Fessenden, and mentions a hospital founded from his estate. The piece also touches on sympathy, commerce, and a soda product advertised at 113 Liberty Street, New York.
