A fragment recalls Metta, a drowned child, and a loyal cat, then shifts to a childlike tale of a squirrel, a kind Mary, and a family scene with a new cat named Emily. The text then reviews periodicals and literary notes from Harpers Monthly to Appletons and Gardeners Monthly.
A fragment describes a fourteen year old lad tithed to a soap dealer. He read an hour daily using a timepiece left by his uncle and rode a horse. He stayed seven years and, it is said, learned as much as a young person named Bre did. The passage then muses on the value of daily reading and the accumulation of useful knowledge over time.
