A rustic poem in the style of a rural hymn, describing summer winds over pastures and clover while villagers and farm life observe weather, livestock, and hopeful prophecy. It invokes providence, nature, and daily toil as it laments rain yet predicts a bountiful harvest if faith endures. The piece reflects a frontier journal voice and agrarian sentiment.
Andy and Pop plot revenge after stealing clothes from two deacons, burying the loot near a river island. Their lie leads to a night of mistaken bravado, a public shaming, and a sharp comeuppance at Miss Faithful Sharpe’s home, exposing their plot.
A hashed tale recounts a woman who laced corn with arsenic to kill neighbor’s hens. After three birds died, she faced a pile of feathers and pretended concern, later buying the birds back from the neighbor to avoid guilt. The piece weaves in broader notices on love, war, and a prince’s cigar habit.
A long reading blends travel memoirs from a moonlit Pisa night with vivid notes on the Leaning Tower and Cathedral. It includes a wartime letter memory from Mary Livermore and a call for outdoor exercise for girls.
A chaotic mix of aphorisms and jokes from a newspaper humor column. The piece parades quips about soldiers, horses, poets, doctors, and politicians, interleaved with humorous dialogues and playful stabs at public figures and social manners. It weaves sketches of vanity, wit, and miscommunication across a patchwork of bits and snippets.
A look at how photographers calm fidgety infants during portraits. The Boston Post recounts babies upset by flash and noise, while photographers use play and gentle talk to coax smiles. Attendants worry but curiosity wins as photographers master the moment.
