The Farmer and the Quack Doctor Tale

A satirical poem critiques social climbing and greed as a middling farmer aspires to gentility. It contrasts the rise of city ladies and fools who chase fashion with the ruin that follows poverty and law neglect. The narrator warns against vanity and quack cures that profit from pretension.

Boyish Whistles and Simple Music Lost to Fashion

A Home Journal reflection contrasts boys whistles with modern tastes, blaming opera and fashionable music for diminishing home grown tunes. A Wisconsin candy vendor anecdote honors a mother made treat, linking humble origins to enduring parental care and character.

Irving Fisher
