A verse by an aging narrator laments fashion driving families apart. He recalls simpler days with wife and children, contrasting village life with wealth and status. The speaker urges care for the old, hoping it will not be dictated by fashion and social trends.
A speaker denounces the opposition to President Grant, praising his administration for pursuing Republican principles, protecting all classes, and upholding law. He argues Greeley’s candidacy would risk economic and military policy, tariffs, and national unity, urging support for Grant as the stable choice.
A historical reflection on the 1860 presidential campaign, contrasting two long standing political currents. It notes the deep divisions over liberty and equality versus union stability, and the contested right of secession. The piece laments moral conflicts while noting nations’ faith in peaceful politics during crisis.
Sharper's Weekly argues the same political dilemma repeats in a modern campaign. It contrasts Democratic strengths in the South and Republican vitality in enlightened regions, urging memory of past wars and the need for justice and equality over partisan nostalgia.
A garbled compilation of witty quips and brief anecdotes mentions the Charge of the Light Brigade, a railway street widening suggestion, comic dialogues about potatoes and windows, a sick Stella joke, a clergyman with three wives, a Chicago widow’s letter pattern, and a note on the Wabash River running unusually low. Various names and cities appear in fragmentary form.
The piece recalls a Dart mouth College alumni gathering disrupted by a rumored Choate absence and Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes's quip about filling the role. It then retells old Cork legal lore about a sentence not to be altered and a courtroom clash between Chief Baron O Grady and a prisoner. Howard and O Connell figures appear in critique and banter.
A Portland Oregon Statesman report tells of F H Huntley and his infant son stolen years earlier by a man in Buffalo who later found his way to Salem. The boy, raised by other parents, was recognized and finally returned to Huntley in Indiana after a long, tearful family reunion.
