Button Folly and Frugal Tales in a Curious Ledger
A humorous, anecdotal piece traces Jeptha the frugal suitor who years for a tailor and a then proceeds to bargain, barter, and finally lose a love over a three penny gift. His reckoning, Mary’s counter offers, and a bachelor’s button crown a cautionary tale of courtship and thrift. Also included is a Governor Everett speech praising education and a lively Pat at sea vignette about a shipboard Irish sailor.
