A Whittier poem praising barefoot childhood contrasts with a fable about Ben Adam and Ben Selim. The barefoot lad embodies simple joy and republican virtue, while the coin tale tracks wealth multiplied by giving, ending with heavenly reward for generosity and social contrast.
A long misunderstood tale from Peoria follows John Talbert who vanished after Civil War battles and was presumed dead. Rebecca Farmer Talbert remarried, but Talbert survived Andersonville, returned altered, and reconnected with his wife and child, only to witness more tragedy before a final reunion.
A cluttered miscellany of short anecdotes and notes covers a Cincinnati father teaching Sunday school, farm talks on oats and corn, etymology of househood, a bill on patent medicines, mail delivery from German women, livestock feeding counsel, a side secret society anecdote, local obituaries, and quips about Mark Twain, Thompson, and Bethel Maine. The pieces mix humor, moral, and everyday rural life with brief notices.
