A wistful verse reflects on dreaming of tender love that faded with time. The speaker asks the heart to remember past closeness while noting love is lost to sight and the dream will fade soon. The poem laments vanished springs and lovers' gaz.
In a Gotham drawing room Theodore Shelton parades wealth while his daughter Jennie sketches the Hudson from a Fifth Avenue terrace. Tom Hale, once a Yale draftsman, returns years later to confront the wrecked fortunes and the heiress he still longs to find, as a grim financial crash reshapes high society.
A fragment from a periodical piece blends verses about a fairy on a moonbeam with a travel note on monkeys in India. It recounts a scientist’s caution near a lake shore, observed monkey behavior, and a light fiction interlude about Jennie Shelton and Tom Hale, ending with a suggested promenade to Fifth Avenue and a river scene sketch in a Mrs Hale setting.
The Sitka Alaskan reports on Alaska coal prospects near Yukutat tas and a vein dip, noting growing output and expanding mines as part of Seward purchase-era optimism. It also retells a French legend about a girl transformed into a spider, learning to see as both human and arachnid.
A preacher's wife recalls her three year old daughter's mischief with coal chunks while dressed for visiting on West Pine. The child paused, prayed aloud for patience, and the mother, startled, nearly spanked but burst into laughter at the innocent plea. The moment captures a small domestic episode from the St. Louis Star Sayings column.
A lengthy sermon by Canon Farrar criticizes alcohol as not a food or health source and argues for abstinence. It cites life insurance policies denying lager beer brewers and urges temperance. The piece includes questions for workingmen on saloons, trafficking, and social impact, framed in a late 19th or early 20th century reform voice.
A mixed religious reading page presents poems on Jacob's well and spiritual thirst, followed by sermons urging steadfast Christian faith and simplicity. It recalls Lord Shaftesbury's kindness, a Woodstock prayer gathering story, and notes on moral character and charity.
