Dorothy Dix argues American divorces stem from married couples growing apart as careers and leisure diverge. She stresses the need for comradery, shared burdens, and joint activities to sustain marriage, noting rich couples suffer more from separation as work obsesses men and women pursue separate social circles and pastimes.
The poem asks who is strong not the brute but the man who faces temptation yet refuses sin and keeps honor. It wonders who is good not the walker of easy paths but one who resists vanity and remains true. It seeks wisdom in resisting folly and serenity within the bustling city.
A report recalls Judge Story and Boward Everett as leading figures at a Boston dinner. One toasted quite warmly, while the other offered a refined impromptu reply praising merit and good sentiment.
A seedy storyteller laments harsh policing and flawed justice while describing a head lump from a police baton. He recounts being questioned in railway yards over a joke about fish plates, then jailed briefly before a sane magistrate frees him. He questions societal treatment of the wandering thinker.
The piece contrasts public perception of Crippen and the justice system with a broader riff on law, work, and society. It questions whether policing and punishment are fair as it recounts Crippen's capture and public reception, ending with a prompt to weigh justice as a four flusher.

The tale shifts to a quip about ancient advisories and medieval newspapers before concluding with a pun about cuneiform bricks and a playful newspaper spoof. The exchange highlights timeless patience and journalism lore.
A comic scene unfolds as a sleuth confronts Binks in a library about unpaid bills while the landlord barges in. The bill collector boasts of his gallery of debts, lampoons a grocer’s potato line, and quips about a trunk bound to the floor. Later a Swallerbox master claims nerves and a scenic railway, then a funeral day ball game encounter reveals a dying request to cheer the Giants in memory of a grandmother.
At the Indiana courthouse dedication many dignitaries spoke. One speaker, noted for wealth and self confidence but lacking education, delivered a boastful line about mankind divided into two classes with a grand air, a misquoted remark traced to Lippincott.
