A rural poem by Edwin 8. Hopkins in Judge expresses the pleasure and contentment of harvest time. The speaker describes corn in tassel, sunlit stalks, and the joy of earthy work with bare feet in the dirt. Nostalgia and gratitude weave through the scene of farm life.
In a royal chamber the ailing little dauphin endures a solemn death vigil as the queen, governors, and courtiers attend. Cannons and veterans encircle the bed while the chaplain speaks and the child longs for Beppo to die in his stead, seeking comfort in paradise.
A royal scene shows the young dauphin dismissive of expectations as he demands fine clothes and questions his role in paradise. The chaplain counsels, but the child turns away weeping, refusing to listen to further lessons about rank and destiny. The passage comes from Prom Alphonse Dau det's Pastels in Prose.
A garland of eccentric talismans and political patter shows card lotteried figures like Jay Gould and Russell Sage, mascots worn by Senators Evarts and Newcomb, a 1621 copper cent, and odd exchanges about congressmen’s work and a Kreutzer Sonata interruption. Text blends anecdotes with comic dialogue and racial caricature.
A collage of quips on irony and manners interlaced with kitchen tips. Cooking advice appears alongside humor about marriage, aging, and social pretensions. The piece blends proverb, fiction, and early 20th century style to entertain and instruct households. It ends with a sales pitch for Hood's Sarsaparilla as a superior medicine.
An advertisement requests readers to consider a safe loan with good interest, suggesting the Sun's Money to Loan column as the convenient channel for securing a trustworthy loan. The pitch emphasizes safety and favorable rates over risky schemes.
