Fragmented verse by Mary N. Prescott asks why care for love as spring and summer parade beauty. Laments delayed spring and frost, imagining a world filled with perfume, fairy imagery, and roxy petals while questioning feelings.
A long jumble of reflections on royal childhood and etiquette contrasts princely education across monarchies. It notes tutors, discipline, and demonstrations of protocol, with anecdotes about Napoleon III era heirs, Prince Imperial, and other royal offspring. It also threads brief personal notices about politicians and military figures, plus society gossip and assorted anecdotes from the period.
A narrator recalls a quaint shop run by Mr Rogers, the beloved yet troubled cobbler, whose celebrated sign and stories drew locals. After a winter decline, Rogers faces poverty and isolation, while a family hopes to help him, and a young man returns with a renewed faith bringing Christmas hope.
The death of Surgeon General Barnes recalls a prank years ago at a Kansas fort. An English party heard a tale of a petrified Indian figure by a spring after a hoax, with a native costume and water that turned out to be sandstone and spring water. The visitors took the figure to New York, while Barnes denied involvement. A separate crude domestic incident ends with a wife slapping her husband after a lottery windfall.
A brief verse dialogue between a tear and a smile by Joseph Daweon explores how joy and sorrow interdepend in human life. The tear questions meaning while the smile argues that light must border grief to ease pain and reveal subtle hope.
A garbled portrait notes a man with erect bearing, easy step, shapely head, flaxen mustache, and well-defined chin. Citizens on Cambridge Street glimpsed him passing Boston, impressed by the blend of curiosity and admiration in the crowd.
The Philadelphia patent lawyer George Harding famed for a retentive memory rode a Broadway omnibus to Wall Street. A young woman handed him fifty cents to pass to the river, but he kept it and read a mowing machine brief. The driver demanded change, the tale grew awkward, and the lady fled at the Custom House while Harding, amid jeers, pressed on. He returned to Philadelphia without a fee, insisting he would pay a thousand pardons instead.
