Anecdote of Decatur and Greeks in Literature
A fragmented old paper column blends anecdotes and humorous asides. It recalls Decatur’s refusal of tribute after the war with Algiers, mentions a Greek girl’s flirtation with dancing, and shifts through assorted jokes, editorials, and travel notes with wary, period-tinged wit.

Destruction of a Temple and Elder Oaks Remain
A poetic meditation on ruin and time cites a distant temple fallen to moss and wind. The scene shifts to a mountain oak, stripped of leaves as winds mock its former life, followed by a sober prophecy of cosmic judgment and the end of time spoken by an angel. A Picayune correspondent reports Actormoruses Indians lingering near camp, trading dances for pay, then a tale of a braids barter and a fearsome skull bet.

Odds and Ends About Night Winds and Reflections
In darkness and height we sense a night wind as a mighty spirit fanning us. Old maids with pets and Howérs are joked about, while loneliness drives substitution. Glass-like husbands of the unmerced reflect poorly when troubled, and reverses reveal pecked peccadilloes like bird nests attracting stones from passersby.
