A nostalgic poem from a Logansport Telegraph reader, recalling boyhood pranks on farm animals and country joys. The verses praise Mary’s charm and poetic talent, imagining a life together if the speaker were a farmer partner, ending with James to GO HORT et.
In a Gody's Lady's Book tale a young heir Harry Lincoln inherits a Virginia mansion and vast plantation after his uncle's death. He lingers at the hall window watching a veil masked beauty, Miss Fanny Stubbs, and vows to learn her name and residence as he contemplates romance.
Harry Lincoln courts Fanny Stubbs at the old cottage on his plantation. They share music, talk of politics, and reveal family histories before Fanny consents to marry, after a plan to move to the old country with her brother.
An obituary fragment honors the kindness of a respected elder, praising his benevolence and the love he inspired. The passage concludes with a gentle blessing for his resting place and a wish of peace for his ashes.
A soft rap at the door awakens Harry who reacts to Fanny appearing from the veiled cottage. He moves forward to greet the girl, catching her hands as she peeks out from under the veil and the scene turns with a tender, dreamy mood.
Harry welcomes his Cambridge friend Richard Sinclair to his home in Charleston. Sinclair presses Harry for reasons behind Fanny’s presence and Harry’s secrecy, while Fanny begins to recount the long, tangled tale linking them all.
In the North the Adams Transcript recounts a tale of a fair damsel faced with choosing between rival suitors. She binds both to accompany her to the Squire and promises to choose after a year, provided the rejected suitor pays the marriage fee and gives five dollars before leaving town for a year. The piece notes the drama was acted out and the deserting suitor left town as agreed.
The Boston Times reports a young man in the streets hugged a woman and kissed her many times thinking she was his twin sister whom he was courting. On clarification it turned out he kissed the wrong sister. The paper warns it may be dangerous to marry a woman with a twin.
A casual remark about cheap goods sparks a reply noting that not everything is cheap, with a sly nod to women as “dear.” The dialogue suggests politeness flows from liberty and that social refinement comes from mild friction as people rub one another smooth through amiable collision.
