Two brief verse fragments recount a lover's longing and a returned memory. The first describes twilight, a beloved girl in a pasture, and angels who covet yet protect her, while the second recalls a garden farewell, a knightly rider, fading sunset, and a lingering bouquet bound to fate.
Poem expresses a quiet farewell between lovers as night falls. The speaker speaks to their love, describing stars, the brook, birds, and the sea as witnesses, with repeated good night lines and a calm, lyrical mood. The verses blend imagery of night and distant light with intimate sentiment.
On a summer day at the bay Truth appears plump and youthful with fair features while Falsehood, old and gaunt, with clawlike fingers, watches from beneath a wave and schemes to slip away, jealousy filling his chest as they bathe.
A speaker pursues a distant beloved across a dark night sea. The wind and waves hinder the message as stars dimly shine above the vast, looming distance. The voice grows weary yet hopeful that the beloved may hear a distant cry, while the steadfast stars offer stubborn illumination.
A Boston tenement morning tale follows Tommy, a brave seven year old who asks for work after his mother cries over a missing five cents. He earns four dollars weekly as a cash boy, receives a dollar upfront, and returns home to empower his mother with new hope.
A Michigan farmer learned music prevents bee stings and took his accordion to a hive. The instrument was recovered after the bees settled for the night. Impatience dries the blood sooner than age or sorrow.
A historical sketch tracing women's lives from late Roman times through the 15th century. It notes isolation of women in public life, Francis I introducing women to court, harsh living conditions in Paris, limited meals, use of oil-dipped rags as candles, and Henry Viii era chivalry practices with wives borne on horseback and hooded for warmth.
An elderly stranger buys a Galveston News and tells a newsboy to keep the change as a rare kind gesture. A Shutesbury couple visits a hotel restaurant and jokes about celery as a “hetty bo’kay.” An advertisement urges readers to write to Lydia E. Pinkham for female health pamphlets.
If you feel weak or languid or worn down with care of children use Frazier's Root Bitters. The ad promises toning effects and youthfulness with claims of reversing signs of aging and malarial districts. Sold by Henry & Davies at 1 dollar per bottle, Cleveland Ohio.
An Indian remedy named Dr Williams Indian Pile Ointment is advertised as a cure for chronic piles and related symptoms.
