An elegiac reflection on memory and old pleasures as the ball ends. The speaker recalls people, places, and songs like After the Ball, imagining a return to cozy comfort and quiet moments after public gaiety. The verse laments fading youth and laments lost gatherings while clinging to cherished recollections.
A fragment from a 19th century sketch traces the tempestuous life of Cherokee leader General John Ridge born 1827 in what is now Rome Georgia. It recalls the 1839 massacre of Ridge and his father Ka-nun-ta- Klage by John Ross factions during forced removal, as told by a survivor Yellow Bird with harrowing details and the mother’s grief.
The piece recounts Yellow Bird, a long prominent Californian figure, a régiment veteran and editor, who after 1849 engaged in gold mining. It notes his literary gifts, political writings, and devotion to the arts, and tells of a commission to write an Indian love song for sculptor Vinnie Ream. The poem adapts into a popular Capitol tune.
In 1888 near Frankfort Michigan a ship ported for repairs and a wall red squirrel rode the voyage unseen aboard. The crew watched as the creature scampered the gangplank and stayed aboard for weeks returning to Frankfort each time. The little traveler vanished on leaving port and was never seen again.
A Chicago Times reporter surveys arbiters of taste at the World’s Fair, detailing chic men’s coats. It describes Chesterfield or fly front overcoats in worsteds, mid-length cuts, and covert overcoats, plus day and half-dress frock, cutaway and sack suits, with detailed measurements, fabrics, and buttoning patterns for a refined, urban audience.
A seven year old compares boys and girls whistling, asking why girls may not whistle as boys do. She recalls asking her father why and Grandma's reply that girls are singlers. The piece ends with a child’s reflection on cold baths and resilience after a brook incident, tied to a Waverly Magazine tale.
A fragmented exchange between Mrs Hobbs and Mr Hobbs shows a heated parenting discourse about raising their son Willie. The crude metaphor suggests harsh discipline as a fuse for adult behavior and propriety.
A fragment discusses a social group nicknamed the Brake band, noting aging among its young members and a courtly clash over propriety. A society man questions a daughter about imprudence while she asserts she can keep up with her mother. The piece cites a New York piece as source.
