A long Prose piece extols beauty as a divine gift to humanity. It contrasts two mindsets: those who seek beauty in all things and those blind to nature’s charms. It links cultivation of beauty to moral growth, heavenward longing, and the joy of youth, urging purity of heart and reverence for creation.
A fragmented 19th century tale recalls a debt collector chasing a compositor feared of dun. a corpse, charity, and a late 19th century tax report mix with a Beloit wedding anecdote. The piece threads debt, death, and small-town commerce into a single anxious vignette.
The piece contrasts Japanese finishing schools where young girls study under paid masters, with vivid vignettes of coastal steamboat life and a mule ride misadventure. It also includes humor about a cigar supper exchange and a pious aunt’s smoking habit, ending with a child’s question about first impressions at home.
A Western paper jokes about impossible political and personal predicaments. It lists comic scenarios like faced with wrong doors, damp beds, arranging marriages, and choosing between risky options. The tone mocks candidate recommendations and wartime injuries with whimsical, paradoxical decisions.
An elderly Cambridge man borrows trouble after stealing his wife's gold watch and selling it in Boston. She retaliates by taking his false teeth while he slept, then returns them at breakfast as they reconcile, promising not to clash over property again.
The penitentiary chaplain says he knows many printers as friends yet no prisoner who worked in printing ever joined his congregation. He argues the occupation may elevate, not corrupt, inmates, and notes printers have not been drawn to prison life or its vices.
A traveler in Turkey recounts a dervish parable about two angels recording deeds, good and bad, with forgiveness after midnight. The piece shifts to Dr Sage’s Catarrh Remedy ads and moral maxims on charity. It then narrates a circus elephant anecdote and a Chicago basket trade note linked to deserted babies. It closes with a clergyman’s quip about fishing on Sunday and a boy’s defiant reply.
