A man recalls youth with longing and fevered dreamlike visions. He returns to school and work but finds his old ease gone and the world viewing him as a cautious fool. He wakes to altered tones, realizing boyhood days were better for boys and manhood for men.
A letter from a Canadian settler in Ontario recounts his rise from a carpenter's son in England to owner of Indian Creek Farm. He marries Winny Bradscome after surviving the Antarctic wreck with her, then builds a life in Canada, ending with a warm portrait of their return to dinner and family.
A mixed column discusses women and society. It cites Rev. James Freeman Clarke on women and the state, noting women’s distinct nature and the need for female voices in public affairs. Observations on society’s dangers for young women in Washington and the costumes of social life appear alongside humorous quips and anecdotes.
A long argument defends woman suffrage as a duty not a vanity, asserting voting shapes public opinion more than force. It cites Massachusetts teachers as evidence women govern daily life, and mocks the fear of women becoming political by clarifying ballots are tools of opinion, not swords. The piece shifts to a children’s tale of Johanne, later Jenny Lind, and then satirical asides on ruins and tastes, reflecting broad newspaper miscellany.
A travel sketch notes Old Faithful’s regular eruptions over a hundred feet high and the sulfur tasting waters nearby. It describes watching other sights, including boiling springs for cooking, and a playful bit about bags of clothes being boiled in the water. The piece shifts to praise Dakota’s growth with railway miles, schools, newspapers, and post offices, citing comparative figures from the Chicago Herald.
A collage of quips and verse fragments from periodicals includes witty exchanges on lying and truth, jokes about wine and chickens, a cartoonish telephone poem, and notes on a grand Flood mansion boudoir, plus a plan for reviving ancient Nile waters as a new African sea project.
