A lyric scene describes winter fading and spring arriving. A speaker recalls a sweetheart as violets bloom and birds sing while the girl gathers violets and shares them with him. Green earth returns and love is spoken in gentle, pastoral tones.
The poem wanders through memories of summers when life felt ideal and theater was truth. It recalls a mossy square, elms, and a child's play with water and clay, while robins, locusts, swallows, and a shimmering river set a serene, bittersweet scene.
The text argues that sleeping with the head above the heart aids blood return and brain nourishment. It contrasts right side and level-floor sleeping, warns against too-thick pillows, and promotes a pillow that elevates the head modestly to avoid waking unrest and daytime fatigue.
The article recounts Barnum turning a profit from Joice Heth, claiming vast age and wealth, then her death. It shifts to a domestic scene where Nellie, home life, and Master Tom resolve a mess, ending with Granger visiting and Tom's wife Nellie keeping a tidy, affectionate home.
Nellie Carter endures Tom Carter’s messiness in a Hillsburg home. She rebels over a crushed Bohemian vase and soggy shawl, debating how to curb his behavior as she seeks domestic harmony in their new life together.
A fragmented reminiscence centers on John Hamilton son of Alexander Hamilton and the narrator's memories of a troubled day. The piece depicts a tense scene in a northern New York countryside home and a whispered farewell. The narrator describes a tense night and a plea for prayer as a father figure and son confront distress.
A Boston Transcript corrispondent recalls a funeral scene among Black parishioners. The narrator, the only white person present, describes the crowd’s mourning, the lamp of a faithful speaker, and a hymn echoing through a pine graveyard as they lower the coffin. The piece blends religious imagery with vivid social contrast.
A fragment discusses Paris as a grand ville and criticizes American observers for envying luxury and shunning peasant hardship. It argues imperial wealth fueled loot from conquered realms and notes American sybaritic habits as a sign of moral weakness and detachment from global history.
