Poetic reminiscence of a deceased little brother named Spence. A dim old forest image is judged the finest memory among many pictures on Memory’s wall. The speaker recalls summers long past, the child asleep in a bed of yellow leaves, and the saintlike beauty seen in sunset light.
A lyrical tale begins with a May ramble and gun in hand, wandering through groves and a silver brook. A cave leads to a radiant valley of eternal life where a golden crown, city and feast await, but leaving breaks the spell and the traveler returns to find only ash and memory. Years pass, a moral dawn arrives with Faith and Hope, and the crucifixion of the Son of God unfolds through benevolence, miracles, and salvation.
A Pittsburg Mail item recounts a Berlin boarding house where a lump of butter aged and reshaped wandered across tables for a week. A ringleader, teased by others, finally reveals the culprit as the talk turns to the butter’s mysterious course. Also noted are tallied items about Berlin’s selection of a laureate to present the emperor with an ode and a quip on a new bride’s height.
A reflective piece argues many people drift from their true vocations. It cites an artist who would suit linen trading, a craftsman with poor bargaining, a clergyman more fit for carpentry, and an actress desiring a country farm. Had they followed their proper paths they could have cultivated all they could, enriching the world with harmonious work.
Humorous note about a horse named Jeri cho that shies at telegraph poles and haystacks, then shifts to a broad survey of the U S Army including troop counts, pay, posts, and pensions. The piece mentions West Point, Fort Monroe, Willets Point, and Iowa forest preservation efforts, with scattered garbled remnants about trees, fields, and rants on various topics.
