A collection of poetic excerpts extols hopeful resilience and faith. It urges stopping to enjoy life, trusting in God, and embracing daily duties. Messages of blessing from a mother to a son mix with reflections on perseverance, endurance, and learning life’s lessons through repeated effort. Diverse verses emphasize hope through cloudy days and devotion in ordinary tasks.
A heated debate at a sewing circle mocks sending shirts to Africa and lampoons missionary zeal, with neighbors trading barbs about charity, civilization, and the fine line between aid and folly. The dialogue escalates into farcical accusations before a twist reveals a humane, practical joke.
A years old system of grave robbers linked to a Chicago headquarters supplied bodies to colleges and medical men in Wisconsin and Illinois. One Wisconsin case saw a widow’s grave opened after funeral, the coffin intact but the body removed, driving the husband to vow pursuit and punishment of the ghouls.
An 1840 fragment recounts Henry J Haymonda’s political and journalistic beginnings. He grades for Tippecanoe and Taylor, teaches at a nearby school, and moves to New York City after failed hopes. He recalls meeting Mr. Weed and Mr. Greeley in Albany and reading about Silas Wright’s LL D honor.
A historic health essay argues for abundant daylight over heavy window drapes and excessive tree planting. It urges site selection with sun exposure, bright usable rooms, light reflecting decor, and large bay windows to harness the sun for medical and daily well being, citing wartime hospital observations and medical consensus.
A fragment discusses family meals during illness, noting a custom of mothers urging eating and a father refusing indulgence. It recalls a tale of a man who ate eighteen apple dumplings when sick and argues brief starvation at first signs could avert deeper illness, suggesting bread and cold water as minimal sustenance.
The article recounts a botched execution of Charley Orme on the gallows, where the rope failed and the sheriff adjusted a new noose multiple times. After prolonging the death for twenty five minutes, Orme died, leading editors to mock a proposed National University of Hangmen to teach the arts of strangling and dislocation, including clergy training and gallows construction, in a satirical Tribune piece.
