A Maine land boom story unfolds as a farmer buys the Twist lot after a dream foretold by a mysterious preacher Meekmore. He uncovers pewter lumps, learns Twist profited, and realizes the dream led to folly and misled wealth hopes. The tale ends with a moral on dreams and greed.
Night descends and memories flood the mind in this poem from a February galary entry. The speaker longs for the living, loving days gone, recalling kisses, lovers, and summer prime as frost and silence chill the present. The refrain anchors the theme of cherished eras revived within memory.
A garbled table shows nail sizes from 3 penny to 20 penny with lengths and counts per pound. The text includes a joke about Jim Gapping, describing him as clever yet thick headed and recalling a party quip about memory and birth, followed by remarks on humor and local reports on Titusville petroleum trade.
A tale recalls Mahomet summoning officers to fetch an apple without stepping on a carpet. Ibrahim folds the rug to retrieve it, surprising onlookers. The piece also notes War Prince Schwartzenberg offering 1000 florins for beet sugar for the Vienna Exhibit of 1873, plus brisk foreign vessel sales and a Georgia Courier boast of iron beds and nettle sleops.
A humorous Horace Greeley fragment offers practical quips about farming timing and methods. It covers Friday hemp, Castor oil beans, hops with toads, rye sowing, and cautions on reaping wheat by the beard. It jokes about potato planting, squashes, cider from apples, and late plowing with health hints and funny cautions.
The Macon Journal argues for using county and other newspapers in classrooms to replace dull standard readers. Boards of Education should select moral, refined papers, read aloud in schools, and help children learn current literature while expanding knowledge beyond old texts. It notes many papers meet standards, though some do not, and urges prudent selection. It also mentions rats nibbling matches as a cause of fires and ends with a light anecdote about a man returning from an Indiana camp meeting who tasted the spirit from a black jug.
