A nostalgic poem by William Cullen Bryant reflects on a beloved village and river near the speaker's youth. It contrasts perpetual nature with changing life, praising the tranquil streams, blossom scenes, and the enduring charm that time cannot erase. The piece laments aging, yet affirms the river’s constancy and the enduring memories it nourishes.
A young woman narrator begins a teaching post in Lester village after a spring decision to seek work beyond home duties. She battles a unruly class led by the doctor's son Frank Eldridge, learns mercy over punishment, and faces social scrutiny as a hidden romance tests authority and ambition.
A Glasgow tale recalls a nineteenth century youth Archibald Bom of a notorious Ell Club. After debauched revels and a vivid dream of hell, he deserts vice briefly but relapses. He returns to excess at the Saturnalia, and is found dead along the roadside near his return home, the horse grazing beside him.
An illustrated dialogue about newspapers and their value. A Major and Squire discuss city and county papers, advertising, and personal notices. The exchange pivots on whether readers gain from press coverage, obituaries, and public notices, ending with a printer’s quip about debt and luck.
Fragmentary lines describe fleeting beings and brief feasts, noting a Little Gisants and small crafts that have fallen from use. The text reads like a riddle or diary fragment, with references to faith and Abraham's bosom and to a “Tattle Dugout” as a rest for the faithful.
