A long verse contemplates mortality and the fleeting nature of life. It contrasts swift earthly events and the eventual rest in the grave with the enduring cycle of generations. It recalls mothers, fathers, and workers who fade like grass and leaves, while humanity repeats its path across time.
In a tale of wealth and whimsy, Arthur Delancey and Fidelia Fairfax resist a strange bequest that conditions marriage. After a dramatic train crash and swift courtship, Arthur and Fidelia wed, while Uriah Kent and Araminta join as a second couple, uniting two families over money and honor.
The article questions the standard view that thorough mastication aids digestion. It cites Dr. Browning’s dog experiments and Prof Ludwig’s self-tests, suggesting coarse intake may pass through the stomach with similar or better digestion, while fine chewing might hinder the process.
A New York Sun report describes an immense clock at Tammany Hall with a world time dial and moving globes representing planets. The device, built by Felix Meiver, shows orbital speeds and lunar phases, while figures of historical and political scenes animate hourly, including Washington and the Presidents.
Indians of both genders gather at a slum pond to watch and join a shinny like game. Eight squaws play four per side with tree branches and a rawhide ball, aiming to reach their home base. Buck champions shout when their side wins three innings and winnings are shared among players.
A nostalgic defense of fish hearing debates appears in a letter noting editorials of the Albany Evening Journal. The piece cites Mr. Jones in Washington carp ponds claiming a noise summons fish, while Prof. Agassiz is invoked as authority. It details a Nahant 1855 exchange and a sketch of a fish ear, concluding with a pragmatic cue to crack a fish skull to observe the hearing apparatus.
The article surveys dog lore linking weather signs to canine behavior such as grass eating and rolling. It notes Irish beliefs about meeting a barking dog at dawn, dogs as character indicators, and the notion that a dog’s life is tied to its owner. It also traces dog related insults in old writings like dogs-bolt and dog's-face.
Poem recounts scenes of love, betrayal, and sorrow across a bride, mother, sister, and son. Recurrent refrain voices the divine call to endure suffering as a healer guides each life toward a brighter, distant star. The poems threads weave devotion, heartbreak, and faith through multiple family trials.
A collage of jokes and aphorisms on language and marriage. Ranging from puns about Bible names to domestic life quips and social observations, the items blend humor with light irony about spouses, nouns and adjectives, and everyday mishaps.
A playful verse frames a boy and tadpoles in comic chaos. A whimsical speaker notes the boy gliding and swimming with a race, teeth chattering and jaw rattling as he battles an ague like a chilly ether sniff.
A Russian baptism tradition forbids the infant’s father and mother from serving as sponsors and from being present. Godparents who answer for the child become related to it and to each other, and sponsors who previously stood for the same child cannot marry each other.
