A historical Plainfield Gazette excerpt presents an acrostic poem by The Teacher, praising temperance and moral uplift. It invokes Bethesda like healing waters and urges cleansing of blots and blemishes, guiding the young mind toward virtue and self control under spiritual instruction.
A short verse speaks of kindness softening a bruised heart and reviving a parched soul. It ponders how a single kind word could bring paradise to those in sorrow and pain.
Hamilton Rowan refutes a rude bet at Caple Carin with a revolver bluff after guests demand the landlord fetch the shoulder of mutton. The Irish gentleman in the next room is invoked by the squire, who insists the watch given to Rowan is his, then delivers the timepiece as a joke. Rowan uses the moment to confront the table and depart with the jokingly claimed watch still in his possession.
