The Roadale Farm and a Mother's Eternal Hope
A sultry July afternoon at Roaedale hosts Mrs. Willis and a stranger mother who dies after entrusting her child to them. Lenora, tormented by her father's curse, records a journal of love, flight, hardship, and motherhood from 1842 to 1854, ending with a repentant father reclaiming his granddaughter Mabel and bringing her home.

Anecdotes of Travel and Mischief in a German Train
A Parisian traveler aboard a Strasbourg to Berlin rail journey befriends two English speaking women. The party teases him for not speaking German, yet he endures with composure as Bertha and Bertha discuss his looks. At the next stop he replies in fluent German to prove himself, impressing Bertha and leading to a brief romance. Hamburg becomes their home.

A Hundred Years Ago in America and Beyond
A compendium of reflections on a century of American growth from a time when Ohio and surrounding territories had no white settlers to the rise of a republic. The piece contrasts then and now, notes Canada under French control, and cites figures like Boone, Washington, Napoleon, and Frederick the Great, with musings on technological advances and the dawn of a modern world. A humorous aside references Mrs. Partington discussing common ta ters and a misheard preacher. It closes with a pro abolition note from Harrison C. Blake urging Congress to examine freedom bills and end slavery where constitutional power allows.
