Rest by the Still Waters and Other Poetical Sketches
A late 19th century column blends verse about still waters and peace with short prose items from Chicago 1868. Letters recount travel from Washington to Baltimore, reflections on Bladensburg battles, a moral about busy lives and death, a mutiny quelled by an elephant, and a Georgia widow tale of a thief.
