Time and Beauty Pass Across Time and Death
The discourse muses on time eroding beauty and grandeur, time’s ink marking all with decay, and how time guides souls to a higher destiny beyond the grave.

A Boy's Trials and Notes on Society in 19th Century
The Springfield Republican reprints lively vignettes of boyhood trials from home life to school, including resisting parental control, sitting with girls, first long tailed coats, and returning home after courting. The piece shifts to humorous anecdotes of widows, a tombstone salesman, a romantic real life romance, and social observations on manners, fashion, and courting rituals.
