An Atlantic essay by Caroline Ticknor discusses jokes growing in influence over public opinion and leadership. It contrasts humorous satire with serious outcomes for heroes and statesmen while noting our tendency to fear present troubles more than future ones.
A writer recalling a closeted patient describes a madman who, after turning a door key, asks for the writer to have his throat cut and shows a pocketknife from under a pillow. The writer moves to aid, reports to authorities, and the patient is taken to an asylum. The second fragment reflects on leafage harmony in trees, praising the orderly arrangement of leaves and their perfect variety.
