Poem reflects on inevitability of death and rest beneath nature. The speaker envisions future seasons, flowers, snow, and birds around a grave, with the sun eventually shining on the resting place and memories fading into quiet. The tone is somber and contemplative about mortality.
A retired governess Mary Rivers narrates rescuing a young boy Ben Gray from a burglary plot at a London house. She shelters him, arranges schooling through Mr. Dale and Jefferson farm school, and later learns he becomes a respected surgeon, married with children, who seeks her out to thank her and invite her home. The piece also includes a Wyoming wedding and a satirical column on civic humor and presidential advice.
An evocative passage portrays a waterlit statue representing Time, watched by passing crowds. The piece personifies lapse and the flow of seconds into days and years, noting Time’s melancholy music and the river of hopes and fears across life’s valley as a Princetonian narrator observes.
A Boulder letter to The Denver Tribune relays Lamon’s account of Lincoln naming Edwin M. Stanton secretary of war after a 1862 discussion. It recalls Stanton’s prior insult to Lincoln, Stanton becoming a counselor, Speed’s cabinet role, Grant’s Vicksburg siege, and Lincoln’s defense of Grant amid pressure.
A collage of quips and wry passages from a Buffalo paper, including exaggerated tales and cartoons about social manners and odd incidents. The items lampoon religion, etiquette, and small town life with colorful, slangy humor and moralistic punchlines.
A compilation of aphorisms on self reliance purpose and character. It discusses the spine as protection, the link between pain and pleasure, truth and opinion, experience of knowledge, and the value of perseverance and hope for happiness beyond this life.
In a clever piece by Edgar A. Poe the hidden name is revealed by a letter pattern across fourteen lines. The text riffs on sonnet tropes and mocks contrived poetry with playful acrostic misdirections and self aware humor about form.
The piece discusses turban and Derby popularity, hair trends, moire brocade and new stockings, and witty millinery observations. It blends fashion notes with brief social vignettes, including a Parisian consolation tale, New York modesty complaints, a Brooklyn donation, and remarks on Mrs. Howe's Marblehead lecture amid a crowd.
