Trainman’s love and a vanished life at the junction
A narrator recalls a railroad junction tale of Joe the beloved engine man, a bitter love triangle with a girl, a rival, and Joe’s fatal crash while saving a passenger train. The survivor, Tom, mourns, while the girl honors Joe at the hillside graves. The tale ends as the Montreal express vanishes in a storm of steam and cinders.

Over-work and the call for balanced life
A long essay argues that labor must serve leisure not consume life. It warns against overwork, drudgery, and the idolizing of labor, urging a societal readjustment so everyone gains time for the amenities of life. It cites farmers and salt tax as examples of economic imbalances and the need to study soil before salt use.

Insufferable Abbreviation in Clothing Terms
