A collection of light anecdotes and jokes about clergy, recruits, lovers, and editors. It features a preacher joking about the Devil’s daughter, a recruit joking of sleeping on a bayonet, a romantic man favoring a thin lady, and a Dixie note asking for Lincoln’s kelp, ending with an angelic mischief line.
Nellie and Dora on a train plot to fool Nellie’s brother Fred with a mistaken meeting. A handsome stranger pretends to be Nellie’s brother as a prank, leading to comic romantic mix ups and a family reunion at home. Archie Winters reveals himself as the real college friend, and Nellie pleads for secrecy to preserve Fred’s prank.
A narrator recalls a confession of desire and being at a suitor's mercy. Within two months Archie and the narrator unite, Dora and Fred celebrate, and Dora asks the narrator to attend their wedding in a month, which they do, sharing in the family joy.
A long playful sketch mocks Syracuse New York highlighting salt imagery in citizens and politics. It parodies bridges, brines, and local quirks while clipping in digressions on Town gossip, vanity, and a fragmentary Shakespearean note from Vanity Fair style.
