Come Home With Me Yet The Lament Of a Mother
A fragmented poem-like passage recounts a mother urging her son Benny and another to come home as clocks strike different hours. The plea reflects hunger, cold, illness, and a dying boy, with the mother praying for their return before tragedy. The lines convey a grave household crisis and looming loss.

The Whisky Crusade and the moral question of drink
A fragment from a debate on temperance argues that wine and strong drink are not immoral or wasteful per se and that prohibition punishes the innocent. It warns against banning beauty, luxury, or religion for abuses and urges lawful restraint rather than despotism, urging individual self-rule at home.

Dreaming foretellings of Mr. Alden of Fairhaven
The New Bedford Standard reports a string of uncanny premonitions by John Alden of Fairhaven Massachusetts. Dreams predicted a brother’s wrecked voyage ending in safe return and a near collapse of a wall during a building move. In one case he identified a house unseen, and in another a scarf’s recovery by a brakeman named William Neil on conductor Bolic’s train.
