A poem urging adults to smile on and nurture street urchins and boys in youth. It argues that small acts of mercy shape men and warns harshness blinds both giver and receiver. It calls grandparents and communities to show kindness to boys to prevent future remorse.
A group of hunters ventures toward waterless plains near El Lano Estacado in western Texas. After a successful shot at a wary antelope, the narrator sinks into quicksand while tracking game and fears a slow death before his horse and rescuer arrive.
Members of the Masonic order lament that a recent theater hire shows a rite of masonry for patrons at a price. A second "lodge of sorrow" is described as touching and beautiful yet unmasonic and in deplorable taste.
A reader letters Miss Cleveland defending modesty in dress. She rejects claims of promoting immodest gowns, asserts a clear line between neck and bust, and argues women may choose modest or low neck styles within decorum. She rebukes critics as few in society and calls for a balanced standard.
The piece surveys figures such as Senator Philetus Sawyer and Congressman Hiscock, notes on birth dates under old and new calendars, bequests to press benevolent societies, and remarks on temperance and legal actions surrounding a Dempsey LaBlanche style bout. It also mentions Victoria Woodhull, Tennie Claflin, and Sir Francis Cook, and ends with a sensational account of an "electric boy" tested in Edinburgh.

He begs at kitchen doors and rewards kindly households, while households that refuse him face his silent, lifelong “black list.” His origin remains the subject of town theories and local lore.
A tale from the Lewiston Journal describes Uncle Stead, living near Readfield, arranging a charitable gift for a poor woman.
