A playful dialogue in a Boston Courier piece has a palm reader telling a youth his love is real and his proposal is likely. The reading forecasts the girl’s heart already won and ends with the couple’s engagement and a light rosy celebration described in Down East style.
A Georgia widow Aunt Mima Loring and her children endure hunger and loss as the Civil War depletes the family. Eben Riley Hamp die, Mack returns injured, and Little Dick survives a northern prison. At war’s end the mother’s hope is fulfilled as Little Dick comes home.
The piece argues marriage refines a man and centers his thoughts and acts. It claims marriage increases virtue, wisdom, and social drive while acknowledging greater cares. It contrasts unmarried life with the richer pleasures and duties of matrimony, urging young men to marry.

A Pacific coast man recalls a Georgia gambling dispute that led to jail and hospital visits. He describes turning the sheriff into a financier of a crooked game, winning his stock, clothes, and even a mule as the sheriff’s buoyant appetite for bets grows.
