In Fairmount a lavish wedding inquiry upends village decorum as Widow C and a dashing companion attend services in broad daylight. The groom, attire, and a hidden engagement become the tale of a society crowded with gossip and speculation during a midsummer Sabbath.
A historical column trots through witty epitaphs from graves of notable figures. It recalls Fuller, Strange, Burton, Grimaldi, Jerrold, Shakespeare actors, Mrs Oldfield, John Gay, Sir Thomas Vere, Sir Thomas Perkins, Miss Long, Bancroft, and Worsdale, noting humor, praise, and sharp jabs carved in stone.
The piece nostalgiaishly recalls a speaker who confesses lifelong searches for an ordained path, recounting failed ventures and odd promises, along with pithy anecdotes on farming, marriage, and ambition. It includes jokes about bigamy and quips on love, plus a Savannah note about General Sherman and a wary war forecast.
Fragmentary verse to close this war of wars. It ponders the skill of plotting and the burdens of policy touching the people, with oblique references to taxes and cold, sleet like burdens. The voice laments leadership and the weight of decisions on the public.
A fragmented 19th century snippet from the Mt. Gilani Sentinel argues war policy failed after years of effort and should be dissolved. It likens Copperhead supporters to a party that has persisted four years without success and calls for action without formal proceedings.
The writer laments excessive apologies when guests arrive unannounced, noting how hosts over explain, excuse shortcomings, and spoil hospitality. They argue for simple, gracious welcomes over long apologies, urging dignity in conduct and dress tied to business, income, and real presence rather than constant excuses.
An OCR damaged excerpt recounts a railway dinner complimenting law figures. It notes shipyards in the Clyde building steamers to run the blockade, a Rome missive on religious tides, and comments on U.S. heathens, evangelism, and prison oaths. It references Paris, Louisville Journal anti administration stance, and Lincoln.
