A Little Crib and a Story of Love and Law
A collage of domestic verse and comic tale fragments, including a graveyard hush, a dentist misstep, an Idaho divorce judge tale, a comic New Orleans bridal misadventure, and a mixing of social morals. The piece shifts to a moral on tidiness and home life, urging orderly habits, children’s play, and cheerful rooms as foundations of happiness.
Do Teeth Last Lifetimes and Temperance Notes
A Victorian miscellany argues that proper nutrition shapes teeth, noting mothers lack essential minerals in common foods and that natural, varied diets produce strong teeth across species. The London Temperance Star urges abstaining from drink to protect health and reform society, ending with Beecher’s quip about the Grave as the only easy place. It also includes a light anecdote on mispronounced names and public misinterpretations.

Obedient dog and office clash amid odd anecdotes
In an exchange at a dockside office a dog is kept to guard a stranger’s belongings until the boat departs, while a clerk orders the animal removed. The item then shifts to literary biographical quips about Robert Dexter-King of the New York Ledger and a General Bidcum anecdote about Bull Run, plus a note on Andrew Johnson pardoning counterfeiters and a legacy gift urging Charles Dickens to read Pickwick.
