A fragmentary poem by Louise Chandler Motlton speaks to the dead and divine power. The speaker asks heaven to hear prayers and grant comfort, lamenting earthly pain while imagery shifts to a heavenly throne and the Atlantic is mentioned.
In a smoky railcar a narrator recalls being restrained by a masked member and examined by a surgeon type figure. A tense escape follows as the car moves and the narrator remains bound, pondering the strange discourse on anatomy and civilization while violence and fear punctuate the scene.
Fragments describe nature as a cordial influence on health and virtue. A narrator wanders twilight woods, seeking calm and renewal, asserting nature can shelter from calamity and illuminate reason in life.
A Boston area article reviews the will of a printer, praising his generosity. He leaves to former employees, friends, and workers, sums from 100 to 3000 dollars, and substantial bequests to schools, hospitals, and relatives. The piece notes his equity toward laborers and urges others to study this example in disposing of property.
A Cincinnati woman recounts a troubled marriage to William Warner begun in youth. She describes abuse, illness, and a wish for independence learned during her convalescence before she died at a Bush’s residence after illness and care from kind locals. Her statements frame a tragic end and a plea for own livelihood. The London disaster report adds a parallel railroad wreck with multiple fatalities and wreckage details.
A London incident reveals Angelina Brown, seeking hair dye to a golden shade, fell victim to a fraudulent ad scheme. She purchased a dye claimed to imitate natural tone, lost most of her hair after use, and faced legal advice suggesting consulting a solicitor. The tale serves as a caution about exploiting beauty trends and risky products.
A London Quarterly piece muses on dogs memory and imagination. It notes dogs distinguish tramp from gentleman, guard treasures, imitate quarrels, and recall master memories. The essay argues dog behavior aligns with direct perception and adaptive learning, with poetic but cautious reflections.
The readable fragments discuss unconscious processes and perception, hinting at a theory of normal states versus heightened awareness. It mentions sensations, neural activity, and the idea that nature may influence conscious experience, with an emphasis on internal sense and mental focus.
A Philadelphia born miser, John Pasemore fe Mo, built a fortune by oyster and fruit trade scams and exploitative bonds, living in squalor while hoarding wealth. He died near a million in PA, leaving a will that excludes two siblings and minimizes charitable acts, validated against a late alteration as void.
D W Kauffman of Des Moines argues ashes are worth one dollar per bushel for fruit trees and would not help his own ashes at that price. He has used ash mulch for fifteen years with no borers seen.

Canada Farmer notes ashes could boost garden and farm yields tenfold.
A Rochester Rural Home note discusses a timber lot shelter on H B Norton's Genesee county farm.
