A sentimental reminiscence of a father and child enduring loss. The speaker recalls loved ones crossing the dark river to a hopeful afterlife, while the speaker and the father wait by the hearth and prepare to join them beyond the stormy tide. The poem cherishes family bonds and enduring faith.
Nellie and Dora scheme a playful deception on a handsome stranger they mistake for her brother Fred. The ruse backfires when Fred appears alive as Nellie’s presumed kin, leading to a wedding between Nellie and Archie Winters within six months and a later invitation to Dora and Fred’s wedding.
A stormy winter day in 39 leads a narrator to meet a Prussian Mason stranded by a train. They communicate by gesture, share hospitality, and a strong fraternal bond forms despite language barriers. A year later the Prussian Minister visits and presents a gold watch with the hailing sign engraved, symbolizing enduring gratitude.
A Lambertville Beacon correspondent recalls a tavern porch tale where a king’s philosopher is upstaged by a rustic jackass. The jackass’s ears prick out rain and the king replaces the philosopher with the beast, declaring “every jackass wants an office.” The item also cites a Trapper’s Weekly survey on how foods affect bodies and a Turkish edict tale about Jews and cotton caps, plus a Sweden note on soldiers in civil labor and waitering.
The Bucyrus Journal editor quotes a circulating paragraph about a South traveler's etiquette with stockings and discreet attentions to a lady traveling alone. It also satirizes a livery stable keeper who warns against speeding to a funeral procession and ends with a French joke about whales and bread prices.
The passage describes a self regulating household alarm system with bells reacting to doors, bells for bells, and a thermometer as a weather cue. It also notes frost resistance of peach trees in stone covered ground and ends with a Chattanooga Union anecdote about a sleeping passenger in a railroad wreck and satirical quips on dignity and social behavior.
