A reflective poem laments endless yearning and disillusionment with hope. The speaker contrasts dreams of love and joy with the sparseness of actual happiness, likening hope to dew on morning blossoms and noting sorrow born from waiting and longing. The piece echoes the newspaper’s literary passages style from Atlanta.
In old Ireland a feared duelist Captain Fenton opposes a gifted young subaltern, triggering a deadly meadow duel. An elderly farmer Mr. Martin intervenes and faces Fenton to save the youth, but the fight ends with Fenton slain and a mail coat revealed as protection.
Mary Jones the housemaid in a seaside Hastings lodging house saves a drowning young woman after losing a latchkey. The act earns praise, a generous offer from the young lady’s father, and a hopeful future with the baker’s son as Mary and her partner start a new life in Hastings.
Brief item noting dialog from a stage piece with Mr Benedict forbidding writing talking or smoking to avoid waking a baby and Mrs Benedict suggesting rocking the cradle. It cites the Boston Times and the New York Sun with quoted lines about a despondent man and a seller of good humor.
A fragmentary, old style quip filled with invented dialects and surreal imagery speaks of a night so dark it erases faces and even streetcars. The piece is a collage of whimsical fears, odd dialect notes, and exaggerated anecdotes, ending with a childlike bedtime exchange about stories and happiness.
A streetcar scene shows a businesslike woman noting a statistic for a special article. She confirms one gentleman in car 640 and steps off, while snippets from humorous columns and cartoons reveal playful exchanges about objects pleasing to the eye and changed fortunes since an extradition treaty.
