A florid poem recounts a rider’s exhilaration and memory as horses thunder across fields. Lines praise speed, escape, and the pull of the past, juxtaposing desert imagery, fences, and pastoral plains with nostalgia for youth and the thrill of motion. The voice wanders between reverie and resolve, ending with August notes on Ole and New.
A fragment from the Albany Argus notes changing public sentiment since 1872. It cites the Detroit wired girl ring and a dog-fight with babies as curiosities, comments on waltz definitions, and details electoral gains for the opposition in twenty-one states, with seven remaining Republican. The piece shifts to measuring party revolts and lists the seven still allied to the Republicans.
A verbose political forecast from the era predicts a strong opposition wave next fall across many states led by Republicans and Democrats alike. The page also parodies editorials with jokey notes about an old gander, a runaway wife, a barber shop, and other miscellany including exotic wildlife, odd ads, and humorous anecdotes from Washington and Duluth.
On a sunny icebound afternoon at a historic riverfront mansion Kate Dexter contemplates two suitors, Dick and Tom, weighing money, silence, and heart with witty talk and hidden strength. Cousins Dick and Tom circle the question as Mat the nurse helps with supper and the scene transitions from skating to domestic care.
At a snowy Christmas gathering, Grandfather Dexter's tale of a vengeful governess unsettles kin. Kate tests two suitors, Dick and Tom, by dressing as the ghost. Dick fears the spectral nurse while Tom resilience saves the night by comforting the governess, revealed as harmless prank. The household laughs at the dollhouse fright become a warm family ending.
A moral exhortation urges kindness over cold social rituals, praising warm words and open affection. It rebukes fashion and externals, urging true nobility of heart and mind to speak, love, and be generous, then lightly comments on women and smoking preferences.
