A lyrical excerpt from Fanny E. Johnson in Youth's Companion describes dawn awakening the earth from winter, hawthorn blossoms on a distant hill, shadows along streams, swallows and bluebirds in chorus, and a sense of peace beyond measure fueling quiet hearts.
An Irish coast scene on Carrigeen cliffs features Old Meehan and his granddaughter Noreen sharing Carrigeen moss lore. The sheannachie recounts Feargus the Swarthy and a sea princess who gives moss as famine food, then Noreen offers a strand of her hair as a keepsake to the sea princess, seeking a blessing.
A poem about charms and loyalty contrasts with a humorous tale from the Chicago Chronicle about a newspaper's joke prize.

The two pieces mix folklore verse with a newsroom anecdote on humor and money.
A Philadelphia man recounts an odd incident on a Reading-bound express train where two women, traveling on a pass in a gentleman and wife’s name, asked a polite stranger to escort one as a wife substitute. He agreed, selecting the younger woman, and later worried the tale might leak home, but it did not.
