Poem describes Death entering a sunlit chamber and stealing a sleeping woman. The scene portrays a sacred, angelic dwelling left quiet and bereaved as music, light, and color fade. A mournful tone highlights the loss of beauty and former life.
The piece condemns profane and reckless talking as unbecoming of a gentleman and linked to wider moral decline. It urges moderation in speech, dress, and conduct, noting that newspapers echo this ill tone and urging self control to avoid harm and social disapproval.
A Chicago Journal passage praises aged volumes over modern dress, cherishing margins, handwriting, and the companionship of old books. It notes the charm of well-worn bindings, the dignity of traditional typography, and the joy of carrying a book everywhere without fragility.
Earnest words from parents, teachers, and the press urge young readers to heed warnings and adopt piety. The Vittack Press is praised for boosting village commerce and civic life, while motherhood is hailed as the guiding force shaping a soldier’s memory and lifelong virtue.
A dulled hearing misinterprets a talk about Life Illustrated by Fowler Wells as Life frustrated by foul air in wells. The piece notes a sympathetic view of a troubled world filled with various gases. An Irishman’s quip about a wall 3 feet high and 4 feet wide jokes that when it falls it will be a foot higher than before.
A clergyman at a tea gathering tries to prove future rewards with a cake mishap as a dog devours it. Quips compare life’s slips, philosophy, and jokes from LF and Down East Lyceum about manners, faith, and human nature.
A poetic meditation on wind making music from trees, bells, chimneys, and the sea as a living performer. Then a crowded eating-house tale of a lean man betting on a ten pound turkey and ending with the snob paying dearly for two whiskey-toddy drinks after losing the wager.
A Knickerbocker correspondent recounts a household tale where burnt alum is used on a child's lip and a spankings scene leads to a cheeky remark about curing a mother's heartbreak. The piece paints a lively portrait of Paul the two and a half year old and his mischievous family.
The line uses a provocative image linking a Black baby to danger from cholera, reflecting a biased and inflammatory view. It frames a Black child as a symbol of threat, reinforcing racial stereotypes without factual context.
A young, ragged boy visits a celebrated school principal seeking an audience. The servant dismisses him, but the boy proves himself capable, answering questions with ease. The principal praises him, saying he learned in his spare moments, and warns that many youths waste theirs leading to crime. Spare moments determine futures, for good or ill. A second piece reflects on a tuft of green grass growing through a knot hole on a sidewalk, praising inner sympathy and humanity amid rough life.
A Dutchman narrates a strange fall from a tree in an Apple Orchard while describing a clumsy climb to harvest beech nuts. A nearby eighteen year old visitor to Columbus Ohio mourns a mockingbird death and attempts self harm with scissors. An artist paints a scene where a cow and cabbage appear so natural they must be separated.
