Bread Returned to the Man in Poverty
Jacob Manfred, once prosperous, faces ruin as embargoes sink his shipping business. His wife Susan fears the poor house, but a former ward, Lucius Williams, whom Manfred once saved from crime, returns as a benefactor, offering shelter and gratitude. The couple’s faith is renewed as bread figuratively returns.

Wit and Warnings from a Rabelaisian Sage
A satirical miscellany imagines a wary citizen railing against chance and fools. It rails at office seekers and lottery reliance, praises discretion, and quips about jurists. The piece closes with a Cleveland butcher tale and a statistician’s jibe on life insurance age questions.
