A narrative balances poetry of a river voyage with a rail journey anecdote. The speaker recalls longing by the river and a ghostly boatman, then recounts a lost ticket misadventure on a train and a comic escapade involving a wallet, tolls, a barber, and a razor proxy for meals. It ends with a moral about not keeping railway tickets in a wallet.
A ten year old dying daughter asks how much she costs the father and suggests he spend the money on Bibles for poor children in her memory. The father vows to do so every year, feeling a heavenly joy as he and his daughter become co workers for a noble act. The tale ends with the child’s release and the father’s grateful triumph.
The Methodist Recorder condemns habitual late attendance as disrespectful and disruptive to worship. It labels latecomers as drones and disruptors, urging immediate reform to preserve solemn worship and order in church.
The Great Eastern delivers the shore end of the new Atlantic Cable to Heart's Content for laying on the 1896 route. The 1896 length is 1,896 miles from Valentia to Newfoundland, running parallel to the 1865 path with repairs planned 268 miles from Valentia after the Sydney cable is laid.
A humorous, opinionated note outlines seasonal pests like potato beetles, flies, mosquitoes, and grasshoppers, predicting a busy summer for extermination plans. It adds a fanciful tale of a baggage smasher between Philadelphia and Cape May, whose antics spark a thwarted owner’s attempt to remove the culprit’s ears.
An early 19th century style piece describes a mentally distressed young woman, a physician’s reaction, and a tale of a dog during a preacher’s sermon. It closes with Horace F Clark’s funeral as a critique of wealth and friendship, noting a dead man valued at eight million dollars and the social emptiness wealth can bring.
Mr Shaw of Poughkeepsie, praised in the Poughkeepsie Eagle, earns 100 dollars weekly from the New York Weekly and Carleton's, plus 1500 dollars and three cents per copy for dedicating his Almanac to the Weekly publishers and 1300 dollars and two cents per copy for dedicating the second. He is now worth 41000 cents clear of all debts.
A collage of short items and wry observations from daily life. Jests about time and aging mix with odd anecdotes, industry quips, and brief moral notes.
