Poem recalling a lost beloved and memory laden scenes around Ramoth hill, Polly mill woods, and sabbath spring skies. The verse contrasts past joys with current uneventful years and the evergreen moss seat where violets bloom, ending with musings on what memory means to the speaker.
Spring praise fills the page with blossoms and birds in vivid prose, from violets to anemones, arbutus, and clear streams, turning landscape into memory and noting spring’s return before summer’s blaze. A tale closes with a comic medical quip about a sore throat and a stern lot of sarcasm.
A recovered old Arkansas tale recounts a violent legislative fray with brawling members, a head severed in a duel, and the ensuing farewell to a late legislator. It then shifts to a humor piece about an absent minded clergyman and a quack remedy for measles, illustrating frontier wit and misadventure.
Two longtime friends meet after a 35 year separation. They exchange light gossip about marriage and children, noting one man has seven boys and one girl while the other has seven girls and one boy. The exchange underscores playful contrasts in family fortunes.
The article recounts Mrs Larsena A Page recounting her brutal Apache captivity near the Santa Rita Mountains. After her husband left camp, Apaches seized her and a Mexican girl, looted belongings, and subjected Page to repeated torture including lance wounds and an attempted execution. She describes days of grueling travel, exposure, and illness before rescue by workmen near the pinery, finally returning home after sixteen days.
