A narrator wanders April scenery near an old bridge and depot where a girl named Mary Griswold awaits her father, a captain returning from the Civil War. The moment of reunion, tender exchanges, and shared gratitude reveal hopeful family strength as spring returns to the landscape.
The speaker urges forward looking enjoyment is not paid. True happiness comes from accepting daily drops of happiness from God. The boy learns to be content while studying, the apprentice while learning, and the merchant while building fortune to avoid missing enjoyment.
Captain Boggs of the gunboat Veruna reports a perilous April 1863 action where the squadron passed Confederate forts under heavy fire. The Verona and other ironclads fought fiercely, destroying several enemy steamers, with the Veruna sinking after aiding in the battle and carrying dispatches to Gen. Butler. The account also recounts temperance anecdotes and political notes from Washington.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reader learns Hancock’s action was a minor skirmish with 20 to 30 casualties and four regiments engaged.
