Weekly Gazette prints a sentimental Christmas poem by Charles Wm. Butler praising bells that chime through the season. It envisions bells restoring memory, goodwill, and harmony across land and town, urging a timeless song of peace.
A curate and his wife walk with their companion Joe through moonlit ruins on Christmas Eve. Joe reveals legends of spirits and ghosts haunting the castle, tied to a wicked noble’s clan and a cottage where a kind daughter once lived. The trio debates investigating the lore despite Joe’s fear.
A narrator recounts a fairy tale of a beautiful young woman at a castle where a cruel lord forces a marriage.

The tale ends with caution that evil deeds bring punishment and a moral about worthiness.
