Christmas Hatchets and Silent Prayers Across a Farm

In a Christmas reminiscence from a rural home, children recount two wooden hatchets given to siblings despite a girl’s protest, and a plan to keep them safe. The tale shifts to a wife recalling courtship, marriage, and building a small happy home with Frank, while an evening guest, a young minister, joins the family as festive greetings pass between relatives and friends.

Battles of Birds and Insects in Historic Pamphlets

A fragment from a British pamphlet describes a twelfth century scene at Shene near Richmon a gnats cloud fighting to cover the ground with dead, one third killed, then dispersing. It also recounts starlings near Cork and near Gravesend Woolwich in England, with birds forming rival camps, feeding apart, and a Sunday division before fierce battles resume. The text cites observations by Huber on nonhuman warfare and a translated account of virid war between Dule and Salines with mass casualties and organized troop movements.
