A dated 1858 elegy reflects on love and impending death. The speaker bids farewell to a beloved, confessing longing, delay, and the ache of separation as life nears its end. Images of sleep, dawn, and mortality frame a solemn lyric of devotion and acceptance.
A dense reminiscence recounts Whitewater’s growth from frontier village to developing town, naming key figures like Rufus Cheney Jr and E. F. Tarr, local enterprises, banks, schools, and the Farmers and Mechanics Club. It covers railroads, court cases, population shifts, tax data, and social virtues amid a national financial crisis. The piece also critiques a proposed state debt plan tied to Milwaukee rail projects, arguing it would unjustly shift burden and threaten constitutional safeguards.
From the Grean Way Advocate the piece unveils a proposed state debt shift tied to Southern railroad indebtness. Signatories include citizens of high repute whose approval elevates the plan yet implies a bold public financial scheme. The writer condemns the move as a social crime beyond legitimate debate.
A fragment recalls a wedding scene where two suitors Mr G and Mr M each claimed Miss B in marriage at the bride’s home. The clergyman proposed a public choice by the bride who ultimately selected the preferred groom, with the scene ending as the ceremony proceeded amid guests and surprise. The narration shifts to a political note from Cherry Creek about a congressional election and a plan to form a new territory named La Framie, with Judge Douglas preparing a political declaration for 1860.
