A column of aphorisms and witticisms by Henry Blount filled with pithy lines about truth, virtue, laughter, and life. It lampoons pretension, extols moral fortitude, and reflects on human folly with playful metaphors and pointed observations.
A birthday meditation recalls memory’s voyage through joys and sorrows. The author reflects on sins forgiven, acts of kindness, and life’s bright, stormy seas balanced by faith and hope in heavenly solace. Gratitude and comfort follow, urging trust in divine peace.
A long narrative recalls a winter electrical night on a crowded New York bound train where a distressed father struggles with a crying child. The piece blends a vivid railway scene with a sermon urging Sabbath observance and faith, plus a humorous mock essay about dogs and canine lore.
A lyric description of a woman whose eyes shine like night stars and whose smile dims the stars. The verse praises her music like silver bells and eolian harps, her steps as delicate as a snowflake, and her lips described with vivid romantic comparison, ending in a note of ice melting into misery.
George bumped into a woman who complained he treated her as a door. He apologized by calling her sweet and pretty enough to be adorable. He claims a dose of taffy cures a woman's temper and keeps a bottle ready to avoid abuse.
A curious note about Mary and her lamp ends with a playful nod to kerosene and benzine. The vignette hints at risk and whimsy in a domestic scene with light as its central motif.
A sermon warns that minor indiscretions grow from a trickle into vast harm. It likens tiny acts and whispered insinuations to leaks, pebbles spawning storms, and ripples that flood reputation, hearts, and futures, turning calm lives into clouds of reproach.
