A fragmentary poem advice piece urges resisting temptation and keeping virtue. It emphasizes driving the tempter from sight and avoiding harsh words in youth. The text blends moral guidance with imperfect spelling and phrasing.
In winter in St Petersburg a Russian party hosted a masquerade where the narrator, warned by Count Valdimer of danger, plans to flee with his family. With a friend’s aid they swap clothes and prepare a hidden exit exploiting a ride to the frontier while the Count and wife impersonate them to avoid suspicion. The idea is to safeguard the family and guarantee safe passage amid fear of arrest.
An English merchant recounts a perilous journey with two daughters disguised as Poles to evade Russian authorities. Facing wolves, freezing cold, and a fallen tree, they improvise with a lantern mask and rope to survive. Ivan, a faithful servant, guides a daring river crossing plan to safety near Mereth and Paris.
The author tours Deal’s bakery in Rivenowp and visits the Janecln and Howard Schools, freedmen education sites run by Miss Forster, Miss Angel, and others with New Dayland’s Freedmen’s Aid Society. Two hundred pupils monthly attend evenings four times a week, with rooms lit by tin lamps and walls lined with engravings of Lincoln and Sumner.
A young boy named George seeks work in a crowded office after his parents are gone. Clerks mock him until a kind bookkeeper helps, giving him money and urging self reliance. George declines the bribe, explains he must earn to help his aunt, and grows into a noted artist, illustrating lessons of independence and perseverance.
A Chicago Journal correspondent in Palestine describes disillusionment with desolation and Bedouin politics. He recalls biblical sites in Jerusalem, notes high Jordan visiting fees, and compares ancient walls and stones to Chicago artifacts while reflecting on the faded metropolis once home to a mighty nation.
A critique of hair fashion mocks extravagant styles that distort a woman’s head and beauty. It argues natural, Grecian-inspired hair arrangements best preserve grace and urges women to value nature over vanity. The article then notes Oxford University Legland scholars examining female education and its failure to engage girls beyond marriage expectations.
A young contributor's essay discusses oxen and horses, noting ground breaking work, horse scarcity, and wagon use. It muses on oxen versus horses, wheelbarrows, and cows, with playful, imperfect spelling. The piece reflects rural life and peasant views in a fragmentary reflection.
A reflective tableau links biblical Sahds of Bethel and Mt Zion with modern settlements, noting immovable patterns among tribes and travelers. It likens Syrmap and Bethany to ancient sites, recalling Mary, Martha, Simon the leper, and Judas in a meditative travelogue of faith and continuity.
A miscellany of quips and anecdotes on women’s fashions, intellect, and manners. Stories reference a young widow instructor, a doctor’s blunt remark about brains and hats, bachelors’ habits, dress critiques, female printers funding Artemus Ward, a beauty insurer, ghosts, and social foibles.
