Being Some Personal Adventures in the Far West[2] The love of Christmas is as strong in the West as it is in any section of the country–perhaps, indeed, stronger, for people who have few pleasures cherish holidays more highly than those for whom many cheap amusements are provided.

Words by Music by CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY. ALSOP LEFFINGWELL. Moderato.

Being a Word of Much Needed Advice Christmas is the birthday of our Lord, upon which we celebrate God’s ineffable gift of Himself to His children. No human soul has ever been able to realize the full significance of that gift, no heart has ever been glad enough to contain the joy of it, and […]

We are accustomed to regard our country as peculiarly law-abiding and peaceful. This, in spite of the fact that three presidents have been murdered within the last forty-five years, a record of assassination of chief magistrates surpassed in no other land, not even in Russia. We need not be surprised to learn that in no […]

Among marine disasters there is none more extraordinary in character or more appalling in consequence, than the loss of the whaleship Essex. The Essex was a well-found whaler of two hundred and thirty-eight tons. James Pollard was her captain, with Owen Chase and Matthew Joy as mates. Six of her complement of twenty were Negroes. […]
