Occasionally I may have corrected some too gross public misstatement about me—too often I fear with the ace...

THE NARRATIVE OF WILLIAM WELLS BROWN, A FUGITIVE SLAVE

WILLIAM WELLS BROWN

Thirteen years ago, I came to your door, a weary fugitive from chains and stripes. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was hungry, and you fed me. Naked was I, and you clothed me. Even a name by which to be known among men, slavery had denied me. You bestowed upon me your own. Base indeed should I be, if I ever forget what I owe to you, or do anything to disgrace that honor...

AN OUTLINE OF HUMOR BEING A TRUE CHRONICLE FROM PREHISTORIC AGES TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

CAROLYN WELLS

Excerpt: "Being a True Chronicle From Prehistoric Ages to the Twentieth Century". Speaking exactly, an Outline of the World’s Humor is an impossibility. For surely the adjectives most applicable to humor are elusive, evasive, evanescent, ephemeral, intangible, imponderable, and other terms expressing unavailability. To outline such a thing is like trying to trap a sunbeam or bo...

PATTY AT HOME

CAROLYN WELLS

In this sequel to "Patty Fairfield", she sets up housekeeping for her father and sometimes succeeds, sometimes makes a mess of things. A small amount of "household management by example (good and bad)" didacticism goes down smoothly.
