Excerpt from Omaha and Omaha Men I became a resident of Omaha in 1870 and lived here for many years. Here I was married, here our four children were born and here one of them died. After an absence of a number of years, and having sold a newspaper business in Oregon and thus being footloose, I concluded to return to Omaha and publish something of a history of the city I first saw as a boy and when it was a very small community. I found that a...

Excerpt from Bell's Classical Arrangement of Fugitive Poetry, Vol. 8 Silent and clear, through yonder peaceful vale, While Marne's slow waters weave their mazy way. See, to th' exulting sun, and fost'ring gale, What boundless treasures his rich banks display! Fast by the stream, and at the mountain's base, The lowing herds through living pastures rove: Wide-waving harvests crown the rising space: And still superior nods the viny grove. H...

Neither reason nor conviction totally destroys hope, while it is a duty to adopt the most probable means of recovering health, however unlikely to succeed,...
