Summary: "St. Nicholas, Vol. 5, No. 4, February 1878" by Various is a periodical publication intended for children, aligned with the literary style seen in the late 19th century. This volume features a collection of stories, poems, and illustrations meant to entertain and educate a youthful audience. The contents reflect a mix of imaginative tales and moral lessons, appealing to the curiosity and values of children during that era. The opening portion of this issue begins with a whimsical poem titled "The Shepherd-Boy" by Emily S. Oakey. In this piece, we are introduced to a young shepherd named Roy who tends to his sheep and cows in a vibrant, dream-like pasture that exists only in his imagination. Though his environment is mundane and ordinary, the richness of his experiences and the beauty of his thoughts transform it into a fantastical realm. The excerpt encapsulates themes of childhood innocence, imagination, and the transformative power of seeing the world through a child's eyes. Another story follows about a boy named Gottlieb, who is training among the choristers. His experience is filled with challenges and the pursuit of perfection as he seeks approval from his choir-master, which illuminates the struggles and emotions faced by children when striving for excellence.
