A discussion on home etiquette urges kindness and politeness within the family. It argues that saying please and thank you sweetens relationships, improves children's behavior, and shapes character. The piece links small daily acts to lasting happiness and humane conduct.
A collected miscellany of moral tales and curiosities from a 19th century periodical. It contrasts a harsh upbringing with disciplined education, then shifts to practical health advice on avoiding colds, reflections on tears and sentiment, a Dublin optic mystery, a ghostly tale from Limerick, a Newfoundland dog rescuing his crew, social quirks of speech among enslaved communities, and a mix of humorous anecdotes and rural wisdom.
The piece urges John, Jill, and Sam to finish long delayed farm tasks before spring work begins. It lists repairs in the barn and fields, such as replacing a gate post, mending a fence and wagon, securing loose boards, and tidying tools to avoid chaos when busy work arrives.
A fragmented 19th century column recounts a nuptial tragedy in which a wealthy heiress is deceived, a mother reappears to claim the bride, a murder scene follows, and the bride is found dead by poison in the nuptial chamber. The text also references a Louisiana gentleman, a Northward escape, and a court note by Judge Holobohen. Additional items include a Boston tax joke on fashion and a King of Siam proposal, plus brief remarks on Commodore Fouté and a northern church anecdote.
A long miscellany on childrearing ethics urges firmness with gentleness, prompt punishment for disobedience, no punishment in anger, and teaching practical skills. It contrasts parental gratitude with youth ingratitude, notes consequences after parental death, and cites varied anecdotes from scientific and social commentary about manners, gender, and virtue.
The piece lampoons Confederate leaders and moralizes on treason and loyalty, comparing U S figures to birds and calling Rebel officials foul birds. It mocks Fort Donelson defense, notes undermining Nashville river bluffs, and urges vigilance as gunboats approach Glaksvilly and the enemy lines.
A tour of the Duke of Devonshire’s domains reveals vast grounds and a 3,000 acre park surrounding the palace with a 25 acre vegetable garden and extensive glasshouses. The tropical conservatory spans an acre, stands 100 feet high, and costs 300,000 pounds. Banana trees rise 20 feet, and palm trees reach 50 to 66 feet, while a giant fountain shoots water 274 feet high. Also noted is a new electric board dress concept for Empress Eugenie.
