Present Profit and Pleasure in a Fractured Era
A compact 19th century moralizing reflection urges living in the present and not fearing the future.

Political Nonsense and Grasping for Office Certificates
A Washington correspondent taunts Indiana readers with a satirical slice of Indianapolis Journal style writing. The piece lampoons office seekers pledging Lincoln support for patronage, notes a slaveholder’s sharp quip about a razor tax, and reflects on aging, gratitude, and the pursuit of wealth versus benevolence in a humorous, moralizing tone.
Look Before You Speak. Amusing town incident told
A nameless town tale recounts a droll doorbell incident where a lady’s prankish plan backfired on a pastor. Other short vignettes include caucus banter in Racine, a baby’s travel from heaven, a court guardian quip, and a clergyman misreading a hymn as life’s shadow.

The fragment recalls a cobwebbed garret with a familiar spinning wheel and old trunks that revive twenty years of memory. Vivid scenes of a kitchen, apple trees, and farmyard life return as the mind replays childhood through sensory details and nostalgic sentiment.
