An extended dialogue on temperance contrasts zeal and prudence. Speakers warn that strong drink wrecks body and soul, urging readers to resist intoxication, while acknowledging flaws in both sides. The piece ties individual restraint to broader social ruin and future reform.
The article discusses ancient burial practices including feet facing the path, directions in circular and triangular plots, and variations by cemetery layout. It notes how plots in double tiers align oppositely, how circular plots center on monuments, and that most lots favor feet to the path regardless of compass points, with east-facing burials still possible by lot choice. It also references New York undertakers and periodic shifts toward cemetery outskirts due to urban growth.
The article surveys repeated end of world predictions from ancient times to the 19th century. It cites astrologers and prophets like Abbe Durpin and Baxter, notes how comets sparked alarm, and quotes Camille Flammarion on misread portents. A closing quip remarks on a sheriff auction revealing a man’s true worth.

The column also notes Rheumacide claims, Christmas toy industries, a dyspepsia cure, and a sensational read request, plus diverse bits on babies, witch hazel salve, Bible verses, a Marquette arrest, tumbler glasses origins, and a vast tally of global undersea cables totaling 175000 miles.
