Poem reflects on flowers as memory’s companions from youth to death. It traces lovers, bridal morn, and a mother’s grave, noting flowers never falter in sorrow or memory. It urges gentleness to strangers, as unseen grief flows within each heart.
A call to unite for total abstinence pledges against intoxicating liquors. The author argues drunkenness wrecks families, especially women, causing misery, disease, and death. Citing 30 000 annual deaths and 70 000 female relatives affected, the piece urges a broad citizens' movement to curb alcohol and protect vulnerable innocence.

The Temp. Advocate notes a defendant who admitted drunkenness and claimed he was not fit to enter the lists with the Judge. Friends found him and he said he had too much sense to be caught in such a scrape, praising the Haynes sense of the man.
The prospectus outlines Vol. VII of Jain American Phrenological Journal framing phrenology as a guide to human nature and society.
