Simplicity and character in daily life and study
A collection of maxims on simplicity, virtue, and virtue’s rewards. It extols plain speech, open-mindedness, good breeding, cheerful temper, and patience while warning against fault-finding, overreliance on opinions, and chasing many tasks at once. It emphasizes progress through steady toil and wise actions for society’s present and future.
Noted Arkansaw Juror and Moral Observations From Print
A fragment from a 19th century column blends a juror story in which an Arkansaw man dodges service with a judge’s rebuke, followed by moral reflections on toil and faith. The piece cites Dr. Talmage and Dr. Oyler noting God’s sympathy for workers, the load of bricks, miners, sailors, factory girls, and sewing women, urging casting burdens on the Lord.
