A sermonish meditation urges gratitude for sleep as a blessing from God and a duty to prepare for it. It warns against neglect, avarice, and neglect of prayer, urging eight hours of undisturbed rest and nightly reflection on mortality and the need for Christ’s blood to cleanse and prepare the soul for judgment.
A long, wandering piece blends reflections on punctuality with humorous anecdotes about waiting for ladies to dress, a tale of Mrs Chalmers and a mock funeral, and asides on society manners. It then shifts to travelogue style notes on Rome’s Coliseum, the Pantheon, and other antiquities, followed by science bits on volcanoes, artesian wells, and thermal springs, closing with religious reflections on Sabbath worship and a hopeful gospel note.
A long, scattered note covers Sabbath observance, public amusements on Sunday, and religious duties, alongside an extended but unclear discussion of eye health practices and their cautions. It also includes reports on Sinope and a Vermont hotel anecdote, with political notices about Nebraska and Kansas and Democratic party positions.
