A long piece combines inebriety moralizing with comic reminiscence by Artemus Ward. It rails against drinking and its harm to families, quotes a physician’s diphtheria cure, then features Ward’s humorous self portrait and anecdotes from Baldinsville Indiana and Maine roots, ending with a request for a portrait.
The camphor tree, a major Chinese resource, grows astonishingly large with reported heights over 300 feet and a trunk up to 20 feet in girth. Chinese methods yield camphor by steam and sublimation, while wood serves in building and furniture, noted for light color and durability.
The Appeal announces weekly publication and outlines payment terms for ads. Rates start at one square for ten lines and increase per insertion with discounts for yearly use. Obituary notices over five lines and all political candidate notices have specified charges.
Directory lists court sessions by month and civil suit thresholds with filing deadlines. It also lists regular lodge meetings for Knights of Honor and Masonic chapters in Fort Gaines with officers and meeting times.
A meditation on inner warfare between vice and virtue waged on the breast. The demon army led by Pride Lust and Hate clashes with a divine host led by Faith Hope and Love. A cross on the Christlike leader’s chest signals strength from divine power as believers endure to victory.
A sentimental sketch extols the impulse to summon maternal aid in sickness trouble and infancy while noting the humor and humility of mothers answering the call across generations. It reflects on childhood memories and the enduring faith that God will send for mother when needed. It also weaves in a household remedy and farm wisdom about cultivating flowers and a happy home.
A satirical set of tips urging women to reject pretensions and focus on virtue. It mocks snobbery of Miss Fuss and Feathers, with cautions about dress, scent, and social conduct. The piece ends with a riddle about a bald head and a cure for croup using alum and sugar.
A midcentury admonition urges boys to leave street corners and stables for home or productive play. It extols a spacious playground, orderly crews, and punctuality, warning that loitering fosters sloth and bad habits while praising wholesome, earnest activity. It also notes shifts in manners from France and hints at early home pest control folklore.
A 19th century essay exhorts moral reform to end mass hardship. It denounces vice, dishonest merchants, and political corruption while urging committees of citizens to combat rascality and build honest industries, ending with a rural anecdote and a note on seed corn treatment.
A miscellany of quips and anecdotes: quotes on folly and foresight, remarks from Washington Territory, social foibles, humorous exchanges, and a note on Southern progress praising Columbus, Georgia for cotton factory growth. Includes jests about lawyers, education, fashion, and temperance style cures.
