A satirical poem critiques money worship and charity in 1872. The piece, credited to Bo. Ht, 1872, contrasts wealth with virtue and mocks the blinding power of money in society and religion. It references figures like Benard Beecher and a broad urban scene.
A long reflective tale follows Margaret Amyrillis in a prairie home. Her English husband is weak, she labors to keep family, faith, and dignity amid poverty sickness and social strain while a potential suitor Beckons with a hopeful offer of marriage and security.
A western farmer named Jick Waren wed a little English lady and saw a guiding halo in her head, described as a star leading upward. The exchange includes a grateful reply from the girl and remarks about a look deeper than any preacher's sermon.
A letter from New York reproduces an Harper's Bazaar report describing a nine year old girl punished for geography recitation, leading to severe illness and death.

It also covers gold market fluctuations, cotton receipts, real estate in Savannah, and various local notices, with commentary on politics and social issues of the era.
