The Appeal lists advertisement rules with rates and conditions for placement. It notes payment required with orders, deadlines, and penalties for late payment, plus pricing for obituaries over five lines and political notices, and states that all letters to the proprietor will be answered promptly.
A reflective piece extols modern sight for peering into space and the microcosm. It notes the telescope and microscope reveal vast celestial realms and minute yeasts, animalcules, and disease agents, urging humility before nature and the interrelated economy of creation.
A rambling tale opens with a rustic yarn about courting mishaps ending in a tumble from a kitchen window and a chase by animals. It shifts to a meditation on Death visiting every family and then honors a mother’s pure unselfish love, memory, and the community's grief. The piece blends a comic coming‑of‑age anecdote with elegiac reflection on motherhood and sacrifice.
A reprinted admonition urges husbands to disclose financial state to wives to avert debt. It argues wives can assist with plans and retrenchment, and that ignorance worsens crises. Also includes home remedies for styes and moth prevention tips with simple mixtures and storage instructions.
Rev Czsar Cole derides Darwin and argues against ape ancestry in a fiery lecture on origins, asking who the “monkey man” is and railing at scientific theory with biblical claim. The piece includes comic bits about a two cent fool, a Plutarch quote on hogs, a Louisianan anecdote, and remarks on women’s attachments, all in a lively 19th century frame.
An old essay urges young men to abandon dependence on fathers and join the workforce with hard labor from dawn, promising manhood and ambition. Features brief vignettes include Rufus Stephens on wartime spending, a mule joke about Irish peddlers, a girl announcing a new litter, and a Dubuque boy’s pepper prank and quip about a liquor shop.
