A dreary earth would lack charm without little people and babies to begin life. The poem argues children soften hearts, keep tenderness in love, and prevent nature and humanity from becoming stoic and cold.
A poetic medley questions if souls will recognize loved ones in heaven and joyfully greets angelic welcomes.

A short Scientific American note advocates onions in sick rooms to absorb poisons and deter disease.

A blend of essays on mental discipline, concentration, and method, plus humorous vignettes.

Also includes a humorous tale from Newark Missouri to New York and moral quips on restraint and honesty.
A posted notice on a wealthy country's farmer’s land warns that any trespassing cows or oxen in the oats will have their tails cut off. The blunt intent reflects anxious farmer oversight and harsh consequences.
A reflective piece on mourning and memory praising the departed as blessings to the soul. It contrasts sacred memories with the lure of summer evenings and old churchyards, then shifts to a critique of fashion norms and the impracticality of long trailing dresses and high heels.
An essay critiques judging people by outward appearances and social status over true character. It argues that honesty and integrity once defined a gentleman, but now wealth and deception blend with virtue, praising plainness of heart over flashy clothes and gold.

It cites a New York Nation note on refined homes marking civilization, contrasting wigwams with parlor culture and the aim to surround hearths with grace.
