A blouse of moral reflection on money and comfort. The essay argues wealth cannot buy true happiness, urging inner change of heart as the path to real contentment. It contrasts sorrowful envy with cheerful virtue, cites biblical counsel to seek God’s righteousness first, and warns worldly riches fade.
In Delaware Frame the Watchman details Wallace Blake a sixteen year old youth who finds a bank position through his mother's sacrifices and a friend’s help. A series of temptations following sharp turns leads to a bank robbery plan that Wallace resists, guided by Christian faith and his mother’s influence, while Augustus Hartley pursues wealth through risky schemes.
The piece extols singing as a healthful exercise for children, noting it strengthens vocal and physical health and improves voice and modulations. It then shifts to a domestic scene about Wallace and Mrs. Blake, exploring love, wealth, social expectations, and a financial deficit revealed at a bank, leading to tension with family loyalties.
An agricultural notice discusses vegetation-free soil erosion risks and how heavy tilling harms roots. It compares soil conditions to experiment-like garden plots and stresses careful examination of grass breadth, root spread, and the impact on crops. The author notes weather effects, plowing damage, and advice from a farmer about soil and grain yields.
The text compiles remarks on a cheap method for preserving timber against rot and a lengthy Radical-era political speech by B F Wade. It juxtaposes technical notes on wood treatment with debates over states rights, slavery, and constitutional powers. The piece references Hon. W. Puirfield, May and Taylor, and discussions of fugitive slave laws and territorial rights.
