A Methodist pastor in lower Sussex county Delaware writes of a Spring Garden State Philadelphia lecture by Dr D Green.

A stylized reminiscence by a wealthy man who, despite a fortune over a million, recalls the simplest joy of early life. He saved $800 at 21, bought a cottage outside the city, married on a June Sunday, and found heaven in his kitchen with his wife. He values that moment over all wealth.
A speaker recalls giving a woman twenty two small remedies for melancholy each promising simple joy. One recalls bright fire and kind words, another a sugar plums box on the chimney and a kettle on the hob. The author concludes such trifling pleasures can banish gloom better than grand aims.
