Dr Talmage recounts a dream on the anniversary of his son's death, describing a hopeful afterlife where families reunite in heaven, then pivots to a discussion of religious toleration in Maryland. He notes historical acts granting free exercise of religion and reflects on the era's political and social context.
A boy recounts a quarrel over a revised family Bible with advertisements and mottoes from patent medicines. The tale blends a slapstick sled ride, a sleet accident, and a glowing but flawed sense of providence as the father endures mishaps and plans for skating next week.
A fragment from Pecks Sun describes a boy with a kind guardian figure and remarks on fathers, a grocery man’s certainty, and a boy leaving with pockets full of raisins and a lamb of sugar. The excerpt is anecdotal and impressionistic without a clear event or setting.
The essay advises newlyweds to vow never to wrangle or be ill tempered and to never keep secrets. It urges open confession of faults, privacy for the couple’s home, and to avoid third parties intruding. It ends with a reflection that many unhappy marriages could have been happier if this secret had been known before vows.
In Newark a ventriloquist staged a prank for neighbors, delivering mysterious knocks and voice calls from an unseen applicant in ex Senator Ray’s office. The episode included a fire scare, rumors of a rat and noises from a safe. The prankster later admitted to staging the events after a similar store incident.
A Boston Herald excerpt recounts Governor Andrew’s pledge to pardon a poor Irish woman’s husband, wronged by a system taxing the poor while rich hotelkeepers go unchallenged. He vows to pardon such cases as long as he governs, denouncing unequal justice.
A Western paper offers practical farm arithmetic for boys. It outlines that one acre equals 4 840 square yards and 160 square roods, with multiple dimension examples such as 5 yards by 980, 10 by 480, 20 by 242, 40 by 121, 80 by 69, and 70 by 69 or 60 by 80% to fit one acre. It ends with a brief note on a tie vote about marriage.
A North Davenport prominent man loses his son after his betrothed dies of typhoid. The lover, afflicted with nervous fever, hallucinates that his deceased fiancée returns in a dressmaker’s copy. A staged impersonation by a local woman triggers a fatal final awakening.
A Nevada report from the Dorchester Era describes Rev J A B Wilson, a Wilmington Conference preacher stationed at Fairmount Somerset, clashing with disorderly parishioners.

The piece shifts to a frontier charity note praising American aid to European distress abroad.
