Fragmented prose records a Civil War era scene with Bennett Bellman dying from a leg wound after an emotional drama with Lizette, alongside practical essays on digestion and arithmetic teaching. The text blends medical, educational, and personal anecdotes from The Journal era, including Dr. Yandell tending wounded soldiers and a pedagogy piece urging inductive math instruction in early grades.
Recount from Colonel William Preston Johnston on General Albert Sidney Johnston during the Shiloh campaign. Johnston rallies his men, leads a bayonet charge, and is wounded fatally as Harris and Wickham aid him, with his final words signaling concern for a serious wound. The account details his courageous presence and dramatic brief death scene on the battlefield.
Bulwer contends earth cannot be man's abode and life cannot end in nothingness. He asks why noble yearnings and beauty tease the heart, why rainbows appear and fade, and why stars mock our reach. He envisions a higher realm where happiness endures and beings linger forever.
A satirical verse depicts a flirtatious young woman, her mother, a sleigh ride, and a suitor. It humorously traces evening courtship, gifts, a proposal, and the man’s faulty finances before departure at dawn. The tone mocks social mores and economic reality with irony.
A residence in Indianapolis displays a conspicuous notice prohibiting young men from approaching unless they can pay £250 as a down payment toward a house and lot, with balance to be paid in one to three years for sale by the owner.
The author urges a thoughtful Lent, warning against forced retreat and urging a voluntary, sacred season of communion with God. True Lent edifies the soul, fosters repentance and grace, and contrasts worldly rush with spiritual reflection and renewal.
An anecdote from the late Bishop Ames recalls a West Conference moment when a member praised education and claimed he was not corrupted by college contact.
