A collection of religious aphorisms urging daily prayer and self control. It contrasts worldly fame with lasting virtue, stresses patience, humility, and growth in grace, and cites Chalmers, Spurgeon, and Mall. The passages emphasize repenting with amendment, the danger of pride, and living by obedience to God.

A man recalls choosing to refuse a low circus as a turning point in character and recounts a humorous Arkansas judge moment over spelling equinomical. The judge betrays a loyalty to Webster but dismisses the dictionary for omitting a common word, highlighting pride and folly.
A Nashua teacher asks a five summers old the riddle to name the longest day in the year, while the young answerer, a Sunday child, responds with a scene framed by blue law values.
A mosaic of quips on ownership and aristocracy, urging restraint and sharp wit. It muses on guarantees of property, the power of small elites, andsocietal hypocrisy, with period humor about Greeley, Cincinnati, and Mrs Partington. The tone is wry and editorial.
