A religious meditation contrasts earthly joys with the certainty of death. The speaker urges living toward the higher life, cherishing friendships and health while striving to forsake sin, hoping to earn a crown of reward beyond the tomb. The piece ponders time, judgment, and eternal destiny.
The text reflects on Professor Agassiz and the value of prayer in science, then shifts to guidance for farm families. It emphasizes balanced work for boys, recreation, school access, reading, home freedom, family unity, and holy instruction, with girls shaping home life to keep youth engaged.
A meditation on the Bible as a portable, vital guide that elevates and consoles. It travels with the sailor, the pilgrim, the family, and the child, linking benediction to daily acts and guiding away from spiritual decline toward faith and reverence. It urges constant Scripture reading and prayer to awaken reflection and sustain the soul.
Farmers prize seed quality in most crops but potatoes often fail seed standards.

The article urges farmers to start selecting seed corn now focusing on early maturity and prolificness. It outlines a three year process: mark first maturing stalks, select two ear carriers, and harvest two ear plants for seed, aiming to achieve high yields and potential fortunes in seed corn farming.
Reports indicate a large amount of soft corn unusable for feed in Illinois Missouri and Ohio with overall loss about six and one tenth percent versus last year.
