A reflection by John A. Howland on changing deportment in business youth and the balance of partnership at home. It argues modest courtesy survives busy times, women’s work at home earns dignity, and the Thirteenth Amendment’s spirit contrasts with modern discontent.
A New York divorce suit uses thirteenth amendment language to claim voluntary servitude within marriage. The piece notes the legal untenability while highlighting feminists and wives who portray themselves as oppressed. The discussion turns to justice, equality, and the dynamics of marital power.

A poem wistfully contrasts envy with devotion then shifts to a casual tale about Bucyrus Woolley, an old timer from Benton township. The dialogue with Wash and Hancock recalls a rural store scene, hinting at local humor and school days with a recalled childhood friend who saved candy only to demonstrate disinterest in sweets.
The dialogue sketches Bucyrus and his bride’s domestic life, contrasting his frugal, practical mind with his wife’s skilled cooking and cheerful energy. Neighbors recall Bucyrus as a steady worker who never showed strong emotion, and his bride’s cooking becomes a celebrated though not fully acknowledged household achievement. The piece notes Bucyrus’s sobriety and persistent practicality amid a lively rural setting.
In Atchison, Mrs Woolley grows tired of Bucyrus Woolley's aloof, unsmiling manner as domestic routine continues. A visiting, stylish young man attracts her attention, raising questions about fidelity and fulfillment. Bucyrus pretends indifference, while neighbors discuss the tension and Mrs Woolley's shifting feelings.

The Houston Post quotes a wry remark about a widow’s newly matched lot for sale. It notes a merry widow’s last years, a touch of violets on the side, and the idea that a well-heeled man is as popular as a politician. It ends with a social jab on cash and mood.
