Reformed Living Toward Economy Amid Society’s Vanity
A long reflective piece contrasts wealth display in 1886 with rural virtue, urging restraint and practical living. It tells of a mother with four children in a mud house who rejects costly ostentation, while a sale of lavish furniture prompts a sober shift to plain, honest living and daily labor. The writer cites improved times, urges universal frugality, and notes a family transformation from extravagance to contented, simple routines.

Impotence of Political Malice in 1842 Ohio Legislature
A 1842 Ohio session saw Locofocos denounce a national figure with caustic terms over defending Petition and Free Speech. Whig opposition in the Senate delayed the measure, while Ohio’s public stance and later New York cheers for the honored statesman underscored themes of Liberty and Independence. The piece closes with a touching Wyandot farewell to General Harrison aboard a Sandusky escort, honoring his memory.
