A long moral essay contrasts womanhood with fashion and virtue. It urges discipline in youth, warns against idle waiting for life to pass, and fuses duty with courage. It also discusses girls seeking admiration and the virtue of a true, modest, womanly character.
The 1887 statistics show rapid church expansion with 58 conferences and nearly 8,000 itinerant ministers, totaling over 1,144,763 members and gains from probationers. Edifices number 11,138 with 3,570 parsonages and a near one million dollar rise in parsonage property. Centenary funds approach seven million, and school enrollment exceeds one million pupils.
The article urges farmers to use leaves and other readily available materials as bedding for cattle hogs and poultry to promote health and milk yield. It also notes practical tips for loosening stuck screws with kerosene and summarizes a local anecdote of a Cincinnati drummer scandal.
A reflective piece contrasts the farmer’s secure home on his land with the broad work of the American Bible Society expanding in the South and abroad. It notes new presses and power, war-era gains, and ongoing cooperation across denominations.
A long fragment recounts Scottish winter imagery and a medieval oath tale about honor and paper receipts. It then shifts to Thackeray style social critique on evening parties and courtship. The piece closes with a note on Baron Bunsen and Egyptology, including a review of his chronology theory across five volumes.
A garbled wartime piece celebrates a cavalry motif with lines urging rallying and victory. The text references a campaign void of clear authorship and includes a scornful editorial quote attacking home paper readers and a note about Chicago telegraph wires already numbering forty six.
