A personal reminiscence recalls a Christmas church scene where a child plucks wreaths and faces punishment. The mother’s calm, loving rebuke and tender forgiveness left a lasting impression, contrasting with the harsh outcome of later gambling and moral decline. The narrator ponders how a single kind phrase can shape a life amid worldly temptations.
A Tribune correspondent outlines how a young, respectable lawyer was ruined by gambling. After marriage he saved weekly, but a raffle promoter lured him to a raid hall. He sank his deposits, dreamed of luck, and descended into escalating high stakes, loans, and desperation, becoming a ruined compulsive gambler.
The piece surveys Sydney Smith on courage and the cost of timidity, then retells a tale of Abraham and a hundred years of patience, and ends with reflections on rising through labor and finding happiness in simple living, order, and virtue. It cites industry, prudence, and moral examples to urge initiative and steady effort.
In this critique of American housing, the author cites A J Dowarxo on proper ventilation and shows how overheated, stifling rooms with sealed windows poison air. He argues that limited fresh air harms health, especially for women and children, as the stove and closed spaces repeatedly recirculate polluted air.
The article reports a man named Hicks hanged for the murder of Allen based on circumstantial evidence. Three days after execution, a citizen committee exhumed Allen and found no bullet wounds, suggesting the death may not have been by rifle fire. The piece also includes scattered notes on bread, digestion, and a church anecdote about gambling.
A detailed discussion on potato cultivation, seed use, soil types, manures, and top dressings. It covers potato diseases, rot remedies, smoking and charcoal, sugar beets for vinegar, turnips, beets, carrots, parsnips, clover, timothy, and rotation. Includes advice on lime, marl, gypsum, and farmed stock, urging diversified rotation for soil fertility.
