A fragmented 19th century moral poem urges moderation in all things including eating drinking thinking and friendship. It warns against excess and emphasizes restraint as a path to safety and virtue, with lines about poverty, trust, and steadfastness.
A legal drama unfolds in a battery case aboard the clipper Chal Ivelle. Choate, famed for diction, faces cross examination as mate Dick Darton recalls a moonless night and nautical confusion. The judge presses for latitude while spectators hear a Dublin like exchange. The Bench and Bar notes conclude with a remark on divorces.
The article argues happiness rests in just living and aligning wealth with needs. It cites virtue as divine and rebukes religious pretence, recounts a widow’s comic porter episode, and ends with a quip about Yankee habit of answering a question with a question. It preserves a period voice and moral tone.
A narrative describes a Niagara hotel wedding scene with a bustling bridegroom assisting his bride, lavish luggage, and a watching staff. The hotel register records new couples in formal style while older marriages appear matter of fact. A side note recalls Thrace Greeley and a poetic misread proposal leading to an unlikely marriage.
A marked discourse from S. Louis Tider urging public minded conduct in business. Emphasizes fair prices, integrity, industrious effort, and civility toward all customers and rivals, arguing success comes from sound judgment and superior workmanship rather than deceit or haste.

A collage of 1871 era anecdotes contrasts American extravagance in fashion and jewelry with a child’s playful escape beneath apple trees. It mentions Kate Chase’s famous lace purchase for $18,009 in gold, Paris admiration, and a broad sweep of travel notices and rail connections from Leavenworth to Thayer, Kansas, with freight terms and schedules.
Discussion defines strength of character as the fusion of wit and self restraint, requiring strong feelings yet mastery over them. Examples describe a strong man as one who remains composed after insults, endures anguish and daily trials, and forgives despite powerful passions. The piece advocates inner discipline as true strength.
