The piece blends humorous and reflective notes with a final reflection on love and time, noting a twenty year arc and six children born to the couple.
Bloggs faces a shifted nose and a friend who refuses to resent it. A weary heart seeks strength anywhere on life’s dusty road. A major daily warns of a pall of gloom over the city, comparing it to Ward’s bucket of sorrow. It notes how a man can guide others yet fail to walk the path himself, a pilot who becomes a castaway.
Norman McLeod argues that true spiritual progress requires surrender to God. He likens unresolved self-will to a ship blocked by a single hammer strike, delaying its voyage to the sea. Once the block is removed, the vessel learns to float and fulfill its purpose, as must the believer.
The St. Louis Gazette reports a new method by George Robinson M.D. of New York using a galvanic current through a heated wire to cut wood. Dry wood pieces guided against the wire with a light sawing motion split as if by saw or ax, leaving a thin charred surface but preserving timber.
A reflection on dramatic deaths in the theater. It recalls Gottschalk's death at the piano during La Morte and parallels with Moliere, Hughes, John Palmer, Sheridan, and Edmund Kean.

Other items include a Cleveland Leader letter alleging German arms sales to the Confederacy, a Crook homicide in Arkansas, Commodore Macomb’s death, Rev. Thomas Tracy’s passing, and officials planning a Ute purchase and a council with Colorado’s Utes. The Allegheny workers protest Chinese labor imports.
