A poetic reflection on Moses surveying promised land and leaving the gift for others to guard. The verse frames achievement as divinely guided and the task fulfilled without further demand.
A teacher questions a torn dictionary leaf and classmates suspect Robert Miles. Lewis Storrs defies peer pressure by confessing honesty and urging Robert to tell the truth. Robert finally confesses with Lewis at his side, the teacher praising open confession and friendship.
A vivid Civil War scene recalls prisoners of war and hospitality at Kelly’s Ferry. The Fifty fourth Virginia shares coffee, bacon and bread with the Third Ohio sojourners, then later the two regiments meet again under the blue flag. The episode ends with a poignant exchange of back and forth goodwill amid war.
A Cincinnati paper recalls Catherine Buck, a Columbus widow, whose twelve year old son ran away a year ago. She roamed rail depots and soldiers lines in hope of news, risking sanity and life. The article ends with a gruesome note of a friend who died on the rails and a set of moral maxims.
The piece lists eight rules for effective public speaking, emphasizing preparation, calm delivery, clear enunciation, controlled breath, rhythmic voice, focused mind, expressive gestures, and practiced spontaneity. It then recounts a Cleveland Tennessee incident where ladies buried a flag to keep it from rebels, exhumed it later, paraded with a brass band, and had Col. Grosse respond to a speech, with the banner hoisted as a symbol of women's devotion to country.
