A medical writer argues overwork harms society while underwork harms individuals, claiming better to wear out than rust out in pursuit of a good cause. The note contends excess labor damages health and vitality, urging a balance to avoid both extremes.
A speculative tale follows a fortunes-hunting narrator who schemes to marry the handsome widow Euphrosyne for life insurance gains. He woos her with wit, poems, and charm, while a wary adviser and a dangerous wager drive him toward a morally dubious, humorous conclusion.
The essay critiques love letters as a genre, noting tradesmen and educated writers show awkwardities in form and address. It argues letters reveal social classes, education, and era, with recurring patterns from hobbyists to milliners, and laments the penny post's pressure on rapid, glib verse.
A verse seeking an enduring companion to share life’s vale, offering steady support, unity in purpose, faith, and mutual affection. The speaker longs for a steadfast, honest, loving partner who will walk beside them toward heaven.
A reflective monologue argues early motherhood causes suffering and poverty, praising a vibrant maternal presence while condemning pale and insecure mothers. It contrasts maternal instinct with artistic temperament, citing Poe, Tuckerman, Cary and Fannie Osgood, and ends with a meditation on patriarchal portraits of mothers and fathers.
An article warns that burning common oil lamps in bedrooms poisons air and harms health, especially for children. It advises keeping wick high for light, opening top window slightly, and ensuring ventilation to prevent deadly gas buildup.

It advises smothering with woolen fabrics or blankets, then laying the person flat to protect the face, cooling with flour paste, and guiding recovery until a physician arrives.

The article extols apples as a healthy, economical dietary staple for homes. It claims a raw mellow apple digests in about 90 minutes, compares favorably to cabbage, and advises baked apples as the best dessert.
