A devotional poem by Reverend Leonard Withington pleads for divine guidance of children, fearing moral peril and urging virtue over wealth. It laments lost youth when friendships fade, cites mothers’ influence, laments misanthropy, and counsels temperance, conscience, and pious restraint.
A miscellany column weighs human nature, urging restraint in gossip to spare neighbors’ reputations. It argues benevolence over fault-finding, notes how kindness brightens the countenance, and contrasts outward beauty with inner virtue while praising steady labor and temperance.
A garbled colonial era page mixes a tale of a sheriff reading a jail writ to a reluctant prisoner with a mock dramatic reply, mentions Dr Waits and a rhyming childhood, describes Bombay locust swarms seen from above, notes immense crop damage, and cites European lighting in Christ Church Cincinnati. It also covers French wage debates, American shoe industry contrasts, a Cranes case ruling, and an angry planetary shower of flesh from an ostracized era.
An assortment of grim items recounts a Connecticut house fire in Bethany where Dr Spencer perished with his children, a fatal poplar accident in Herald County with a missing young man, and a bizarre tale of an elderly Longword Street couple adopting a baby. Reports also cover naval speculation on the Princeton and a Whig Boston convention nominating Clay and Davis.
