A reflective poem by D. W. Campbell speaks of sorrow and memory’s magic, urging perseverance through dark hours. It extols the law of Heaven as love and notes the inherent worth of beings and nature, warning against contempt and hatred born of pride.
A fragment from a periodical notes kindness to erring people and urges gentle treatment. It cites examples of dull youths who later excel, including Adam Clarke and Isaac Barrow, and ends with a literary flourish on sunrises and early rising.
A curious tale recounts the deaf Countess of Orkney who in 1753 hid a stone to test her infant’s sense, then rejoiced at the child’s awakening. The piece then shifts to Dr. Lyman Beecher’s lone audience sermon and its enduring conversions, followed by humorous steamboat misadventures and assorted 1840s curiosities about trains, wages, and Western migration.
The piece extols farming as a virtuous and wholesome pursuit, free from the corrupt gains of other trades, contrasting it with lawyers doctors and speculators. It includes maxims on long life from benign elders and a series of humorous quips about revival methods and jokes. It notes ten thousand German emigrants hired by the North American Land Company to arrive this season.
A ragbag of comic anecdotes and calumny free jokes about drinking revelers, social quirks, and boardinghouse rules. It recalls a drunken walk home, a wife announcing a spouse’s return with two men, a starving Irishman dodging a doctor bill, and schoolyard quips about letters and licks.
