A fragment from Nes?s Saturday Gazette urges readers to accept life’s hardships with the refrain Whatever is right. It addresses the toil of the laboring poor and the grief of a dying child, insisting truth comes humbly and time will prove Heaven’s decrees.
A famed Paris nurse once denied aiding Voltaire’s last illness stating she would not let an infidel die. The tale, narrated by a religious figure, recounts a male traveler seeking her services for a friend who was a Christian in the highest sense, and underscores fear of death for unbelief.
A moralizing reminiscence recalls an anecdote of a grandfather who warned a boy against taking government paper, noting the man who signed a pledge with his name and fortune, and contrasts it with today. The column also praises William Gardiner of Cross Creek, Pa, aged 60, who walked six miles through rain to vote and then returned to rally more voters.
The article argues for early marriage, citing Franklin’s praise and claiming virtuous unions elevate character. It claims such attachments deter vice, redirect spending from amusements to a holy purpose, and provide hope, partnership, and helpful influence toward a moral life.
A sprawling miscellany notes how newspapers uplift families by feeding reading habits and daily awareness. It recounts a Parisian novelist aiding a destitute widow, later unmasking a princely ruse, and offers quirky local vignettes from Western sheets about weddings in streets and public manners amid changing times.
