A fragmented, poetic meditation on mortality immortality and the afterlife contrasts between mortal decay and a purified spirit in a cosmically serene heaven. The voice contemplates memory faith and the weary traveler’s vigil as bells midnight and distant angelic harmonies loom.
A collection of satirical anecdotes on American habits and social pretensions. It contrasts English agricultural life with American urban experience, lampoons vanity in titles, and parodies nostalgia through miscellaneous sketches of travelers, stagecoach tales, and regional quirks.
A Chicago journal sketch follows a wagon bringing wheat into town. A husband wife and child are observed as they navigate bargaining, children’s wishes, and modest purchases. The piece ends with the joy of home life and the appeal of imagined comforts.
The fragment surveys infant growth patterns and adult height shifts, notes cleanliness tips for homes, and recounts stories of fraud and moral instruction. It touches on old life advice, a swindler's travel and trial, family scenes, and legal notes in Boston and Philadelphia.
A letter from Rome recounts a wager between Mr Ques the Charge d Affaires and a French Dragoon colonel. Cass rode a perilous parapet bluff to prove his claim that French cavalry were not superior riders, winning 5000 francs which he donated to a hospital.
