A lyric meditation compares the heart to a living lyre where fierce passions play on separate strings. It suggests tempering with divine touch to achieve harmony, as passion lingers and never yields truce.
In analysis from 1826 French Vice-Consul Max Isnard for Boston, pumice pulp yields more water retained and a near solidified pectic acid that makes the pulp easily chewed and digestible. Cattle thrive on pumice compared with common beet and milkers saved dry feed. Offers show buyers willing to pay half more per weight for pumice than beet.
Reprint summarizes Isnard's letter to the Massachusetts Agricultural Society on sugar beet cultivation and sugar extraction. It covers beet varieties, soil needs, planting rows, hoeing and earthing, leaf use, harvest handling, and projected yields and returns per acre including sugar, molasses, cattle feed, and manure value.
A traveler reports on Liverpool and Warrington, the Mersey and the shift to Cheshire and Staffordshire. He catalogs industrial pockets in Wolverhampton and Birmingham, noting salt works, pottery, coal, and iron, and laments customs delays and spiritual needs amid vast landscape contrasts.
The piece presents a fragmented census style tally of U S regions with place names and counts, followed by a vehement argument asserting universal human rights and denouncing enslaving of Africans and racial prejudice. It argues that inalienable rights belong to all races and condemns slavery as incompatible with liberty.
Measurements from the Boston Mercantile Journal show Honolulu imports in 1834 at 272000 dollars from the United States and other ports, with exports valued at 265600 dollars including sandal wood and skins. The piece also notes local foreign-owned vessels and the year’s port entries, plus stray items on presses, cruelty, and John Knox’s watch.
A report by the chaplain notes 40 to 45 patients attend daily worship in the Lunatic Asylum attached to Edinburg Charity Workhouse. Instances show ordered conduct and engagement, including a former precentor among patients and a restless man writing down a sermon’s notes. The account highlights positive spiritual effects on the insane.
The text discusses the wedding garment as imputed righteousness, imparted holiness, and Christlike example. It argues that putting on Christ completes the robe and fits believers to wear it, likening God gathering ripe souls from his gardens to himself. It notes public land sales in June totaling about $4,000,600.
