He debates wealth and mercy with a noble court and witnesses poverty, hunger, and the failings of society, before consoling a villager and learning a final lesson about desire and loss.
Fragmentary prose sketch from a New York Mirror piece recounts Solomon hosting the Queen of Sheba. Sage councils arrive and speak of wonders and wisdom while the king surveys riches, nature, and celestial beauty, hinting at mythic exchange.

An English merchant of Canton encounters a sudden reversal of fortune when a Chinese trader named Ghingwa offers him ten thousand dollars in gifts and money in a display of gratitude.

In a neighborly quarrel over the boundary between Jones and Chandler, the two agreed to seek a fair settlement through an impartial umpire.
