Fragmentary verse portrays a celestial guard, a pleading poet, and a sorrowful angel. It cycles through dreamlike lines about protection, heaven, and the struggle of fate, with repeated invocations for an angel to guard the speaker forever. The garbled text preserves motifs of grace, fear, and transcendence.
Fragmentary essay describes the Upas tree near Batavia, its deadly sap and gas, and testimonies from explorers. It notes cautious inquiry into sensational claims, critiques sensational narrators, and mentions native use and dangers of handling the tree.
A historical critique describes modern slavery in Egypt and its provinces, detailing brutal capture, binding to heavy timber, and forced labor as villagers are marched to future masters. It condemns mistreatment, mentions deaths en route, and notes the climate and guards exacerbate torture, while modern civilization has failed to improve conditions or lift the afflicted out of degradation.
A fragment from a Wilmington era note warns that water ballast in ships can sink boats with passengers clinging to wreckage. The piece recounts a Milwaukee murder where a wife shot a rival in a hall, then lists household repair tips and local curiosities, ending with a political jeremiad on the Democratic and Opposition parties and a dense chronicle of partisan laws and presidencies.
