A humorous miscellany piece recounts Mr Nasby dreaming of the afterlife after a heavy supper. He describes the dividing line between worlds as a swift stream, with souls burdened by weight sinking, while the light walkers reach heaven and the forces of Satan down below.
A long misremembered dream recounts Satan presiding over a stream and weighing men with labels like Treason and Murder. Notable figures Vallandigham Voorhees and Fenian themes surface as a woke performance of moral judgment. The narrator awakes to question if society is doing the devil’s work and contemplates repentance and personal guilt.
