From Union Magazine Frances B Brotherson writes lines rich in yearning and devotion. A speaker longs to be a zephyr to console and guard a beloved, praising beauty and virtue as love elevates the spirit beyond worldly cares. The voice envisions twilight blessings and heavenly harmony.
A long lyrical preface extols Rome’s resilience in face of Austrian and Gallic threats, followed by an extended narrative about Welch preaching humor and a vivid, largely historical account. It includes a detailed, controversial exploration of Eleazer, a supposed Dauphin figure, his education, travels, and rumored French blood, ending with reflections on identity and fate.
The text discusses American religious devotion as personal and not institutional, the state as the people, and an American independence of mind. It praises self-reliance, moral responsibility, and the single-voiced national character, noting contrasts with other nations and warning against flattery of foreigners. A brief digression about adaptation in fish is included.
The text quips about Joseph R. Ingerson of Pennsylvania possibly succeeding Bagby as minister to Russia and jokes about a Queensland woman and learning being a great thing. Snippets show a humorous old dialogue with vague references and aged speakers.
The narrative surveys Rome’s enduring location on the Tiber and current land use. It notes desertion due to malarial air, altered elevations from rubbish, and the altered Tarpeian Rock. It highlights the Papal Palace, St. Peter’s Basilica with vast capacity, and the infamous kiss of Jupiter’s toe repurposed as St. Peter.
An article urges parents to cultivate young minds for useful life through early instruction in agriculture. It emphasizes male and female efforts, proper schooling, and reading to inspire love of science and practical farming, warning against narrowing female minds to unreal ideas.
The passage presents a fragmentary dialogue invoking doubt about fashion and deceit. It juxtaposes cynical views of honesty with vivid, uneven metaphors about temptation, flattery, and human weakness, citing devilish influence and the perils of moral compromise.
