A fragment from the Fremont Journal prints a poem about aging, lost youth, and enduring affection. The speaker recalls a girl from boyhood, noting her thin, old condition and dwindling life, while a revived youthful feeling returns as he holds her hand and kisses her in a reverent moment. The excerpt cites the Evening Post as its source.
A satirical meditation on weddings, courtship woes, and family tears. The piece parodies wedding rituals with humorous asides about bridesmaids, mothers, and the groom, ending with moral reflections on life and benevolence.
A reflective prose piece depicts hope arriving like snow to ease disease and sorrow. It praises mercy saving from ruin, comforting mothers, guiding troubled youths, rescuing a maiden from danger, and comforting an old man, urging perseverance through life’s harsh trials.
The text argues it is unwise for a man to always labor. It stresses the need for cessation, quiet, and reflection after a life of industry. It warns wealth without balance harms and urges prudence and economy in youth to secure rest in old age.
A fragment recounts a French Canadian house party during a violent storm where holy water sprinkled on guests caused mishaps. The piece pivots to a moral on character, praising dignity, sincerity, and the value of a good character for a man’s prospects and happiness.
Lavater described to Goethe how observing hands in church offerings shows unique traits. He outlined hand types for catching, holding, clasping, grasping, and gift giving, noting one hand’s gesture can echo a demanding, grasping persona seen in old portraits.
A lousianan bathes in a stream near a plowed field and loses his clothes to bees as a group of damsels approaches with a basket. Stories compare Californian beliefs, describe mammoth trees near San Francisco, and end with verses urging perseverance and a cheeky quip about a gentleman in slippers.
