A fragmentary piece presents Hymn for Sabbath Evening by William Hoss Wallace, invoking Star of the holy Sabbath Eve and meditations on sacred time. Interleaved prose discusses atmospheric ice, air pockets, and buoyant noise as ice thickens and shifts, ending with a signature Wirnniam SLAWwson.
The narrator recalls a Philadelphia locksmith and his wife who avoided retirement, then built a content life by returning to the forge. He learns that useful work sustains happiness, and that long familiarity with one occupation shapes true fulfillment, illustrated by the cousin’s bustling shop and refined home.
An 18th or 19th century column reports a sensational tale from New South Wales about a new copper colored, hairless head tribe found in the far interior. Eyewitness Mr. Thomson describes peaceful natives who hint at finding stone riches inland. The piece closes with a quip about a virtuous wife and a merchant mistaking jeopardy for port, illustrating light editorial whimsy.
