Wealthy sons drift from riches to ruin in New York amusements
An anonymous 19th century letter in the Cincinnati Commercial describes young men from affluent families in New York spending and dissipating wealth at amusements. It laments how such excess leads to crime, prison, or death, contrasting it with a life of abstemious, steady living that preserves longevity. The piece also discusses the moral cost of indulgence and the finite stock of life each person possesses.

Mary Walker and the limits of woman’s dress reform
The piece argues against Dr Mary Walker’s view that true womanhood and political power require adopting male attire. It praises Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and especially Emily Dickinson for achieving influence without unsexing themselves, citing Stanton and Anthony’s continued femininity and Dickinson’s decisive activism to advance reform.
