The Duty to Labor
The article denounces the boastful claim that "the world owes me a living" and argues a duty for all to be useful in their sphere. It condemns idleness, praises productive work, and states that while the rich have rights to wealth and leisure, they must act for the welfare of others and avoid useless luxury. It condemns class arrogance and emphasizes social responsibility and labor for uplift.

Who Der Gumbo Faces Cholera Fears and Death
The passage depicts Gumbo, a stiff necked Black man, witnessing cholera’s toll in 1832 and 1834. Amid friends’ deaths in Negro Alley he contemplates prayer and salvation, insisting he will be ready to depart next year to Abraham’s bosom, before mourners outside deny his presence.
