The Inconstant Moral Tales and Witty Marriage Farce
A long transcribed miscellany from the New York Herald style page mixes notices, verse, and a rambling tale of flirtation and betrothal. It follows a New York social circle where a flirtatious engagement collapses under scrutiny, a duel is averted, and a bachelor’s honeymoon ends in comic domestic upheaval with a quarrel over fishing plans and breakfast refusals.

Breakthrough in a brittle home scene
The piece depicts Fitz’s fall after a breakage upstairs and his plea for forgiveness. After two hours, he earns a kiss, and becomes "only my husband." He now runs errands, carries bundles, and smiles obediently, once prone to grumbling before Mrs F’s stern whispered question about fishing.

Hawk's Nest Niagara Vision Through Kanawha Scene
An earnest analysis from the Scioto Gazette extols the Hawk's Nest in Western Virginia as a sublime, almost sacred landscape. The author, likely a lady, explores mind and nature, praising divine artistry in the Alleghenies, the Kanawha, and a dramatic cliff view over the river, with Niagara-like awe and a meditation on human purpose.
