Burial of a Living Girl and Other Writings in the Pennsylvanian
A disparate mix of 1830s era items: a dramatic tale of a woman buried alive beside her lover, a frontier crime tale of a bank note theft foiled by wind, a humorous dialogue on self and temperance, and long digressions on Blannerhassett and Lewis Carr. The page mixes oblique notices, farming essays, and society anecdotes with vivid, era-typical prose and sensational storytelling.

Observations on Wealth, Morality, and Hard Work
A reflective monologue recounts how wealth and status shift with folly or prudence. It contrasts rich and poor, praises industrious wives, and laments dissipation, misjudgment, and broken principles affecting families and farms. The speaker notes men and boys diverted by vanity and self interest and the rewards of thrift and honesty.
