A poetic march of the Old White Horse in a historic battlefield narrative citing Palo Alto, Monterey, Buena Vista, and Metamorne. The piece blends martial imagery with a Whig convention letter praising General Taylor and Massachusetts leadership, weaving memory, hope, and fate.
A gentleman from a province visits a Paris shop to buy a bonnet for his wife. The shopkeeper reveals a woman’s tale of a past kindness, where a little girl sold apples to fund her mother’s care, prompting a grateful gift of worth beyond the purchase. The piece mentions a dysentery remedy product and marketing patter from an old advertisement.
A historic recount describes how electricity through a vacuum chamber creates vivid displays. Observations include sparks traveling to the glass edges, finger touch effects, pulsating arteriolike currents, and luminous clouds. A small phial in the receiver shows synchronized flashes completing a bright discharge.
Fable recounts Kamtschnika bears starving during famine and venting on a tea kettle after entering a villager’s house. A bear pressed the kettle with his body, burning himself and drawing neighbors who eventually killed him. The village still calls the bear “bear and the tea kettle” for self harm by fire.
In spring 1847 a farmer followed advice to sow broad cast ground for potatoes, producing a healthy crop with no disease while nearby ground treated with salt yielded a diseased, mealy potato. The note argues salt may prevent disease. The piece also recounts anecdotes about Daniel Webster and a deathbed reflection on money, kin, and good works.
The text urges steadfastness against temptation, likening it to a rock unmoved in a troubled sea. It encourages maintaining principles, resisting temptations of song and cup, and letting a bright example guide others toward virtue.
The text describes glass as advantageous for millpens, noting electricity effects during thunderstorms turning them to solid. It mentions filling bottles with a liquid, inverting them in a milk basin, then sealing quickly to prevent air entry, aiming to preserve contents.
A long favorable advertisement lauds the Baraapariite Sarsaparilla Elixir, citing endorsements from Rev. J. Baer, Rev. Alien Steele, and Dr. S. P. Conologholm among others in Albany, Troy, and Michigan. It claims cures for debility, coughs, asthma, chest pains, and nervous disturbances, with testimonials from physicians, bankers, and others, and lists Albany vendors Wood, Lyon & Co. and A. O. Ayde as distributors.
