A short elegiac verse expresses gratitude to a benefactor. The speaker wishes lasting peace and a heart free of care, noting that memories of the giver remain bright and kind in their grateful heart. The stanzas conclude with the signature Wardwell.
Dorothy Daffodil vents fury at wedding kisses and tobacco fumes as a crowd swarms the bride. She describes the spectacle, the relentless pelting of kisses, and the distress of the bride and husband. She urges ending the wholesale kissing custom.
The piece urges self denial and steady effort to become the best in one’s field, likening life to a race. It argues that through perseverance, upright action, and continuous forward motion, a person rises to influence and leadership, with the path marked by progress rather than luck.
John Pounds, founder of Ragged Schools, a cripple and cobbler born in Portsmouth in 1766, lived in a small St Marys Street workshop mending shoes while teaching dozens of poor children. He adopted a crippled nephew and built a teaching group that grew to about forty scholars, including girls, with his humble hands-on method shaping early English education.
The celebrated educator taught hundreds of children essential skills and self care. He ran a transformative program that included heal-learning and self-sufficiency in cooking and shoemaking. On New Year’s Day 1836 he died, age seventy two, leaving students to mourn a benefactor.
The August 17 to 18 scene in Parra centers on Duke de Praship and Duchess, with the duke accused by police as the primary suspect after a brutal assault leaves the Duchess fatally wounded. The investigation traces bloodied evidence, a half-burnt note, and a locked garden window, while the Duke shows weak answers and possible poisoning before dying in Luxembourg prison. The Peer of France faces a looming court of peers trial as authorities pursue charges.
The article laments a covert removal of a criminal via self murder, condemning the command and weaponized murder of a vulnerable woman. It recalls past vice exposés and links the act to ominous signs of national decline and Madame Roland’s innocence amid political turmoil.
The piece endorses Jane W. Gorpos as the Whig standard bearer for Congress, attacking locofoco opposition to the Wilmot Proviso and praising Gorpos as principled and capable. It argues party unity over abolitionist conflicts and calls for readiness as national events unfold. It also notes a new May Accor tale about a mail despatch by a Newfoundland dog signaling a steamboat news run along Chesapeake Bay.
