A collage of items includes a sermon-like meditation on Providence and misfortune, a Oswego murder case involving a daughter and a suspected son, a Philadelphia scene of wealth and poverty near Chesnut Street, and notes on Gen Taylor's grave visit logistics. The mix features court cases, moral essays, interviews, and brief anecdotes from 1840s press voices.
