A fragmented 19th century verse fragment imagines a widowed or unmarried man debating marriage. He muses on love, freedom, and a “heaven below” versus earthly ties, with references to weddings, pedestrians, and idealized brides. The speaker rejects a traditional wife for wandering and eventual reunion in heaven.
A lengthy critique argues the Argus overstated Democratic triumphs and underplays Whig gains across states. The piece contrasts reported majorities, notes Pennsylvania and Connecticut shifts, and ends by urging local civic effort amid turbulent times and Mormon disturbances.
A fragment from the Saturday Courier recounts a playful editor’s exchange about verses addressed to Ann and the claim that the author is unknown to the editor. The piece wends through a humorous confrontation with two visiting ladies in black, then shifts to dramatic clips of crime, medicine, and a reddened tale of a gallant Verz.
