The Wife's Gut and a Temperance Wedding Tale
A serialized domestic vignette follows Catherine Gray and John Wilder as they marry in a village church. The tale contrasts a joyful wedding with Wilder's lingering alcohol habit and its effects on family life, money gifts, and temperance. It ends with hints of broader travels and public notices, including references to ships and distant events in the same issue.
