Fragmentary religious lyric by Florence Pric y Weterodony expressing spiritual longing, exile, and questions of heaven. The speaker pleads for divine presence, imagines green pastures, still waters, and a faithful soul seeking solace beyond earthly ties.
In a discussion on the anonymous Junius letters, the piece traces handwriting analysis by experts in London to identify Junius with Sir Philip Francis. It recounts the Bath visit, Miss Giles, and the key letters and verses, noting Chabot and Twistleton’s roles and tilting toward Tilghman’s handwriting as the basis for Francis’s authorship. The note and verses are argued to be in Tilghman’s hand, supporting the Francis theory, with implications for antiquaries and lawyers.
A thoughtful letter argues the US must end civil war era policies and restore the Constitution. It criticizes party strife over the Fifteenth Amendment, defends equal justice, and urges a constitutional union while warning against dictatorship. The writer disavows party allegiance and appeals to citizens to seek stable governance.
From the Pittsburg Post 13th, the first regular Palace Stock cars ran from St Louis to New York yards, nine six hours faster, with eleven cars carrying 172 head of cattle. Cars feature adjustable stalls, bedding of shavings, feed boxes, water tanks, and Eliptical spring undercarriage for smooth motion. The system promises safer, cheaper transport, reducing stagecoach use and improving cattle quality at destination. Also included are remarks by Elizabeth Cady Stanton on marrying young and women's health.
A fragmentary humorous note offers a mock recipe for mischief using fictitious ingredients and warns against laziness. It references the siege of Paris balloons and includes a casual, satirical exchange about courtship and the Princess Louise, with brief, clipped dialogue and wry social commentary.
