Fragmentary poem lines describe a crystal clear world and blessed flowers as symbols of heaven’s ambrosial air. The speaker compares a heart to a silent lute left by a faithless hand, noting lost chords and muted tones yet hints at the wind of heaven and a sigh from a dejected heart.
An essay extols bees for harmony and patriotism, arguing their communal wealth lies in each citizen and urging humans to act in concert, bear burdens, and sacrifice for others. It compares the bees’ selfless society to Christian virtue and civic duty, condemning selfishness as despicable.
An eclectic collection of extracts on wisdom governing the universe, grafting wax, roses, spring life, insect studies, the roles of French women, and tiny creatures, finishing with a reflection on prayer and a fragment about a boy preferring rainier days over school.
A medley of observations and anecdotes on penmanship errors in letters, lax proofreading, and printers deposed by the “printer's imp.” It shifts to brief quips about North Carolina health, grave digging in Kentucky, landlord tenants in Pittsburgh, and editor opinions on legal fees. It closes with marriage customs and a Jewish ceremony anecdote.
The notice states that a subscriber who does not pay arrears by sixty days will have the paper discontinued. It also mentions charges of One Dollar and Seventy-Five Cents and Two Dollars for advance payment and delay, with advertisements inserted at the usual rates.
