A mother reads a Jane Taylor fable about a trout and a hook to Charley, then uses the tale to warn of heedless youth. The piece shifts to a civics essay urging frugality, self discipline, and steady duty, arguing lavish spending harms marriage, reputation, and independence.
The essay quotes Charles Lamb describing his ruinous descent into drunken folly and urges warning young friends about the danger of alcohol. It notes the existence of about 4,600 Free Mason lodges in the United States, most in unusually prosperous condition.
A Cincinnati incident recounts a ragged African man asking about a name, a Mississippi man taunts him, the scarred back reveals brutal lashings, the Mississippian offers aid with a five dollar piece and blessing, and the freed man eventually reaches Canada as a free man per the Clermont Courier.
Heenan the Benicia Boy intends spending the summer at Avon Sovrings to train for his great fight with Tom Sayers. It is said the literary lady he recently married approves of the contest and expects shifts in England for her enlightened husband.
A Philadelphia newspaper notes items sent to members of Congress from the city in care of the Post Office. A box labeled Doctors Universal Remedy, a dope-filled fishing rod, and a large Old Dominion coffee pot were shipped as free matter. The piece mocks gratis express service and imagines even more outlandish gifts like a cooking stove and coal. It cites a Chicago dentist touting gold tooth work as evidence of civilization and mentions Livingstone’s wife giving birth to a daughter near the Cape of Good Hope, making the explorer a father of another native African child.
A New York Merald correspondent cites a March Tuileries interview between Kossuth and Klapka mediated by Emperor Louis Napoleon. The piece claims Klapka heads Austrian forces in Tur in while Kossuth plans to push revolution in southeastern Hungary, with Danubian principalities likely his next stop. It asserts Louis Napolons broader aims extend beyond Italian aid.
