A dated plea from the Infant Society argues for major changes in parental care and medical practices. It condemns early nursing deprivation, improper medicines, cold bathing, and overfeeding, urging universal respect for infants and better “maternal government” to improve health and happiness.
A passage from Edward Everett’s 1841 speech before the American Colonization Society argues Africa cannot be civilized by whites alone. He warns against inland settlement, praising descendants from tropical regions as fit for the task, while recounting the ill-fated Niger Chad expedition and urging reliance on local, enslaved peoples’ kinship with the land. A second item recalls a moving train scene where a dying mother’s child draws sympathy from strangers aboard a Western railroad.
An 1812 Plattsburg encounter recounts Stockbridge Hauk guiding Mohicans in ambush against Hurons and a British force. The Mohican’s bow and arrows kill seven Hurons as veterans approach, the seventh vanished, and Stockbridge returns with seven scalps. The episode ends with his silent rewards and absence from the army.
A long moralizing piece urges farmers to guard against leaks wasting profits. It counsels securing fences, pruning weeds, protecting crops, and avoiding political entanglements while stressing prudent spending and honest work. A companion anecdote from Child's Paper imparts a frugal living moral.
The piece notes a funeral scene where an elderly widow asks for her knitting as neighbors are late, showing a quaint ruling passion. It also delivers a joke equating a butcher to a language teacher as he is a retailer of tongues.
