Letter to Country Girls by Mrs Swisshelm in Pittsburg Visiter
The piece urges country girls to care for their hands and faces and avoid vanity. It warns against rough self-sufficiency, advises knitting gloves, proper washing, and sun protection, and critiques dietary habits, fashion, and smoking. It also digresses into historical figures and a dialect anecdote about a preacher’s indecipherable speech.
Worth and Gaines lauded as brave generals of early America
The obituary tribute recalls General William J Worth and General Edmund P Gaines as among the era’s bravest officers. Worth’s Mexican War exploits at Monterey and Chapultepec, his rapid rise, and his untimely death are celebrated. Gaines’s defense at Sackett’s Harbor and later service mark a long career of duty and integrity.
