A man recounts a rainy, tense morning on the Mall where a distressed woman refuses shelter and laments a dead lover. He learns from a landlady that the woman, Mrs Bond, is reputedly crazy with a torn marriage, while the observer imagines an idealized youth for her, fixating on jealousy as the devil.
A dramatic narrative traces a woman driven by jealousy from hopeful love to ruin. It follows her long suffering, the lover's infidelity, and a deadly plan that ends with her confession of murder as Jealousy is the Devil. The piece culminates in a dramatic trial and a chilling self-inflicted punishment.
A Hartford Sabbath tale recalls Lyman Beecher living simply at Licghfelg. Reverend Strong doubted the young preacher, then Beecher preached with unexpected power, silencing pride and leaving the host pastor moved by the homegrown sermon. Beecher later recounted the moment.
The text argues that poor meals worsen illness and urges limited eating for several days, plus open air activity for recovery. It contrasts this with comforting but harmful advice to eat heartily, noting the stomach’s fatigue during sickness and recommending coarse bread, ripe fruits, and daily exercise for convalescence. It also references English law and social customs around marriage during earlier times, with satirical commentary on chivalry and wardship. It ends with a reminiscence of Miss Goldsmith and a description of her appearance and behavior in a family setting.
The New York Evening Post questions how rebel leaders stash wealth abroad. It cites Stidell amid Parisian holdings and foreign drafts, with contractors like Howard and financiers moving funds to London and sterling exchanges. The piece questions motives and routes for rebel funds and notes fashion advice contrasting tasteful morning dress with overdressed appearances.
The article discusses the origins of the days of the week from Germanic idols and describes depictions of Sun, Moon, Tuisco, Woden, Thor, Frign, and Seater. It also notes a photographic portrait method using a movable mirror to improve likeness and mentions rebels during a cannonade near Charleston with casualties and damage.
