A garbled childlike verse about Casa Wappy from Ediburgh. The text laments loss and memory, mentioning a late Professor Morr and a hearth, with scattered lines describing a house, garden, and a crying absence. The incomplete lines suggest mourning and longing for a child.
The piece argues that women are underpaid and poorly prepared for common trades. It urges thorough training in productive vocations, especially cooking and sewing, so women earn fair wages and gain security. It stresses educating girls to support themselves and resist poverty after marriage.
A broad essay contrasts women’s limited roles with the need for wider employments and dignity in work. It discusses dressmakers, clerks, and other indoor jobs, then shifts to a New Jersey timber swamp scene, describing logs, shingles, and long-lasting peat forests. The piece closes with a moral on cherishing affection and not trifling with love.
The piece notes Washington prepares for a winter of grand entertainments as wartime crowds defend the capital. It foresees a new aristocracy forming amid conflict while public mood shifts from mourning toward celebrations hosted by the executive mansion and society circles.
A letter to the editor urges publication of a hymn by Dr. Muhlenberg founder of St Luke’s Hospital. The page also reports on Confederate and British naval actions, including Japanese defenses at Kagoshima and critique of England’s naval stance and prospects.
The text notes Iceland as a sparsely populated island with about seventy thousand residents. It describes a strong literacy tradition, four inland parishes and four newspapers, 60 yearly volumes, many colleges and academies, and domestic schooling. Lutherans lead a church landscape of about 300 churches and 380 settlements.
Irving recalls the 1840 Notre Dame marriage procession of Louis Napoleon and Eugenie Montijo and muses on their fate and the fragile aura of empire.

He ends by reflecting on the readers’ interest in Dumas like fiction and the spectacle of court life.
