A fragmented poem reflects on nature as a divine language. It speaks of earth, air, and light as living teachers, praising creation’s omnipresence. The verses invoke celestial imagery, dew, leaves, and the sun to reveal wisdom and the unity of all existence.
An aged traveller seeks shelter with a circuit preacher in Springfield Ohio. The youth and household snub him while the Bishop later admonishes the minister, sharing bread and humility. The tale ends with the bishop’s support at a later conference, illustrating mercy and reform.
The Augusta Age recalls Jackson with martial imagery and sorrow, praising a stain-free life and noble death. It extols his country’s pride, links his memory to the Mississippi and freedom’s line, and laments Washington’s legacy fading from memory.
A historic note recalls H. 8. Breckenridge, a young judge of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, declining a duel with witty objections. He quips about cannibals and buffalo meat while proposing to measure a barn door for pistols, then mentions avoiding harm by staying distant. A later item jokes about Oregon penalties and a fined criminal for a challenge.
The Argus records a territorial proclamation calling for a day of Thanksgiving and prayer on a Tuesday in December. It urges residents to worship, confess sins, seek pardon, and ask divine blessings for civil and religious privileges, industry, reform, and moral elevation under God. The notice is signed from Madison with the Great Seal affixed.
In September 1815 Monadnock L Manrin was elected as a delegate to the U S House of Representatives for a two year term. The record, dated November 1845 in Madison, Wisconsin Territory, notes completion of the election and official certification under territorial provisions.
A reader cites the Washington Union to argue factory hours harm workers, detailing twelve to thirteen hour days for female operatives in factories, with scant meals and dawn-to-dusk labor.
