With the verses: "Events of a Hail-storm," "Love Met by Contempt," "To an Indian Arrowhead," "Prayer to the Owl from Gxxxxx," "Intemperance," and those with the first lines: "God of all truth and temperance," "I am your friend A. Sydney Southworth," and "Then do not weep alone her fall" by Southworth.

Expresses his religious and philosophical ideas; his criticisms of society; his inner conflicts, especially those between his spiritual goals and his "alimentiveness" and other physical wants; his friendship for Mr. Burleigh; and his sympathy with him at the death of Ellen Byrne. Discusses J. O. Wattles. Describes a fireworks display in Boston on July 4, 1843, and tells his feelings about his [Southworth's] voyage to Jamaica.
