The name Of Coleridge is familiur To every
scholar. He has, and still has, a world-wide
reputation. And yet, at home, he was the VIC
tim Of the brutalzing passion.
1t was known, for some time before his death,
that he was incorporate. 1t seems now, that he
acknowledged his crime, and declared that it
ought TO be made known. Mr.. CorrIE, who
has published the "reminiscences of Coleridge
and Southey, says, in consequence. that con-
ceament of it would have been injustice to the
living, and treachery TO the dead
The mighty man felt his degradation. 1t
haunted him night and day. While racked BY
conscience, and s,ung by remorse, he wrote Of
himself as follows:
Conceive poor miserable wretch, who for
many years has been attempting TO beat off pain
by constant recurrence 10 the vice that re- pro-
duces il, Conceive a spirit in hell, employed
in tracing out for others the road TO that heaven
from which his crimes exclude him. In short,
conceive whatever is most wretched, helpless,
and hopeless, and you will form as toerable a
notion Of my state as it is possible for good
man to have.

he who ofends in one point, offends in all, very

mise--nay. too often. actual falsehOod."

Itisthis love of it which makes US breathe with

Nothing can be more terribly grand than the
poets description of Hell. But He who rules

the Catholic Association. at will not work"
was his reply. IL will make it work." was
o'Connell's laconic rejoinder.
The principles of the Association were
drawn up, and place Of meeting agreed upon ;
the psrlor back of a booksellers shop in Dublin
Ten men were necessary to form it. One meet
ing was held without the requisite number ;
another, and another, and Yet another, with like
result There were eight at the fifth meeting /;
they had been together some two hours, and
were about separating, when voices were heard
in the shop. O'Connell entered. He found
there three Divinity students, who, by the rules
of the Association, were members. He pressed
them to enter the parlor they hesitated he
pushed them in, exclaiming, with laundering
voice, 1--WE are constituted. Mr.. Shiel, call on

From that hour the waves of Catholic Eman-

There has been a fearful loss of life this year

Strange. Why should not man saw whether

We members Of the craft must not dupe our

all cases. The truth. Facts on which that
truth rests /. And what do we do one half the

1t is the sticking to bad rules, expressing wit

The Legislature Of Massach usetts, during it,
last session, passed an act to establish State
Reform School.
Westborough, in the county Of Worcester, Is
the site chosen for 1t, and the object Of the
school is, "for the instruction, employment and
reformation Of Juvenile offenders"
The government Of the school is vested in
seven Trustees, who are TO DO whatever may be
necessary, subject, only, to the approval Of the
Governor and Council. The necessary build
ings are to be erected forthwith. When erect
ed, the Governor is To proclaim the fact, and
then any boy, under the age Of sixteen, who
shall be convicted for any offence, except such
as dooms him to imprisonment for life, may be
sent BY the Courts. or Justices, before whom he
is convicted, to the Reform School. While
there, he is to be kept. disciplined, instructed,
employed, and governed, until he is reformed,
bound out, or discharged. II incorrigible, he is
to be remanded to prison, if prejudicial to the
school, to be removed. All commitments are
limited for term not longer than during min
GRITTY, nor less than one year. Power to bind
The boys committed are to be instructed in
piety and in morality, and in such branches Of
useful knowledge may be suited to their age;

either mechanical, agricultural, horticultural,
manu- featuring, or a combination of these, re-
gard being had to their strength, disposition, and
capacity.
Then follows a minute detail as to the duties
Of officers, the manner in which the school
shall be managed, &c.
| TIE establishment Of this school is an impor-
tant Legislative step. II is the first Of the kind
taken by State, and, We trust, it will be gener-
ally followed. Society does its duty poorly,
and Governments meet their obligations mean
ly, when every child has not the means given it
Of a thorough education, and the opportunity
afforded Of certain and regular employment,
with just recompense for labor done. Our re-
ligion enforces this as a holy duty. Patriotism
demands it. The interest of every man. no less,
urges to the accomplishment of this object.
And if this were dOne-if every child had this
education and this opportunity. and labor was
sure Of its reward, the heavy cost. and immense
treasure, yearly entailed upon cities and States
by their wrong criminal systems. and inhuman

Is it not time for Legislators. and Legislatures,
TO look thoroughly into this subject

In W for the Rich.

There is nothing SO important about law.
suPposing it TO be just, as, certainty. ANY wa
vering of the courts, any shufiling or evading of
its spirit or letter, from fear, or favor, is terri
BILE evil, and brings with it always the heavies,
calamities. Certainly, therefore, in the law
should be regarded fixed as the law itself
Ii is no uncommon thing to hear the remark
made in kentucky-''there is no law for the
Rich" Passing by a crowd the other day, we
heard the subject discussed BY plain citizens,
and one of the speakers, wound up the CONVEX
sation. with the remark, TO which the res, gave
assent, 'that it was no use trying to hang man
for murder, if he or his friends had money, or
influence.
This is a bad state of public feeling, and there
is not man who has rights or property who
is not interested in changing it. If the law be
badly administered one way, it will be badly az
ministered another. If il permits corruption
by acts of omission, it will create corruption BY
acts Of commission. There is no escape. We
should, therefore, through the Press, and by
public opinion, seek TO check such abuses, and.
TO force the humblest man TO acknowledges th,,
his rights were as secure, and his property as
safe. as the richest. Indeed, if the law be lust,
and administered justly, this will be the convic-
ton.
They set us good example--we mean the
press-in England on this subject The papers
universally, Times, Examiner, Chronicle, Spec
tator. demand exact and even Justice to all.
An instance is before us. The Hon. Mr.. Arun-
del disgraced himself, and violated the law.
But he was gentleman. and an effort was made
to release him. Thereupon the papers de.
nounce such step unsparingly, and one Of
them remarks:
III the sentences Of magistrates are to be set
aside. in case offenders be OF the higher classes
it will be better at once to introduce into the
statutes. exceptions, of persons entitled to ar
mortal bearings. The plea is, that imprison.
ment is n heavier offence to gentlemen than 10
low people, and this is true, but the offence Of
gentleman is also always greater than that of
low person: The gentleman is bound TO set
better example, &c"
1t is very shocking that person of gentle.
manly feelings should be sent to the tread mill
undoubtedly, but persons of gentlemanly feel.
ings will take care TO avoid such shame and
degradation, if no exceptions be made in favor
of rank and condition
But let the question be settled openly and
honestly one way or the other. Let there
be one law for the rich, and another for the moor
or else let the law, in practice, accord with the
letter. If the worst Of outrages are to be par.
doned in the persons of the aristocracy, after
committal, declare their impunity before hand,
and spare the dishonesty of the false pretences
Of impartiality, and even justice.
This is fair reasoning. None can dispute its
correctness, or deny its justice.
