Reflections for the Thoughtful.

Strange that countless human beings exist and
drag through life as do the beasts Of the field, OF
the nsects Of the earth, eyincing no moro thought
or reelection than though the noble faculties Of mind
were not vouchsafei to them.
Many such are husbands and fathers, upon whom
are dependent the health, the wel-being, and the
happiness os a cOnfding and alIectionate wife, With
perhaps a family oil children.

b@~ During the exhibition Of tn 9
circus in this village, a few weeks since,
drunken brawl took place between a
negro, by the name of Prince Wheeler,
who belonged in North Stonington, and
an Irishman by the name of
of Stonington. The Irishman,
who seemed the person the most in fault,
was, after a considerable resistance,
taken before Justice Sheffield and fined
On being liberated, he went in search
of the negro, and finding him near his
place of residence, he proceeded to beat
him in such a manner that when he left
him he was unable to move from the
place, and has since died of the exposure
and wounds. He is under arrest and
held to trial.

Deg We learn that VIM. N. Sherman, /,

SIS long and successful connection with
the Patriot, gives him thorough knowl-
edge of the newspaper business, and we

ficence which founded it; but we do
not know that there is much praise due
the man who does good or a noble
deed with his money after he finds that
he must resign it. The man who boards
his wealth as long as he has breath in
his body and then leaves it for the pur-
pose of erecting some monument to per-
petuate his name is, in our opinion, but
a poor specimen Of the noble man. We
understand that it was Mr.. Astor's
original idea to erect statue of him
self; and probably would have done so
had he not been surrounded by men who
Influenced him to make a more worthy
disposition of the intended memorial
So that, although MI. Astor did really
perform an act which will hand his name
down to posterity as great public
benefactor, we cannot sec that he should
be sainted for the act, as some Of our
contemporaries seem almost to think he
should. However we cannot do less
than say to him, requiescat IN pace.

THE REPORT upon Public Schools
and Education, in the State of Rhode
Island made to the Legislature, Janu-
ary, 1854, by e. r. Potter, Commits
sioner of Public Schools, furnishes much
valuable statistical matter in reference
to educational interests of this State, as
also many valuable hints and suggestions
as to how the system may be farther
improved. The School system of this
State is in a very credable condition !;
but it is not yet perfect.
The MERCHANTS JOURNAL, is the

1t is lurgc paper, and is to be devoted
to Literature, Science, Arts, Business,
News, Education, Morals, Health,
Humor, Amusement, Drama, &c. The
initial number is good one and prom
ises fair for valuable paper.
GRAHAM's MAGAZINE, for May con-
tains continuation of the pictorial Life
of Washington, by j. Il. Headley-a
valuable historical contribution, and one
which We think must make this periodi-

bears-Americam Monthly. George R.

body, so that when taken up life was
extinct.
B@- The following was handed in
after the above was in type -
Such is the simple announcement Of
another Of runs murders, done under
sanction of law in Connecticut. Poor
Richard We knew him we'll. He was
a true son of Erin, with warm heart,
generous impulses, and a cultivated
mind, not bound down in the shackle of
Popery, but free to act out the honesty
of his heart. Dame Fortune, too, had
smiled more propitiously upon him once.
He had cultivated his own farm, lived
in his own homestead, and held offices
of public trust and responsibility in the
land of his birth. But the tide of for
tune changed, and he sought a home
among us. His honesty and perse-
vercnce gained the confidence of his
employers, and he found no difficulty in
hiring money upon the strength of his
"promisc to pay" for the purpose Of
bringing his family from Ireland. Part
came, but his two sons were left beneath
the waves Of the Atlantic, victims to the
soulless avarice of ship agents. Six
months have passed; he had nearly
cleared himself from debt, and every.
thing promised well for the future. But
he had one fault. The very generosity
of his nature forbade him to refuse the
tempting bowl, when pressed by friends
and he'was what is called a moderate
drinker. From some cause he had
drank much more than usual that night
and coming home upon the railroad, had
fallen into a +" cattle guard" from which
he was trying to extricate himself when
the cars came past. What a warning
to those who only occasionally tip the
glass. d.
