FIX YouR MiND. Lay il down rs a
sound maXim-Nothlng can be accom-
pllshed without fixed purpose con
ccntration Of mind aud energy. What
ever YOU attempt TO do, whether it be
the writing of an essay, or whiting of a
plug, let IL be done as well as you can do
It. 1t was this habit made Franklin and
Newton, aud hundreds whose labors
have been of uucalculable service to
mankind. FIX your mind closely and
lniently on what you undcriake-in no
other way can you have reasonable
hope of success. An energy that does
in a day is good for nothing, AN hours
fixed attention will never avail. The
heavens were not measured in day
The inventions that bless mankind were
not the result Of few moments thought
and investigation. A life time has often
been given TO single object If you,
then, have a desire to bless your species
or to get to yourself glorious name, fix
your mind upon the object and the means
OF accomplishing it and prosecute it with
energy and perseverance,.

While the sun e,hules the dew.
Hark the mower whe,s the seythe'
See the grass before him fall,
Now TO lunch he hssens blithe,
To the ,hel,erng lived wall
81 went by the field of the slofhful, and
10, il was all grown over with weeds - and
then wen, on to the field Of the indusfri.
Gus and frugal, and behold, the cultivator
had passed between the roes of the waving
corn, and the hands aud the hoe had cleared
off the weeds, and the field was clean and
beautiful to the eye of the husbandman and
the traveller What an amazing difference
between the field aud the mind of the
slothful and the industrious farmer With
the one every thing is " out at the elbows y
with the other, all is thrift and order and
neainess and prosperity. July is the month
to ply the hoe and swing the scyihe. At
tend to the meadow and the cofn-field, and
see that neither the potatoe patch nor the
corn, nor the wheat, nor the oat field is neg
lected. Attend to hay-making, and see TO
it that every thing on the farm that can be
converted into fodder is carefully cured
and saved as defence against long winters
and short crops. Buck and Brindle will
thank you by their looks if not by their
smiles. A man Of energy will make the
most of every hour, and secure his hay
while the sun shines one of an opposite
character lounges away his time and suf-
fers his hay TO be caught in the rain and
balfspoiled or if the latter should have
the good fortune of the continuance of dry
weather his hay will be a week longer in
the field than his neighbors, and all its sap
and sweetness dried up by the sun Come,
neighbor Jenkins, we must be on the alert
among our men, and give our personal ex-
ample and attendance. Better say come"
than I" 60" A soft and encouraging word
is better than the threat or the bottle. Be
brisk among the hay and see that it is
well spread, stirred often, cooked up at
night and opened, in the morning it until it
is sweet and savory to the cattle as green tea
TO lady's pallet. Cutting down hay in IA
hurry, and carting it into the barn before
it is half cured, is poor economy, and pro-
vokes the cattle to waste their fodder, and
is quite apt to give them a cough
Those who cram their barns full of half
made hay are sure to "pay dear for the
whistle" Please wake up, neghbor brow
sy Your field is dressed out in all the
pride of modern dandy-if your yellow
weed is not cut in the blow It's lost.
High cleaning now the So d'spliy,
His unveiled face, end pour, a blaze

Again we say-takc heed and not drink
too much cold water. Dear Margaret.

beer, and we'll away again to the field, the

CORRESPONDENCE or THE JOURNAL COMMERCE.
PARIS, December rs: 1851.
You viii overlook the editorial articles of the Lon
don press concerning the reception Of Kossuth at New
York That Of the Morning Chronicle Of the 23d instant
particularly engaged my attention All the writer's have
the notion that the Hungarian chief to be used for
eectoneering purposes. Several of our Paris editors
have treated the subject They notice Kossuths
scodng and poutng in reference to what passed at wash
ington in the Senate and suppose him to have meant
You shall not have the opportunity Of making political
capital out of me if you do not fulfil my expectations and
aims" They think that the slayeholding gentlemen do
wei to beware of worshippng missionary of the school
to which he belongs. They anticipated a stupendous
manifestation on his arrival and one Of them Ia Democra
said after quoting the London statement scarcely
dble of the appearance of the American Consul at South
ampton the coach box of the vehicle which Kossuh
and Lord Dudley Stuart entered the town, Now, We
may hear that the President Of the Union and his Minis
tiers embarrassed the horses Of the Hungarian chief and
put themselves in the place Of the animals"
Hungarian independence is deemed here improbable
as the resurrection Of Poland The Emperor Of Russia
has FIVE armies Of fifty thousand men, each held ready
his frontiers to act on Central Europe Louis Ma
polcons coup edi hoe preeIudOd that general continental
instruction in 1852 upon which Kossuh seems to have
counted Without there cannot be the least chance
for Democratic struggle, any solidarity" Of the na-
tons. The British Government knows that if monarchy
should be prostrnted the continent the throne Of Vic
tora would stand very few years Thus If Lord
Pamerson had continued where he was real aid could
be hoped from that quarter Louis Napoleon is likely to
prove surer ally Of the Royalties than would be any
Bourbon.
The Journal des Debats Of yesterday has an editorial
column on Kossuth's American campaign, and furnishes
translation Of several passages Of Of his speeches.
which it regards appeal from the General Govern
ent to the people at large who counseed to repu
diote and override the Washington neutral policy The
article Of the Courier ds Eats UHi is copied, wherein
notice is taken Of the mysfcaon in the matter Of the
feuds between Kossuth on one hand and Capt. Long
and the American Consul the other The Journal la
Pays of yesterday has two editorial columns with the title
Kossuth in the United States" Astonshment and re-
pret are expressed ut the nornacy Of the manifestations
and the public alteration little consistent with the dig
nifty and sobriety which should distinguish the Anglo
Saxon race and genuine republic.
