Have q Purpose.

individuals and nations are alike success
tul and prosperous in proportion rs they
have high aud decisive purposes in their
lives, toward the contamination Of which
they. rcsolutely bend their steps. Without
such purposes-such definite goals in view
both arc drifters on the lido of circum-
stance, the sport of whatever wind or cur
rent is for the long hour predominant We
have met not a few men, toiling and strug-
CLING hard enough, but always unsuccessful,
and what they attributed to hard or evil
destiny was, plainly, n want Of chart and
compass to their own lives. They were trust
ers TO the chances of forunc-men who saw
no fixed laws regulating the temporal con-
dltlons OF man, according to the consecu-
tivencss and unity of his labor; persons ev-
or ready to try any bat which, for the mo-
mcnt, seemed most alluring. They never
we'll considered path, nor pursued a ven-
ture rcsoIutcly to the end.
The proverb of The rolling stone gath
crs no moss" was al the secret of many
unfortunate hard AGsIers in tho world.
There is time in iife when every man
should appoint his course, and follow it with
carncstncss and faith {; and if it be honest,
ten to one it will prove rs profitable as hon
orable, in the end. After proper adaptation
Of man to his toll or profession. little is
requisite to. Il triumph but steady pursuit
of it. The Eumblest trades and avocations
have awarded competence and honor to
those who made them the fixed purpose Of
their toll. There must be definite purpose
in effort, however honest and earnest, or it
may curse a man even more than idleness
and to do a humble work well, is better
than to fruitlessly attempt the greatest en-
tcrprise. ..g ..

Crime IN New York.

The semi-anpnaf report ffom, the chief ot
poieekof New York city exhibits an inter.
resting STATISTICAL view Of thecrime as shown
by the opaItions of the police. The whole
number Of AieAtain six rfiontlrs for criminsl
otencesiwas 2b, ,ffG $50 that f each arrest
was Of g different person, alb "a. onestwenty-
fourtn o1 the popHfanon would have been
taken In custody during the half year: but
it isfwell known that great numberSpf6ba-
bly, g majority, are old offenders WHO are
repeatedly arrested, and the number of often
ces is therefore much less than the number
Of arreata The number Of persons arrested
for the most aerous, class Of crimes was as
follows murder 4s; arson.l d robbery in the
first degree 20; burglary IFS; forgery
IS passing counterfeit money 115; perjury
8; grandlarceny 5e2. There was an In
Grease of 8,397 arrests as compared with
the corresponding six months, but this, in.
Icrease is attributed not to the greater fire.
4ueneysof crime, but to the increase. .Siei-
!ance and activity Of the.police. There have
been no greater number of offenders, but
fewer offences have been committed with
ilRunity. ,.o
From tlstabestLat accompany the report
we lind that out Of the whole number ar
rested inEthree months third more were
males than females; nearly three times as
many were single as, married; about one
fourth had no trade, and about an equal

The Petersburg >lntelligenecr, in an arti:
Gle headed Literature at the South" refers
to some recent taunts of the Tribune, in re-
iation to tie warm reception of Putnam's
Magazine ut tie South. The Intelligencer
makes some quotations Of very insulting
character from the Tribune, and applies to
them the following remarks, which deserves
universal attention.
"What is remarkably curious too" it says,

We copy the following notice Of this
Territory from the Nebraska Palladium
paper recently commenced Mt Belyicw :
"That portion of Nebraska III which the
Indian titles have been cxtinguislcd, and is
now open for settlement, is equal in extent
to the six New England States, and situated
Immediately west Of the States Of Iowa,
Missouri, and the Territory of Minnesota :;

Missouri river and divided by the great Nc
braska, which has its source i'll tue South

ers, for distance Of from five hundred to
one thousand miles According to the
statement Of experienced nayigators on the
Upper Missouri, tire Nebraska is now n
much better stream for navigation than the
Missouri was twenty-five years ago. With
in that time, both of these mighty rivers
have undergone remarkable changes, which
arc highly favorable to commercial purpo-
scs. Their waters have concentrated into
narrower and deeper channels, and the
change is still progressing, and will contin-
NC to increase with tho increase Of com
mercc, until navigation will be easy, safe,
and consequently cheap. lin addition to
the commercial facilities afforded by these
magnificent rivers, there nre numerous 9TH
ers of less magnitude suitable for keel boats,
flats, RATS, &C., dividing the country i'll vari-
GUS directions, in such II way as to bring
their advantages within convenien: distance.
The face of the country presents rich
variety of platcaus and gentle unduations,
