ATTENTION TO LITTLE
THINGS.

Mr.. Irving, in his life Of Washington
says that great and good man was care
ful of little things bestowing attention on
tho minutes affairs of his household rs
closely ms upon the Republic. The editer
Of the Merchants Magazine, in speaking
of this fact says: No man ever made
a fortune, or rose to or atness in
any department, without being careful
of small things As the beach is COM
p"sed of grains of sand, as the ocean is
made up Of drops of water,so tho million
aires fortune is the aggregation of tho
profits of single adventures, often consid-
cradle in amount. Every eminent MGR
chant, from GARD and Astor down, has
been noted for his attention to details
Few distinguished lawyers have ever
practiced in the courts who have not been
remarkable for similar characteristic.
The most pretty details of his household
expenses, the most trivial opinion as worthy
of his attention rs tie tactics ola battle,
the plains of campaign, or the revision
of a code. Dem sthenes, the worlds un-
rival orator, was as anxious about his ges-
lures or intonations rs about the texture
eof bis argument or its graHiture Of words.
Before such great examples, and in the
very highest walks of intellect, how con-
temptible the conduct of the small minds
who despise small things

LIFE.

DR.. Chalmers says:-"The mere lapse
of years is not life. To eat, drink, and
sleep; to be exposed to darkness and
light; to pace around in the mill of hab-
its, and turn the mill Of wealth; to make
reason our bookeeper, and thought an
implement of trade; this is not life IN
all this but a poor fraction of the uncon-
sciousuess of humanity is awakened and
the sanctities still slumber which make it
worth while to be. Knowledge, truth.
love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can
give vitality to the mechanism o. exist
cnce: the laugh of mirth which vibrates
through the heart the tear which frcsh-
ems the dry waste within, the music that
brings childhood back, the prayer that
brings the future near, the death that
startles us with mystery, the hardship
which forces us to struggle, the anxiety
that ends in being.

Ever had the same low ending.
