ATTENTION TO LTrrLE THINGs.-Mr. sTr.
wing in his life of Washington, says that
great and good man was careful uf small
things" bcstowing attention on the minutest
affairs of his household as closely as upon The
most important concerns of the Republic.
The Editor of the Merchants Magazine, in
speaking of this fact, says:
p" No man ever made fortune, or rose to
greatness III any department without being
I" careful of small things" As the beach is
composed of sand, as the ocean is made up of
drops of water so the ulilionare's fortune is
the aggregation of the profits Of single adj
ventures often inconsidcrlblo in amount
Every eminent merchant, from Girard and
sAstor down, has heen noted for his attention to
details. Few distinguished lawyers have ever
practScd III the courts who lave not been re-
nlarkabe for a similar characteristic. 1t was
one of the most striking peculiaritics of the
first Napoleon's mind
The most potty details of his household OK
pcnscs, the most trivial facts relating to his
attention as the tdctcs of battle, the plans of
a campaign, or the revision of code De
mosthenes, the worlds unrivalcd orator, was
as anxious about his gestures or intonations
as about the texture of his argument or its
garniturc Of words Before such great exam
pies, and in the very highest walk of Intellect,
how contemplate the conduct of the small
minds who despisc small things"
TuE TooTHAcmE,-Our contemporary of
the Southern Mercury has doubtless often
" enjoyed that peculiar sensation which nc
companies the tocthachc, and orccts the fol-
lowing standard as a prerequisite to full
aud satisfactory realization Of the I" dccctabo
pain ;"
"To enjoy this delectublo pain to its fullest
extent, you should have it IN all its glory for
about a week. Let the pain permcate and
lns'nuate into every portion of the diseased
member, racing, jumping and springing
around generally like rats in corn crib; let
it ache until you can't tell whether the pain
is in your mouth, ON the top of your head, or
in yool cravat, but rather think it is all around
there; lcS it ache until you feel likeit would
be great eief to hold your head up by the
ears and shah" out every molar, incisor, grind
or and acher in It; let it ache until you are
doubtful whether Sdu stap3 in the position
that nature assigned you, or with our heels
IN the air; let it ache until you seriously be-
Iicvc that every bone, nerve and muscle about
your body is full of teeth, and that every tooth
is aching on its own hook, and then, when
you feel like you have enough pain in your
individual mouth to fit out hospital-whcn
YOU feel like kicking yourself down stairs
when you are exceedingly anxious to fall down
somewhere and break your cck-theu, we
repeat, you will begin TO realize the tooth
ache"
DURING the late Indian rebellion young
