TAKE CARE OF LITTLE THINGs.-The
following abstract contains the substance Of
many sermons on the importance of little
things. Mr. Irving. in his " Life of wash
ingion," says that great and good man was
careful of small things, bestowing attention.
on the minutest affairs of his household as
closely Us upon the most important con-
Germs of the republic. The editor of the
Merchants Magazine, in speaking Of tho
fact. says: No man ever made fortune
or rose to greatness in any department,
without being careful of small things. As
The beach is composed Of grains of sand,
as the ocean is made Of drops of water, so
the millionaire's fortune is the aggregation
of the profits of single adventures, often
inconsiderable in amount. Every eminent
merchant, from Girard and Astor down,
has been noted for his attention TO details.
Few distinguished lawyers have ever prac-
iced in the courts who were not remarka-
ble for similar characteristic. 1t was one
Of the peculiarities of the first Napoleon's
mind. The most petty details of his house,
hold expenses, the most trivial facts rela-
tive to his troops, were in his opinion, as
worthy Of his attention as the tactics of
battle, the revising of code. Demos
themes. the worlds unrivalled orator, was
as anxious about his gestures or intonatious
as about the texture of his argument or
the grandeur of his words. Before such
great examples, and in the very highest
walks of intellect, how contemplate tho
conduct Of the small minds who can despise
small things"

WHAT is 1T THAT MAKES MuLIoN-
AIRES ?-What is the real capital Of mer-
camille firm? What is that which having
the finn prospers, aud which wanting the
firm goes down hill? Is it money? The
mcrest tyro in business knows that il is
not. 1t is business talent, saeacity, good
ideas, sound Judgment all in one word,
MIND! A single good idea makes hun
dred millionaires. A single mistake swamps
IA great est lblishment. Mere neglect, mere
ly not being up with the times causes a
man to be outstripped. Go into any
prosperous concern, and on becoming tamil-
lar with lis interior affairs, you will find
that the secret of its success is this - There
is knoaeing head there. That head may
be on the shoulders of junior partner, a
confidential clerk, or under the turf in
Greenwood, whence il yet speaks; but
there is mind somewhere, or the prosper
ity is delusion. No amount Of capital
can keep firm up long, after the ntelli-
gent soul is out of it.-M I. Ledger.

KEEPING THE LAw.-There was an
old Quaker who had an unfortunate repu-
tation of non-resistance. 1t was said that
any one could jostle him, tread on his toes
or tweak his nose with impunity; until one
market day clustering fellow, being told
that yonder was man who, if he was smit-
ten on one cheek, would turn the other also,
thought it would be sport TO try him. Step
ping up TO the sturdy, good natured Friend,
he slapped his face. The old man looked
at him sorrowfully for moment, then slow
ly turned his other cheek, and received
another buffet. Upon that he coolly pulled
off his coat Il have cleared the law"
said he, "and now thee must take it, And
he gave the cowardly fellow tremendous
thrashing.

How THE JAPANESE REsToRE FADED
FLoNERs.-Aftera boquet is faded beyond
all remedies of fresh water, tie japanese

simple and seemingly destructive operation.
A writer at Nangasaki says had re-
ceived some few days ago delightful bunch
of flowers from a Japanese acquaintance.
They continued 10 live IN their beauty for
nearly two weeks, when at last they faded.
Just as / was about to have them thrown

flowers. and told him that, though lasting a
long time, they had become useless 20,

them himself and held the stems ends in

Lost, ruined, forever lell behind, that home
is mine to-day as truly as it ever was, for
have not brought it away with me and
shown il to you? 1t was the home Of my
boyhood. In it found my first mental
food. aud by it was my young soul fashion
ed. To me, through weary years, and
many dangers and sorrows, it has been a
perennial fountain of delight and purifying
influences, simply because it was my home
and is part Of me. The rose at the gate

NEW CARrRIpGE.-The ordnance de-
partment has ordered new metallic cart
ridge TO be tested at West Point. The
case is made of tin, in the shape of a cone,
and las two weak points in its circumfer-
ence. When it is in the cannon, its apex
touches the breech-piece, and thus cham
Der is formed between the cartridge and the
cannon, said chamber being in the rear of
the cartridge. The cartridge is pricked by
forcing sharp instrument down through
the vent. When the charge explodes, a
portion of the gas escapes through the weak
points Of the cartridge into the air cham
ber, and, by its pressure, instantly forces
the metal case out of the gun. The value
of this cartridge lies in the fact of its load
ing at the muzzle, and clearing the cannon
at every shot in so perfect manner that
swabbing repeatedly is unnecessary.

SATISFACTORY Poor or DEATH.-By
a municipal regulation of the city of Mu-
nich, all corpses are kept for several days
in the dead-room before being interred.-
The bodies recline upon tables, and totheir
fingers is attached a bell cord, which would
sound an alarm at the slightest trembling of
finger, indicating a return to life. Not
withstanding these precautions in that pop
ulous city, the first instance of resuscitation
has not occurred in many years.
This plan was adopted in view of the
impression sometimes prevalent, that the
living are not unfrequcnhy buried. Tho
result shows that the liability TO mistake is
of extremely rare occurrence.

now rue RArroNs ARE Drawn.

The method of procuring the soldiers
rations is stated in communication from
the Office Of the Commissary General OF
Subsistence, as follows -
Each Captain of company makes to
his Colonel return, stating the number OF
men in his company, aud the number of
days drawn for, signed by him. These
company returns are consolidated by the
regimental Quartermaster, and signed by
the Colonel. This return is an order on
the depot or Brigade Commissary for that
quantity of stores and it is the duty of the
regimental Quartermaster to see that he re-
ceives the full amount, and that is all Of
good qualify.
When the stores reach the regiment, it
is the duty Of each Captain to see that his
company receive their due, as drawn for by
him on his return, and that the quality is
good"
The increase of ratioas, made by the act
of the last session gives each man now
pound Of pork or bacon, or II pound Of
fresh or salt beef sand p ounce Of bread or
-four, or pound of pilot bread
Beans, rice, potatoes, coffee, sugar, salt,
candles and soap are furnished at the old
rate, SO much to every 100 rations. The
quantity is ample, and the Commissary
General says" If the regimental Quar-
termaster and Captains attend 10 their duty,
the men must receive their full allowance as
set forth in the ration above; and not an
article but of good quality"
