NOTHING IS BENEATH TAE AT
TENTION OF A GREAT MAN-
This short sentence is insribeJ
over the door of the small building
in Holland which was once the work
shop of Peter the Hreat, and furnish
es, more than volumes of common
descriptions could do, an insight into
the character of the man who raised
the Muscovites from the deepest bar
barism to the rank of civilization, &
laid the foundation of an empire, the
extent of which the world as yet
seems little able to comprhend. :
One of the most fatal errors to which
men are subject is the disposition to
treat small matters with contemptu
ous indifference; forgetting that great
things are but small ones, and that
discoveries and events of the great
importance to the world can be trac
ed to things most insignificant in
themselves. Nothing more truly
makes an original mind, ami stamps
its possessor as a truly great man
than the seizure of circumstances
which would pass unnotice I by the
great multitude, and by subjecting
them to the powerful analysis of his
reasoning powers, deducing infer
ences of the greatest practical re
sults.
Ihe loadstone to attract iron has
!)een known from time immemorial;
, accident discovered the fact that a
I magnetized needle would indicate
the north, but for a long time this
1 truth was productive of no result. —
’ In ihe hand of Flavia ( »oja of Amal
i fi it produced the mariner’s compass
. an instrument which has changed the
' whole course of commerce, 4* open
ed America and Au tratia to tin rest
ofthe world. To mention only one
i of the things that the use ofthe com
-1 pass in maratime discovery has led
’ to-it has given the potato to !• tiropc
and thus trebled the means of subsis
tence as well as doubled the popula
tion.
W e owe the Galvanic Voltaic bat

has yet seen, to Madame Galvaiiius

I touched by a person on whom her
r husband was at the moment making
some experiments oi Gab a:ii & Vol
ta were followed up by • avy, Hare,
and Silliman, and eliects w hit h han
astonished and instruett <1 the worltl
have been the result. 'l'he drv Gal
vanic pile in the hands of the discov
erer, De Lue, was nothing more
than a scientific plaything. Si >ger
ol London, a mechanic of genius,
saw the pile, and applied the power
thus generated to moxiiig the ma
efiiuery of a watch; <V one construct
ed by ii has now run in h e t han sixteen

A chemist wa> at wo?k, in his la
botary preparing lor a cer
tain purpose. A spark fell into this,
composition and it e.xplo led; k from
that day gunpowder was discovered.
Some may question the utility of th s'
discovery , but we do not. (iunpow -
der has matt iially aided the miner,'
the louihler anti ihe chemist; it has
made war, where now carried on be-j
tween nations, a much less evil than
formerly; but more than all, it has
given internal order and tran
quility to the kingdoms of Eu
rope by knocking down those stro g
holds of feudal barbarism and tiuel
ty, the < astles of a haugty anti domi
neering nobility, and t la mg the
weak, so far as rt gards protection I
by law, and security to persons and J
property, on akvcl with the highest.
A Verman peasant carved letters
on the bark of a beech tree, & with
them stamped characters on paper
for the amusement of his children.
Nothing more was thought of this;
but from it Faust conceived and exe
cuted moveable type; and printing,
an art that perhaps has exercised a
greater influence on the destiny of
mankind than any other, thus had a
beginning.
Galileo was at a church in Flor
ence where a drovvay Dominician
was hoiding forth on the merits ofthe
Virgin and the miracles ofthe Holy
Church; things about which the phi
i losophers cared very little. The
principal lamp of the church had
been left suspended in such a man
ner that it swung to anti fro by the
slightest breath, and caught the eye
of the philosopher.—The regularity
I of its oscilations struck him, and the
idea, of employing such vibrations to
measure time occured. Galileo left
the church and returned to his study
& in a short time the first pendulum
ever made was swinging.
Some children playing with the
glasses of a Dutch spectacle maker,
■ I accidentally placed two so that the
; steeple of a church appeared much
. nearer and turned bottom upwards.
From this small beginning was pro
duced the telescope; an instrument
which more than any other, has cn
. i larged the boundaries of the universe
’ I and given to man more exalted ideas
, of that being who spake all these
. worlds into existence.
About one hundred and fifty years
ago, an old man might have been
. seen in his study, appearantly amu
. sing himself by r witnessing the escape
. of steam from an old wine bottle and
then instantaneously plunging it in
. to the cohl water. There are mul
. titvdes who wuld sneer at an observer
I of nature who could stoop to notice
such a trifle; yet this expansion and
condensation of steams in the wine
bottle, and the thoughts which it sug
gested, in the hands ofthe Marquis
of Worcester, gave birth to the
Steam engine, the most valuable pre
sent Science ever made to the Arts.
'These very men who are now filled
with delight and astonishment when
they behold the beautiful steamboat
. majestically ploughing the waves or
the steam car whirling in a train of
carriages over the rail road with al
most the rapidity of thought would
be the first to look and speak with
contempt of the train of causes which
led to sti< h results.
But perhaps the example of New
ton, more than any other, conclusive
ly proves that there is in the whole
circl ■ of nature, nothing trifling to u
truly great mind. Thousands had
seen apples fall from the trees to the
earth; yet no one had ever asked the
question whether the cause that
caused the apple to fall to the earth
> extended to the moon? vet this
question and : ts solution was the key
that has unlocked the mechanism of
the utiivt r.ie, & given to man power
and ideas, which could otherwise ne
ver have existed.
1 he great truths these examples
inculcate is this—that there is noth
ing trifling in nature, nothing that is
not worthy of attention and reflection
nothing that does not form part of
the great ch' n of cause and effect,
and cooscq eutly capable of leading
to the . moss ofthe tiller of the soil
to think. If this is not true, the,
position should be exploded at once
It is scarcely possible for a man to
be more favorbly situated for an ob
servation of nature than the farmer.
His business is with the soil he treds
upon, u i.h its various constituents
then ever varying proportions—with
’he green earth and its coverim? of
