Show THINGS are great or small depending on the end of the microscope through which we look. Some people manage to look at their troubles through the upper end, and so incontinently magnify them, and at their good fortune through the lower end, and so minimize them. The story is told of a man of science who looked at a mite taken from an old fashioned ??, and who was in turn looked at- He turned the instrument up and down, Till, getting a ?? sight he Exclaimed-as he gazed with ?? frown-"Good gracious" and "Highly ??!" The ?? is enough to ?? the town-A mite is a monster mighty!" While the philosopher was looking down the mite looked up, and his reflections are worth attending to, together with the moral which the poem deduces: "One sees the truth through this tube so tall," Said the mite as he ?? through it; "Man is not wondrously big after all, If the ?? world only knew it!" Moral. Whether a thing is large or small Depends on the way you view it! |
