Mrs. Jalia A. Fletcher Carney, who wrote the famous poem, "Little Things," celebrated r8lstbtrt birthday at Galesburg, It1,, on Wednesday, April G, She is hale and hearty and retains her remarkable mental faculties. Following is the poem, which has been trauslated iuto many languages, recited and sung, in all the civilized countries of the world: Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean Aud the beauteous land. So the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity. So our little errors Lead the soul away From the path of virtue, Far in cin to stray. Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Help to make earth happy, Like the heaven above. The poem was written in 1845, when Mrs. Carney was a school teacher in Boston. Her object in writing the lines was to impress upon the minds of her pupils the importance of little things, Mrs. Carney's husband, who was a Uzi• versalist minister, died in Galesburg in 1871.
