True Greatness.

Mere decision of character, tax.
en- in a worldly sense, is insufficient
to produce true greatness of char.
acter. What is further needed is q
clear, commanding view of duty as
a clear, commanding view of duty
as one and unalterable, to be the
pole-star in the heavens. 1t is.
therefore, hard to over-rate the i'm
portance of cultivating this distinct
and unclouded apprehension of
right and wrong as permanent
mental habit. In order to attain
this, we must be often thinking of
moral questions, and settling prin-
clples before the hour of trial. In
this, likewise, men widely differ.
Happy is the youth that commences
early to mediate on such subjects,
and to clear his notions as to what
he ought to do in given emergen-
cies. He will find the bracing infiu-
ence of such views in moments when
all are shaking around him. Look
ing only at principles of eternal
right, he will go serenely forward,
even in the face of adverse popular
opinion. While weaker minds are
halting to collect the votes of the
masses, he will bare his bosom to
the shower of darts, and march up
to the acquisitions of conscience, in
spite Of the instant tyrant, or, what
Is often more formidable, of the
turbulent populace.-ReU. DR.. J.

Loves Question.

A little girl often followed after

"Father what can l do for you.''

Killing Weeds in Lawns.

The American Rural Home says
"Dock, Canada thistles, horseradish
dandelions, and other strong rooted
varieties,are frequent tenants of the
grass plot. They obstruct the lawn
mower, and when shaven as closely
as the grass, spring quickly into
prominence again. Per haps thebest
method of killing them out is to
use narrow bladed spade, or a
strong knife, which will cut the root
deep enough under the surface,
when it can be pulled up, and in
most cases will not grow again.
This, however, is not the case with
strong growing and extremely vital
plants, like horseradish, thistles and
dock. These require more frequent
treatment, and perhaps something
additional to the cutting. If lit
tie salt, or what is much better, ker
osene, can be applied to the cut sur
face of the roots, 1t generally kills
them completely,

Tests as to when a Plant needs
Water.

The marks by which it may be
known when the ball of pot plant
has become SO dry as to require
fresh watering are-the color of the
soil, its feel to the touch, the weight
of the pot, and the appearance ol
foliage, &c, of the plant. When
well supplied, its twigs and leaves
present an aspect of fulness and
stiffness; but as the ball becomes
dry, and less able to supply the
waste of evaporation, the foliage
becomes relaxed and dropping, and,
if unrelieved, begins to dry and
wither. In plants with soft, tender
leaves, when in full vegetation, this
appearance is very striking; but in
those with thick, leathery leaves, it
requires some experience to note
the change. If the latter, ON being
bent together, present some resist
ance, it is sign of dryness in the
ball, but the extent must be learned
by practice.

A Sermon on Push. {"

When cousin viii was at home
for vacation the boys always ex-
pected plenty of fun. The las,
frolic before he. went back to his
studies was long tramp after ha-
eel nuts.
AS they were hurrying along in
high glee, they came upon discour-
aged looking man and discouraged
looking cart.
The cart was standing full of ap-
pies before an orchard. The man
trying to pull it up hill to his
own house. The boys did not wait
to be invited, but ran to help with
good will. "Push, push," was the
cry.
Ihe man frightened up; the cart
trundled alongas fast as rheumatism
would do it, and in five minutes
they all stood painting at the top of
the hill.
"Obliged to ye," said the man /:
"you just wait minute" and hur-
ried in the house, while two or three
plnk-aproned children peeped out
of the door.

Does your little child, for whom
you have ever tenderly, and who
has perfect trust in your love and

thought that perhaps tomorrow you
will suddenly desert him in some
hour of great need? No, the thought
never for an instant occurs to him.

have been to your child? You in

Growth in.Grace.

Grow in grace; because this is
the only way you can be certain
that you have any grace at all. II
we aim not at growth in grace, we
have never been converted to godli-
ness. He that is satisfied with his
attainments, has attained nothing.
He that sees 30 little of the promis-
es of the inward, transforming, ele-
waiting influences Of graces, as to
think that he has attained all he
can desire, has never understood
the first elements of the Christian
life which aspires after perfection !;
we have desires awakened which
nothing but complete holiness will
satisfy. He who says he is con-
tent with his progress, has never
set out to heaven.-HALL.

Pickles and Pickle Making.

The season will soon be at hand
for gathering cucumbers for pick
ling, and as several correspondents
have written us for information in
relation to this matter, we give be-
low, directions from Mr.. VIM.
Archdeacon, of Chicago, one of the
largest fruiterers, picklers and pre-
servers in the city. For putting up
salt pickles, he says: l-9
Pick your cucumbers from two. to
four inches long, and use half a
bushel of good dairy salt to the
barrel. Take care that the salt is
pure and free from lime. Sprinkle
your salt among your cucumbers as
you put them in the barrel, but put
very little in, until your barrel is
half full. Put no salt in the bot
tom of your barrel. When your
barrel is full, or you have in all you
mean to put in for the day, put on
your cover and weights; see that
your cover is loose enough to work
free in the barrel, but not SO small
as to let out your cucumbers down.
Lastly, put water enough in the bar
rel to immerse the cover. Leave no
cucumbers over night without being
salted.
Forty gallon, Or whiskey barrels
are generally used for salt pickles.
When heading up the barrel see
that it is full of pickles and head it
SO that it will not leak. Salt pickles
will not keep out Of the brine; if
you intend keeping your pickles,
have them in a place where you can
examine them often, and if the brine
has leaked off, replace with fresh
brine of proper strength,
The Early-Frame variety of Gu
cumbers is preferred, and in pur-
chasing pickles in salt by the bar
rel, forty gallon or whisky barrel
Is the barrel size; pickles from two
to four inches long, and to average
from 5000 to 5000 to the barrel. III
they average smaller it is not OBJ
jectionable, but larger sized pickles
are; and soft and broken pickles are
useless.
The pickles should be hard, and
In good order, well covered with
brine, and the barrels well filed;
but pickles in uneven sized pack
ages, can be shipped and measured,
allowing the average of forty gal
Ions to the barrel. l.
