GODS LOVE.

Suppose a meadow in which million
daisies open their bosoms all at one time
to the sun. On one of them, while it
yet is bud, little stone has fallen.
At once crushed and overshadowed, it
still struggles bravely against all odds
to expand its petals like the rest For
many days this effort is continued with
out success. The tiny stone "a mighty
rock to the tiny fower) squats on its
breast, and will not admit single sun
beam. At length the fower-stalk. hav-
ing gathered strength by its constant
exertion acquires force enough to over
balance the weight and toss the intruder
off. Up springs the daisy with a bound /;
and in an instant another foweret is
added to the vast multitude which in
that meadow drink their fill of sunlight.
The sun in the heaven is not incommoded
by the additional demand. The new
conner receives into its open cup as many
sunbeams as it would have received al
though no other flower had grown in all
the meadow-in all the earth. Thus
the sun, finite though it be, helps us to
understand the absolute infnitude of its
Maker. When an immortal being, long
crushed and turned away by load Of
sin, at length, through the power of a
new spiritual life, throws off the burden
and opens with bound to receive &
Heavenly Fathers long offered but re
jected love, the giver is not impoverished
by the new demand upon his kindness
Although thousand millions should
arise and 60 to the Father, each would
receive as much of the Fathers love a
if he alone of all fallen creatures hac
come back reconciled to God.- William
AY7a0t.

A LESSON AT THE FURNACE.

In the iron works of Cleveland there
is a vast open-mouthed furnace into
which six tons of metal are thrown at
once. The fires are lighted, and an i'm
mense fan, revolving twenty thousand
times minute, projects stream of air
through the molten mass with terrific
roar, while the flames with lurid glare
issue from the top. At first the color of
the smoke is black, then indigo; and
finally, when the experienced eye of the
master sees the pure white fame, he
stops the blast and stays the heat. Then
the metal is laid on mighty anvil, and
hammered by weight of hundred and
fifty pounds by which the steel is hard
ened. AS in the melting, so in the hard
ening, the masters knowledge of his
business is all-important. There is no
needless expenditure of fire force, no
waste of blows, and no exposure to the
blazing blast after the desired end is
accomplished in process of publication
and Strengthening. Human lives abound
in parallel experience. The elimination
of earthly dross from them and the pro-
cess by which they are fitted to endure
hardness by Gods service, are not CRATE
full to the flesh. The thought, however,
that Gods eye is kindly turned toward
US when pains furnace-heat burns within
us, should temper the anguish and hush
the complaint. The 'need be" of every
trial, and the assurance that its continu-
ance is but for moment compared with
the glory to follow, should not only rec
oncile US to but make us rejoice in trib-
ulations, with the ejaculation of victo-
rious faith upon our lips, mot my will,

THE SAVING OF GRASS SEED.

It would really seem from an examln-
alton of the meadows that there were
more of the white daisy and some other
kinds of weeds than there used to be
some fifteen or twenty years ago. At
the present, large part of the fields are
more or less infested with them. and
when in bloom are most painfully dis
tinct. and seem to reflect upon the farm
er in some way for want of judgment
or thoroughness in his occupation. But
it would not seem that it is from lack
of proper cultivation of the soil and
crops that this is done, nor altogether be-
cause the land is poor, although we see
smaller proportion of these daises up
on those fields that have been devoted to
hoed crop and we'll MANFRED, than up
on those that have not been like treated.
Where sufficient quantity of the gras-
ses have not been sown, or where they
have failed to make good stand, daises
are more likely to occupy the ground.
Also in some fields, for reasons hard to
determine, as those that are elevated or
of a dry character, they appear to abound
more plentifully than in others, nee
essitating blowing and re-seeding often.

Upon alluvial soils they are not nearly
SO often found, which would seem to dis
pose of the supposition that the use of
tn horse rake has anything to do with
bringing them in.
Some farmers entertain the idea that
the seeds of these daises arc mixed large
ly with the timothy seed, that, hereabouts
is now purchased almost entirely, in
stead of being raised at home as used to
be the case. There should be some way
to determine this matter, and dealers
and farmers should be careful as posi-
BILE in the selection of seed, to get that
only which is clean, even if it is at an
advanced cost. If farmers could raise
their own grass seeds this difficulty might
in measure be avoided. but there is
considerable trouble connected with
harvesting and cleaning the seed on a
small scale, and most would rather rely
upon purchasing, especially if as cheap
as at present afforded. Another thing,
very few fields contain a clean growth Of
tomothy, and unless this is the case
there is but little use saving for seed.
Perhaps there is one thing that contri.
butes more to the increase of daises than
the supposed sowing of impure seed, and
that is the cutting of the hay crop after
they have mostly gone to seed, thus per.
petuating the evil indefinitely. The on
ly safe course to pursue appears to be tc
sow as clean seed as can be obtained
cut grass early, before the daise;
get ripe, seed literally when stocking
down the grass, using a good proper
ton of clover, and be as thorough al
possible in the cultivation of all crops
making the soil as mellow and rich az
the circumstance of the case will admit
