Do What You Can.

Men and women, standing in their place
doing their work, trusting in Gods love anC
and help, grow deeper, soar higher, anc
spread more widely as the years pass
They do not pass for saints, for they do nc
extraordinary things. They do not retire
INTO converts to pass their days in prcyer.
But every one comes TO honor them more
and more; men come to learn on their
strength and take counsel of their expe-
hence; they spread light and peace around
them, day by day, and so cause the king
dom of God 70 come more and more, sim
ply BY doing what they can. Whenever
we do what we can, we Immediately can do
more. Like those ascending a mountain,
each step so Insignificant in itself, carries
them on aad up, till new scenes open be-
fore them. They have only to keep walk
ing on, taking one step at time. and pre-
sently they find themselves rising above
the region forests. They begin to get
glimpses of blue lakes lying below them. of
sister peaks rising above them, and of the
great snow-covered fields which soar up
ward, pure and cold in the glitterine arr:
they see the ocean, spotted with white sails,
and forests rolling their sea of verdure far
away up to the pale horizon. So as we
keep doing what we can, steadily and con-
stantly, life opens before US. Heaven
opens-above as, the world comes around
us, nch, varied and beautiful, and we find
ourselves on great eminences of thought
and love, hardly knowing how we came
there, for we have been only doing what
we could all the time.

of the special objects in each grange should
be to provide spirit of inquiry in regard

only that the most rapid and substantial

Use OF TREEs.-Trees should
be planted not only by dwelling
houses and along roads, but
they should be in every pasture
and by watering places, and near
every barn, wherever cattle,
horses or sheep are to be provi-
ded for. All these animals suf-
fer from our burning sun; and to
say nothing oftheir comfort and
enjoyment, the cost of shade
trees will be many times paid
back in the saving of milk, fat,
fleece and strength, which will
result by protecting domestic
animals from the heat of the
sun.

CARBoLIc ACID AND WEEDS.

CARBoLIc AcID AND WEEDS.
AS a weed destroyer, carbolic
acid seems likely to prove a
boon to gardeners. Such weeds
rs dandelious are killed BY
one application, the mode of
applying it to destroy single
plants being to make hole in
the crown with an iron point,
and then to pour in a little ofthe
liquid from a bottle. For paved
yards, and also for garden paths
the. carbolic acid is mixed with
from ten to fifty times its guam
tity of water in a bucket, accor-
ding to its original strength, and
applied with a brush or broom
or from a rose watering can; a
sunny day being the best.-Flor-
