TIE POWER OF LOVE.

The sentiment Of love is too frequently
made light "l; that which is the most po,cn,
agency ofthis our earth; that which has been
'lhc central fire of many Of those revolutions,
/ Is mncklngly referred to as if it were a sub
Jcct Tor trlling. But love in woman has q
true meaning. Love IN man is an cnnobIing
passion; ii is as dew upon the flower, as
purple dawn upon the sky, as the quiet
s'rcamlct in the valley, as an orchard re-
splcndant with early blossoms; it is as an
evening hymn; it is as child asleep and
dreaming Of heaven. 1t may be as a delugc
that spreads around vcwlcss waste, with
out dove, olive-branch or rainbow; it NAV
be as dclcctablc mountain thrown as under
by the inward fire; it may be despair; it may
be insanity that sings long and low its mel
anctloIy airs: il may be insanity that laughs
aloud and then expires. Love while It's OBJ
Jcct lives in purity makes poet of him with
whom il dwcs-lhc pIoughboy in The field

gloricS; he has in his own way the most pas

with seC.rcspcct. Out of the visions of
youth may have come the flames that have
llnmed tho path to greatness. The captain
in his floating castle, tho general in the tent

THE ART OF MAKING DIrrED CANDLES
The lallow, when melted, should be ladlcd
into wooden vessel of convenient width
and depth, which has been previously heat
ed by filling it with boiling water for an
hour or more. Fill the vessel within an inch
of the top with melted talIow, and keep it
at that height by adding hot talow or hot
water. BY this means the candles will be
kept of a full size at the top, and not taper
off to point, as often seen with country
candles. The taIow, when used for dipping
candles, should not be too hot. A lempera-
turr ttrurwIII allow lhc finger to DC dipped
in without burning, is sufficiently hot, and at
this temperature the candles will take on the
,alow very fast. The wcks should be
lowered into the melted taIIow gradually,
and should be lifted ou, of the taIIow so
slowly that when the bottoms of the can
dies are clear from the surface Of the melt
cd lallow. no taIlow will run off them.-
When the candles are raised quick out of
the melted tallow, the talow will run off the
candles in stream, whereas if the candles
are raised slowly, not particle of tallow
will fall from the candles A few trials will
satisfy any person in this matter. If tho
taIlow is boiling hot, the wick will not take
on the tallow to any considerable extent.--
When candles arc raised out of the tallow
rapidly, the candles will be large a, the bot
tom, and tho lallow will extend below the
wick, so that when burnt in candlcstick
piece of the candle will have no wick in it !;
and therefore. for burning, will be useless.
Where persons have no suitable wooden, all
iron vcstcl will answer for dipping vessel.
When tallow has been thoroughly melted
over the fire. should ii be dirty or impure,
throw into it while hot, small quantity of
finely powdered alum, and in short time a
scum will be seen rising to the surface, in
appearance like dry frolh. Skim this off as
ii rises. The scum will be rising trr half an
hour or more. These directions ar. plain
and easily complied with, and one trial will
be satisfactory. Persons by following these
directions, will save more than one half the
usual labor of making candles, besides hav-
ing better candles.--Penn. Cultiuutor.

on board 28l French Communists, who
are on their way to Nauvoo, with view
OF making permanent location. They
are composed mostly o: mechanics and

GERS OF the Marshal Ney and the Ameri-
can Eagle unite in the opinion tina. they
are the most orderly, clean and industri-
GUS emigrants they have ever met. The
religion they profess is very similar TO
that of the Unrtarians, and their manner
Of living much like the Socialists; though,
unlike many Of the French and English
Socialists, they are scrupu,ously strict in
the preservation Of the virtue Of their do
mestic circle. This company is headed
by Monsieur CADET, the great French
politician who for forty years has been
the leader Of the republican party in the
House Of Deputies-was five years Chief
Justice of the island Of Corsica-was in
strumental in the overthrow of Charles
X. and Lonis Philippe, and was banished
by the latter from France for the term
Of FIVE years. In this company Of Mon

France from kiugy power, and have Of

OF republican principles They have ac-
complshed the wish nearest their hearts,
and have once tasted repubicansm in
the bud. have come to seek home where
they can enjoy it in its maturity. Mon
