CANDLES FOR SUsnrER.--Our good
friend, Mrs. G. II. Price ofKy., sends
the following item of household prac-
tice to the editor OF the Am. Agricul-
turist:
AS | have just made some of the
incest tallow candles ever saw, will

beeswax, by gently boiling the tai

two gallons of weak lye, stirring and
skimming it often. Each morning |
cut out the tallow and scraped off the
bottom that was soft, and put in fresh
lye, for two days. The third day |
put in fresh water, in which was dis
solved one pound Of alum, one of salt
petro and a little blueing. After SIM
mering, stirring, skimuing and strain
ing it, it was as clear and white as
sperm, and ready to dip.
| bleached my wick very white, and
gently twisted it around small cane
rods allowing for one dozen candles
to weigh two pounds, put on wicks
for one dozen candles for the 81
pounds tallow. When the tallow was
hot, put halfan ounce oil Of berga.

THE pERJURED GOLDSMITH,
NJ rEoF. J. II. INGRAM.

A MODEST and exceedingly pretty
young girl, plainly attired, entered one
Of tie goldsmith stores on -
street, and seeing that a gentlemen
was engaged with the proprietor, she
timidly shrunk aside near the door
until he should be at leisure. The
assistants were also occupied with
customers whose dress and appearance
showed them to belong to the classes
of the rich, and she was suffered to
remain for some time, standing there
before she could be attended to.
The gentleman, who was fine,
noble looking person, with a remarka-
bly, polished address, seeing her wait
ing, courteously stood aside, and said
to the goldsmith:
"Do not occupy yourself with me
now, Mr.. Broochard, can examine
these watches by myself, while yon see
what this young person wants, who
has been waiting SO long and patient
ly, to get an opportunity to speak to
you" ,
"What do you want, Miss Z" asked
the goldsmith, with look that con-
veyed a reproof to her for interrupt
ing him while engaged with a custom
er of more value to him.
The girl hesitatingly approached
the counter, and taking from her bo-
som small gold clasp, bent over to
him, and said in a low, trembling
voice:
81 wish you would be so kind as to
keep this few days, and let me have
seven dollars on it."
Low as she spoke, her soft, tremb-
ling tones reached the ears of Mr..
McHenry, the gentleman who was
present, and he turned to observe her
face, and hear the reply of the gold
smith to this timid and plainly utter
ed request. The goldsmith took the
clasp scornfully, between his fingers,
and throwing it down, said sharply to
her:
"This is no pawnbroker's shop,
girl-and if it was, that thing is not
worth two dollars"
"lt is of inestimable value to me,
sir--indeed it is the only thing valua-
ble | have," said she earnestly, and
her cheek slightly flushed at tie rude
manner OF the reply.
