Tallow Candles.

While kerosene was cheap little else was
used for light by farmers, but since its sud.
den advance in price while not being half as
durable as when first introduced many will
return to tallow candles. For ordinary pur-
purposes in the house, candles are both safe
and economical. For the sitting-room lamps
are moro cheerful, but for going about the
house or into the cellar candles arc safer,
cheaper and more convenient. Many sad
accidents have happened from breaking lamps
especially when carried about by children,
and the cheaper prepared oils are about as
explosive as gunpowder. Unless candles
are perfectly made admit there is liability
to drop the tallow, but this is more easily
removed thah the digusting scent of kerosene
from the hands after filling tn lamps. The
cost of replacing broken chimneys has been
with US about as much as years supply Of
candles.
The light from candles is less hurtful to
eyes there is not that unpleasant and, be-
lieve, poisonous gas that arises from burn
ing kerosene, and there is no danger of an
explosion if the light is thrown on the floor.
The method of dipping or running candles is
doubtless familiar to every housekeeper and
is not very arduous task. Dipping is much
the easier when twenty or thirty dozens arc
i
to be made; it makes better candles and Of
any size or length required. After the wick.
ing is measured and cut, it may be soaked in a
solution of alum and salt which makes them
burn clearer and steadier, The rule is two
ounces of each dissolved 10 sufficient water
to thoroughly wet pound of wicking. The
wicking must be perfectly dried before dip
ping.
An excellent summer candle is made BY
using less wicking, say four or five strands t.
each candle. The trouble with large wick
is that it consumes the tallow faster than i
does the wick, leaving the blaze filled with
a large black coal and giving a dull, flicker
ing light. Small wicks lean to one side anC
are consumed as fast as the candle burn
giving more light, unless those with lonl
wicks are constantly snuffed, and sufioien
for reading or going from room to room
They do not flicker, arc not 80 liable to dri
and use less than two-thirds as much tallow

And kept clucking, elueking, all tho day,
Scratching, and pecking, and bustling around,
And digging in the ground.
Digging here a hole and there mound,
For sure that all Rndables are found,

Not very long did tho chckies sleep,
Fer mother hen saw one little peep;
Then they all shone out like jewels flung
Round her all unstrung.
But the jewels were hardly at case,
And soon began to worry and tease,
One pocks at her ears, and one her eyes,
Others catch the lios.
Madam Brown got up, while from her back
Slipped Onewee chick with a slight whack.

Oh nevor q word he answered
And never a word spake she
They turned their faces each from each,
And looked upon tho sea.
The hands that cannot clasp for life,
Must quickly severed be,
The love that Is not large enough
To live eternally,
In true loves name, for fair loves fame,
Must die before It's bloom,
For IL, in all Gods earth or heaven,
There is no garden.room.
Though all the wine Of liz be lost,
Try woll the red grapes hue.
Holy the sole that cannot taste
The false love for the true,
And blessed aye tho faihtlng heart
For such thirst shall be-
Yet never a word they spoke, and looked
Upon the bitter sea.

SOUND ADVICE.

The advice contained in n recent letter of
James Redpath, original Aboitionist and Re-
publican, to the colored people to join the
Democratic party, is thus commented on by
the Boston Post:
The advice to the colored people of the
South to vote the Democratic ticket is sound.
The alleged abandonment of their cause be-
cause Hayes refuses to sustain carpet-bagism
by Federal troops is in truth an enfIanchise-
ment hardly inferior to the emancipation from
slavery. Up to the present time those "wards
of the Nation" have been treated as political
chattels, owned End under the absolute con-
troll of the Republican parry. But the frank
confession is now made that this party 10
longer protects ihem and that the Democrats
do. The Democratic negro, says Redpath, is
he safest male creature he knows of in the
Gulf States. This is no new discovery; but
twhen Redpaih, Phillips and Bruce urge upon
the colored race an allegiance with the
Dem ocrats they exhibit more wisdom than r
anything they have ever before said or done.

THE MN WHO DON'T READ.

The man WHO don't read, usually has a
mission-it is to grow corn and pork, and pay
taxes, OF work through the week at his bench
or forge as machine. His home is place
to eat and sleep, his life round Of drudgery,
a struggle on for bread and butter. The man
who does not read, falls behind the age in
which he lives; drops into the narrow groove
Of his personal observation, and declares the
progress around him to he a departure from
the virtues of by gone times. Every day has
superstitious sign, every change of the moon,
every sudden variation in the weather, fills
him with prophecy which BODIES everybody
i'll luck. The man who does not read, MIS-
judges the common natural laws of matter,
the easily explained changes of vegetable and
animal life are subjects for sapersiirious dread
and trouble The great progress of the world
in literature, science ard art, the news of the
day at home and abroad, are blanks TO the
man who does no; read.-Er.
