THE LATEST INVENTION IN ISE-
FUL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES.

Within the last few years there has
been expended great deal Of inventive
thought and genius upon what may prop
eriy be classed as household articles, the
most noted results Of which are the pro-
duction Of the sewing machine, the wiring
CT, the washing machine, the carpet
sweeper, sc. Almost every week We
chronicle ;;se advent OF some new inyea-
ton by which the cares aud labors OF
housekeepers are lessened, and womans
work made easier.
The newest thing TO challenge our at
tention and gladden. the heart Of the
housekeeper, is, what is called the Novel
ty Brush Holder, Carpet Stretcher aud
Sweeper, very simple contrivance de
signed to drR.ly hold in position any kind
Of q brush or dTster; having an extcn-
sion handle that enables one TO rash or
dust windows, walls or ceilings without
the aid of q step ladder. That is one OF
its cOnveniences, and it is also one of The
best carpet sweepeys in the market, hold
ing the brush firmly at angle. 10
cleans the carpet thoroughly, raises 10
dust, and does no. wear the carpet Ike
the ordinary broom or brush, and Will
outwear half dozen brooms. As han
die for the scrubbing brush il is the best
device ever made, no more kneeling on
the floor, no more back aches or sore
fingers. As . carpet strclchcr it is worth
its cost, as a carpet of any size con DO
laid evenly without any of the labor and
vexation usually attending such work.
1t is strong, simple, thoroughly made,
cannot get out Of order, has no screws,
lever or hinges, is compact, cheap and
durable.
/ 1t is manufactured by Brown Co.,
Cincinnati, the well known manufsciur
ers of useful household articles, and is
cold only by their agents to housekeepers.
The real utility Of this article will a.
once be seen by those most interested.
and we predict for it large sale. Every
housekeeper in the land will want one.
Any reliable lady or gentleman wish
ing remunerative employment, would do
well to secure the agency for this county.
which can be done by enclosing a etamp

Secret Prayer.

God bids you come often from the
noise and strife and tumult of life, and
shut the door that you may pray to
your Father in secret. 1t is there your
truest life is lived. 1t is there that
strength comes for the toll and wearl-
ness of life. 1t needs not long for this (;
not long to gather around you that
sweet sense of Fatherhood which shall
make the whole day sacred, and your
work service to God. You know how,
before you start away in the morning
to your toll, you have only time, per-
haps for word or two to your wife and
a hasty kiss for the little ones. But
how much love you may put into those
few words, and what sweet memory
those little kisses leave all the day long.
And so moment or two of solemn
speech with God, before the great tide
of busy life flows in upon the soul, one
short clasp of the Fathers hand, one
quick glance into His holy loving eyes,
will make the whole day sacred. We
need no long prayers to bring us the
sweet sense of Gods Fatherhood, the
hidden secret communion of Him who
is ever with us. l walk with my friend
through bustling, crowded street, and
though l speak no word to him, the
close pressure of his hand upon my arm
from time to time, tells me all 1 want
to know. The little child, too, holding
my hand through long summer walk
he looks up into my face now and then.
Look down into his, and in that look
how much is said; what compact of
trust and love, what bright assurance
that all is fair, and calm and pleasant
between us. So good man walks with
God.-George DaWsOn.

Beware of "Short Cuts. -


Many years ago we spent summer
holiday in the Highlands of Scotland,
accompanied by a friend who did much
to add to our enjoyment. But he had
one popularity, to which at first we
yielded, as matter of convenience,
and from which we learned lesson
was forever on the outlook for what he
called a shortcut. If we had point to
make in our jOurneyings, and the ordi-
nary path to it led i'll circuitous di-
rectiOn, he would quote for us the we'll
known proposition of Euclid to the eff
feet that ''any two sides of triangle
are together greater than the third
side," and set off on the diagonal, or
rather, we ought to say, on the hypo-
thenuse but before long we found our
selves begged in some marshy mOrass,
from which we eXtricated ourselves
with difficulty, and carried with us
abundant traces of our folly in the
shape of mud. If we had an ascent to
make, he would insist on taking the
vertical route up the face of the cliff,
rather than the common foot path which
wound its slow and zigzag way; and
ing between heaven and earth, with
little visible means of support, and in
peril of our lives. So we learned to be-
ware of his 'short-cuts :" and though
we have had him as companion often
since, we have never been caught by
him again in the same snare.
We have learned, also, to apply the
experience of that memorable vacation
to many departments of our working
life. For, in this age, the greatest dan
gers are taking us, in almost every sort
of activity, from the perverse tendency
which many have to prefer shortcut.
The roundabout way is very frequent-
ly the nearer in the end, and it is gen.
orally the safer. In fact, it is the beat
en- track just because it is the safest ;
and if we step aside from that, we NAV
expect to come to grief.
We have seen many illustrations of
this of late in commercial life. Men
have been in haste to be rich; they
have taken the SHORTCUT" and by
skilltul ''conveyancing"- was
nothing less than dishonesty-they
have seemed to gain an immediate
prosperity. But just when they fancied
that their aim was reached, they have
found themselves in the morass: and
what quagmire it has been for most
OF them! Where are now the leaders
of that Infamous ring which robbed this
city of so many millions of dollars, and
appeared, for time at least, to have
reached the very pinnacle of wealth 7
Alas they have fallen from the face OF
the precipice up which they were climb
ing, and their destruction has been as
complete as it was ignominious. Where
are the men who manipulated insurance
companies for their own selfish ends
and seemed in so doing to have found
a shortcut" to affluence2 The priser
has them in its keeping.
