The good lady of the house httd Just succeeded lu per fecting an Invention which is ultimate ly destined to revolutionize the great branches of Industry known by the term "Itinerant," and to deprive hosts of men of a lucrative employment. The domicile of the Smiths la located on Mission street, Just between Woodward's Gardens and the city front. It may be recognized by the front yard and the very peculiar canvas apparatus which Is attached to the fence. This pleoe of canvas stretches from the top of the fence to a pair of poles firmly fastened to the sidewalk below, and forms an in clined plane, reaching nearly to the round, which bears a close resemblance to the netting used, In gymnasiums and circuses as a safe receptacle for falling acrobats. This canvas arrangement is only a portion of the great Invention al luded to ; the principal port of which Is located beneath the doorstep. For sev eral years past Mrs. Bmlth, In common with her sister housewives throughout the city, has been harassed by the visits of peddlers, sewing-machine agents, medical canvassers, vegetable venders, traveling tin smiths, Insurance solicitors and a host of the other gentry who an noy and render miserable the female population of the city. Mrs. Smith, less fortunate than many housewives, Is without a servant and has hitherto been compelled to make all the way from 800 to 400 trips a day to the front door. In fact, the bell rang, tinkled, buzzed and rattled almost contlnu ally, aud bo great was the strain upon the tlntlnnabulat- ing apparatus that a new wire has to be put In two or three times a month, and even the knob wore out quarterly. This state of affairs was not only expensive and troublesome, but it was gradually reducing Mrs. Smith to a skeleton, and she dally waxed weaker and more atten uated. She calculated, and calculated very correctly, that she traveled from six to eight miles a day In her tramps to the front door. At last Mrs. Smith, Inspired by desperation, hit upon the plan which has since proved so effec tive. A skillful machinist was imme diately employed and directed to con struct beneath the front doorstep a com pact and powerful apparatus connected with a spring on the Inside of the thresh hold, which, when pressed by the light foot of Mrs. Smith, would suddenly bring into play the great forces of the hidden machinery and preBS the door steps upward with such terrific velocity that its occupant would be hurled into space. The flying peddler was supposed, after being precipitated from the door step, to describe a graceful parabola which would have its termination in the depths of the canvas. The receptacle being au inclined plane, waa expected to gently drop the involuntary acrobat to the sidewalk below. At last the ingeni ous apparatus was completed aud the mechanic assured the'inventress that her idea would make a young peddler shoot, thus unconsciously inverting an, old ex-, pression. He also expressed his confi dence that the aforesaid canvas would invariably be the place of descent. On the day before Christmas Mrs. Smith placed a chair near the door and serene ly awaited the jingle which would Indi cate the approach of her first Victim. She had not long to wait. Before ten minutes had expired the bell gave a pre monitory tinkle. Opening the door Mrs. Smith smiled on the outsider with more complaisance than she had mani fested for years before. She did not for get, however, to place her foot in con venient proximity to the llttl spring be fore mentioned.- " Madam," ingenuously asked the un conscious intruder, may I sell you a sewing" ' " He was, however, called away so sud denly that he had no time to complete his question, for Mrs. Smith pressed the spring, the step flashed upward, and lo ! the poor sewing machine man disappear ed. Alas for human ingenuity, howev er, he re-appeared at the wrong place, and instead of falling into the canvas so kindly prepared for his convenience, struck against the fence with great vio lence, Just after completing his third somersault. The neighbors thought that an unfor tunate aeronaut had been pitched from a balloon, aud flocked to thespot In scores. The poor fellow had a leg fractured, and the doctor across the street added anoth er to his list of patients. The machine was immediately perfect ed, and by Christmas morning operated with beautiful accuracy. During the morning Mr. Smith advocated the re moval of the canvas on the ground that intruders deserved to suffer. In the wee sma ' hours of yesterday morning, how ever, he reached his house in acondltion of seml-inebrlety which made his foot Bteps uncertain, and while entering the door he was Incautious enough to place his right foot on the little spring before he removed bis left foot from the door step. The result was a rapid tvrlal flight, a full Into the canvas, a slide on the sidewalk and a walk back to the door. This little incident removed the objec tions which Mr. Smith had formerly to the canvas, and yesterday he watched fifty or sixty pedlers and canvassers practice muscular contortion during their flights from the step to the canvas,wtth out feeling the slightest regret that they were uninjured. It will be proper In conclusion to inform the publlo that Mrs. Smith has reserved the patent right of her wondeiful invention. (Van Fran, clsco Chronicle. A LITTLE GIRL'S SECRET. THE first day of the New Year, and the children were quarreling 1 A bad beginning 1 "Alice, and Harriet, take your knit tlngwork. John and Henry, you may each bring nine armfuls of wood into the wood shed. Mabel you may take your slate and write, and I guess If, they are let alone, the two babies will take care of themselves. Now for half an hour, let us have silence. If any body speaks let it be in a whisper." So there was silence In the kitchen, except the noise the mother made with her pie-making aud the occasional prattle of the two babies. There was generally a good deal of noise at Num ber Thirteen ; anil sometimes pretty often it wasn't pleasant noise. The children were all young, and all wanted their own way. Hut they had learned to mind their mother. Little Mabel sat with her slnte on her knee, looking thoughtful. She wrote and erased, and wrote again with much pains-taking labor. At last she seemed satisfied, and going to ber mother said, in a whisper: " May I have a little piece of white paper and pencil ont of your drawer Y I want to copy something." "What Is It V let me see," said her mother. Mabel hesitated and blushed, but held It up lo her, saying, " You wont tell, will you, mother1" Her mother read It twice over ; tears gathered in her eyes. " You won't tell anybody, will you? entreated little Mabel. " No, no, certainly not 1 It shall be a little secret between you and me." She got a nice piece of paper, and sharpened the pencil anew for the child, although she was pie-making. Mabel copied It very carefully, and laid It away in the bottom of her hand kerchief box, saying! " I shall see it often there, and nobody goes there but mother and I." But it happened one day that Harriet was sent to distribute the pile of clean handkerchiefs from the Ironing into the different boxes, and as Mabels was empty, she saw the writing. It was so short that she took It in at a glance : Resolved to Alwasspek pleasant when Enybody speks cros. Madel Ford. Somehow it fixed itself in Harriet's mind,and that evening she was busy with pen and ink. The result was a writing in Harriet's handkerchief-box, with a resolution written more neatly, but the same effect ; Resolved : that I will try this year to return pleasant words for cross ones. Harriet Ford. It made a difference that was easy to Bee, when two of the children began to practice this resolution. There was less of quarreling. " That's mine I You better mind your own business I" said John to Har riet one day, when she took up his top and was putting K in his drawer. " But, John, mother wants me to clear up the room," said Harriet. " Well I want the top to stay there !" Bald John, obstinately. " Well, perhaps it's no matter. A toy isn't much litter," said Harriet, pleasantly. John was fully prepared for a contest. I'm afraid he would rather have one. He stared. Then he looked ashamed. Then bespoke. " What made you say that, Harriet V" Harriet laughed and colored a little. "Tell me! what made youV" John insisted. " Come here, and I'll show you," said she. She took him to the clothes-press, where was a row of pretty handkerchief-boxes, each labelled. She opened little Mabel's and took cut the clean, soft pile of handkerchiefs. " Look there !"' said Bhe. John read. "The good little thing! She never does quarrel, anyhow," said John. "Sol thought I better put one In mine, too," said Harriet, aud showed hers 1 'outh't Comjmnion, Worklngmen.

BKOTIIF.H Bell, of the Colored Beth el Congregation, a few nights since at a prayer meeting, took occasion, In the course of an exhortation, upon the duties of life, to fire a passing shot at the walking inanln, now so prevalent, and development some facts, In relation to pedestrian feats that seem hitherto to have escaped notice. He snld : " My beloved bredren and sisters, dur is one ting I'm bound to say to you befo' I closes de exercizes dls nlle, anddat Is don't you take no stock In dU yero walkln' blsness. Letdem white tramps men and wlmmin, alone ; don't you spen' your money and your preshus time runnln' round arter them ; and for de Lord's sake, and your own, don't you try to make fools ob yourselfs by tryln' to do likewise. You men will find plenty ob excerclse In attending to your work, an' you wlmmin enuff to do ober your wash-tubs an' nussln' your babies, Instead ob trampln' roun' and roun' de saw-dUBt, day on an' day off, JIss to please a passe 1 ob fools, an' ruin your own helf. Besides, my b'loved freus, all de braggln' dat dey duz 'bout dere ' long walks,' 'long times' an' what dey calls ' lizzikal endoorlnse,' ain't wuth shucks, when you comes to com pare dem wld one pufformance dat tuk place thousand of years ago, an' de rea son dey don't mention It Is bekuse none of dese sportin' folks eber read dare Bi bles. Well I'll tell you what It wus an' It's de greatest sportin' match,' as dey calls It, dat eber came of on de face of dls yearf. None of your 4 hippy drum' blsness heah ! No, sah ! No, sab I Fair heel an' toe walkln' Judges appointed, track measured, time kep' (accordln' to Skrlpturs), and a record made yes, an a reckord dat can't be de nied, 'cause It Is yes here it Is, In dls preshus book ! Now Jiss turn ober your Bibles, my frens' an' look at flft chap ter ob Genesis, twenty-second vuss, an' what do you fine V Why, you fide dat 'Enoch walked wld God (after he begattcd Meefoosaly) three hundred years !' Three hundred years f Dar was a walk for you. Jiss shut yo' eyes and 'fleet on it ! Three hundred years ! ! ! Besides, de reckord says dat when de ole man made dat match, and had dat chile (who kep' on llvln' until he was nine hundred an' sixty-nine years ole monsua good stuffln dat fam ily!) I say when, de man made dat match, an' had dls chile, he was sixty five years ob age, and den walked three hundred years I Talk 'bout yo' flzzlkle endoolnse' after dat ! Tulk 'bout yo' 4 pluck' an' yo' grit' after dat I Why de ole man has done laid out all ob dese now adays blowers at flat as a dead shad! So much for dls 4 straordinary pufform ance.' But dat ain't all ob it. Here's mo' yet. If you'll Jiss look at de twenty-fourth vuss ob de same chapter, you will fine, my b'loved frens, what a orful warnin' is in dat vuss, to pu' foolish creatures who has de conceit to make slch one ekal matches. Did any good come ob de ole mau Enoch's walk ? Did be make anything outen it t No, my bredern aud sisters. No ! No ! He lost by It he lost eberythlng by it neb er 'peared in de ring again in fack, he 4 went up' Jiss read de vuss : 4 An' Enoch walked wld God an' he was not' (dat is he warn't nowar,) for God tuck him.' 'God tuck him!' To be shuab, he tuck him ! He was bound to be tuck! He belt out for a long time, de ole man did : he was game to de last ; he was doing his level best, but 'OhMarster' was to long in de stride, an' toe sound in de wind for him, an' tuck him on de last run.' Yes my b'loved frens, an' he will take anybody dot tries dat game on him, an' histe him hlgher'n a kite, Jist as he did Ole Boss Enoch. So take warnin' by dls orful lesson ; let all dls kind of foolishness alone an' tend to yo' proper callin's, like good Chrlstshuns. An' now let us pray !" -Jacksonville, (Fla.) " Sun and iVm." What Is Ina Nlckla. It may not be generally known that we have, in the nlckle five cent piece of out coinage, a key to the tables of linear measures and weights. The diameter of this coiu Is two centimeters and the weight is five, grammes. Five of them placed in a row will, of course, give the length of the decimeter, and two of them will,weigha decagramme. 'As the kiloiter is a cubio meter, the key to the measure of length is also the key to measures of capacity. Any person, therefore, who is fortunate enough to own a five-cent nlckle may carry in bis pocket the entire metric system of weights and measures. The Errors of History. One by one our Illusions vanish. Notwithstanding the fact that Captain Kidd had been held up for nearly two hundred years in songs and ballads as a bloodthirsty sea-robber, and that he was actually convicted of murder at the Old Bailey In London and hung lu chaius.it Is now alleged by a gentlemen who has carefully examined the whole mat ter, that Kidd, so far from being himself a pirate, was a brave and loyal seaman, who faithfully endeavored to suppress freebooters in the East Indies. SUNDAY LEADING Little Duties. A letter carrier In one of our large cities, a few months ago, found on reaching the post office, after a long round of delivery, a letter In his bn that he had over looked. It would have taken him half an hour to return anil deliver It. He was very tired and bun gry. The letter was an ordinary unim portant looking missive. He thrust it Into his pocket and delivered It on hU first round next day. What consequences followed t For want of that letter a great firm had fail ed to meet their engagements, their notes had gone to protest; a mill closed, and hundreds of poor workmen were thrown out of employment. The letter-carrier himself was dis charged for his oversight and neglect. His family suffered during the winter for many of the necessaries of life, but his loss was of small account compared to the enormous amount of misery caus ed by bis single failure in duty. Another case: a mechanic who had been out of work a long time In New York went last September to collect a small sum due to him. The gentleman who owed It, being annoyed at some tri fle, Irritably refused the money. The man went to his wretched home, an maddened by the sight of his hungry wife and children, went out to the back yard aud hanged himself. The next day an old employer sent to offer him a permanent situation. Here was a life lost and a family left paupers because a bill of a dollar or two was not paid at the right time. The old Spanish proverb says, " There is no such thing as a trifle in the world." When we think how Inextricably the lives of all mankind are tangled togeth er, it seems as If every word or action moved a lever which set In motion a gigantic machinery, whose effort is wholly beyond our control. For this reason If for no other, let us be careful to perform promptly and well the duties of life even the most trivial. Youth's Companion, Not as It Was. Thereis a creed abroad that a young man is better alone, free from all Incum brance of wife or children ; but In the old times it was not so. Then children were esteemed " a heritage and gift that cometh from the Lord j" now, selfish luxury, worldliness and the love of out ward show have brought our young men ay, and some women too to such a pass that they feel, nay, openly declare, every child born to them is a new ene my; and marriage, Instead of being " honorable " to all, Is a folly, a deri sion, or a dread. ' Why Is this t And is it the men's fault, or the women's? Both, perhaps; yet I think chiefly the women's. Feeble, useless, half-educated; taught to believe that ignorance is amusing and helplessness attractive ; no wonder the other sex shrinks from tak ing upon itself, not a help, but a burden charming enough before marriage but after t The very man who at first ex ulted in his beautiful ornamental wife, his sweet, humble Circassian slave, will by-and-by be the first to turn around and scorn her. Ye Are My Witnesses. " Ye are my witnesses," saith the Lord, " Ye shall be witnesses unto me," said the Saviour on Mount Ol ivet in his last utterance before the ascension, "both In Jerusalem, in all Juda, and lu Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." This ev idently applies to believers, and through all time and in every part of the earth, " till none shall know him." Now a witness must testify to facts as he know them "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." ISF The clergy of various denomina tions in Minneapolis have taken up the movement against extravagance at fu nerals, of which there have been a few sigus recently in various parts of the east. A circular was prepaied, sent out and signed, which sets forth that there has often been observed in funerals need less confusion and pain owing to the unwise action of well-meaning friends, and that custom has inclined to make them more and more expensive, until, in some cases, the desire to render lov ing tribute to the dead or to conform to what is thought to be required, involve a burdensome out lay. Accordingly, it is recommended, that so far as may be, funerals be from the house and Siat the services be separated from the inter ment. - 0The soul that is full of pure and generous affections fashions the features into its own angelic likeness, as the rose which grows iu grace and blossoms Into loveliness which art can not equal. There is nothing on earth which so quick ly transfigures a personality, exalts, Ir radiates with heaven's own impress of loveliness, as a pervading kindness of the heart.
