POPULAR WRITERS

OF distinction, as contributors to our columns.
Among those as writers Of Fiction, whom we are
now at liberty to mention, are Mrs. NELLIE
MARSHALL McAFEE, Of kentucky, and Mrs.
HENRY DEAS, of California.
Already is Mrs. Deas favorably known to our
readers, as a brilliant and entertaining writer {;
and we can safely promise that the next story we
shall publish from her pen is one Of greater power
and more fascinating style than any she has ever
yet written.
Mrs. McAfee, though but recently engaged as
contributor to the ENQUIRER, is we'll known in
the world of letters having commenced her lite
rary career by writing for periodicals. in 1862 and
having been remarkably successful in every effort.
J. Wood Davidson, in his "LiUng Writer'S of the
,Soatth, published in 1869, says She is just past
twenty, and seems full of youthful aspiration, and
hopes, and life. She puts her impulses, feelings
and thoughts into literary forms with wonderful
facility" Her second publication, entitled "As
by Fire. novel of passion-life, earnest, intense
and full of pathos, appeared in 1869, and was well
received by the public. The New York Round
TuJle spoke of tho volume as being all perpetual
splcndor," and that the writer in her special de-
lineations of character, displays abundant capaci-
ty to excel.
The first number of the new volume will con-
tain the opening chapters of thrilling and high.

THIS WORLDS GOODS.

1t is no easy matter to use this world so as
not to abuse it, Mans relationship to this
world is such that he must be diligent in bus
iness, or expose himself to the disapprobation
of God. On the other hand, if he goes too
far, he makes god of this world and becomes
an idolater. There is nothing criminal in
being rich, neither is there anything merito'
rious in being poor. The rich man is not
necessarily great sinner, nor does it follow
as matter of course that the poor man is a
devoutly pious man. 1t seems that God, in
his providence, bestows upon certain individ-
uals, an abundance of the good things of this
world, that they may do good to others. From
other individuals, God, for wise and holy pur-
poses, withholds the good things of this world,
or bestows them with sparing hand. In
everything God does, he has purpose. He
made nothing in vain. and as God of prov-
dence, he does nothing in vain. When God
grants us a talent he expects US to use it for
his glory, our own good, and the good Of all
with whom we may come in contact 1t is
inconceivable that God would bestow upon
any of his creatures facilities for doing evil.
Hence, we may conclude that when this
worlds goods are so used as to be injurious
to the good of any of Gods creatures, they
are abused. If wealth is procured for the
purpose of being useful, it is right and proper !;
but if it is amassed for the purpose of gratify'
ing our sinful lusts, it is subverted from its
original design, and is sinful. On the other
hand, if we are idle or prodigal in our hab-
its, and neglect to make any provisions for
those whom God has made dependant upon
US, we sin and make ourselves liable to be
visited with poverty, infamy and shame.

EXTREMES.

Ancient mythologists tell US of two fearful
monsters, Scylla and Charybdis, situated on
opposite sides Of some imaginary strait. The
mariner found it, according to the mytholog'
ical account, very difficult to pass these mon'
sters. In avoiding Scylla, he was liable to
20 too near Charybdis and be devoured. The
reverse was also true. These monsters, Scylla
and Charybdis, had no existence only in the
brain of the poet Homer; but the journey Of
every man through this world has something
connected with it which may serve as base
for the poetic fiction.
Life, when we contemplate it in its realities
is very much like voyage in a narrow sea
with dangerous whirlpools OH opposite sides
The path of rectitude and virtue is narrow,
and it is with the greatest difficulty that dan
eerous extremes are avoided. The current
with great power, draws us to one side or the
other. The farther we get from the middle
course. the stronger the drifting strength Of
the waves. In moment when we yield to
right hand temptations or left hand defec'
tions, we find ourselves drawn toward the
vortex of destruction. The path Of virtue,
morality and true religion runs on ridge,
and these extremes are at fearful distance
below it; but it is wonderful with what rapid
ity the descent is made. There is constant
tendency in the human family to run into
these extremes. Men are inclined to be eth
er too rigid or too slack; to be righteous above
what is written, or to be extremely wicked.
The Athenians were too religious, and the
Sodomites we're abominably wicked The
former worshipped the gods of every nation,
and had an altar dedicated to the unknown
god; the former worshipped no god, but
plunged recklessly into all manner Of crime.
So it is yet. Sometimes we try to do more
than is required of us; and again at other
times we perversely neglect to perform every
thing that is required, and do everything that
is forbidden.
Nothing will save US from the utter de-
struction which awaits US but the preserving
grace of God But for the restraining hand
Of God we would rush headlong into vortex
of ruin.

TREATMENT OF BROKEN LEtis.-They
have u new way of treating the broken legs
ofhorses, which ought to be generally known.
A valuable horse iu Hartford, Conn, had his
leg broken short time since. The leg was
carefully set by an experienced surgeon, and
was covered thickly with plaster Paris. When
the plaster "set" or hardened, it kept the
limb as immovable as ifit had been made of
iron. Thus treated, broken leg, it is as
serted, will knit together in a brief time, and
become as good as ever.

AN ILLUSTRATION.

A striking illustration Of the mutual love
that exists between Christ and a true disciple,
as drawn by mastery hand.
Xenophon, the historian, tells US, in the Cy.
clopedia, that when Cyrus the Great, on his
march of conquest, approached the borders OF
Armenia, Tygranes fled with all of his family,
determined not to be exposed to the tyranny
of such a monster as he had heard Cyrus to
be. The conqueror was too sharp for him
he intercepted his flight across the mountains,
captured the king and all his retinue. To
show his magnanimity, Cyrus offered to al.
low Tygranes to pass sentence on each one Of
his own officers as they were brought before
the court. He could not induce him to open
his lips until the queen was presented. Then
Tygranes leaping to his feet, said, "Oh! king,
1 would die rather than she should be en-
slaved." Cyrus admiring his conjugal fideli-
ty, dismissed them, telling Tygranes that he
might enjoy all Of his royal prerogatives, if
he would become and remain his faithful ally.
When they had withdrawn from the pres
ence of Cyrus, each of the courtiers had some
word of praise to bestow upon the Persian
conqueror One admired the majesty of his
person another the magnanimity of his soul
until they had all exhausted their encomiums
when Tygranes noticing that the Queen had
not even expressed any gratitude for their
restoration to their dolninons, said to her {:
"Aud what dost thou think, Oh! Armenian
Queen, of Cyrus?
She replied, II did not see him"
"Whom, then, didst thou see ="
"T cav on]v him. who said, Il would rather
die, than that she should be enslaved! :"
Is it not forcible illustration of Jesus
love for his people; Not only was Christ
willing to die, but actually did shed his blood
on Calvary, that his people might not be en-
shaved by sin. And as soon as the sinner
can appreciate this love and realize its full
ness, freeness, unselfshness, he cannot see any
other object. No created being, no imaglna-
ry qualification, nothing whatever can attract
him from the Cross and from his zeal, love,
alteration and desire to please that Saviour,
who first loved him and gave himself for him.

ssg" A gentleman, whose morning dram had
been little too much for him, in saddling
his horse got the wrong end foremost. Just
as he was about to mount, a German friend
came up and called his attention to the mis-
take. The horseman gazed for moment at
the intruder as if in deep thought, and then
said "You let that saddle alone. How do
you know which way am going" And the
gentleman from Germany passed on.
UNSEEN HAPPINEss.-A Louisville girl
came blushng into the parlor the other night,
and told her father, when he noticed her bloom,
that she had been enjoying unseen happiness.
The old gentleman thought she had been
praying and was glad, as he is pious man
but instead the wicked lass had been kissed by
her lover in the unlighted hall.
ay- As a fashionable young lady, fresh from
boarding school, came to her honest old faith
er's breakfast table, instead of speaking Eng
lish, and saying, "Good morning" she spoke
French, and said, "Bon jour" "Of course
the bones yours, if you say so" responded the
practical old gentleman, as he handed her the
ossi6ed portion of beefsteak.
