Written for the New York Sun In competition for and awsrded tht fhlrJ tt th Prises of two hun dred snd ftfty dollars, recently offered by the Pub lishers. 'Une, two, three,' struck the old clock on the mantle, as the widow Williams finish ed another sixteen penny shirt, nnd folded it up, saying to her daughter, 'My dear, 1 feel so nervous, I guess I'll taka.a walk around the block to see if ft won't strengthen me. If Sherman wakes just give liiin some of thai tea.' She had scarcely reached the foot of the atairs, belore n fit of coughing Btimmoned Emma to the bedside of her brother. The young man occupied the only bed, bis I mother and sister sleeping on the floor, at; tlie foot of the bed, or in a chair, there be ing but little choice since one or the otlur had; to give him their attention during the long still lioura of night. Although it had been but a week since he was "brought to his mothers meagre abode a helpless inva lid, he had in that short time dwindled to a frightful skeleton Ifia sunken and gmssy eyes, his long w hite bony fingers, the pale red Hue ot his cheek, and the low, sepul chral cough, all proclaimed his speedy dis solution. Let him who reads, ponder! Sherman Williams had sufficient education and natural ability to render hitn a good and useful citizen, but leaving the wulch ful care of that mother whose affectionate oOunscl might have prolonged his life and spn-red her this present woe, he had follow ed the dictates of his own blind passions, until that disease which only deserts its prey when the 'last enemy of man' hews hitn to the toinbj arrested his progress He had never been guilty of any crime againt the laws. He was as yet in the infant class, and incapable of exercising in those higher branches of vice which claim the Uionitiy attention of t. e law, and was now about to be cut down ere he had finished the course, which his mother regarded as h 'benevo lent interposition of Providence rather than as a chastening stroke. ' xou will live with us, when you get well,' said Einma, when he had drank the tea which she gave him. 'I will get some thing to do, and you will board with us, and we will all live together so comforta bly.' Lruuia, louk there I ban! the young man, raising his bony arm, 'where is the flesh that covered these bones a week neo? Think you that it will return so soon ? No, I no, my sister, we cannot all lire together.' bay not so,' she replied, as the tears star ted to her eyes ; 'you will yet be well the doctor says so." 'The doctor is a prudent man,' he rejoin ed, raising himself on his elbow, 'and knows how lo temper the affections of the human heart to the impending stroke of death. Emma, I may not be here to morrow When I go, 1 shall leave you and mother penniless, ydu know, to struggle on in the great cortW between life and death. You are younger than myself, and hare not had, even were you older, the opportunity of knowing the world that I have had. In your beggarly condition, many will be the temptations presented to you, and with pau perism staring you in the face on the one band, and plenty within the reach of some power or charm you may possess on the other, you may in an hour of weakness j'ield, and be tumbled headlong to destruc tion. Such a temptation will be yours to eocouruer. Mr. Kogers who coines in here now and then, is connected with one of those model artist establishments ; it is bis chief business to procure suitable persons to figure in those degrading exhibitions, nnd no doubt he is only waiting for the breath ta leave my body, to commence his hellish overture. Emma, listen to the ex hortation of a brother on his ding bed. Ot your bread by honest begging, work your finger ends off for a bare crust, but never degrade your sex by committing an act which would break a mothers heart. Tho poor girl had already bathed her head in her brother's pillow, and was weep ing bitterly. 'Sherman,' at length she said, 'may hca ven and you forgive me if I am at fault I have withheld the fact from you until this moment I even now expect an engage ment, and have been to two rehearsals.' 'Gracious God I' exclaimed, the young man as he sank back exhausted. 'Emma,' he resumed, aiW a few mo menu, 'I have conceived a plan which I will immediately set on foot When I was quite a little boy, 1 remember being out with father, when we met a gentleman who took off my hat, and smoothed back my hair, saying what a fine boy I was, anJ that I would urobaWt ro to Congreaa soms day. Father told me when 1 gre-w older, that the rentleman and himself were boys together, went to school together, and lived J much in each other's company, and that tbey wen very mich attached to etch otn- er ; but their circumstance in life be mi so widely different had prevented .them torn keeping alive that attachment ' 1 have ob served this gentlsman am since, although he does not recognise ; me, of course. Ilia name is James TuthiU; be does, a vboUc sale business down town, and jrou'ean di ' cover his residence ht a director. When mother comes in you must get a sheet ? of paper, and lH write Uhtm to-trightl can wri e a good letter or rather, you trill write, Emma, under my dictation.' t The touth a rain became exhausted, and sunk into one of those reveries so commen to the sick after much Conversation, 'and when his mother returned, a restlety slum ber had closed hts eyes. TICK THE SEVENTH. In the afternoon of the same day on which Emma had officiated so unsuccess fully in one department of the 'science of astrology,' Madame FItmke and Mr. Ijg, eri had a tcte-tete id her own apartment. 1 li sVuld,e served ,fipre that tha gifted sex, with long round shoulders, which, J wrmmmm mm - vyrwMSwaw V SiWS with the weight of thirty-five years, was more than an offset for an agreeable sort of face, which she had faulty enough to suppose was handsome. . ,"r, 'U appears to me, Mr. Rogers, that.a model artists most have a gay life afk remarked Mrs. Fluoke. . - 'Oh, a Jolly time,; replied Rogers. 'What do they get what salary, I mean?' 'Some receive es much as fifteen dollars a week, and others only get seven 'Miss Williams is only to have five, she tells me.' 'That is, at present she will be worth considerably more in a very short rime.' 'Do they look natural, Mr. Rogers V Perfectly natural as natural as can be,' he replied, laughing, and drawing his chair a little nearer the fortune teller. I don't know but I may seek an engage ment one of those days myself. I think I could do pretty well in some pieces don't jrou think I might?' Yes, if you would b willing to submit yourself to the rules of the art 'Is H "irksome to be'coftfined to the rules V 'Not particularly so ; but they are some what disagreeable to a very modest person. There pre some pieces which, if perfectly presented, forbid the presence of the slight est thread of apparel .; 'Indeed I I should think they would pre sent a thaad-bear. spectacle ; but I sup pose one soon gets accustomed to it, and don't feel much abashed after awileb 'Oh ves ; habit is second nature,' said the living statue man, drawing his chaix-a little nearer still. '1 remember when I was ashamed to wilnesa such places myself, but now I take great pleasure in looking at 'em. 'I should think the sight would be high ly gratifying to your sex particularly,' tittered the fortune teller. 'Miss Williams is a fine figure for such a representation, I should think.' 'Ob splendid 1 never saw a better figure,' said the dealer in statuary, crossing bis legs and placing his hand on the back of the lady's chair. Here the conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a flashy dressed lady, wearing a massive yellow chain. 10 which was appended every personal convenience except a tooth-pick and hair brush, desir ing to look into the 'pad, present and fu ture.' Before she was admitted, however, brief instructions were given to Rogers, touching the mysteries of the science, and he duly accepted the invitation to officiate in the closet ' This is an ingenious contrivance,' said Rogers as he cruwled out of the closet, when the visiter had received her two shil lings' worth and departed. 'It is a conception qf my own,' replied the lady and except in a few instances has worked well.' And she then related the circumstance which happened in the fofenoou. when Emma let the dotr (ret the meat, and finally wound up, as Rogers was about to retire, with her uppermost thought : 1 shall give it up, though, if I mike up my iniod to become a model artist.' ' JL TICK THE EIGHTH There are some men so constituted eith er by nature or education, and sometunei, both, as lo view every even: in life as a matter of coura. If ill befalls, instead of getting into a paroxysm of rage, and find ing fault with innocent parlies be lore an in vestigation has been commenced, one says Well, if 1 bad known this or that before, it would not have happened ;' thus losing sight of the actual guilt of those accessory to the event in acknowledging nis own power to avert it, had be used due caution. This is looked upon by suoie as a sort of crunuud obsjeuionsaesaybut unfortunately for those who view it in this light, any thing that tends to rstise a good man in the estimation of his friends cannot, in the remotest degree, approximate to criminal ity Of such a disposition was Mr. Tuth ill , and when his son William was brou ght home by a policeman, after having been knocked down in tho street by a ruffian, and questioned by his father par ticularly as to the manner in which it was brought about, the eld gentleman only ex claimed, 'Well, if I had waited until the store was closed and we both had gone up together, this would not ham hapoaoed' This) was all he a:d. but it was not all b thought 'Why he would ask hurself, stj Tonus ra 1' I Jan. 1 . 1949-
