There's no woman in Americ, with a face beautiful enough.to carry out your design.' 'Joe, I've found her.' 'Where is she ?' Joe Dayton knocked over the cigar-st4nd, and stood up before Mark Hatfield. 'She may be in the next room, for aught I know, I expect her every moment, and I am sure I don't want to frighten her away.' 'Where did you find her ? 'In B- square, No. 12.' 'Why, that is Cliffton's !' 'Trecisely I' 'You don't mean Isabel Cliff ton ?- She is as ugly as a squaw.' 'No, I don't mean Bel Cliffton. Joe, keep still, I hear the door Opening.' He arose quickly and looked with almost womanish vanity into the glass,. giving his long, wavy hair a backward toss, and then ran out. 'Ahb, Miss Cliffton ! You are very punctual. Please walk this way. This is my studio, where you are to spend many tedious hours.' He held the door wide open.and she entered. She was a tall, finely-dressed girl, without a tinge of color in her face, save in the curved lips, and with ripples of black hair sweeping back in graceful ban deaux from tequeenly forehead. But there was all the artist desired -great, soulful eyes and an ex quisite regularity and perfection of features. 'My friend and brother-artist, Mr. Dayton, Miss Cliffton.' She turned and scrutinized him with her clear eyes, and bowed quietly. 'Whben am I to begin my work ?' 'At once, if you are ready,' he said, with his impatience showing itself plainly in the feverish finsh on his cheek and the brilliancy in his eyes. She went forward with that same quiet air, and sat back in the arm-chair which Mr. D)ayton ar ranged for her, and patiently, without a sign of s eariness, sub mitted to the artist's arrangement of the graceful folds of the cur tain and the turning of her splen did head to enable him to trace its exquisite outline. Once when he put his hand be neath her chin, there came a grieved expression about the flne mouth, and, strange to say, Joe Dayton, who had delicately step ped into the deep recess of the widow, and yet, man-fashion, was watching her all the while, gave an ottoman a furious kick, and frowned like a brigand. Then an idea struck him, and e picked up one of Mark's pen cils from the floor, and went on sketching, -for an.hour or more, until the lovely model went out with a regal swee~p of her plain black dress. -Whbere ocn earth did you find her ?' said Joe. 'I told you-at Cliffton's.' 'And I suppose you are in love with her?' 'My dear boy, she has not a dime to bless herself, or why should she come here ? She is a sort of nursery governess to her cousins, the young Clifftonis. I'm should make advance to some one like the fair Isabel who has dol. lars enough to bide any little imperfections of feature she may hare.' 'H'm ! I suppose you will be around there to-night.' 'Without fail.' The home of the Clifftons was quite up town, and was a wonder of elegance and taste, for Mamma Cliffton, in spite of many rumors of limited means, which might or might not be true, managed to ke2p up an astonishing display, and consequently there was a crowd of pleasure-seekers ever ready to respond to even the shadow of an invitation. There were very few present on this evening, but Isabel, the oldest, and by enemies maliciously styled the prop of the failing house, was in excellent humor, and came for ward and with good grace greeted the artist friends without distinc tion, although one numbered his wealth by thousands and the other by pennies. Mamma Cliffton was radiant. There was a big, bronz ed-faced old fellow, with a heavy tread and a voice of small thun der, who was towed along by this good lady, like a man-of-war by a wheezy puffing tug-boat, and who looked quite as uncomfortable as his conductress did happy. 'Mr. Dayton, my brother, Cap tain Clifton ; Mr. Hatfield, Cap tain Cliffton. These are our prom ising artist friends of whom we have spoken.' 'Yes,' growled the old follow, 'I remember. Are you making your fortune ?' 'Mr. Dayton's fortune is already made, and I expect my own will be founded when I complete the work I have now in hand,' said Mark. 'AhV! 'Yes, sir. And we have a mem ber of your family to thank. Ile found his model here,' said Joe. 'ilere ?' thundered the captain. 'Here ?' cried Mr. Cliffton. 'Yes, here,' -went on the incura ble Joe, without a glance at Mark's imploring face. 'Your niece, I suppose, Mrs. Cliffton. She is Mr. Hatfield's model.' 'What, not my niece Hjonoria, sister ? That is strange.' But Mrs. Cliffton, Iwith that skillful band of hers, quietly var nished the matter over, and whis pered to Joe : 'Pray don't mind him. Hie is a strange creature, but, for all that, an angel. Hie is immensely rich, and poor Bel is his heiress.' 'Poor Bol!' thought Joe, and then he looked back at his dis comfited friend from whom the blustering captain was pumping every drop of information he re quired. Mark Hatfield went home that night, honestly believing himself a ruined man, and that his model would never again make her ap. pearance, but at the appointed hour on the following day she swpt~ in. She took her seat in the chair, as usual, and sat back witout a murmur, and Joe Day ton peeped through the curtain until the sitting was over. Then he came out, and, with almnost unpardonable boldness, beggec leave to see her to a stage. She accepted the kindness, ae she did everything, with perfec1 composure, and they walked away. 'It is tedious work for you, is il not ?' he asked, when they were in the street 'I do Dot like it.' 'Why do you accept his offer ?~ 'Because I am poor,' she an. swered, frankly. He was treading on delicatt ground, so he called her attentioi to a handsome carriage whirling up the street, and asked her i: she liked driving. 'Very much. But I haven't en joyed the luxury of a drive for long time.' 'To-morrow I shall be at you: door with my carriage. Will yoi drive with me ?' She looked down at the plaii black dress and shawl and thei looked up to him with a shados on her brave face. 'If you will not be ashamed c 'Miss Clifton, you are hasty it your judgment.' 'I am not sure that I can witi propriety accept your invitation. 'I shall come,' he said, smilin" and she rode up town in the closi stage with a wondrous happinesi in her beautiful eyes.' He did call, and she came down on the arm of the sun-bronze< captain, who placed her in th light buggy, saying: 'I hope you will enjoy your af ternoon ride. There's a regulai nor'-easter brewing and I am go ing to just sit and enjoy it.' He pointed backward and laugh ed, and Joe caught a glimpse o Mamma Clifton and Isabel lookin wrathfully from the parlor win dow, and then they rode away it the bright sunlight as happy pair as ever hved. This was the first ride, but i was not the last. Never alon did she walk from the studio, fo Joe was always there to escor her, and, as of course you wil naturally infer, he asked ber it good time to be his wife. Even though she bad held since her father's death, the posi tion of governess and nurse t< her little cousins for her boar< and an occasional present, anc been treated in every respect as menial, yet in her happiness sh went to her aunt and cousin anc told them of her engagement. They had been in excellent hu inor all the afternoon. and whet Honoria had completed her story she looked blushingly up for thei approval. Isabel was white a death with suppressed rage, bu the anger of her mother knew n bounds, and springing to her fee she pointed -o the open door an< cried, in a voice thick with pas sion : 'Do you see that door, you un grateful wretch ? Leave this room gather up your effects and leavi this house at once. You ari an artful hussy ! you have trie< your best to alienate the af fections of your uncle from Isabe whom he adores, and now yoi have caught Joe Dayton. iNo that I care for the act itself, bu the miserable spirit you show. G< into the street. I never want t< see your face again !' Honoria stood up, nervousy working her trembling hands, one over the other, wondering wher< in her extremity she was to go for in all the great city she knew no one of whom she might ask s< much as a night's lodging. 'You need not hesitate,' sai< her aunt. ''No, Honoria, you need no hesitate,' said her uncle, steppins from the library. 'Get your ha and leave this house at once. 'You hear what your unci says,' said Mrs. Cliffton, in tri umph. 'And don't you dare, Honori: Cliffton, to again step your foc over the threshold. I've got room at the Fifth-Avenue, and I rathe think I can find money enough t find you a suite there, too. I'v beeu waiting for an outbreak c some kind that I might take yo awasy. As for you, sister Clifftor I'm afraid you'll have to fin another purse, and your daughte Isabel another rich uncle, for can assure you that you will neve get a dollar from me, or anothe hour's drudgery from tbis poo wronged child. Honoria, dea1 get your bat.' In a luxurious carriage tb young girl was borne away to sumptuous sbode in the hotel, an henceforward her life was ai easy one. She went steadilyt the studio, where she met her b< trothed, until the picture we completed, and then resolved t beber husband's model alone. Sib was married before the year en< ed, and proud happy Captain Clii ton gave the bride away, and wit 1her a brown stone palace, whic madie his grasping sister an her daughter turn greon wit envy. As for Mark Hatfield, his pi ture was a success, and eventuall he made a fortune and wedde for love. To break a bad habit requir< 'more effort than to contract good one. iscdiantems. THE RISE AND FALL OF MOSES. X. Y. Times, Oct. 5th. There appeared in the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, to answer to the charge of obtaining money on false pretenses, a man who has held many offices in his day, from Judge to Governor of a great State, and who is now a beggar and a penniless vagabond. There was a time when be bad control of almost unlimited wealth, rolled in luxury, and sported with wantons and liber tines with the profuseness of an Eastern Prince. To day he has bardly a friend in the world, and, broken, gray, and seedy, he ekes out a slender subsistence by his wits. If a novelist were to weave into a romance the main incidents r of the career of Franklin J. Moses, formerly Governor of South Caro lina, people would say that his story was 'sensational,' but some w hat improbable. The life of' Moses furnishes a capital example of the ease with which a bold and reckless man may seize on power and pelf in times-of political un settlement and revolution. The period of reconstruction in the South was lfoses' opportunity. His fall was the natural conse. quence of his ill.spent life, not of the end of the era in which he flourished. It was said of Moses long ago r by one who knew him well, that 'he was a noble-hearted man, with a paralysis on the moral side.' t Exactly what constitutes a noble bearted man, however, is not easily determined. As long as Moses had money he scattered it like chaff. But that which he tossed about him with prodigal hands was not his own, and the creatures who lived on his bounty never gave him credit for genuine generosity. So when the day came to bim when he, like one of 1old, 'would fain have filled his Sbelly with the husks the swine did eat,' his fine weather friends had all forsaken him and fled. The man who made the streets of the capital of South Carolina re splendent with costly equipages, jewels, and gay attire was at last brought down so low that he stole an overcoat from an office into which he had gone on a pretended errand of business. Where were his boon companions, the men whom be had enriched, the fav orites of his brief and brilliant career, when he was so reduced and humiliated ? Born of a good old Southern Sfamily of Jewish descent, gifted with many rare personal and men tal qualities, Moses might have made for himself a name of which South Carolina would have been proud. The rapidity with which h e ran the whole gamut of ordina sry ambition proved his native geniue. At the close of the war, although he had thrown himself, eheart and soul, into the Confede rate cause, he saw, as but few others did, that the leader of the newly enfranchised freedmen was sure of power; and he took up r their cause with an enthusiasm that seemed almost real. His sa r gacity and audacity were reward red. Speaker of the Assembly, he r engaged in a career of corruption, ' bribery and robbery which has had no parallel. in this country. e He 'made no bones' of his rascally aintentions. If he wanted money, d horses, or any specie of property, nhe demanded these of the men 0 who sued for hie influence in the passage of bills in which they swere interested. He procured thbe o0 enactment of a law which gave e him, as Speaker, unlimited power to draw upon the State Treasury, and from that day his warrants b taking precedence of all other de h mands, were plentiful as the leaves d of the forest. He owned a money Having issued nearly two mil C lions of dollars in 'pay certificates' Ias Speaker, it was obvious that dGovernor Moses would rule tbe State with all the profligacy and Sextravagance that he had shown a in his less influential position. There wene almost no limit to this man's recklessness. He seemed utterly devoid of moral sense. He levied toll on every public and private legislative measure 'with money in it' which required his signatuie. It is a matter of re cord, for example, that a valid claim of $100,000, held by a bank ing company against the State, uould not be paid until $25,000 was handed over to Moses. He involved one of his underlings, Humbert, in a scheme by which the State was plundered of $20, 000, and what seemed to a grand larceny was attempted against the State, and when the officers went to arrest his Excellency they found him intrenched in his palace, guarded by the State militia. He gave away pardons like holiday baubles. Pimps, blackiegs, criminals of every com plexion were pardoned by tele graph, by letter, by verbal orders to -jailers, and with a freedom wbicb promised immunity to crime so long as the offender owned in Moses a friend. A spendthrift, Moses laid up nothing for the proverbial 'rainy day.' He ran his brief career, and, in two or three years out of power, out of place, and out of money, he drifted to New York. His life in South Carolina, after he had emerged. from the rebellion, was crowded full of exciting epi sodes. He lived a life of debauch ery, intrigue, and sensuous excite ment. He schemed and planned, but he never built for the future While it lasted, the golden stream that flowed through his hands was royally spent. While he had the opportunity he schemed to some purpose, and his plans for gaining possession of 'the poten tialities of great wealth',by onlaw ful means were admirably laid. But the end came at last. His term of office expired. His chances for gain were gone and he had saved none of his plunder He had consorted with lewd persons and his own wife and family were forced to shake him off. Thbe downhill road is rapidly traveled- The brilliant South Carolinian, the curled darling of fair women ard the successful ad venturer, has come do-wn from a Governor's chair to skirmish with vulgar thieves and imposto rs. Under an assumed name, the ex Governor of South Carolina flits in and ont of the Police courts. No need to point the moral of this sorrowful tale. Is Turs TRUTh ?-The London Truth says : -No man attacks the reputation of a youth as women attack that of a girl. The man who should come into his club and wisper about damning stories of his friend's young son, who should accuse him of dishonorable doings, such as would ruin the lad's char acter as thoroughly as the charge of immodesty, flhrting with mar. ried men and the like ruin that of a girl, would soon have the room to himself. But women over the tea table gather up the crumbs of scandal with relish and appre ciation, and even the mothers o~ girls are not ashamed to believe and repeat stories against then dear friends' daughters which may have no foundation in fact, and which, even if true, they have n( means of' proving and testing.' Live with your friends as i they might sometimes becomn your enemies, and with y->u enemies as if they might somi time become your friends. Life is not so short but tha there is always time enough fo: courtesy. Self-command is th~ main elegance. It often happens that thos whomj we speak least of on earti are best known in heaven. There are men whose friend: are more to be pitied than tksei: worst enemies. Many objects appear of value t~ us only while they are beyon our reach. To twit a man of his faults, i to expose a greater fault of ou own. ADVERTISING RATES.

Times. A couple from Virgina landed in Milton the other morning to be mnarried by 'Squire Lewis. They walked hand in hand up Main street and took a. seat upon the front of the 'Squire's office, and the matb-asked for Iiceasee. As the 'Squire was preparing to make it out tbe buxom girl. began to inch off, and hesitated, and finally said to the young man in a half whisper: 'Jlohn,' said she, 'I dion't believe I will-I never did. feel so frus trated-lawd!1 I wonder what pappy's doing now-I feel right tremblesome-less go back ; come on, John.' 'Then you don't want the li. cense ?' said the Squire, 'Hold on thar, Mister; yes, we do,' said the man ;.and he moved closer up, set his chin to earnest, bard work. 'Now, Sally,' said he, 'don't go on that er way ; what
