Our boarding house was not a common ,

convey the idea that there is anything pecu
liarly uncommon about us or our, house--
only that we reside in an aristocratic por
tion of the town, and consider ourselves on
the whole, rather a select set.
But, however select a company may{fie,
the fact that they are select is not an infal
lible proof that nothing disreputable can
occur among them.
This has been especially proven in our
case. We have just been deeply agitated.
excited --Shocked ! happily for the reputa
tion of our place', -Ore ,Bair 01 which 17eak
had a gratifying termination.
' In our boarding house resides an inveter
ate bachelor named Wigloy. Mr. Wigley
is by no means such a person as some peo
ple invariably represent old bachelors to be,
neither In appearance nor disposition. Ile
is• portly, middle-aged, good natured, (un
loving, sociable fellow, and likes the society
of the ladies far better than three-fourths of
the marriect men. Mr. and Mrs. Pickleby
are also _Of our.r.onapsuip Out former, a e.orn
mission merchant, is a very quiet and a very
respectable sort of a man: exceedingly fond
of his wife, and withal, a little inclined to
jealousy, the latter it a beautiful and affec
tion creature, who dotes upon her husband,
jeaLus at all.
One day last week, Alms Celestia Nobba
—another of'our boarders, and a maiden la
dy of thirty-five or thereabouts—heard a
noise in the ball below, and stepping out of
her apartment, she leaned over the baoisters
to see what was the cause of it. She dis
tended her storklike neck to its utmost
limit, and listened with breathless interest.
"I am so glad you are come "' she heard
a voice, which she at once recognised as
Mrs. Pickleby's, exclaimed, and the next
moment she saw that lady pass beneath hi/
to meet a gentleman, of wimp she could get
but a partial view. Then me odd kiss was
given, and Mrs. Pickloby said, in a some
what lower tone of voice.
'iConteiwith me—come to my room; Mr.
Pickleby is at his office, and I ern alone."
Then, both started in ascend the ktairs,
and Mrs. Nubbs hastened to withdraw into
her roniii,but not before she hail got a bet
ter
glitipso of the man widit wa.s with Mrs
Pickleby, and discovered in him , as aliti
thought, no other than Mr. Wigley. Thai'
gentlemen had been absent in the couritry
for a week, and she had seen him on his re
turn, not more than an boor previous, enter
the house.
Miss Celetitia Nobba is ono of those pure
and immaculate beings, the chief desire of
whose hearts it is that nothing, sinful shall
occur on earth, and who, fasting theinkclves
spotless, philanthropically. a..s they seem to
imagine, spend their time in prying into the
affairs of other people, and dictating to them
the course they should pursue.
"Ah l ha !" said the spinster, as she clos

She sat fir half an hour in deep medita•
don upon the matter, and then arose and
moved towards the door.
If the wicked, shameless creature
thinks," said Miss Nobba to herself; -if she
has, the faintest idea dial, such actions will
be guttered in this house, she will find her
self mistaken, I can assure her."
She littard footsteps without, and as she
passed into the hall, she saw Mr. Wigl oy
descending the stairs, and heard him leave
the house.
"Left her, have you 1" she uttered under
her breath. "Well, well, I never expected
to witness such goings on, never! But
you're found out—you'll know—both of

Miss Nobbs was gratified to find Mrs. Briggs
in company with her friend on this occasion.
Mrs. Briggs, 1 may as well state, is a wid
ow lady of some twelve years standing, who
had long endeayored—lt Is generally believ

importance to make known."
"Do tell," exclaimed Mrs. Doobs, with an

Mrs. Briggs was stricken dornb by the

Mr. Pickleby, soon after his interview

Mr Pickleby washed lhe blood from his

Female Beauty and Ornaments.
For the sake of ornament and beauty, the
ladies of Japan gild limit teeth:" For the
same purpose the ladies of India paint their
teeth red, and the Gazerat beauty dyes hers
black. , -
The modern Persiads greatly dislike red
hair, while on the contrary the Turks much
admire it ass mark of beauty.:
In Greenland the women color their faces
with bide ind yellow paint, and s Musco
vite woman no matter how fresh her com
pletion, would think herself very ugly if
she were not plundered over with paint.
The women in Turkey paint their eye
brows with the tincture of a olack drug, and
tir.ge their nails with a rose color. The Sy
rian Turkish ladies dye their hands in h,n-
In some countries mothers break the
noses of their children, and in others press
the head between twp boards to make it
grow square.
The characteristics of an African beauty
are small eyes. thick lips, a large flat nose.
pearly teeth, flat foot, and a skin " beauti
fully birck."
The Peruvian ladies wore a heavy ring
suspended. from the nose—sometimes two
rings —of gold and prceiyut atones. _ Same
individuoug traveler; no doubt an old Gael).
elm has remarked that '•they never perform
the very useful and salutary operation of
blowing the nose'' The ring prevents it.
In China a beauty is characterized kv
small feet! and long thin erebrows, and
small round eyes. The Chinese belle, in
addition to these personal charms, top.
herself off with a bird of copper or gold,
according to rank. Tho spreading wings
all over thw front of the head-dress conceal
the temples, and the tail forms a beautiful
tuft of fathers behind.
