A KISS AND ITS CONSE
QUENCES ;
Our boarding house is not a common
boarding house, nor arc our boarders coat.

rey the idea that there is anything p-cu
liarly.uncommon about uc or our house—
only that we r,-,:dc in an aristocratic pon.

at the whole, ratLor a srlect eet,
however select a company may 1,,
the fact thi+t they are select is not an infal
lible proof that nothing disreputable, can
occur among LlDmi
'lbis has been especially proven in our
cate. We have just been deepiS , agitated,
excited--shocked! Happily for the rei,u-
Lotion of our place, the ulluir of which I
speck had a-gratifying termination.
In our boarding house resides an in veter
aie old bachelor named Wigley. Mr. Wig.
ley in by no means such 'a person as some
people invariably represent old bachelors
to be, neither in appearance nor disposition
He is a pprtly, middle-aged, good-natured,
fundovilig, sortable fellow, nod likes the
society of ladies fur better th-in three
fourths of the married men. Mr, and Mrs.
Piekleby are also of our comphoy ; the for.
titer a commission merchant, is a very quiet
and a very respectable sort of a inr.n; ex
ceedingly fond of his rife, and, withal, a
little inclined to ivalOUßy ; the latter is a
beautiful and afrectionate cr,ature, 10110
doles upon her husband, and iso't jealous
at all.
One day loot week, Miss Celestia Nobbs
—anothur of our boarders, and at maiden
lady of thirty fire or thereabouts—he,rd
a noise in the- hall b and stepplng oat
of her stmt....mem, ..he homed nor the ban
nisters, to see want wan the cause of it.—
,:ht distended her rtoelr-liko neck to its ut
most limit, and listened with breathless
int,rt,t
you aro ao:ne!, she heald
a she'at imed rilVa4ti2ed h
Mrs. exclaim; and the next
moment 411 saw 'thnt lady pass beneath
her to meet a gendeman, of whom sh,
coahl get but a prtial view. Then a loud
Liss was giros, and Mrs. Pickle by said, in
somewhat lower tone of voice :
, Cents with me—come to sty toots ; it r.
Picktell is at his office, and l am alone.'
Then, both started to ascend the stair,,
tad Miss Nobbs hastened to withdraw in
to her room, but not before she had caught
abetter glimpse of the Iran with Ira.
Pickleby, and discovered, as she thought,
no other than Mr, Vigley. Ti,' •nt!e
tnan had been itbscot , .try for
tree!;, nod she
,had seen tan , on his re
turn, net more .than no hour previous, en.
ter the house., .
Miss Celosti a Nobbs is one of those pure
,tial immaculate things, the chi desire of
whose hearts it is th it nothing sinful shall
occur on earth, and who, feeling tiler:wives
to be spotless philanthropically, as they
scent to imagine, spend their time in prying
Into the affairs of wilier people, and dicta
ting to th .an the course they should pur
sue.
! La !' sa,d the spioSter, as she clos
ed the door of her room, and walked on
tip-toe to n beal—`it's come to this, has it?
I always thought there., was something
store than everybody knew going on be
tween the two.'
She sat for hull an hour in deep medita
tion upon the matter, and then she arose
and moved toward the door.
'lf the wicked, shameless creatu re thinks
said hiss Nobbs to herself-- , if she has the
faintest idea that such actions will be suf
fered in this house, she will find herself
mistaken, I can assure her.'
She heard footsteps without, and as she
passed into the hall, she Paw Mr. Wigley
descending the stairs, and heard hno leave
the houscl.
'Left her, have you 1' she uttered under
her breath. 'Well, well, I never expected
to see such things going on—never ! But
you'io found out—you'll known—both of
you
She hastened to the room of Mks Dobbs
on the floor above. Miss Dobbs is a con
fidante of Miss Nobbs, a few years older
than herself, and a few degrees thinner in
person. Mi-is Nobbs was gratified to find
Mrs, Briggs in company with her friend on
this occasion. Mrs, Briggs, I may as well
state, is a widow lady of some twelve
years standing, who had long endeavored
it is generally believed by nearly all
the house—to captivate and en t rare, in the
tt
inesheof matrimony, Mr. Wiley.

said, 'fort have a thing of the greatest im

'something you'll be surprised to know.

the curiosity of her listeners became unen

her words take full effect. Miss Nobbs
looked solemnly from one to the other,

you that I saw with uiy own eyes. Mrs.

You don't say r ntt,•red Miss Dobbs,

•True, every word ; I,ut that isn't all;

'Gracious heavens !' ejaculated the lis
teners Eialultareously, elevating their hands
in horror and supri.se.
'Yes; she told him he was all alori—

'Our characters are not to be trifled with

so frrr d to stop lire !'
'Poor Mr. Pickleby !' sighed Miss Dobbs
tats• hint from my heart.'
'A n d en do said the ,idow ; for I
dare say he bus not the least suspicion of

speaking in a low and deliberate tone of
voice.
, You ar, right—he must know it, but

only want to do what is right,' said Miss
Dobbs submissively.
'Then lot us go at once.'
'Yes ; the sooner he hen his mind disn•
bused in respect to his wife, the better.'
Forth, accordingly, the immaculate . trio
sallied as soon us they could make the no.
cessary preparations, and bent 'heir course
toward th, store of Mr. Pickieby, in the
loner part of the city.
The merchant was busily engaged in the

The ordinary salutation of the Germuu
