KISSING A STRANGE GIEL IN A STAGE’ COACH. When I speak of kissing, I don’t include kissing mother, or sister, aunt, or grandma’, or the little people; that’s allin the family, and a matter of course. I meat one’s wife, sweetheart, and other feminines, that-are not kin or blood connection ~‘That’s the sort to call kissing,’’ and that is the sort I am going to describe. There is » hoautiful village about twenty- four miles north of Now Haven, called in the Indian Jangpe Pomperany. What it means in Indian I'don’t know. “It was not taught usin the district school up there, where we learned our A, B, C's, and afterward progress- ed as far as B-A, BA, k B-R, Kea, BAKER; when I was allowed to graduate, and r the “ Youths’ Seminary,” under the charge of the Rev. Mr Fuller. “One of my schoolmates in the latter place was a bright, intelligent boy, of the name of Walter Marshall. I loved him, so did everybody else in the old village love him. He grew upto manhood, but not there. No; New England boys don’t grow up at hom efore they reach manbood they are transplunted, and are flourishing in all parts and ports of the known worl!. wherever a Yankee crait has been, or the stars and etripes. Walter Marshall, when he reached the age of fourteen, arrived in New York from his native village in the destitute situation that is frequent among New Engiand boys: that is to say, he had only the usual accompaniments of these unfledged chips, who afterward make the merchants and great men of this country, and not unfrequently of otherlands. He had a little wooden trunk, pretty well stocked with “him mades,’’ # sixty-eight cent Bible that his mother packed in for hiw, fearful that he might forgetit, a three dollar New Haven city bank bill, and any quantity of energy, patience, perseverance and ambition. He extered the counting room of a large mer- cantile house in South street. His honesty, activity and industry won him many friends. Among them was an English merchant, who had a large commercial bouse in Calcutta, and a branch at Bombay. He was in this ry on business connected with his com- mercial firm at Catoutta, and did his business for the firm Walter clerked for; and here the latter attracted bis notice. He was sixtcen years of age only ; yet the Bombay gentleman fancied him, and made him a liberal offer to go to India with him ; which. after very little alaver among bis fricnds, Walter accep New En, d boys dunt often start off on their unusually loag, wandering exeurs without first getting leave of absence for a few days preparatory exercise, which they sperdia going where thoy originally came from; aud then, having taken a few good looks at the weather-beaten church, the high old steeple, which has wonderfully reduced in size and elevation since they first saw it, to notice it, in school-boy da then they must hear the old bell ring once more, even if they have to take a spell at the rope; then take a turn among the white grave-stones, see if there are any very green wounds, frech made, , to ask whe among old friends have to their lest resting place; then to kiss mother and sisters, shake hands with father— and the stage is at the door of the tavern, and they ore ready for a start to go “any where ”’ Walter went up to do, and ‘do, all this; but he did not getinto the stage at the tavern. He walked down the road, ahead of the coach, toward the old bridge, and told the stage- driver to stop and let him get in at the minis- ter’s house—at Parson Fuller's, Mary Fuller lived there, tuo, fur she happened to be the parsou’s Only daughter. She was the mer- tiest, lovelicst little witch that ever wore long, loose tresses of auburn heir, and had blue eyes She was only twelve years old, and Walter was nearly seventeen. Shedrd love him, though; he was almust ali in all to her; he had fought her battles all through her childish campaign; and she had no brother She was Waltcr’s cousin, too—a sort of balf first cousin ; for her mother had been the haif sieter of Walter's mother. They were not too near related for purposes hereinafter to be named. 4 Poor Molly! she would have cried her eyes ont on this occasion, had it not been that Walters solemn phiz set her ideas of the ridiculous in motion; and she made a merry ten minutes as a wind-up to their parting wene. Three daye afterwards Walter was in New York, and just four months and twenty days farther on in Time's almanac he was making out invoices and acting as corresponding clerk to * the firm’’ in Bombay. : I shall not stop long enough to relate how many times he went to the exhibition ot vene- mous-looking cobra de capellos biting Sepoys, just for fun, and to ehow how innocent the beauties were, and how easy their bite was cured; how often he visited the far-famed Eiephant caves; how many times he dined with good Sir Robert Grant, the Governer of Bombay, and how he was with bim, and what he said the very morning of the day the old scuurge—the cholera—made the excellent Sir Robert his victim: all these things I shall leave to another time and a more appropriate heading. I skip over all these. and six years of time beside, and land Master Walter at Staten island, bring him up to the city ina steamboat, and leave him at a respectable hotel, and there let him sleep all night, and take a good ‘shure rest,’’ after a tedious yoy- age of four months and more . The next morning we awaken him; make him get up, pay his bill, take a hack, and ride down to the New Haven steamboat, and go on board. It is seven o’clock, a. m. _At one p m., the boat has reached the ett his trunk and ‘traps’? are on board the Litch- field stago; he has taken a seat inside ; his destination is an intermediate village. He is alone in the stage: no, not alone—there is an eld woman on the front seat, and a Prosbyte- rian clergyman on the middle seat. The stage is up in the city, and slowly meander- ing about New Haven town, picking up pas- sengers, who have sent their names to the stage office, as is still customary in that staid and sober city of mineralogy, theolozy, and other ‘ologies in general. The stage Jehu ulls up at the door of a neat little cottage in Chapel street to take up a passenger—a oung lady of sweet seventeen or thereabout. Beis she has fairly got inside, Walter has noticed her, and she has noticed him, too He gazes in astonishment at the perfect vision of loveliness before him ; he hasn't seen anything of the kind for some years. There is not a particle of copper about her. She, on her part, half laughing, has regarded him rery attentively; pushes back the golden ringlets that almost shut in her face, and takes another look, oat to be certain that as made no mistake. : on se is a seat Miss, beside me,’’ caid the ospel preacher. ae = Thank you, sir, but I prefer sitting on the back seat with that geutlemay, if he will let me, ’ said the most electrical voice that Wal- ter had listened to in some time ‘* Certainly, Miss,’’ said the delighted Bom- bayite ; and when she seated herself by him, she gazed into his face with a kind of mix«d up delight and astonishment, that Walter ac- tually took a look down upon himself, to as- certain what there was about his person that appeared to be so blessing to the fair maiden, but he discovered nothing unusual. The stage rolled on towards Derby, at its usual rapid rate, of five miles an hour, and Walter and the merry maid seemed as chatty and cosy together as though they had xaos each other for years instead of minutes. io mle ister tried to engage the ringlets in conversa- tion, but he seon found himself ‘‘ nowhere. She had neither eyes nor eurs for anyhody else but Walter; and he had told her more abeut his travels, and Bombay scenery, than he ever told anybody else before or since.

Walter handed the gentle girl beck to her old seat as gracefully as he could ba ° done had he never lived in Bombay, but al- ways stopped in New York. They were alone now; the minister and the old woman bad got out at Derby. “Well, We are off once more ; how fer are beg going ’’’ said Walter, as the stage went “Not quite as far as Litchfield. that your friends reside at Pomperany. giad they will be to see you.” “Very probable, unless they have forgot ten me, which is likely, for I suppose I havo altered some in seven years.”’ « Not a particle. “eat .

By the way, are you not cold? i wpe tome . he delighted young Indy was trying to con- ceal her face, which had called praity Walter's eas ‘Yes, it is getting colder; it is near! dark ;"’ and so itwas. Walter had a boat cloak, and after a very little trouble he was permitted to wrap it around her lovely form, and some how or other his arm went with it; and in the confusion he was very close to her, and his arm was around her waist, outside the cloak, theugh; then he had to put his faee down to hear what she said, and some- how those long ringlets of soft, silky hair, wero playing acress hischeek. Human na- ture could not and would not stend it any longer ; and Walter, the modest Waiter, drew bis arm clorer than ever, and pressed upon the warm, rosy lips of his beautifal fellow- traveller a glowing, burning, regular Exst india, Bombay kiss, and then blushed him- self at the mischief he had done, and waited for the stago to upset, or something else to happen; but no, she had not made any re tance; on the contrary, be felt very dis- tinctly that she had returned the kiss; the very first kiss, too, he had ever pressed upon a woman's lips since he gave a parting kiss to little Mary Fuller, and he would have sworn he heard her saying something (about the very moment he had given her that first long kiss of youth and love) that sounded like “ Dear, dear Walter.” He tried the ex- periment again, and before the had fairly reached the village, he bad kissed and re-kissed her, and she had paid them back kiss for kiss at least a hundred times The stage was now entering the village. Ina Aeapetetaeh he would be at M Ful. ler’s house. He thought of ber and be felt ashamed and riser ay cry What would Mary, ‘little wife’? that was to be, say if she knew he bad been actingeo’ As these things passed rspidly through his mind, he began to study how to get out of the affair quietly and decently al You gocn in the stage, I suppose, to the next town, or perhaps still farther!” “Oh, no! not me.” What could she mean? But he had no time to indulge in conjecture ; the stage drove up slap in front of Pargon Fuller's door, and there was the venerable Parson and his good lady in the doorway; he with a lamp in his hand, all ready to receive—Walter, as he supposed i ‘ ~*Where will you stop in the village? I will come and see you ”’ “I shall stop where yow stop. I won't leave you. Here you have been kissing me this last half hour, and now you want to run away and leave me. I am determined to ex pose you to that old clergyman and his wife in the doorway yonder More than that, your ‘“‘darling little wife’ that is to be, as you called her, shall know all about it.” What a situation for a modest, mors] man’ It was awful. To be laughed at—exposed ; aud who was she’ Could it be possible’? He lad heard of such characters! It must be; but she was very pretty; and he to be the means of bringing such a creature info the very house of the good and pious old ol man and his sweet old pet and ane is Mary Faller! He sawitall, lt was a judg ment sent upon him. What business had he to be kissing a airy, oh if she was pretty ” His uncle and aunt kad come clear down the stone-walk to the dooryard gate, almost tothe stage door, which the driver had opens’. Walter felt that he was doomed; but he had to get out. “Don’t, for God's sake expose me, young woman!" <I will—get out!” “Oh !? thought Walter, “ it’s all over with me!’’ and now he shakes hands with the clergyman, and flings his arms around the aunt “Mary !” exclaims the mother, “our Mary in the stage, as I live! So, so; you would come up with your cousin, eh ’”’ “ Yes, mother; and what do you think the impucent East Indian had been doing? Ho has kissed me at least a hundred times, and that isn’t all, he tried to persuade me to keep on in the stage and not get out at allt”? ‘* Ah, no wonder he kissed you ; he hasn't seen you for some years. How glad you must have been when youmet! But what ie the matter with you, Waiter? Let the driverstop and leave your trunk at your father’s as he goes by, and do you come into the house. Why whut is the matter? Are you dumb’ ‘Aren't you ashamed of yourself, Walter, not to speak to my mother, when she is talk- ing to you?’’ chimed in Miss Molly. Walter now found his voice, and before he got fairly inside Miss Mary was his debtor for a round dozen of kisses, which she took very kindly But as for Walter his mind was mado up. He had turned over the subject during the last three minutes. He would marry that strange girl. He was grateful; she had saved him from degradation, loss of character, and every thing else; but would she forgive him for being so free with a girlin x. coach? Doubtful; but she should have the chanee, at any rate The cheer eal received a glad welcome from his family and friends in bis old native vil- lage; and Mary Faller was bis traveling com- anion about the place; and tegetber they eee] the door-sill of every old farm house within a circle of five miles round. Walter had seen enough of the outside of the great world. He bad made some money, too, enough for his modest wants; he was old enough to marry—and so was Mary Fuller; and before three months more had rolled over their heads, the venerable old father made them one, in the frout parlor of the old glebe. When the vows had been spoken, the last prayer made, and the blessing pronounced, Walter ed, Mary to his breast, and imprinted on her lips another first kiss; but now it was the first thrilling kiss of married love, and as he held her a moment in his ardent embrace she whis- pered gently into his ear— Walter, dear, it is understood in the vow, no more kissing strange girls in a stage-coach |”’ be will be recognised by ittle village.
