BoARDiSa House. ELoPEMENT.-Tl The New York
Sunday Atlas gives the following account of the
doings OF "gay Lothario' of that city.
+. A married lady of Twenty-first street ofhitll,
erto fair reputation, clipped last week with 81
Young man whO is well known to great nun
Der of females in this city, who have, III one way
or another been the victims of his "decciVing
arts" Only two weeks ,bIfbre this event. he
was turned out of gehteel boarding house on
Fourteenth street, for getting into the sleeping
apartment of young lady from Virginia, at the
dead aud silent hoIr of midnight After being
turned out ofthis house in disgrace, lie went t.
another boarding house in TwenIy-tirSt street,
where ne formed the acquaintance Of young
married lady Of respectable connections and, III
few days they 'stept out" together. But they
can not have gone far, as neither OF the parties
had more than n few dollars in their possession.
The "gay seducer is a EhifIleSs young vaga-
bond, whose chief business for the last Fix or
seven years has been intrgues with such rich,
loose, and silly women as he could find IN the
boarding houses. A few years ago he was I'M
merciluIly whipped in Providence, for interior

Of that city. And, for few months past, he
has been paying n most violent suit to an old
maid of the most cIusty disconSnlnte type in
Nineteenth street, who is now left with her
.'tender BOSOM lacernted and bleeding, to weep
over her crushed and blghIed hopes. Ii would
seem that the frequency of such denoneineIts
ought to teach ladies more becoming caution
in forming boarding house acquaintances and Mt
tachments. This is dreadful wicked city. and
''gentcel life in "genteel boarding houses" ex-
poses attractive ladies, Imarried as well as SINGLE
to dreadful moral calamities.
