1it ! i ;.- 4W , .. I tf . M ' ' .; ricnso rass tho Salt. FOB SALE. A real romance occurred lately in a hotel in Montreal. In tho hotel thcnroad agent of a respectable company bpordod while in the city. In tho same hotel an Amorican young lady was domiciled. The 'lady was pleasant and accom plished. Tho young gentleman at firpt viewed tho lady admiringly at a distance, but too timid to approach. Day by day his interest grow stronger. lie had never spoken to her, nor she to him, and, so far as ho was concerned, this was what he most earnestly desired she might do. In this dilemma ho applied to a friend for advice. "Do you eat at tho same table?" aaked the friend. "Yes," was tho reply. "Then I would advise you th,e next time you dine to ask tho lady to pass tho salt." "All right," sighed the lovesick hero. The following day he intendtd to put hfs friond's advice into operation, but was most delightfully balked by tho lady asking him "to please pass tho salt." From that moment tho ice was broken, till at last the lady asked for tho gentleman's card, in order that she might know whom she . wa9 conversing with. Tho gentleman at once handed the lady his business card. Matters then went on smoothly, all the while the couple enjoying each other's oompany at concerts, operas, etc. At longth this state of matters was brought to a crisis. Tho lady was about to return to tho Stttto. The lover was perplexed and again applied to hisfriond for advice, who at once advised him to pop the question and thus settle anxiety. She was willing to bucome one with him. The question then came, when the happy day would bo. She replied "to-morrow." To this tho gentleman at first demurred, a3 he had oertain business matters to fix. She told him to leave them alone and write to his employers ce'igning his position and leave the rest to her. "He complied ; they were married and went to the States, when tho Canadian gentleman learned that he had married a young widow worth $250,000. In his happiness he did not forgot the friend who advised him. Ho Bent that gentleman a check, for $2,000 with a letter of thanks for his kind advice in enabling him to beoome a rioh and happy man, through the possession of a handsome and loving woman. . The centleman who tendered the advice felt dubious as to the reality of the chock, and did not present it at the bank for some days. At last he put the matter to the test, and was informed the money had been lying in the bank at his ordor for a number of days. And so the romance ended, to the satisfaction, of all persons interested". Canadian Paper. The Hawk and the Hen.
