How the Men Pboposb in Canada.— A new way of proposing marriage is: reported, and we give the facts for the benefit of those interested. A gentleman attended a bazaar recently, and fell iri love—as gentlemen sometimes do— with a demoiselle in the floral temper. He bought a 10 dollar basket of flowers, and, handing her a 50 dollar bill, said, "Ifyou don't give me the exact change, I'll marry you." The blushing maiden handed him back 30 dollars—she was probably confused—and he remarked, " I thought so." Cards will be out early next week.— Ottawa Citizen.
