Loyal Canucks.

An intellectual gentleman, that is to say, a person with long hair and but-toned-up coat, and a lady were standing in front of a St. James street book store this afternoon. The gentleman was explaining something to the lady concerning pictures in the window they were both admiring, and as near as possible the following conversation took place: “See,” said the man of intellect, “how boldly imperial the face of the lady is, and how like that of her Majesty, God bless her.” Lady—“Oh, my! and so it is.” Gentleman—“ Then, again, observe the contour of the Marquis, even from a poor photograph you can see the long line of ancestry that—that renders the name illustrious—that Lady—“l was just thinking the same. Let us buy and take them home.” In, accordingly, they stepped, and the gentleman said: “I want to purchase the photographs of her Royal Highness and his Excellency ? ” “I regret to say,” politely rejoined the clerk, “that they are all gone; but we are having some more struck off.” “But, my dear sir, you have them in the window” (pointing). “No, sir; one of those is Hanlan, our famous oarsman, and the lady is his wife.” (Exit gentleman, hastily, after buying a newspaper.)— Montreal Post.
