NEW ZEALAND. [BY TELEGRAPH-PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

TIIKRK is many a romance going on in our midst of which we never dream. I heard of a pretty episode which occurred at the Bijou Theatre recently, and which, though fraught with the highest importance to two lives, was yet unknown to anyone else in the audience. They perhaps noticed a gentleman between the acts go down the aisle and speak to a lady, and perhaps noted her little start of surprised pleasure and quick respouse, hut they did not know what it all implied. A Californian gentleman, who years ago had left home to engage in business in the East, chanced to be in Boston over night. He stopped at Adams' House, and naturally in the evening dropped into the nearest theatre, the Bijou, to pass away the time. There he saw near the front row a lady for whom when a young man, while she was a young lady in her native town, he felt the deepest affectiou. She had been scut away to a girls' seminary, and as he soon came East the two lost sight of each other. Now a happy chance had brought them together, for she, happening to be visiting friends in Bosten, had been that evening taken by them to the Bijou Theatre. These facts he learned in the few words of conversation that passed between the acts. She invited him to call at her friends. Of course he accepted, and, delaying his visit here for a week, at the end of that time departed, taking with him the wife whom years ago lie had wooed, and now ao fortunately won.
