We will now return to old Mr.. BOYER

sage for his daughter TO repair to the
store Immediately. His object was to
send her in the country to a relatives,
and for that purpose ordered buggy
He was too much taken up with the
things Of this world to spare time to so
home himself; and then he thought
there was no use for his doing SO, as
Eliza didn't know of Arthur's where.
abouts. How mistaken he was. Before
Arthur left the hotel the first time, he
had written to Eliza Aud while the
old gentleman was pouring over business
letters, his daughter was preparing to
take her final departure from under the
parental roof.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when the
servant returned aud informed him that
Eliza had gone, and no one ON the place
Gould tell where.
Letters and everything else were
thrown aside, as soon us this intelligence
fell upon his ears aud almost in less
time than it takes us to record it he WAS
halls way IN, ,o.I -. l;.- l...n.s. ;-s-
Sure enough, when he got there he
found tha, the bird had flown
Up stairs, in tho garden, aud every
nook and corner were searched, but no
trace of the missing girl was discovered
After awhile note was found upon
the bureau drawers. 1t was one that
Eliza had indicted to her father pre-.
paratory to leaving.
as the old gentleman read it, he
seemed almost conyulscd with the emo
tions it produced.
Here is the note
"MY DARLfNa FATnER.EDon't get
angry with me, I am doing, no more
than you would do under similar circum-
stances. You know L love you, dear
father, but love Arthur also, and you
told me should never marry him.
believe if you knew how noble and gen
erous he is, you would not be so opposed
to our union. Please do not abuse him
any more. for before you get this he will
be the husband of your daughter,
ELIZA"
AS soon as Mr. Boyer had finished
this note, he sent to his store for his sons.
When they came, hasty directions were
given to each of them as to how and
where they should search.
But it was too late. The minister
was waiting at the appointed house, for
SOME hours before Arthur and Eliza got
there and after they arrived it did not
require many minutes to legally unite
two that were already onein spirit. Yes i.
before old Mr.. Boyer read Eliza's note,
she was the wife of Arthur Airston.

HooAand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme btters and is intended for Use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties OF the Bitters. Each bottle OF the Tonic
contains one bottle Of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM, and favored
in such manner that the extreme bitter
ness OF the Bitters is overcome, forming
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues of the Bitters. The price of the
Tonic is $3.50 per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be of pure quality. poor
article could be furnished at a cheaper price
but is 1t not better to pay little more and
have good article? A medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect to obtain
cheap compound will most certainly be
cheated.

On Canoes.

There is a great uncertainty As TO The
origin OF the word cameo or camd'GH,
some of the learned tracing it to the
Arabic, camsa, an amulet; others sup
posing it 70 be derived from chdmd, a
shell used by workers in cameo; others
again, giving it an Italian origin. The
term, however, derived in modern Ian
guages, has always been applied to a
gem, stone or shell carved in relief, In
contradistinc,ion to intaglo or engraving
IN caro-, though usually understood to sig
nifya medallion with figures raised In
relief upon a ground Of a different color.
Canoes were highly priced by the
ancients glyptographic art being
brought to the almost state OF perfection
in the palmy days Of Greece, at the
same time with the arts OF architecture
and sculpture. The names OF few
ancient gem-engravers have been handed
down to us. We hear of Cronins and
Apollondides, and of Pyrgoteles, who
lived i'm the time OF Alexander the
Great, and was employed by him both
as a seal-engraver and worker in cameo.
There are but few undoubted Greek
canoes extant; one of these-having
for its subject Cupid playing with Tyre
is inscribed with the name "Plotar'

Stones, such as agate, onyx and JAS
