THE PARENT WAS TOO LATE.

3 &
The gang-plank had been drawn in, the
lines cast off and all the necessary prepare
tons had been made for the departure of
the steamer Tangier from her wharf at
Onancocls, Va, on Wednesday morning on
her up-trip, when q young man, closely
followed by lady, was seen making for
the landing with hasty strides. The gang
plank was again put out and the couple,
easping fer breath, boarded the, steamer.
The vessel had moved off about hundred
yards when an elderly man came rushing
down, to the wharf, gesticulating wildly and
shaking his fist menacingly at the receding
boat. The couple, who had made such a
lucky escape and who now laughed in the
face Of the irate father, were Mr. George
8. White and Miss Annie Il. Hopkins, Of
Accomac county, to- whose nuptials the
father of the expectant groom had objected
Their ages were respectively IS and 20.
The father had discovered the unexpected
departure Of the pair and had chased them
without success. tssf 4 ~ .f.e..s.e
Before the arrival Of the steamer at Snow
Hill, where the marriage ceremony was to
be performed between the runaway couple,
the services Of Rev. George Bradford, one
of the passengers and an itinerant Baptist
preacher, were secured and the knot was
tied in the saloon in the presence of the
officers and passengers. n baltimore Herald.

SEALING WAX.

"Sealing wax" O stationer said, "is
quietly resuming its place for the sealing of
letters. The use of gum in the place of
sealing wax was o seductive appeal to the
laziness Of persons, who eagerly adopted
that method because it was quick and
handy. 1t is much easier TO run your
tongue along the flap of an envelope and
press the surfaces together than it is to heat
the wax and close the letter effectually.
"But it has now come to be slowly ap-
preciated that letter easily sealed is nearly
as easily opened. It only requires a little
dampness to open any letter sealed with
gum, and it may be done 80 skillfully that
1t battles detection. II is about as much
protection now to put letter in a gum
sealed envelope o. 10 put the contents on
postal card. Sealing wax is protection
against the prying curiosity Of persons not
dishonest enough to steal your letter out
and out, yet willing to possess themselves
of your secrets by peering into your letters
after steaming open gum-sealed flap.
"A pretty feature Of the uhe. Of sealing
wax Is the opportunity to use seals. Seal
rings are plenty enough, and. II you have
not seal ring, you may use a coin or q
bangle, or any rough surface, the breaking
of which might be an indication that o let
ter had been tempered with. The express
companies will not receive valuable pack
age for transmission auless 1t is carefully
sealed. Seal your letters by all means witt
