The Worcester Mass Spy tells this
story:
IA short time since there came on one
of the trains from the west slightly built
youth, who, after leaving the cars, asked
permission of one Of the baggage-masters
at the depot to seat himself and rest short
time in the baggage room. The request
was granted, and the one in charge of the
room asked of the other how far he had
travelled. The newly arrived said he had
come q long distance, from GAINESVILLE, Wis,
without stopping-and that he had come
to Massachusetts for the sole purpose
of hunting up his fathers relatives.
He said that his father had run away
from his home when but twelve years old /;
went on board ship for California. which
was wrecked before reaching that place, but
his father with part of the crew were saw
ed. He landed in California, grew to man,
hood, was married, had two children, boy
and a girl-the former the narrator. His
father had never communicated with his
relatives here, but having acquired a large
property, and retiring from daily active
life, being also in poor health, had more
leisure and an increased desire to find his
eastern friends.
1.-THE names being given, the baggage
agent informed the traveller that his faith
er's sister, herself the only survivor of the
family, was in the city, and within fifteen
minutes walk. This aunt of his was a poor
widow, her husband having lost his life in
the late war;. He told him to go to GER
tain street and number and call for Hattie
-, and ask if she had any idea who he
could be. He did SO, and, after looking in
his face moment, she said he
had his fathers eyes She had
often heard her people speak of the long
lost brother, whom they believed lost by
the shipwreck, as in list of the lost was

own by one or two letters. The Joy was
mutual, and the nephew urged his aunt's
return with him to the home and indepen
dence which would be SO freely given by
his father. But the young man returned
without her, as other ties were formed
here and home provided. He told her
that home and share of his fathers
property awaited her acceptance"
