ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Mr.. David Gentle, farmer OF falrlaA
county, Va, is visiting his widowed mother
Mrs. Anna Gentle, at Annapolis, Nd, after
a separation Of 81 years, during which he
has lost an arm in battle. The meeting be-
tween mother and son was quite affecting.
Each had thought the other dead until a
short time ago, when q letter from the
son brought the gladstone tidings 10 the
mother that her only child was living, and
led to the happy reunion. Thirty-one years
ago Mrs. Gentle lost her husband. David
was then an infant. They lived in Wash
ington. When - years old the boy was
put to work on farm in Fairfax county,
the mother remaining IN Washington to
support herself as best she could. David
remained on the farm six years. He then
went to another farm in Loudoun county.
remaining there two years. At the begin
ming of the war, at the age of>2O years,
young Gentle threw down his farming i'm
plements and entered the Confederate ar
nv. He lost an arm at the battle of Peters
burg, after which he was discharged. Mar
rying IN 1866, he settled down to farming in
Fairfax county and acquired u fair liveli-
hood, and has been living there ever since.
Mr. Gentle had believed his mother dead,
but his wife, ne said had often remarked
that he would find her some time. He
never expected to do so, however, and
probably never would have known of her
existence but for the Intervention of lady.
Two years ago this lady, who knew his
mother, in travelling through Virginia
heard the name of Gentle mentioned in n
railroad car. Approaching the party ad
dressed she questioned him about his pa
rents, and becoming satisfied that she had
discovered The lost son, told him where he
would likely find his mother. She said a
Mrs. Gentle who had son David lived in
Washington few years previous, and
promised to make inquiries about her and
let the son hear from her when she returned.
The lady went to Europe and remained =
year, and returning to Washington learned
that Mrs Gentle had moved to Annapolis
and so informed the son when next she met
him. David had recognized her on the
street on her second visit, and going up to
her asked if she had ascertained the def
mite whereabouts of his parent. On learn
ing that she was living at Annapolis, with
out moments delay the son wrote to her,
propoundng certain questions to establish
the relationship which he knew only his
mother could answer satisfactorily. In
few days the welcome answer came from
the mother, containing endearing messages
of love, and requesting him to come to her,
which he did at the first opportunity. Mrs
Gentle is sixty-iive years old and her son
forty-fO four. The mother has been invited to
spend the balance Of her days on q pleasant
little farm in old Virginia, and share the
hoSpitalities of the place with n daughter
in.law and an only grandchild, and she Will
probably accept.-Anapoiis cor. Bait. Sun.

FEMALE PICKPoCKETs.-As the female
hand is allowed to be more dexterous than
the male it stands to reason that girls
should learn the trade Of pocket picking at
least as readily as boys. if not more so. And
they do. There are no smarter pickpuckets
in New York than the girls anu young wo
men who follow the trade among shopkeep-
ers on Broadway, Sixth avenue, Fourteenth
street, aud Tweuty-third street. They can
mingle among the women, push against
them, and keep very close to them with
less suspicion than men would excite, and
they are Is clever in getting away when
their work is done as any artful dodger of
the other sex.
You probably have heard of female tagins
in New York who teach young girls to be-
come expert pickpockets think it is safe
to say that there are quite as many women
following this profession as men. The police
know dozeus of them i'll different parts of
the city. They do not keep regular schools,
but they are at no time without pupils.
Most of them are TO be found in the crowded
tenement neighhorhoods some keeping
small stores i'll which the plunder brought
in by the pupils, if it is thing that can be
sold, is received and disposed OF. Children
of S, 10. and - years arc encouraged to 60
out and pick up anything they can get, and
if they show smartness they are taken in
hand and trained, often much more thor
oughly than they would be for an honest
calling. speak only of girls; the training
of boys for miscellaneous theft is so notori-
Gus that it need not be mentioned. Nearly
all the trainers are old women, and there is

of her rasping tongue. 1t is characteristic
of these women to invoke bushels OF bless
