long lives. She told him of her
family grown up and away from
home, some on the new pralries of
North Dakota, and others off to the
Pacific coast. OF her life compan-
ion, whom she had travelled with on
her life's journey forty years, and
then bad gone over to the other
side; and that he was a veteran OF
the civil war, and member of the
old iron brigade Of historic fame.
The new found brother told of the
incidents of his life and the won
derful escapes from death on the
water. He recounted one of his
fishing expeditions on White Fish
Island on Lake Huron, when the
ice came down and flooded the land,
SO that they were only saved from
drowning by clinging to the rocks,
and as soon as possible they took to
their boats and drifted two days
without food. They at last took
their chances of reaching the main
land by walking from one ice pack
to the other, where after terrible
journey of many hours, they at last
reached the end of their perilous
journey.
The sister told himsome incidents
of the life of his brother Oscar, of
whom he had never heard. How he
had passion for the sea and trav-
eled all over the world, and at last
had a diploma in France to practice
surgery. Afterward he was sur
geon 10 the French transport ship
which sailed for the Crilnea. Com
ing back after that war he after
wards served through the civil
war as surgeon in New York reg
iment. When that cruel conflict
was at an end he settled in Elmira,
New York, and a number OF years
ago died there. She also gave him

the ditch for Erie Canal, the first

he arose, and in his honest convic-
tions that it never could prove
success, he loudly responded nay.
The sister had heard her aunt's
story of their early life in Ulster
county, where their father was
slave holder, and how when his
suit OF clothes was gotten up to
travel to Albany, the good wife as
sisted by the black woman, spun
and wove the cloth and made those
fashionable knee breeches and long
waistcoat by hand, and he also wore
ruff1ed shirt fronts, with his shoes
with silver buckles and his hair
braided and tied with a black rib

riage driven by his black man
Prince.

glad to have news that their broth

week to join them and all that was
left Of the family would be together.
The brothers have met once but the
sister has not seen this brother
since the year 1859 So the hours
of this happy day passed away all
too quickly and the evening shad-
ows came on while they we're re-
calling the olden days gone by, and
it was late at night before they sep
arated for their rest.
II may be possible that this will
be their last reunion on earth, as
the faltering steps and fast whit
eniDg locks should remind them
that they are fast travelling to the
other shore. They can surely take
this comfort to their hearts, that in
that home beyond where eternal
youth shall be their portion OF Joy,
they shall meet again never to be
separated by and by.

dren of their own So taking with
them their baby boy, they emigrated
to the woods, and in that home was
born the boy who met his sister
after the lapse of over sixty years.
The little girl went with her foster
parents to the Granite state, where
they resided many years.
The little boy grew up to be only
few years old with his three
brothers when his mother died and
his father took these brothers of
his back to his sisters in New York
and left him with an uncle of his
mother. This uncle went to Cali
fornia and died there. leaving the
boy amongst strangers and to the
mercy of the wide world, who grew
up without even knowing that he
had a sister and brothers. His
father went to western Wisconsin
and died before he had learned of
the lonely condition of the son he
had left, who grew up to manhood
and began for himself the occupa-
ton of fisherman. His love for the
water was inherited from his grand
father. who was an old sea-captain.
His home for many years was on

Michigan, where after while he
owned fine boat aud a fishing out
fit of bis own, and on one dark day
terrible storm arose, and he with
two men were tossed about by the
wind and waves, which capsized
his craft and they drifted seventy
miles and at last came to the shore.
His life was only saved by his hair
freezing to the side of the boat,
which kept his head out of the
water when he was so nearly gone
he could not help himself. He was
SO grateful to this noble shock of
hair that he did it the honor to wear
it long ever after.
By this time he was so discour-
aged with the loss of his property

York and as the civil war was just

Mrs. L. N. Rowe Meets a Brother whom
She Had Never Seen Before
This Meeting.
That Truth is Stranger than Felton,
is Again Verified Back in
old Ontario.

A recent copy Of Belleville. Can
ada, Ontario, contains an interest
ing story of Mrs. Z. N. Rowe of this
city meeting with brother in that
city, for the first time since the two
were born, period of over go
years. The meeting occurred in
Belleville during the early part OF
July, Mrs. Rowe going from this
city to that town on the important
mission. Charles Adams on Pin
nacle street, that place, was the
brother whom she had never seen
prior to that time. Mrs. Rowe gave
the Ontario the following interest
ing story of the affair:
We do not always have to look
through the wonderful books OF
story or of song to get the true ro-
nance of life, as in this meeting Of

saw each other. There is chain oil
circumstances that had kept them
apart for many years. Truth is
sometimes stranger than fiction,
aud we can only wonder at the
change of fortune, and how it could
be possible that members of one
family could grow up to old age
without ever meeting, even by
chance.

thrifty farmer by the name of Aaron
Adams bethought himself to leave
