A child, the result of the attachment, was ultimately. from the inability of either of the parents to support it, consigned lo the caro of the grandmother on the (uttioi’spido. Tiio mcilhcr had frequent opportunities 1 of seeing and hearing of her boy while sti« i om.in.a in that part of the country, bat some time af.erwards she left the neighborhood and removed la a distance. Afterwards the father left the same district also, and removed to Ireland, taking the boy with him. Some years passed away, and being mutually ignorant of each other's placo of residence, the mother, after using means lo discover whither her child had boon removed, gave up all hopes of obtaining tho much I desired Intelligence. She conducted herself well in ■ the gentleman's family in which she served, and in a few years after an odor of marriage was made her by a respectable tradesman, which, after candidly relating lo him the eircumstonccs of her previous life, lie was, by reason of his attachment to her, in duccd (o repeat, and she gratefully accepted the oiler. In (lie prosecution of Ins business ho soon after removed to Glasgow,whore ho commenced bus iness as an engineer. The father of the boy, in the meantime, had also married, and by him the youth, when he grew up, was sent io and completed his apprenticeship with an engineer in Ireland. Subse quently the lad went to Glasgow in search of, and obtained employment, by a singular coincidence, and without a knowledge on either side of the relation ship, from the engineer who hod martied tho boy’s mother; and* from Uio fad of Iter not having seen indeed 1 could not possibly have" rccogoiiod him as her long lost boy. It appears that a brother of the tad's father hap. pened to keep a booking offico for parcels, &.C., in tho city, and lo him, oniong others, tho father had sometimes, in his letters, alluded to the mother of his boy, and hi» natural curiosity to know what had I become of her. Tho young man was occasionally in tho habit of calling ou his father’s brother, and rooding or talking over any mutual letters they might receive from his father in Ireland. It chooced one day that a well dressed and even lady like woman entered the office lo hook a pored; tho man fixed his eyes upon her, end said ho hud some distant re collection of having seen her before, and begged, with all civility, to inquire whether. In her youth, she 1 had been in omplnymcnl as a servant at o monso in j the west country, which he named. The hdy ro- 1 plied that she had ; end ever anxious regarding her boy, and having no reason for concealment, eagerly inquired if he could give her any tidings of her son, or if ho know pnything concerning him 7 Tho man told her thulffßo was himself tho brother of the boy’s father; that having seen her In former years, ho re membered and recognised her countenance, and if she could call ol his office the succeeding evening, at seven o’clock,ho would make arrangements whore, by her eon should bo In attendance, ond she might see him.

The man informed her that tho lud hud not yet arrived, but wduld bo there Boon, and handing her a teat, told her that ho would cluio a half shutter of Iho aido window when hi' camo in, by which algo #bo would know that it was her #on who entered. People come and wont for a consider* able Umo, and Iho mother's feelings and oniioty were every moment increasing, when one of her husband's workmen entered llio office. She instinct ively turned away her head, for aho liked not that one in her husband's service should observe tier at Buoh an anxious Umo, but at that instant tho half shatter woo hastily closed, for it was indeed her rod who had entered. She gated at him as ho stood in his prime, and her wonder was great that aho should 1 recognise in ono ofhof husband's workmen her long I lost son ; but the proceeding anxiety and the shook wore too much, and as aho looked she became pale and fainted away. Restoratives wore immediately procured, and on her being completely recovered, an explanation of tho extraordinary circumstances was communicated to tho son.

Disregarding these expressions of public sentiment, a few merchants ir Boston continued to sell the pro scribed article.

Cast-Iron Buildings* Cast iron Tor building purpose, la coming Ouch day more into ÜBO.aa its capabilities arc more manifested by experience, and its superiority over other material, for strength and durability, is most evident by trial. Since publics attention has been turned to its excellent qualities, iron buildings are being erected in ell the principal cities. A writer m the Boston Transcript points out many of llio|advantsgca presented by iron for building purposes, to say nothing of tho proof i against conflagration which such buildings would afford. Frames for building can bo cast, according to any style of architecture or taste. Frames of iron 1 will bo of much loss dimensions,for buildings of sim liar sixes. They can bo cast so as to bo firmly united and jointed throughout tho whole structure. And the parts and portions exposed to view may bo highly ornamented by the Tim connecting and or straight, making angles or squares, or other forms’, 1 or bo variously ramified in these structures. Within j the frame work, panels of caat iron may bo sot, there being an outward and inward groove, for tho rccep. tion ofo n outward and inward panel or finish. Tito 1 panels can be cast after patterns of (ho greatest beauty and taste. Between these panels but little space will bo necessary ; therefore, upon a given lot, more in dour roam will bo obtained (herewith than by any other building materials, The sleepers and flooring being of iron, more height of story wiil be afforded, with the same height of building, then with tho materials now in use. Roofs should bo double, so as to allow a current of air to pats between them in tho sultry season of the year. Thoiough ventila tion may bo maintained throughout the edified, and a more equable temperature. Such building also would be a thorough protection Bgaintltbo destruct ive effects of lightning, the electric fluid would find the best conductor to tho ground, whore it would be safely distributed. One can order his house from the foundry, of a parlieulir size and pattern, finished for erection, to tho turning of Iho key, doors, win dowa, sashes, stairs, and all the fixtures, oven to flues ofgood draught, provided or furnished (herewith.— These frames and plates need bo only of the nccos strength ia required, Iho ViTppmf - inny by hollow castings, enlarged in dimensions, but not much, if any, in weight. Tho foundation of such structures will therefore bo loss cosily and extensive than those required whore other materials are used. A New Fish Basltteiia During llio pail winter, Uio controversy respecting iho resuscitation of frozen fish was effectually set lied through our columns, a now fact to many waa also brought to light, namely, the supplying the ponds with new kinds of hah brought from distant waters in a frozen state. Wo have also noticed in the Scientific American llio mode of cultivating carp in Iho marshy ponds of France; but perhaps the most extraordinary discovery of the present day, in (ho fish hoc, is (hat by which they can bo produced to an incalculable extent, in streamlets, rivers, ponds, iand lakes, by artificial moane. This process, within the last three years has been employed on a grand scale, with considerable success in various parts of France. Two fishermen in the Department of Vosges, having noticed that the lino trout In (ho streams wore tsst declining in numbers, made it their business to investigate iho cause. They discovered I that npt nna nro JJbu-Wl..*. \,rtay or devoured by other (fab. jfc struck t/iem th*t i if llioy wore to collect iho eggs and protect them from the largo fish, they would in a few fears obtain a plentiful supply. They according, in Imitolion of' I fish, placed the eggs on a bed of gravel, pul them in- ft box filled with holes, and sank it into llio bed of tivor. In duo lime they hod abundance of small | iroat, which they koplln clean woler, out of danger, and supplied with filling food. Applying this process fur a few years, they have slocked a great number □f the streams and rivers of Franco with millions of fine trout. This is a subject which should arrest the attention of people In our country.
