An incident occurred recently, at the Eastern district police station, of a very affecting and interesting character. About three o'clock in the afternoon Mr. John W. Frank was passing along Gough, near Bethel street, when a boy about ten years of age met him and asked him for a penny. Mr. Frank handed the boy ten cents, but as he did so, thought he recognized the child, and asked his name, when he replied that it was Dehring. After some further conversation Mr. Frank became convinced that the boy was no other than the lost son of a widowed friend of his; and with this impression he took him by the hand and conducted him to the Eastern police station, when he informed the officers in charge of his suspicion. An officer was despatched for Mrs. Dehring, who hastened to the station. On entering and observing the child, she uttered a shriek, sprang toward him and clasped him in her arms, kissing him passionately, while the tears gushed from her eyes. The boy stood amazed, not exhibiting the slightest recognition. The mother continued her caresses, at the same time asking him if he did not remember her, and referred to incidents to awaken a remembrance of his home. In a few minutes the boy's countenance changed, tears started from his eyes, and then throwing his arms around his mother's neck, he exclaimed, “You are my mother.” On the recognition, Mrs. Dehring appeared to be wild with joy. She wept, laughed, clasped her boy to her breast, and then prayed. The scene was one which those who witnessed it will ever remember, and which awakened within a sympathy which found expression in tears. When about six years of age, the boy wandered from home, and after a diligent search the mother came to the conclusion that he was drowned, and for years mourned his death. The boy states that he has been living with many different families, who kept him to run errands and do light work, but lately he had no home, and was compelled to beg during the day, and the money he collected he gave to a German family, who gave him in return lodging and food.—Baltimore Exchange.
