k DOMESTIC ROMANCE
CONCLUDED.
tEUNITED AFTER FIFTY YEARS' SEP
ARATION.
In our daily of the 15th ult.,
,ve gave the history of a romance
n real life, whose main facts it
nay be well to recount. Samuel,
athor of Rev. T. B. Eastman, of
;his city, left Concord in 1819 to
better himself in Massachusetts.
11o left a wife and three children
.ehind, and linally went on a
whaling voyage.. On his return
,he family had loft this city, and
no trace of them were to be found.
Fifty years passed away, the first
1hnily had grown up, and Mr.
Eastman, ignorant of their exis
tence, had married again and
raised another family. %3y an ac
:ident, Rev. Mr. Eastman ascer
lained that his father was alive,
and filowing up the trace, found
and introduced himself to him,
and told the story of the past half
balf century, so far as lie knew
i .
The elder Eastman, his second
wife being doad, gladly heard the
tidings of the lost tinily, and he
lame to this city on the 13th, to
renew the relations that chance
had so sadly sundered. Ie was
joyfully received by his grand
2hildren, whom he had never seen,
and on the following day per
formed his first duty that of vis
iting his mother's grave.
On the 17th, the aged wife, with
two of her descendants, arrived in
this city from Nashua, and went
to the home of her son, where all
but one of her 'family now living
wero gathered. The husband on
tered the room, and they looked
at each other in silence fbr a mo.
mont. The old lady was the first
to speak, saying, "Is this Samuel
Eastman, my husband?" "And
my long lost wife ?" he added,and
they rushed to each other's arms,
and kissed with all the ardor of
nveot sixtWon. By request of the
lather, a priayer of thanksgiving
was offered over the h)apply ire.
union by Rev. T. B. Eastman.
The old couple are now re-uni
ted, and though tho bloom of youth
has fled, both enjoy exsollent
health and spirits. The old gen
tleman's eyesight is, defective,
owin~g to straining it at sea, but
Le says' he can -throw a harpoon
or lance at a wvhale as well asever.
le has never had a doctor in his
life. The old lady is also in ex
nollent health, but with impaired
hearing. To both we wish years
of continued health and renewed
happiness.-oncord (. H.) Pa

the front steps of,an elegant lan

subdued light of' fair Luna, "buz.
zed" first-class affection in each
other's willing cars.
The steps upon which. they re
clined, together with the house
and lot, belonged to the father of
the female party. It was no dif
ficult matter for the young man to
discover, by aid of the moonlight,
that the young lady was comely
and fair to look upon ; and, in turn
for the fair ono to drink in tho'
lovolieness of' a newly sprouted

She said she thought sh6 wouldn't.
The two then mutually agreed
to part to meet some more. About
the time the parting was taking
p)lace, an upper window was raised
(wve wondered why those things
were thus), and a shrill. voice said:
"You Lavina, get to bed and

A separ'ation of hands fim
