Remarkable Resemblance.

As a New York man was walking through a street a long distance from his home, he met, as he supposed, his young son, and, reproving him for being so far from home, he started to take him back. At that moment a woman approached him and demanded her boy, accusing the man at the same time of an attempt at abduction. The man held fast to the boy, so the woman obtained a policeman, and the parties were brought before a justice. Both insisted that the boy was their own. The man’s wife was summoned to solve the problem, and she brought her boy with her, to the amazement of her husband. The resemblance between the children was very remarkable; but the astounded father readily gave up the contest, and took his own boy home.
