Waiting for Hie Mother. Yesterday afternoon a neatly dressed gentleman, rather young in years, paced up and down the platform at the Union depot, waiting for a train. Nothing in the man's appearance indicated that anything out of the ordinary run of affairs had transpired or was to transpire. As the time for arrival of the train drew nearer, lie became somewhat restless.
