GoLD HuNTING,-Ani incident was relaten to-
Yesterday of an old man from Jyracus, N. ",
who had been taken sick at the mines out on
the Sacramento. and who, having exhausted all
his privisions, was in the most deplorable state.
lie went about from tent to tent among the mi
ncrs to beg mouthful to eat to keep him from
starvation. The mines, in scattering out, gem
orally take, rod square, which is considered
the limits of their dggings. Entering camp
one day the old man begged for meal aud
told his story OF adversitv. Lets give hima
chance said the men, "he's an old man and is
sick; what say youI let's help him out" "Well,
agreed" replied the party. " Here old man."
said one of them, "you may have that spot over
yondcr whar you sec that rock, So take your
pick and go to work"
The old man started out, and the first day
realized the sum of sixty dollars. This gave
him new hope, and his friends rejoiced with
him ai his good luck The next day, however
the old man was uulucky, and did not realize
a cent They told him to try it again, howev-
err and he did so. In picking under the rock,
after the cxertion of whole day, the old man
found what is called "hen's nest from which
in one week, he realized the handsome sam of
$1,000. His friends told him that he had
better stop now, as he was old, and start for
home. So he adopted their advice, and took
the steamer at Chagres for \. Y. We hope

But not one earnest oflove did he leave;
He turn'd to depart i'll silence withdrew,
Yet he Wild not pang, nor aim'd TO bcrcave.

THE TRUTH.

"pila,c saith unto him, What is truth !"-JonN xviii,
While radiant orbs shall trace their course,
Thro' realms of upper, neither heaven,
And souls mount upward to that Source
Bv whom they feel their being given,
Shall this the human mind employ,
That longing, tasks its utmost power,
To grasp the fruits OF heaven and joy,
The wi,herd buds of Eden's bower:
While wand'ring man treads DER the sod,
An outcast from his sonship driven,
Beneath frownng maker God,
A sinner to his ignorance given,
Shall one grand theme the though hts engage,
.Where'er commanding thrones are placed
The lofty poet, priest, and sage'
And minds in humber walls encased;-
With fears distract the peaceful hour,
Where gladsome ears attend the sound,
As joyful earth, beneath shower,
Receives the rain upon her ground;
When softest tones, that ne'cr grow old,
Still strike like music OIL the ear,
In words bespeaking to the soul
A friend and lov'd ones presence ne;r.
Thus mem'ry of the state we've lost,
Doth spread cloud upon our peace,
AS Ger ship by tempest toss'd,
Aud creaking Oh the watry deeps.
Is there no hope !-no guiding STAR
Appear no cheering beams of light!
Illuming from that land afar,
The dilnness of our fallen sight!
sThy ,oord is truth; ;''* enlivening voice;
Let each attend-the Savior speaks;
Unfolding life, immortal joys,
To ev'ry soul that truly seeks.
The sheep shall know their Shepherds voice,
And seek his fold to enter in-
A flock submissive to his choice,
No longer tread the paths of sin;
His voice to life direct their steps,
Aloft the cares Of time and sense,
And congregated words confess,
The greatness of their recompense.
