THE DAILY TIMES.


The Gold Hunter and the Dagaerreotype.
BY W. II. coYLE.
a care-won man, with haggard brow
Sulen, and gloomy, aud cold,
Hurrest fast through SucramenBo's Streets
For his heart is fixed on gold.
A year has gone by-a lonely year
Oftoil and peril. and strife:
And an ocean rolls its waves between
The wanderer ana his wife.
is he happy! All, did ye not hear
As he passed, that weary sigh
Ana needed ye not the restless glance
VI his wild aud sunken eye?
stranger greets him moment and leaves
package for his own hand;
Eager he breaks the SEAL as he sees
1t comes from his native land.
A small clasped case-he touches a sprine
When, like the light of star,
Two sweet faces look up into his,
Laughing out, Here we are, Pa"
Spellbound he stands there: "Here, we are Pa"
Their gentle voices he hears
But he cannot speak the words are choked
In bursting Hood of tears.
What now to him the sparkling sands
In the mountain streams that shine2
He'd give them all couiu Unuse niue arms
hound his neck again entwine.
Then he cursed the demon of the mine,
w hose serpent tongue had told
him the tempting lie that happiness
Must be bought with yellow gold
For he felt that natures purest gem
Is tear when true friends part;
And lore, the brightest diamond IN
The mine Of tie human heart
That night he dreamed of his cottage-home,
On the slope OF sunny hill,
Andhe saw the gold of his harvest felds,
And heard the hum of the mill.
His pale, lone wife by the window sat.
Rocking her baby to rest
And sobbed she kissed its dinpled hand,
And gazed on the far blue West!
His children shouted, "He ere we are, Pa
Two girls and romping boy
And his old dog leaped up to his lips,
And barked long and loud for joy
An outward bound ship, with spanged flag.
Flies swift through the white sea foam;
And a careworn man sings mournfully
Oh! there as no place Ike homei
