seemed in store for them but evil days came,
and after brief but violent struggle with for
tune the young. man became bankrupt He
was left without dollar, but not without
hope. The gold mines of California were open
to the adventurous and the industrious. He
would leave his beautiful wife Ind seek its gilt
tering shores where he would remain until his
fallen fortunes were recovered. He came to
California, but the cloud still hung over him.
He was active, enterprising and persevering
yet while others around him were gathering
the golden harvest in abundance, his every OBJ
ject failed. For eight years he continued thus
He became sick, weary and disheartened, but
his pride would not allow him to write home
for assistance. He was at last reduced to sell
newspapers upon the streets for a living
A few weeks ago he was at Folsom street
wharf upon the arrival of mail steamer, and
among the passengers who came ashore he
caught the sight of a richly dressed lady whom
he thought he knew. He followed her to a
hotel, got fair view, and recognized her as
his wife, whom he had not seen for eight years
he was poorly dressed, but his affection con-
quered his pride, and he Immediately made
himself known to her. The recognition was
followed by a beautiful exhibition of undated
and unfaltering love. The lady's parents,
having died, had left her an heiress of great
wealth. She had not heard of her husband for
eight years, and, fearing for his safety, she re-
solved to visit this State and make inquiries fol

with her husband by putting her arms arount
