Dowx AND Ur.—In the year 1849, a young man
who was rich, and engaged in alucrative busiius-
in Cincinnati, became enamored of a beiinliful and
amiable girl—the daughter, by the way,-of weal thy
parents—«nd after a brief courtship, married her.
He loved ber dearly. She loved him dearly. A
fortune of happiness Beemed in c*ure for ihem :
but evil days came, and after a brief but violent-
struggle witb fortune, tbe young man became
bankrupt. He was left without a dollar, but not
without a hope. The gold mines ol California
were open to the adventurous and to the industrious. He would leave his beautiful wife and seek
its glittering nbores, until his fortunes had revived. Tbe resolution cuce taken-was soon executed.
He came to California, but the cloud still bung
over him. He was active, enterprising and persevering • yet, while others around him were gather
ing tbe golden haryest in abundance, his every
Objeet failed. For eight years lie co.ttiisiu (l thus.
He became sick, weary, and disheartened, but bis
pride would not allow bun to write home for us

he knew. He followed her to a hotel, got a fair
view, and recognized her as his wife, whom he
had not seen for eight years. He was poorly dressed, but his affection conquered his pride, and he
immediately made Bim Be If known to ber. The
recognition was followed by a beautiful esfiibltfon
of urn bated and unfaltering love. The lady's parents had died, having her nn heiress of great
wealth. She had not heard of ber husband for
eight years, and, tearine; for his safely, ,'uie resoTv-
