Yet not a single soldier gnailed
When wounded comrades round them wailed

And there the evening bugle4hty;

visited the tent of a family, consisting of

substantial citizens. •
And :what became of the old mini?
The wife had nut seen or heard of bitii

had lived happily together as man and

course in California. however. All that
we know of him is, that fortune had nut
smiled upon hint, and . that forvears he
had toiled without hope. Finally, feeling
scarcely: able to longer wield the pick and
shovel,' he visited San Francisco, in the
hope , of obtaining employment better,
adapted to his wasted strength.
For; three months he remained idle
after arriving there, and for want of oecd
pati ',became the humble retailer of pea•
nuts and oranges, with his entire stock of
truffle in a basket upon his arm. This
was about six months ago. .A few weeks
s i nce , iu passing the open door of a cot
tage in the southern part of the city, he
observed a lady in the hall, and stopped
to offer his inerchandiz t. As he stooped
upon the threshold the lady approached
and the old man raised his eyes and drop
