And :what became of the old mini?

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
