And I dare say, he added, if we knew all we could say a thousand. Five or ten thousand would perhaps have been nearer the truth. And so it is with the common people generally. They have become great roamers nowadays ; they go forth in hundreds every year into all parts of the world, but they appear to cher...ish the old Cornish feeling against marrying among strangers; they return after few or many years to find wives, and that, I conjectured, was the old miner's motive in THE POETIC SPIRIT 189 coming back to his village "just to have a look round." One of the saddest things in this perpetual going and coming is that a great many men, young and in the prime of life, return after contracting miner's disease, usually in Africa ; and though it is known to every one that they are doomed men, they marry and live just long enough to leave a child or two before they are gathered to their fathers.
