AN EXTINCT FAMILY.

1t is curious fact that there are no
known descendants of Christopher Col
urnbus. He had two sons, one of whom,
Don Diego, rose to the distinction of an
Admiral, and the other, Fernando was a
scholar. Fernando was a great traveller.
He not only thrice visited America, but
subsequently, traversed the whole of Eu-
rope, and every accessible portion of Asia
and Africa. He appears to have been a
profound scholar and thoroughly good
man. In his viii he stipulated that his
library, containing twenty thousand vol
umes, which he gave to the Cathedral of
Seville, should be free to the people, and
it is to this day. From books in this COL
lection the late Washington Irving OBJ
tanned considerable portion of the in
formation on which bis 'Life of Column
bus" was found. The following quaint
epitapb, almost obliterated by time, ap-
pears on the tablet which marks the site
of his tomb: ''What doth it profit to have
sprinkled the whole world with my sweat;
to have three times crossed the New
World discovered by my father; to have
embellished the shores of tranquil Quad
alquiver, and preferred by simple tastes
rather than riches, or that l have assem-
bled around the divinities from the source
of Castalia, and offer to thee the riches
gathered by Ptolemy, if passing in silence
over this stone, thou shouldst fail to sd-
dress single salutation to my fathers
memory"

I have delayed writing TO you for a few
days in the hope something interest.
ing might trsnspire, but have waited in
vain. Our city is IN quite a fourishing
condition : now business in all depart
ments seems to be brisk, and our business
men look more happy and contented than
at any time since the war. In the last
year there have been six or seven large
brick storehouses erected, and in fact the
sound of the hammer and saw are heard
In all directions; the vacant lots about
the town are all being covered with
houses and as consequence we be-
gin to have quite a city-like
appearance. The tobacco market is
not yet fully open, although there are q
good many buyers here. The farmers all
prices, and are in hopes that when peace
u declared In Europe, tobacco will
go up. There is q general complaint in
regard to the wheat crop; the farmers say
there will not be over half crop. Al
great deal of the wheat sown did not
come up at all. 3 Our new Criminal Court
created by the last Legislature, is now in !
session, and is doing quite a lively bust
ness in the way of sending men up to
Nashville, to work on the capital grounds.
T. W. King, the presiding judge, and F.
0. Anderson, the Attorney general, have
gained quite an envisble reputation by
the able manner IN which they fulfill the
duties of their respective positions. On
last Monday evening the first annual ball
and concert of the German Mannerchor of
GAINESVILLE took place. Tie singers were
composed entirely of German amateurs,
under the direction of Mr.. John Snyder,
who is a musician of more than ordinary
ability. There was large and attentive
audience present who were highly de-
lighted with the performance, and one
and all pronounced it q great success.
Our space will not allow us to mention
all of the performers, but we must men
ton particularly Mrs. John Snyder, whose
sweet and melodious voice seemed to cleo
trify the audience and called down storms
of applause also Mr.. Kirchaffer and A
Wiel Jr., whose splendid singing
were specially noted by the au-
dience. After the concert was
over the ball commenced. Bush's
string band from Nashville was present.
ard old and young people, one and all,
Joined together Sin tipping the light fan
tastic toe" which was kept up until
morning. Taking as whole, it was one
of the grandest entertainments ever given
in GAINESVILLE. On Tuesday night Frank
lin Hall was filed by a large and fashion
able audience, who had assembled to wit
ness a performance given by the young
ladies and gentlemen of GAINESVILLE, for
the benefit of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Words would fail us, even
if we had space to describe the sweetness
of the music
"Through every pulse the music stole,
And held sublime communion with the soul.
Wrung from the coquettes breast, the impassioned
sigh,
And 6ndled rapture In the coolest eye."

THE OLD GoURD ON THE NAIL

A"G OAD 0OOHD ON 1hE NAIL
1t hangs there stil on the ivied wall
The old gouId on the nail
Mid the flowers Of spring, the blasts Of fall,
Or the winters snowy wall
Twas hung there last by fathers hand
That old goUr1 on the nail
When mother had washed with the go den sand
That and the old oak pail
Oft has the traveller pGused to drink
From the newly ssnded pail,
Or quenched his thirst At the fountains brink,
From the old gourd on the nail
Oft has the storm kings wrath at night
Blown with deAfening wall;
still it hung there yet in the morning light,
The old gourd on the nail
And It hangs there still in fits wonted place,
The author Of many tale;
While memory reads In each preface
OF the old gourd on the nail!
As / read in the sands that glitter now
On the rim Of the old pail,
They seem TO tell of its marriage vow
With the old gourd on the nail
They have passed together the st rms of life,
The gourd and the old oak pail
While she upheld as the dutiful wife,
lie guarded her from the nail
And now in the hour Of LIES decline,
They SIT and tell their tale
She on her shelf in the circling vine,
And the old go1rd on the nail
And sit In the Light Of the freside glow,
And list to the winters wall,
And the mournful swinging to aud fro
OF the old gourd on the nail
Thus l sit and dream on the winter night,
By the old hearth's cheerful blaze,
A memory wings her ftful flight
Back into childhoods days!
And there seems but spot in a world 90 wide,
To hope and remembrance dear
lis 8 moss-clad grave, By the old spring eide,
And the two are sleeping there!
And when life and its cares shall all be DER,
Like the winters passing wal,
Nay drink, when reach that distant shore,
From the old gourd on the nail!

Ard here thou shalt I'LL thy pitcher,
Like Rebeccs, the well besidel"
But voice from yonder window
Through my shuddering senses ran,
And these were its words: "Ms-ria-r!
