Columbus Love Story.

/ According to the ideas of his time
| Columbus was a religious man. He dil-
/ gently frequented a Conventional
church Of the city, bat though his first
attendenccs there may have been
prompted by disinterested devotion.
there were other reasons for the in
/ creased aSsiduity with which he con
tlnued. There was, connected with the
convent, girls school for the daugh.
tiers of well-to-do citizens. aud the pu-
pills were in the habit of regularly hear
ing mass in the church. One of them
would that we could recall her features
long moulded into dust-attracted the
admiration and love Of the weary marin
er. There must have beena considerable
disproportion in their ages, for he was
no longer young, but he was
convinced he had met his fate, and the
inquiries he made confirmed his ardor.
She WAS the daughter of distinguished
sailor, bartholomew Palestrello, who
had been Governor of Porto Santo.
Her father had died without leaving be-
hlnd him any fortune; but her mother
stlli survived, and must have possessed
means OF her own. Columbus was ac-
cePted as sutton, and, what to young
men III those times must seem a very
extraordinary course of procedure, after
his marriage he and his wife took up
their abode with his mother-in-law.
We would give good deal to know
more OF that love story; how it was, for
instance, that the cast away adventurer,
reduced to earn his living by drawing
charts, managed so to ingratiate himself
with the mother, whose husbands posi-
ton might have enabled her 10 look
higher for her daughter. lie must sure
~ have been not only a devoted lover.
but a man of q good deal of tact, with
great power Of adapting himself to cir
cumstances. At any rate, the union
proved happy one. We fancy that the
suitor must have won the mothers heart
by the interest he showed in her de-
ceased husbands achievements; for af-
ter the marriage much Of the household
conversation turned on this subject, and
Columbus heard what fred his soul with
emulation, Palestrello had been man
OF much enterprise, and he had left be-
hind him papers and maps, which proved
to be OF more service 10 his son-in-l W
than any wealthy inheritance.--Go
