Ferdinand Gumbert, who died recently in Germany at the age of 78. wrote 400 songs which, in their time, were as popular us those of Abt, but they are fast falling into neglect. We spend the second half of life in mowing down in our hearts al) that we grew there in the first half; and this we cull acquiring experience.
