For the IJarnesville Gaze'te.
Newnax, Ga., Sep. 28, ISC9.
I\Jesus. Editorsi I s-.e in the la-t
No. of the Gazette that my goo)
brother Dodd is out in a gumless nrti
cle after me. I fay gum less because
there is nothing in s id eomtmtn cation
w 7 oi tb ot ce. I think perhaps by the
1 1. me lie gets his blue col lards digested
jhe wi 1 feel hitter and can gve the
jivalers of the Gazette something be
| sides dams and bed cords. I think
j in 7 g n °d brother should not put the
W'ord of direction in connection witli
tlie name of bis pi ce ; those precau
tions should be placed at the first end
ol the tune, unle-s ti.e music or lan
guage afterwards authorises some al
teration. uh yes, I can pronounce
I-r-a. I fuel under lasting obi giuiou
to you fur that much ot your ki.owl
edge on articulation. Weil, my friend,
l know T have a shore hea 1. but I
would ratlur have a sTTort one than a
bdg or diseased head. I want you to
be very careful when you begin to rub
my ideas ; as my head is shoit there
might be danger of friction or collision,
or L might become confuddleJ. I will
take a dose of “patience*’ on going to
bed, as that is Dr. Dodd’s prescription.
Patience is a good medicine for a Chris
tian to take, but it’s very hard to swal
low 7 and it’s are very mi!i in
deed. If a person takes a double dose
there s no danger of salvation. L
was patience that kept good old Job to
his integrity. I hope you will giwe us
your notion in full upon the subjects
of discords, flats, sharps at <] tautology.
You want me to point rut the discords
in the (tine ‘ Ira.” Well, in the fourth
Measure from the first space of your
Alio, w'hich runs the Measure nearly
through on law Xo. 4, and sol on G
4th space of the Bass, which sol is 2\o.
5. Now it is contrary to the laws of
Nature as well as those of Harmony
foi Nos. 4 and 5 to produce harmonv :
but here you have a whole measure en
tirely discordant—that is, your Bass
ami Alto; the other parts do very
well. I want so know what sense there
h in your Alto miming as low, if not
lower, than your Bass. I see you have
no use for rests in your music. You
ask me to tell you whit should have
been in the place cf the discords. 1
suppose \*;u think l can’t tell you. It
seems to me that I dreamed, or read
somewhere, that Dr. Dodd placed those
discords in his music to bait “Reubin.’

bad in the place of your discords
smiithing sweet anti accordant. For
instance, No 5 in the Alto would have
been sweet and agreeab o compared
with the other numbers in said Meas
ure. I had reference fo the Gunter
that works by correct rule. I don’t
like to see Rtdi. al terms or dams in a
commuuicati at upon the subject ot
Mu-ic. Lt ss keep poli ics out of our
musical sheet and try to benefit our
selves and t’m rising generation. I am
alter moru light on the subject of mu
se; I t us wiite with brotherly kind
ness, and in a spirit of meekness, hon
oring one another. I don’t mind a
brother cubing sharp at me, so he does
it in good humor. 1 asked you to give
me the advantages < f 1 find or round
no;es over four or seven shapes, btu
you failed I hope when yon begin to
rub up my ideas on discords, tautology,
sharps and I don’t know what your so
forth (&c.) has reference to, you will
give the woild the advantage- of one
sliaje over four or seven shapes. Now,
Dr., do let ail irive the benefit of round
over shape, i notes. You a.-k the Edi
tor’s permission to propound a few
questions, and you ask this very iin
p ut nit question : “What i- a ‘Reubin’
in music I” \\ hy, Doctor, it “R ü
biu” keeps taking you; 7 pa'cut ‘ Pa
tience” lie may I ecomc one of the
best physicians in the land, or it may
be that the remedy will produce a nr.u
--| sicl death. I will gve the an-wer as
| you havo it —a poor old despis and pat
ent note singer, 1 ’he qu stion is so in
definite tin tno one can give a correct
answer. ‘‘A Reubin’ in musick,” you
say, ‘‘is a man that and sheiieves in
clefs, flats and sliatps,” but I think,
Dr., you are a lit:l*-* mistaken. “Reu
biu” is nothing in music compared with
Dr. Dodd. .Again, “Reubin ’is not in
musie, hut music is in the itufficient
creature. \Yln> evt r saw an instrument

Tn the furni uro auction store in

tailly drooped from crown to brow w s

and dn-airy. She wand* red among
the various articles of furniture tint
literally covered the ground floor, as if
in search of something too rare to at
fiact the attention of any one else.—
Picsently she p msed. A piano of
last, century make, more like a harpsi
chord or spinnet than the present piano
toi to, was standing in an ontof-tln*-
way corner. It, whs a diminutive af
fair, spindling in legs, without action,
and in a case ot old-time Spani-h ma
ting ny, such as to the pr. sent
tinn is ait gether unknown. r l he at
temion of the gentlemen in the store
was attracted by tlm sound of the
worn-out instrument. To it the wtird
visitor had drawn a chair, and on it sli
Lagan to play. Them sin* never saw.
She began with “Ronnie I) on.” Sue
pCved that air, and then, without
changing the key, modulated that an

united the sound of her voice to that of

store advanci and to the corner where the
worn-out harpsichord was placed. —
Had they tramped with ail their weight,
and slumted with all their power of
voice, she would probably have t.o
more heard them than she dd now
As they neared her they perceived the
tears were streaming down her wan
and attenuated face. She sang sever
al stanzas of lino time-honored melody
of Moore, and then struck the grand,
bold chords of the old-fashi" ed an
them, “Vital Spark of Heavenly
Flame.” IS.ie sobbed as she sing ; but
though tears blinded her halt-riaz ."i
