Messrs. Editors: Unwilling that any one

only to state, in reply to article which appear
ed in your paper Of Saturday last, signed "James
Mallory, of Louisiana that | am, by order Of
the Commissioner of Public Buildings. in charge
of the alterations and repairs Of the President S
House; and in consequence Of the state of the
house, while scraping the walls to prepare them
for painting, l directed the door-keeper to ex.
cude all visitors for few days, until the floors
could be cleaned, as it was found necessary to
close every door and every window to preven
the fine dust from injurng the furnished rooms
The door-keeper informs me. he gave the above
reasons to all persons who were refused. in a
respectful manner. The Commissioner of Public
Buildings knew nothing of the order. As this
explanation is sheer act of justice; | am un-

READING" 1t ought to be leading object IN
our schools to teach the art of reading. 1t ought
to occupy three fold more time than it does. The
teachers of these schools should labor to improve
themselves. They should feel that to them tor a
time, are committed the future orators OF the land.
We had rather have child even OF the other sex,
return to us from school, first rate reader, than
first rate performer on the piano. We should feel
that we had far better pledge for the intelligence
and talent Of our child. The accom- plishmcnt, IN
its perfection, would give more pleasure. And
there may be eloquent readers as well as eloquent
speakers. We speak Of perfection in this art
and il is something we must say, in defence OF our
preference, which we have never yet seen. Let
the same pains be devoted to reading, as are requr
cd to form an instrument-let us have our formers
of the voice, the music masters of the readln
voice as the ancients had let US see years de,
voted to this accomplishment, and then we shall
be nrepared TO stand the comparison. But one re,
commendation OF the art Of reading is, that it re-
ou;,es constant exercise Of mind. II demands
sont;nnal and close reflection and thought, and the
6ne,t discrimination Of thought. 1t involves IN
;ts nerfecton, the whole art OF criticism on IAN

THE MURpERous BARRoN.-Through the con-
sderate attention of obliging friend we visited
the notorious Barron. in the city prison, together
with the spot where his cold-blooded crime was
perpetrated 1t is singular coincidence. that at
the momeut we are transcribng these hurried me-
moranda, the murderer is standing in the inmedi-
ate conAux of two eternities, and Time is shaking
his almost exhausted hour-glass before his startled
eve. He has not an hour to live So young, and
vet already at the bottom Of the downhil of life !!
We were admitted to the prison, through the cour-
tesy of the jaer. and after passing the lower
ranges of cells, ascended fight of stairs, to
ther tier, in which were confined Barron's accom-
plices, whose trials yet to take place. Ascend
ing still higher, arrived at an iron door, which
opened to large and well lighted apartment, in
the centre OF which, chained to the floor, sat the
murderer, on rude bench, with another before
him, on which lay a few books. His countenance
was youthful, fresh and smiling; but his eye had
the CLEAN Of genuine devil in it; and sufficiently
evnced. that under the roses of youth may flourish
the thorns and briers of sin and crime. He was
slowly notching his few days OF life, vet he was
wholly unconcerned. The bloom hourshed on
his cheek. Still it was thought. as he gradually
drew near the gallows, tree on which desperate
courage sometimes hideously blossoms, his spirit
would melt and his demeanor undergo change.
As one of our party passed behind the victim to
see how the organs of his skull had been tuned
by the hand of Providence, we glanced at volume
he had laid down, as we entered. 1t was light
French work, in the original, and if we remember
rightly, play of Molerc. These evidences OF
his stoldity, in connection with a manner and con-
versation, thoughtless, Indifferent, and even gay,
prepared US for the report of our chronological
ameture, who pronounced him perfect negaton
OF all goodness. He had never before encountered
such hillocks Of iniquity. No wonder he had
overleaped the highest moral fences. His head
would outrival the cast of Fieschi, the internal
machine maker to His Majesty Louis Philippe
We babe the murderer last farewell. and pausing
"a moment in the female department, perfect
"harem scarem," at times if we may Judge from
its two or three occupants on this occasion, we
descended to where minor offenders against the
pocket of society obtain their board and lodging at
the towns expense. As we walked eisnrely by
a grated door, a flushed countenance and an unquet
eve flashed suddenly udon through the iron bars.
