The Doors OF the Heart.

Every persons feelings have front door
and side door by which they may be enter
ed. The front door is on the street. Some
keep it always open; some keep il latched,
some locked, some bolted, with a chain that
will let you peep in; and some nail it up SO
that nothing can pass its threshold. This
front door leads into a passage which opens
an ante-roOm, and this into the interior apart
ments. The side door opens at once into the
sacred chambers.
There is always at least one key to this side
door. This is carried for years hidden in
mothers bosom. Fathers, brothers. sisters
and friends, often, but by no means univer-
sally. have duplicates of it, The wedding
ring conveys right to one; alas if none is
given with it.
1t nature or accident has put one of these
keys into the hands of person who has the
torturing instinct, | can only solemnly pro-
nOunce the words that Justice utters over its
doomed victim: Lord have mercy on your
soul!' You will probably go mad within a
reasonable time, or if you are man, run off
and die with your head on a curbstone in
Melbourne or San Francisco; or il YOU are a
woman, quarrel and break your heart, or turn
into pale, jointed petrifaction that moves
about as if il were alive-or play some real
life tragedy or other.
Be very careful to whom you trust one of
these keys to the side door. The fact of pos
seeslHP one TeHueTS even those VINO are dear
to you very terrible at times. You can keep
the world out from your front door. or receive
visitors only when you are ready for them;
but those of your own flesh and blood or
Certain grades of timacy, can come in at the
side door If they will, at any hour and in any
mood. Some OF them have a scale of your
whole nervous system. and can play at the
gamut Of your sensbilities in semitones-
touching the naked nerve pulps as a pianist
strikes the keys of his instrument. / am sat
isfied that there are as great masters of this
nerve playing as Vieuxtemps or Thalberg in
their line of performance.
Married life is the school in which the most
accomplished artistes in this department are
found. A delicate woman is the best instru-
ment, she has such a magnificent compass of
sensibilities! From the deeD inward moan
which follows pressure on the great nerves
of right 10 the sharp cry as the filaments of
taste are struck with crashing sweep, is "A
range which no other instrument possesses
A few exercises daily on il at home fit a man
wonderfully for his habitual labors, and re-

side door key; too many have them already.

"WHITE Folks GETTING Sassy

"WHITE Folks GETTING SAssY-A few
days ago, while Conductor Woodall's train
was stopping at Xenia, three ''cullard gem
men" got aboard, and attempted to enter the
ladies' car.-The conductor stopped them,
and told them that if they wished passage
they must go further forward Rather than
do this, they stepped off-The conductor
spoke to the brakeman. a stout Goliah sort of
fellow, who never objects to a muss, and
told him to see that the trio of colored gen
tility did not enter the ladies' car before or
after starting. The brakeman eyed the trio,
who evidently intended to ride in that car
and no other. They did not like the looks of
the sentinel however. and after growing
awhile. one of them said:
Come on, gents; let's go take dat for'ard

From the Memphis avalanche.
Array Between an Editor and hank
President.

An ARRAY occurred DIT the Gayoso House
about three o'clock yesterday afternoon be-
tween l.. D. Stickiney, Esq, editor of the
Eagle and Enquirer, and Joseph Lenow, Esq,
the newly elected President of the Memphis
branch of the Bank of Tennessee. A cane
was used by Mr.. Lenow, while Mr.. Stickney
had recourse to the weapons which nature
gave him. Fortunately neither party was
seriously injured. The cause of the attack
was the following paragraph, which APP
peared in the Eagle and Enquirer of Tuesday
morning:
"At late meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen il stated that Joseph
Lenow. while acting as Secretary and Trca-
surer of the Memphis and Little Rock Rail-
road Company, pasted the leaves of the Com
pany's cash book together thus hiding his
official transactions from scrutiny. He has
since been elected President of the Memphis
branch of the Bank Of Tennessee. We recon-
mend the Captain to Cave johnson to paste
up the short comings OF his suspended institu-
ton"
During the afternoon Mr.. Lenow ar
raigned before the Recorder and fined $40 for
assault upon Mr.. Stickncy, and SO for carry
ing concealed weapons.
In reply to the above extract from the
Eagle and Enquirer, which gave rise to the col
lision between Messrs. Stickney aud Lenow,
the Directors of the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad Company make the following ex-
culpatory statement:
oYYICE MEMPHIS AND LITTLE Rock Z. II. Co.
MEMPHIS, Monday, December l, 1855.
We, the undersigned. Directors of the Mem
phis and Little Rock Railroad Company, have
carefully examined the books, accounts and

10Th day of June, 1856, to the 18th day Of
October, 1856, the time of his resignation
and find all his accounts and vouchers correct
and satisfactory, and respectfully refer to
his annexed balance sheet The report of
the committee, viz: ii. l.. Guion and ID. b.
Turner who examined into the books gac-
counts and vouchers up TO the 18th June
1856 and ON the file in his Office, is found to
be correct.
We take pleasure in saying that the said
Secretary aud Treasurer has kept the ac-
counts of the Company with much accuracy,
and is entitled to the thanks OF this Company
for the faithful and honest manner in which
he has discharged the duties of the office He
has handed over to the Company all the books,

How to Teach the Alphabet.

AT recent school meeting in Boston Pro-
fessor EMERSON mot RALPH WALDO ARAMN
has something to say OF that which he had
seen of teachings in Europe during his
travels:
He spoke of what he saw in Dresden. He
spoke of teaching the alphabet-of its usually
being regarded as a drudgery which he
called sad mistake. He cited an example
of forty boys, seven years old coming to
learn their alphabet. 1t was taught by a man
competent for College President. He COM
menced by drawing fish on the blackboard,
and inquiring of the boys, what is tLat?''
One answer was "a fish :" another, s.It is the
picture of a fish, and another, alt is the
drawing of fish" Right said the teacher.
to the last. They were then required to
make nice sentence about the fish. This
being done. he then placed before them the
letters that make the word. They were then re-
CURED to put the letters together so as to
spell the word. This was done; also the
making of the letters on their states forming.
the word. They were next required to draw
the picture of the fish. This was the method
of teaching the alphabet, by no norice, but
by a most learned German scholar. This
method of thOrOughness was everywhere
practiced in teaching little at a time, and
constant repetition. THE effect of this
method" said he, ''was surprising" How
unlike is this method to that pursued in our
primary schools. The teachers use no books
in teaching. Consequently their minds were
wholly on the matter of teaching-watching
the effect of their teaching upon the children
When their interest tired, their attention was
directed to new subject, and thus the hap
piest results are produced.
