"lie 1'efo1'med System of Musical
Notation.
Our readers will find it highly interes-
ting to know that our friend. Prof. Von
lslecringen has requested the Board of
School Controllers of Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New York and Boston, Cin-
cinai.i,_and St. Louis, to examine and in-
troduce his new and improved Musical
Nolatioii , the very thingwhich the inn-
sical world has anxiously sought for
since 1796.
This Iieautiful invention whicl: clears
music from all rubbish, blunder and ano-
malies has been acknowledged by the
highest authorities on both sides of the
Atlantic. is an American invention and
will eliiirely overturn the old system ill
less than 10 years. It is the charming
butterfly for the Piano. The musical
revolution has commenced, the new
system gains every- day more ground,
and as soon as the above authorities ha vs
examined it impartially they will certain-
ly introduce it in a manner worthy of our
_Amel-iczm liberty, and principles.
Tliree years ago the inventor offered
his sfystelll to New York where Rev.
Dr. S, i'in_=__: and Dr. Hodges advocated
its cluiins. Messrs. Timm and Lodcr,
. fcinril.-.12, Bcclif, VVoodbury, &c., spoke
in the liigliest terms of the Notation,
Elllllt had iis opponents as everything
gooll has. The musical Editord the
Sunday Dispatch condemned it and
challenged its inventor, who in two pub-
lic C.‘oiicerls, one in the Metropolitan
llall, the other in the Tabernacle proved
the correciliess and practicability of the
sy.<..lem to the complete , defeat of the
, I.'Ii'.:'.ol'.

On the C0l'lll‘8.l‘y there arose an increased

Music publishei-s, who, in order to gel
].’.'o‘l'. Von Ileeringcn away from New
York declared they would adopt his sys-

The Academy of Arts wasanxious to
see an Institute establislied, so that they
could see whether the system would be

One of Miiiisler Raumers Counsels
exclaimed: “ A ha I the s_rent1einun are

Prof. V. H. soon raised :1 great many
friends among other influential professors

took, they were unable to convince the

would give to no one a decided answer.
Von ll. accordingly (lCI.el‘lllllle(l to sue-
ceed either one way or the other, con-
,cluded to follow Mr. Taubert’s 'advice,
which was to commence war with the
musicians.
He then made up his mind to bring
the whole musical world of Europe to
terms in one battle and decide the ques-
tion whether Europe would acknowl-
edge the system or show that it. was, at
least. no better than the old_. He was
under the impression that if he could
prove the many defects of the old system
found by him to be true, and if the mu-
sicians could not bring anything matcri-‘
ally against. his notation, no differ-
ence whether they would aclvnoxvleklge
it or no, the public would then take hold
of it and the system must of. neces-
sity succed. But in the contrary if the

The Challenge.
BERLIN, December 2, 18-51.
\V.e by the grace of God representa-
tive of the students of music inform the
friends of that art, that we have laid a
new musical notation much simpler and
mole coi'i'ect_ than the present one, be-
fore, the musical section of the royal
Academy of Arts, the musical society of
music director Dow and Professor Marx
for examination and introduction. Not-
witlistallding we had taken much pains
to persuade said autliorities to give a
friendly opinion, and not to present any
opposition, the new system -was most
violently attached and
Dorn’s ("l‘onkunstler Verein_) at once
pronounced it iriipraclicuble. Mr. Tau-
berl: like Dom, :1 member of the royal
Academy, called it a mere chimera; and
professor Marx had very lately picked
up again the idea which he has opposed
since 1815!! namely that C sharp and
D flat were not one and the same tone.
Now as we are by no means willing to
be satisfiecl with such an unexpected
treatment, as we can see unfortl_u1at.eI-y
no other remedy butthe one -recoinmen-
ded by the illustrious Royal music Di-
rector, l\“Ir. Taubcrt. ,
So we do challenge herewith in order
to settle the whole matter at once.

of Europe, but particularly,

Paris, Leipzig,’ Prague, \Veimar, and
Cologne, 1 .
2nd. The musical section of the Roy-

tlth. Mr. Dorn’s music, (verein,) to
aitend either in person or properly rcp-
resenited, 11 Concert on the 14th of this
month in the English house, to defend
the old musical notation, if possible.
\Ve shall try to prove in this Concert
that,Lhe old theory of music is so miser-
ably false, complicated and perplexing
that not a single one of all the professors
of music is able to give the proper name
for one single interval, and if weshould
succeed in doing so, we expect from the
musicians that they will abandon the old
system and introduce the new. But if
we should fail in doing so we will no-
knowledge our error and apologise.
His iiiajeslyflle King, with the whole
court, has been invited to attend the
Concert. '
VVe invite also the Colonels of all the
royal rcgir'nems to be present, and we
military
exercises on that day, so that the Direc-
tors of the J3-uiuls may also be able to
attend. * _
VVe also request ‘the Directors of the
Royal University. not to permit any lec-
tures on that day, so that the students
may be able to attend.
Finally we request Profs. Marx, Mr.
Music Director 'l‘auberr., and Dom not to

Last. Sunday fofenoou Mr. von Hear-
ingen lectured in the English house on
the new ‘notation invented by him,
which principally" is distinguished by its
being formed after the Piano Keyboard.
I-Ie reduces the sounds to twelve and rep-
resents ‘those that are produced by white
keys, by white notes,iaud those. that are
produced by black keys, by black notes.
The white notes are hollow. mere rings,
the black notes are filled out. His chro-
matic scale from C to C roads as follows,
C, C sharp D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp,
G. G sharp,A, A sharp and B. He gives
these notes other names so that the differ-
ence between raising and lowering notes
by sharps and flats are dispensed with.
For the Piano this notation is certainly
much easier since all transposition cesses.
and the scales can nearly all be perform-
ed with equal facility. Nay oven the
fingering is made easier and follows by
itself, because when the performer has
the black notes before his eyes he will
naturally bring the proper linger on the
key.
But the question arises notwithstand-
ing this simplification whether all music
on band should be printed over again.
For other instruments the new notes
are not so advantageous; Still they may
be used.
The invention deserves. credit for the
great siniplification in the mechanical
part; while reading the notes, in piano
performance. Whether it can be intro
duced is another thing.
The inventor deserves credit for the
simple but sensible thought (the egg of
Columbus) and also for the energy with
which he labors to establish his inven-
tion. Going too far however. will only
be injurious to him and his system. I

queucc of the mortifying defeat in the Con-

Prof. Von Heeringen‘ of ‘the United
States, now in Halle visited Weimsr on
the 16th to make us acquainted with a
notation invented by him after many
years labor, which is both simple and
easyand based upon natural laws and
principles. As far as we at present have
investigated the matter, we must believe
the notation to be very useful since it.
renders the teaching of. vocal music
much easier. One of the main princi-
ples of this method is as follows ; write
as you perform. One will strike for C
sharp, the same key as for D flat. and
therefore write then only C sharp in all
cases. The chromatic signature is alto-
gether dispensed with- The so called
whole zones, which term Mr. Von Heel‘-
ingen entirely-condemns, are represented
by rings or while notes, which are small
and round for tlic.ql1art€r and eighI.s,&c.
and oval and large for the whole and
half,notes. The so called half tones
semi-tones, sharps and flats 01' Black
keys are represented by the‘ same shap-
ed uotes, but black. In Older 10 estab-
lish one musical language 011')’. he has
called the tones D00. D86. Ray. Ree.
&c., instead of C. C Sllfiflh D. D Sharp,
km, D flat or C double sharp find no
place in his system. We in general use
the syllable La in singing the scales.
This practice Mr. Von Heeringeu also
considers wrong as the sound La will
thereby become predorninaut while the-
oiher vowels are neglected. Mr. Van
Ilecringeu represents the power Of
sound by numerals, and distinguishes
17 degrees. For the primary schools 1.

the nature of zones consists only in their

chords are established. The fourth

‘The Over Paid Check ,
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
Conclzulecl.
For days and weeks little else but the
thought of Gardiner’s dismissal from‘the
bank was in the mind of VVheeler. Most
sincerely did he repent of what he had
done, and with repentance. came the wish
to make restitution. Vi/hile in this state
of mind, Gardiner came into the store to
see his employer and lay before him an
offer to go into business which he_had
received. In order to form the connec-
tion, he must have a capital of five hun-
dred dollnrs ; but he had not aucent, was
outzof employment, and his family depend
for their daily bread upon the ‘bounty ofa
relative. .
“The offer is a good one,” said the
merchant. “But can you furnish the
capital?" _ ‘
" No,”'\vas l.'Cj_'»'.ir-‘(l,, “that is the diffi-
culty.” . _ -_
“ How do you think of obtaining it?”
“1 know of no resource; unless those
who do not think me really dishonest at
heart, and who pity my misfortunes, help
me. Can 1 depeiid upon you for any
aid ?” '
“I am afraid not,” replied the iuerchant
“I have need of every dollar it is possible
for me to command.” '
‘ Gardiner went away looking sad and
hopeless. "\Vheeler did not hear what
he had said, but he was painfully affect-
ed by the expression of his countenance.
“Poor fellow said the merchant, after
Gardiner had retired———“I pity him. but I
can’t risk my money on one who has
were under strong teinplalion. He has
a capital offer to go into business, he
had only five lipliclrecl dollars to Invest,
but he will find it difficult to raise that
sum; at least from people who know
any thing of his short comings\vhile in the
bank.”
Wheeler heard this, but _said nothing,
He was naturally fond of money, and ar-
dently desired to accumulale'property.—
He made it a rule never to spend over
half of his salary, and, in consequence,
always had money laid up in bank, in-
vested in goocfistocks, or accumulating
by means of such business operations as
he could enter into without.’ interfering
with his regular duties as a clerk. His
ultimate intentions was to commence bu-
siness himself, as soon as he had saved
about five thousand dollars, unless a good
in some well established
‘house _ofl"ered before that time. Towards
this object, he had already accumulated
nearly two thousand dollars. Although
he had lost, in an unsuccessful adventure
the five hundred dollars obtained through
the tel|er’s error, yet the thought. of res-
titution came into his mind. ‘ He felt
that Gardiner’s misfortune lay at his door-
That he had injured him beyond all hope
of full reparation. But his strong love
of money, and ardent desire to accumu-
late a sufficient sum of money to justify
him in commencing business for himself,
arose in opposition to the honest and gen-
erous impulse. Then came a \varm de-
bate in his mind between selfishness and
just principles, which went. on for sever-
al days, during which time he was much
disturbed. To restore the five hundred
dollars, was to put off for at least a year
beyond the time when he expected to
get into business, the period he so anx-
iously wished to‘ arrive; and his heart.
sunk at the thought. Tllell Came the
question whether the money, it’ resto1‘ed,
should go to Gardiner or the bank ! This
was soon settled, however, 01] the side of
the former, against whom the wrong had
been done, and who had been so great a
sufferer in consequence. . I
It was nearly two weeks before the
mind of W'heelcr came to a full decision.
It. was in favor of justice. After deci-
ding he acted quickly. Five liundred
dollars worth of stock was sold, and the
money sent to Gardener in a letter, to
which, of course, there was no signature
He then felt. more comfortable in mind‘;
ed with the pending offer, and came into
a business that while it gave him a com-
fortable living for the present, promised
well for the future. .=
A few months after this his old em-
ployers were waited upon by tile uter-
chant whom he was serving as a clerk.
"I wish,” said the latter, “to ask you
one or two questions about \.Vheeler. I
have thought for somctiine, of offering
him ar. interest in my business. But be-
fore doing so it seemed but right that I
should see you and ask the reason why
you did not retain him in your employ-
mcut?. ft. could not have been for want
of ability or attention to busines.”
"No. Few young men have his ca-
pacity,” was replied. '
"“Then you had a reason for dispensing
with his services beyond this T”
-‘We certainly h_ad.”' ‘
“Mayl be permitted t-_)_inq,uire what
it was '3"
“Yes. And_ under the circumstances»
we cannot withhold a candid answer.-—
You know that Gardiner, the teller In
-the Bank, lost his place for abstrac-
Iting five hundred dollars to make S00‘!
In ‘
his own loss in consequence of hav-
ing overpaid that sum on a check.”
-“Yes. And I have pitted him very
much. ' His was rattler a hard case.-.-:
The scoundrel who took advantageffif
-his mistake, if known, should meet with
the execration of all honest men.”
“We are sorry to say that Wheeler
was the man who drew the check.”. .- ’
"Wheeler.-W ..
“Yes. On a check of three hundred
dollars received for his quarier’s salary, -
Gardiner paid him by mistake, eight hun-
dred, and he kept the money.” ' A
“And for this you discharged himfrom
your house.” , . -.
.“Yes; as soon as we were apprised
of the fact, which was nearly a year ‘af-
ter it occurred.” » --
“Did you tell him the reason 9’ ,
“No. VVe didu’t care to do that.”
“He’s not an honest man,” said the
merchant, on learqing this; “and of
course, not worthy of confidence.’ So
far from connecting myself with hirnin
business, I shall hardlydeem it prudent
to retain him about me, even in his pres-
ent capacity.” ,_ ' .
And on this’ view he acted. From
that time, VVheeler’s situation was ten-
dered so unpleasant that in the courseof
a few months, he gave it up and sought
another place. a , '
Again he had felt the re-action-of his
error, without , comprehending from
whence the effect proceedeed. He did
not know how much he had lost in seek-
ing to gain five hundred dollars dishon-
estly. ’ * - i
Tenderly attached had W'heeler’: been,
for two or three years toa beautiful and
affectionate young‘ lady, whose connec-
tions embracedmany families of wealth
and influence. Her name was Adeline
Burton. As her uncle, with" whom she
resided, was a man of some property; and
she was living in a style of more ‘ele-
gance than Wheeler could support, he
had delayed urging a marriage until »'he
could get into business. But he ' saw
one young man after another, by far less
capable and experienced than himself,
selectd by men of capital as partners, or
introduced into firms to which they had
formerly held a. clcrk’s relatiou,. While he
was passed by most unaccountably. A
feeling of discouragement came over him.

VVhile liesilating whether to ask his
betrothed, for such was the relation Ade-
line bore to him, to name an early day
for their inafriage, he observed a sudden
change in her manner towards him.---
VVhilc pondering this strange _circu_m-
stance, he was astonded by the receipt of
all his letters and little souvenirs, and a
cold request to have l1er’srell1rned. In-
dignaut at such faithlessness, he. sent
back what she desired without 21 word of
reply either verbator written. But the
circumstance seemed to stun hEm.; .He
had loved Adeline with a mostearnest
aflcciiou; and in all his ‘dreams of.‘his
future life, her image lfad been beautiful-
ly blended. The blow was a heavy one
and saddened his lieart for life. Soon af-
ter he left the East. and removed to a.
\Vestern city. \
Ten years had elapsed, and then
Wheeler came back for the first time
since he had gone away. On the little
sum he had saved fromhis earnings, he
had commenced a small business in a far
offxvestern town. Gradually this grew
into importance, and now it became nec-
essary to visit the East in order to pur-
chase a stock of goods. Hitherto he had
supplied himself in Cincinnati or Pitts-
burg.. In the old place he found every-
tliilig CllE1l1g_8 I. Scarcely a ‘familiar
countenance met’ him as he walked’ the
streets, and in the business portions of
the city, only here and there did he ob-
serve the “signs” of other times. Gar-
diner, the once unfortunate bank teller,
had become a prosperous merchant,-and
was considered to be worth fifty or sixty
thousand dollars. This fact he learned
-with pleasure. ' '
W'heeler did not ask for Adeline.-jg He
could not trust himself to speak of her to
any one; for not yet had her beautiful
image faded from his memory. Once
truly beloved ‘and never proved unwor-
thy of his heart’-s best. affections, he had
not been able to forget her. Yet, having
been rejected without a reason, he had
never felt inclined to ask for one, nor to
seek arenewal of the old relations. For
all he had learned to the contrary slze had
become, years before, the bride of anoth-
1'.
After remaining :1 few days in the city
and making some purchases, he prepared
to leave for the ‘Vest. On the day pre-
vious to his intended departure, while
passing along the streets, he came sud-
denly upon Adeline .Bui:ton, The lady
started, paused slightly, and then‘went
hurriedly on. Her face was thin andwore

ritioil. He did not leave the city on the
next day, as he had intended. It was
impossible for him to go now, until he
had obtained an iutervie\v with Adeline,
who had not as he had "learned, given
her vows to another. After lying awake
nearly all night, thinking over the course
best to pursue, he finally determined to
see her uncle, and plainly-ask the reason
wily Adeline had, years before, broken
the engagement. into which she had en-
tered. Upon this resolution be acted.——
The "Uncle received him with chilling
formality, But, not repulsed by this,
Wheeler came at once to the objectof
his visit.
“Ten years ago, sir,” said he, calmly,
“your niece, to whom I was engaged in
marriage, broke her contract with me,
and without assigning any reason. I
asked none, and to this da.yhave.remain-
ed ignorant of her motives. Buff. I now
feel a wish to know them. “fill you do
me the justice to give me the information

“Certainly,” replied the Uncle, “if you
desire to learn what influenced Adeline,
I see no reason why you should not be
gratified.”
-‘Speak, then, I am prepared to hear._"
“You remember Gardiner, the teller in
the bankgl” said the Uncle.

face of Wheeler, and his eyes remained
