ter; but the initials of her first two names
are there, and when her womans curios-
lty impels her to open it, behold the whole
theme is concerning the Territorial Pen
ltentlary! Partly to avoid recurrence
ofsucha dilemma, but chiefly from choice,
this fair ore has since changed her name.
But when duplicate business as well as
duplicate names are fastened on the same
individuals, and they are of those on
whom, on account of their sex, marriage
effects no change as far as names are con-
cerned--then often, and almost only then,
and that unwittingly, is fulfilled the in
junction OF doing for another what you
would have him do for you. We know
of no other radical remedy than the one
found in he,,Massachusctts statute, which
makes provision for gentlemen in such a
predlcament, as well as in other cases; sd
that al the close Of almost every session
ofthe Legislature, batch OF from fifty to
a hundred individuals have secured a
change in their names, by la#. We were
drawn into penning this article by con-
telnplating the effect which might be pro-
duced at distance by the perusal Of the
advertising cards Of the Messrs STARR.
These gentlemen have both the same pro-
fession; the name of each is William
Henry Starr, and the only way in which
their names can be distinguished is as set
forth in the advertisements. The way in
which their persons arc. sometimes iden-
tiled here is, that the one with black
hair and black-eyes is called the New
York Starr, and the one with blue eyes
and light hair is called the Vermont Starr.
The Vermont Starr is w. Henry, and
the New York Starr is William I'll. We
hope that this very particular account may
not only enlighten The public, but be BEN
aiicial to those two friends whose names
have been so oftea mentioned in the latter
part of this fancy article.
