WHATS IN A NAME
We PROFOUND this unique and entirely newell query
"a IN sood fAith, and without design OF Wrestling
ouotatoo 70 any undue application. We DO Il with
ont n.emeditation and with no Interior motive in
contemplation, We DO mot start ont into deliber-
atev intended and malice prepense essay, forcing
ne quotation into service q text. We probably
shouid MOT have dispassionately inquired what's in
name in this mornings paper, II destiny--o shall
- ~ achance' and please the antipredestinari
ans ?-if destiny or chance had not sent along q
copy Of tarof country paper containing the fol
lowing " beautiful extract" Ian editorial notice
Wa are requested to state that the Rev. Ma
p0leon Bonaparte Potts will preach in the court
house next Lords Day. 18th instant, at o'clock in
the afternoon on which occasion be will endeavor 70
show that the Antediluvians were acquainted with
the doctrine Of future punishment, which the Uni
versalists say cannot be shown, etc.
There! We think that settles the question which
has stimulated much learned research ever since the
night when tie gentle Juliet Capnlet paintively in
qaired Of the moon What's in name 7" illustrating
and enforcing her belief that there nothing In
name BY the graceful floral argument, by any
other name would smell as sweet "-odotously orna'
mented logic, which tngled the ears and kindled to
blaze the fire under the left ribs Of the hidden
Romeo Montague. It Il needless to say that we are
Of the tender Juliets faith and allow that all there
is in name are the letters which develop its ortho'
graphical entity. We always were Of this opinion
abstracty and though the weakness of the flesh has
often made us Involuntary scorn the proprietors
Of various too common and ineuphonious noaen-
clatiye substantives, which We will not quote for
fear Of treeng on some Of our subscribers toes who
may BE- very clever fellows notwithstanding their
uanes-we say that though always liable to the
spontaneous and human feeling Of contempt for those
bearing certain names which in the vocabulary Of
pattonymic designations, We were always able to
cooy argue our minds free Of the prejudice in the
particular instance under consideration--to uprise
again in the very next similar case, though we must
confess.
Our extract Of notice to the effect that the emf
nent rural theological controversialist, Rev. Ma
poeon Bonaparte Potts, would, on the 18th instant

N. B. P's would have been the death Of him ere this
