FROM

FIRST thought States Rights Advocate
would do, but 1 imagined | heard one say,
Its only another name for secession, dis
union, &c." and as l started out with the
honest intention TO please all. and offend
none, l concluded here was one [ could not
please il l adopted that name, SO I de-
clined that for 4 name.
next thought | would call it ..Republi-
cam but there is i class of individuals in
speaking of that name Would always have the
word ''biack" before the ..Republican;" sol
did not relish that. anu let that name slide.
Next that presented Itself. a, appropriate.
was "Con>ersator." but hadn't more than
just Thought of that name than | heard these
prophetic words: Its nothing but ! rebel
sheet" l let that name 20.
l thought then OF ..Democrat." and had
about settled on that name. when the tho't
occurred to me that that sounded too much
like letting the people have their rights 4,
in Times past, To suit the party IN power, so.
with much reluctance, | gave up that name.
The neXt name I took VI with was 'Iie-
con,tructionist;'' but again / had hardly
spoken the word aloud to hear now it would
sound than echo answered, "Coppcrhead,
Sylnpaihi>er, &c."
Tile next appropriate name to my minds
eye was Union" and | tell o., Mcssrs.
Editors. | studied that name 4 long time.
and had not the thought occurred I" me.
.'iave we Il Union:" | verify believe. to this
day. l would have headed my paper with
that name.
The nr<t t'pr,f.,irt.It II ,npe - Inni.aJ
very pretty. indeed. hut in that | met with
the same difficulty. rs in the last mentioned.
] concluded then to change character Of
names. and adopt ..liome Journal fire
side Companiom.' Family VISITOR" or
something "t that kind; but here WAS MIR.
Politician, Mr.. COtmn:crcialman. Mr.. Banker.
&c.. all saying. liz will do very well for
women and chiiIren,' and | we'll knew then
my fate. rs far as two hundred Thousand
subscribers. or that name. wa, scaled. l
next concluded to make it 4 religious paper,
for | had heard it said that some religious
newspaper, away down youier in the great
city OF New York. had over three hundred
thousand paying subscribers.
Now | found less difficulty in choosing 4
name. but = sill greater IN deciding what
particular religious persuasion or doctrine
to advocate. Must my newspaper advocate
falling FROM grace" That Won't do. Well,
shall it >ly .onre in grace Away, inE" No.
that will not do either. for >"lnc will say.
that i not a Bible doctrine" How will
what i to be will be- do Right oil |
heard SOnc one yell out unjust" "incon-
>i>icnt." 10 'o,ey the commandments and
lie immersed" how would that do:
.'I'sllaw." SAYS one. That's not III the Bible
How would infant baptism do. then: says
one THAT looks too much like mockcry," 81
| let that slide. together with all thoughts OF
a religious name. In irving to decide upon
a religions no.ne and doctrine for my news
paper. | discovered one very rcmarkabl,
thing and ut which ! WAS mulch aSt"ni>hcd
and which Isl mystery TO me TO this day
that is the above objections to the different
doctrines did not come fr0m the world. bu'
were most Violently assaulted by profc>se,
christians helungiug tn the different religious
whom | thought should worl
in harmony and ligl,. in one grand arm!
against the wicked one. and l>>i>t each Othci
