Dear Mits .- I most candidly acknowledge thai j our letter has greutly disappointed me. I thought that your superior intelligence had risen above those antique and musty opinions, who.se proper period wns the middle ages and their proper locality in Spain. I have now and then observed anions Catholics, educated like yourself, a strange fashion of ascending above the rraliti«s of life on the airy pin. ions of what you call faith. Dul such iheorle.s do not advance a professional man, do not roof n Iiousp, or supply the necessities, much loss thu elegancies, of a home. 1 thought on this account you would readily enter into my views, but you refuse to do vo. Well, t will abandon my request. 1 am loo much devt t d to allow a difference like this, serious ami most important as it is, to weaken the love which unites our hearts. You ladie*, and you are thu Very first finlsngst tliem aft, dear , contrive occasionally to introduce such exalttd notions into your beautiful heads, that to remove them woufd be as easy as to attempt to chain tliq zephyrs, or to rob '.he violet of its perfume. We 1 then, in conclusion I must inform you that 1 have read your letter to the family. It would, be improper to (fccoive you on (he subject of nty , parents' opinions.— 'lfieir'AitcchWriil to (he PfrDbytcrian faith is great ; and the idea of union with a CiithoUe, even you, whom tfrey knov to well, and' highly respect,, darkens tbeir countenances, and distresses me very much —they have, however, renewed their con. *C'ut, but they require u.i to be married by a Pi j*bvtC* ian clergymen.

Tf ooa, I do not like uncotunnon word* In cniniuon conversation, And do not think a grcut display A proof of education. Here ended the question with our simple minded Dutchman, and here it ends with 1 mast men, who never a*k why namas should be Buffered to lord it oyer tilings.— But philosophy, which Is always permitted to step in when utility steps out, has t» iontjer inquisition in the case. To commence methodically :—mimes are of two kinds, common and proper— yet nothing is now more common than proper names are; arid, indeed, nothing more proper than common names. A nmn's own name is his proper name, in spito ot unfitness and incongruity. To appropriate the name of another, as at the bottom ot a note ol hand, is, however, not proper—but alas ? too common. In the " brave days of old," all men were anonymous. It was no unmeaning phrase that, of "fighting to nin themselves a name," (or tlioy verily had none; which had tliis advantage that no envious slanderer could rob them ol one, good or ill. This was before academies for writing were opened, or a Cadmus had taken out letters ptfteril for his invention ot lfetters. Billets, it is true, had been sent before, but they tvere billets of wood, addressed rather to the head than the understanding. Cain is supposed to be the originator of this kind of epistolary correspondence. Forging was of course impossible. By a singular coincidence, this was firs (heard of in the days of Tubal Cain, whose impude.nce in that respect caused a particular mention of his "brass and the sad consequent) is riot omitted, that lie was the'• first who worked fn irons"—very suggestive of the fate ot forgers at this day- You may suppose that Adam, or the first man, bore a proper name, though a little stained—with apple juice. But this is from a misapprehension of the customs of the lime, fj has become so well "known as to be a proverbial phrase, that every hu. man, at his debut in this world, is a '-little red baby it i« a birth mark from Adam, who was made of red cl..y, from the disintegrated red sand stone, with which the earth was underpinned. For this reason he was called A dim, that is, "Redev,"— just as naughty boys say darkey, to people of a deeper sfiade. This was enough to (fNtirrguKh him in that early age, when the family was small. When people began to multiply—tvficV Daboll says is "a more rapid way of doing addition"—it became obvious that they must have a more convenient, not to say a more polite way ol distinguishing people in the second person, than to run tugying at their coat tails, and crying rtut "you !— you !" or life not leys indelicate fashion of |Dointitig to those in the third person; or in their absence, ot yoing through the labori| ous circumlocution of a circumstantial description. Hecce, at a very early period men begun to lay hold of any remarkable feature, even if it were the wry no.-De of a man, and with equal facility if it happened to be enormously large, or astonishingly small—a hatchet; or a turn up-; thereby to hang a name, which should ha his biogra phy, portrait, caricature, or genralogy,— condensed to the' verv marrow and gristle. Afnorig men's faces, if among their opinions; were all variety of shades, and White, Black, Brown, Grey, Dunn and even Oreen—"to that complexion had it come at lust'*—were all fastened on the posterity of their first pos-essors, as indelibly as though they had all sat down to as rna'h'y different point pots. Yet hereditary nomenclature u cDtipara*ively modern,— When men had nothing else to give their children, they were too generous to give them the paternal name ; it was enough then, it the lather bequeathed his vices to tiis son, without the legacy of the lal name they had earned. And the sons, to do them justice, generally did amp'e credit to the implied faith in their ability to earn their own reputation in that direction. When all the natural peculiarities were exhausted, lo name people by, and " still they came"—:heD accidents, the incidents, their exploits, and their blunders, "the lay of the lajid and tli,8 looks of the people," were pressed into the service; and Billy Bowlegs bowed and scraped to Mr. Packpenny, and Mr. lent his as8ihiutice to his neighbor Cohhouse, and Mr •Craven biqueathod his name to a race of heroes, and his nature to some great uncle of Col.'
