Mr.. Editor" Example before precept' IS old
and approved maxim. Permit me therefore to urge
the necessity of Parents and Masters setting good
amples before their Children and Apprentices. Among
the many hnpropTicties to which youth are addicted
that OF proane swearing takes prominent rank, many
do not get through with single sentence without Its
being accompanied with al oath which is to be ex-
remey regretted But il cannot be SO much wondered
az when parents and masters every day setting
the example in defiance of both the laws OF God
and Man and Magistrates, the very persons who
are the chosen guardians OF the laws IL has become
50 fashionable OF rather common practice that if
you check many of thcm they will not only speak as
much worse possible, but promi to do SO 10 more
and accompany 1t with oath in rihcue OF the advice
you give them; Others little more candid, will say
they cannot help il and speak unawareS and will en-
deavour TO do so more but alas how soon they
break their wor-perhaps the sentence they speak
will be accompanied with OATH Still cannot be-
leve that human nature is frai not to be able TO
withstand this pernicious practice IN degree for
know some who formerly addicted 10 il, who by
forming determination, have entirely left il ofand if
parents and masters IN general would take the same
resolution and dsCounenance It in those under their

children and apprentices but prevent the ENGLISH Lam
guage from being SO barbarously used communicate
their ideas each other in less words and thereby
gain time for more interesting conversation. Unless
they do pursue TINS they with any pro-
priety chastse those under their care or if they do
attempt il, they told, they set the example.
