MAANERs.--I make it a point Of mo
rality never TO find fault with another
for his manners. They may be awk
ward or graceful. blunt or polite, polish
ed or rustic, care not what they are, if
the man means we'll and acts from hon
est intentions without eccentricity or af-
fectation. All men have not the advan-
tage OF good society, as it is called, to
school them in all its fantastic rules and
ceremonies and If there is any stand
ard OF manners, is founded in reason
and good sense, aud not upon those arti
fetal regulations. Manners, like con-
versation, should he cxtemroraneous,
and not studied. | always suspect a
man who meets me with the same per-
petua smile on his face, the same con.
geeing of the body, and the same pre-
meditated shake OF the hand Give me
the hearty-it may be rough-grip OF
the band-the careless nod Of recogni-
and when occasion requires, the home
ly but welcome salutation, "How are you
my friend !"

Respectfully yours,
JOHN w. B. THOMPSON.

General Washington on SUearing.-
fhe most expressive sign of low bred
man is habit of swearing. Indepen-
dent OF the sin, it is in the verv worst
taste, and indicates the fellowship Of bad
company. In no country in the world
is this vice SO prevalent as our own, and
although the mode Of swearing may be
extremely picturesque, yet the quaintDess
will not excuse the profanity. Aud ha-
bitua!swearing is an intolerable nuisance,
and we recommend these who are infect
ed by this shocking and vicious enormi-
ty to weigh well the order which Gen.
Washington issued 70 his army in view
OF { hecking the habit at its commences
me Mt. Every thing which is brought to
light, day by day, with respect to the fa-
Their Of his country, shows the purity and
uprightness of his SOUL and from his
writings text book might be formed
whereby to regulate the manner of the
gentleman, as well as teach his duty as d
patriot.-N' I. Trans.
AUGUST ID, 1776.
The General Is sorry 10 be informed
that the foolish aud wicked practice of
swearing, a vice hitherto little known in
an American army, is growing into fash
ion: he hopes the officers will, by exam
pie as well as Influence, endeavor to
check it, and that they and the men will
reflect that we can have little hope Of the
blessings Of Heaven upon our arms il we
insult it by our impiety and folly added
to this, it is vice so mean and low, and
without temptation, that every man oil
sense and character detests and despi-
SEES it.
