Pr9fan'fy.-We know of no vice which needs
more thorough reformation than the low and
vulgar practice of profane swearing. No one
who walks the streets of our city, in the evening
especially. can fail to perceive the prevalence of
this most absurd and a5omnably wicked prac-
tice. 1t appears to be on the increase. Our
schools and institutions for moral and religious
instruction would seem to have done little to-
wards the Suppression of a habit the extent of
s which argues laxity of morals which does no
: great credit to us people.
1t is absolutely shocking to listen to the oatIls
and curses uttered by boys and young men in the
streets. 1t would that they labored under
the mistaken idea that it looks manly-that it
adds to their ephemeral importance, and that if
they can place themselves behind a segar, and
blasPheme their maker with IMMUNITY, they are
ucfing Ike men. In many instances this is true
they are acting like men, If they may be so cal
led, who so far forget their duty to society and
their accountability to heaven, as 10 be guilty of
SO mean, low and vulgara practice. 1t is crime
which no gentleman will commit.
fe who are in the habit Of wantonly making
idle use OF the name Of your Creator, refect-i,
Is setting at naught of His commandments;
or, II you are not swayed by the fear Of offend
ing Him, who with breath can sweep you
from existence, and place your naked soul before
Ills tribunal, there to be judged according to your
deserts-ii neither fear, love- reverence, graft
tude to yonr Maker. can restrain your idle and
basphemous tongue. ptrhaps the decencies and
propHetIes OF life, a sense Of the duty, the obl-
cations you are under, as member of tile COM
munity--a desire to be esteemed man among
men--a gentlemln--an honorable MAINLAND the
lear OF violating those rules which govern them
as sucb-may have some influence. Real gem
tih,y consists in aproper regard for the usages
ana customs prevalent in the sphere of life in
whioh we move, and may be embraced in the
words' glove thy neighbo. as myself" Now,
mh'ess man consort with such only as are in
ing the Almighty, he cannot be guilty of its use
without offending against those rules which gov
ern our intercourse with each other; conseqnent-
~ every time he is guilty of profanity, he is in
danger of committing a breach of good manners.
and cannot be esteemed a genteman-for every
genteel man repudiates profanity.
This will and should create Distinction
Let the blasphemer consort with his kind, and ut
ter his curses and imprecatons to accustomed
ears--but let him not, with impunity and with
out rebuke, commit so glaring an outrage against
decency and propriety, and against The plain com
). mand of the most High Amer. Sent.
