WHY SHOULD ANY ONE SWEAR:

can conceive no reason why he should,
but ten reasons why he should not.
l. II is mean. A man OF high moral
standing would almost as soou steal sheep
as swear.
2. |, is vulgar altogether too low for
decent man.
3. 1t is cowardly implying a fear either
OF not being believed OF obryed.
II is ungen,lemauly. gentlemen ac-
cording TO Webster, is genieei man, we'll
bred, refined Such a one will no more
swear than go into the street 10 throw mud
with a ioafer.
5. |, is indecent offensive TO deli.
cacy, and extremely unfit for human ears.
1t is foolish "Want Of deceucy is
wan: of sense "
!. 1t is abusive-io the mind which con.
ceives the oath, TO the tongue which u,,ers
it and 10 the persons to whom il is aimed.
8. II is venomous showing mans heart
10 be a nest of vipers, aud evesy time he
swears, one Of them sticks out hi. head
1t is mptblr-forfeiiing the respec,
Of all the wise and good.
10. II is wicked violating the law and
provoking the dispeasurs Of HIM who
will not hold him euiltess who takes his
name in vain.
