PRoFAYE LANGuAGE.-A cores
pondcnt of the ". Y. Courier 4 En-,
quirer, writing from Boston, complains
Of the annoyance Of the kind of profanc
language he hears. Tho profanity of
that region strikes him as particularly
mean and dcsricable, as well as bias
phemous. lie speaks, he says, " of
well dressed swearers, as well as of
ostlcrs." There is something partic.
ularly rcpulsivc in their way of COM
mitting the sin, beyond what he meets
with elsewhere. But he adds few
sentences of general application,-
thus:
"Let us hope that the swearing
most common in Yankee Land, is only
a bad-an o'ctuliy bad-habit, and not
an index Of the general character
There is large class-a class which.
if not the majority, is yet the one which
rules, and which holds and includes
the most of what is desired in llfe-of
those who strongly disapprove Of the
practice. a great many families, and
not too religious either, and young
gentlemen who love to hurry into the
habits of men may do well to think of
it, will not accept the acquaintance of
those whose language is like a garden
that needs wedding.
" And anywhere, in Boston or New
York, let young man fall iuto the
vulgar and mean style-let any young
American adopt the low profanity, he
will hear most of-the drawing 4" Bal"
-, or no matter how he pronounces-
let him follow the fashion Of swearing
by him upon whom was laid the in
iquities Of US all-and he may depend
upon it, his place among men is fixed,
at least anywhere in the Christian
world. An invisible circle will form
around him which he cannot pass nor
can any success help him out ofit.-
The best associations Of life he can by
no means aspire to; there is a mark
upon his tongue. lie is like an instru-
ment with defect in its tone. Placed
along with others he may appear well
enough, but the monen. he sounds,
the good violins start and say, what is
