DON'T SWEAR Profanity is one Of the most
offensive and disgusting habits to which unre-

low-bred habit, from the indulgence of which
proper self respect should restrain man, even
if he has no regard for the dictates OF religion.
1t is habit too, which increases with fearful
rapidly when once given way TO; and we have
known instances where men who were once
highly respected, but who unfortunately con-
tracted this habit, have sunk so low as to use

even to swear at their wives and children
