A few Sabbaths since. we remember 10
have heard, at the c. P. Church in our
town. a most excellent ermmon by DR..
tBaird. the principal force Of which was
directed against the ugly habi. of using
p~rofane language. Before the remem'
sbrance Of that appropriate and excellent
sermon dies away. we have ii revivifed
by reading the following stray scrap which
we get from a newspaper exchange;
PRoFASIrY.--In the use OF pvo(ane
words no idea is to be expressed, no OBJ
iect 10 be attained, no end secured, no ear
to be pleased, no appetite to be admins
tered to, no passion TO be fed. no title TO
be acquired, no weall, to be earned, no
possible good, either real or imasinedi had
in view. They mean nothing. They are
wicked cheats. playing a game of decep'
ton, attempting to palm off a clustering
sound. for a substantial thought.
Profanity is surely a good witness of 4
terrible dear,h Of wisdom, (righ,(ul scar.
city OF ideas. Nor will any one pretend
that there is any good in profanity; for be.
sides being an arrant cheat. it is an idle
and wicked use Of the name OF the great.

AFlNE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
A GOOD TRADE.

propose TO sell my land, consisting Of
$50 acres, lying at Cowan, in Franklin Co.,
Tenn, on the Nashville and Chattanooga X.
r. About $50 acres are in cultivation, the
rest .incly timbercd, and all of it as good as
any land in the county. Situated on this
tract is my private rGsidence-a neat and
comfortable dwelling--with all necessary out
houses. Amy one desiring Il delightful home
would do well TO purchase this spot. The
beautiful views of the mountain and the site
of The University of the South, are highly at
~tractlve ant afford q happy relief to the eye
There are four excellent springs on the land
and in view Of the fact that the University of
the South-the greatest contemplated insti.
tuition of learning now kDown-has been To-
Gated at Sewanee, only four miles distant,
it is evident that in q few years the land |
propose to sell will be
Immensely increased in rdlue.
No man who has capital to invest should neg
lect this chance to make a good bargaln-no
man with keen foresight will. Lying as this
land does, on the N. g. c. Railroad, a ready
transportation is offered for all that may DO
raised on it, and in a few years il could all be
sold in lots for private residences, al prices
sufficient to enlist the consideration of every
money-seeker. Adjoining this tract is an.
other large farm for sale.
ALSO
/ propose to sell the university House,
A number one Hotel,
lately fitted up and elegantly furnished from
kitchen TO parlor. 1t is situa ed at Cowan,
four miles from Sewanee, and from the piaz.
20 the cars can be seen after leaving Cowan
until they reach the site Of tho University
To see them thus being dra wn, by the smok-
ing 'iron horse" along the If winding pt,h-
way up the mountain side, is truly interest.
ing. Within 20 feet Of the door OF the ho-
tel Is a good wei. of salubrious water.
These propositions mny not be open long.
and while | AIN in the notion to sell those who
wish to purchase would do well to apply. 1t
is decidedly the best opening for a profitable
investment that can be found.

WINCHESTER:
THURSDAY EVENING, deer %.

Christmas is now close upon US. Par
ties will be in vogue, and If health and
time permit, we shall be %ourself, disposed.
If not anxious, 10 Join the throng-meet
our male friends and converse with the
Ngsn,ler sex" on the rarious topics ofthe
day, and watch the graceful trip OF the
r'light, fantastic toe" But before these
parties are INDUCED in, we submit TO our
young friends the following thoughts
which we desire them to ponder well and
profit by.
LATE HoUR,.-"Late" end "~early" are
relative terms, end therefore cannot, with.
in a Certain limit, fla q uniformity ofhours
lot social intercourse. ppu, that, with the
fullest allowance for individual circum.
stances that could reasonably he asked,
the hours at which most Of our social par.
lies begin and end, involve an outrage
'upoa the physical health. to say nothing
'of the moral, we think nobody will deny.
What these are, in what Gre ca lie clash.
lionable circles" may be inferred rom the
circumstances stated to US by q lady friend
ahat on going recently TO a mere %"socia.
bQe," as ii was misnamed, al nine o'clock
she had "the modification Of finding her.
self the first lady present." When she
would have been the last one may readi.
ly be guessed.
Look atour balls. We find the "bal,"
proper, opening about nine or ten o'clock,
and closing at from three to four! Mean.
while. a hearty supper OF all sorts OF indl
ges,ible things, mixed together in the
stomach. made voracious by the fatigue
of dancing, aided by exhaustion from loss
of sleep, is parlakcn of-say at from
twelve to one o'clock! Then the severe
exercise OF dancing, perhaps every sett,
and the still severer exercise ofthe waltz
or the polka, is suffered TO follow upon
the engagement Of the stomach, without
intermission! Only think Of it! Could
anything but evil came Of such palpable
violation VI the laws ofhealth? Did these
assemblies begin at seven and end at elev.
en- o'clock, or twelve at the very latest,
the "governor" Of the household could 90
after the young folks. if not with them,
with some expectation Of being fit for
business mex. day. Then many a bust.
ness man. who is utterly deprived of all
social enjoyment under the present PERM.
cious system, could occasionally join IN
the social parry without difficulty.
