Gentleman Swearers.


It is not pleasant to admit that the
world is getting worse instead Of better,
or that any reprebcnsible habit is becom-
ing more prevalent and common. Especi
ally in Christian land, and under the
influence Of the purer religion Of which
Americans are somewhat inclined to
boast, one might look for higher style
of morals and more uniform outward re-
gard for scacred things. But the worlds
standard is lower than it used to be when
we were less enlightened The cata-
logues of mortal sins and venial offences
have changed their proportions as we
have grown in wisdom So long as we
desire to maintain respectable social
position, we are called upon to abstain
from murder, except it be done accord
ing to the code; and theft and lying are
acknowledge to be offences against socie
ity. The decalogue has dwindled down
to these narrow limits, and in the place
of the comprehensive law thatapplied to
all the relations and circumstances of lire,
public opinion has established another
code, stringent enough, it may be, but
which only effects to regulate actions
that have no moral quality whatever.
To discuss the subject of profane
swearing, even upon this low grJund, it
would be difficult to show how the prac-
tice is profitable to the swearer. Ifit is
important that an excited individual
should let off extra steam by the agency
Of such safety valves, why would not
some more innoceno expfetive answer as
we'll as an oath? Or, if nothing else will
do in the moment of strong excitement,
how does it pay to toss about the name
that is above all other names in ordin-
ary conversational play with the royal
titles of the King of Kings--as though
he we're some idol divinity IF there is
profit in the practice, we have never
been able to find it out oi-
There are great numbers of men in
the world who are weak enough to alb
hor profanity and to shun the society of
chivalrous gentleman who can not utter
sentence without one or more bias
nhemies in it. IF the influence of these
soueamish individuals should ever hap
pen to be necessary to the habitual
swearer, he is tolerably certain 70 60
| without it. Ifthe good opinion of the
moralist has any value, it is great folly
to threw it away for the sake Of amo-
mentary qualification. Young men swear
because they desire to look manly and
important, and in our day the quantity
and quality Of the blasphemies are gene
rally in inverse proportion to the age Of
the swearer. There is some show Of
reason about this, but the matured mar

must find a better excuse. We wear
beard nowadays. and the hirsute
adornments that Dame Nature furnishes
better proves our manhood than any
quantity of fippant appeals to the Deity
can do. 81 sY se
The time was when one of the most in
fallible marks by which the gentleman
was distinguished from the blackguard
was the total avoidance of profane ex-
pressions on the part of the former. We
know that swearing was a fashionable
vice with some of our ancestors. The
Court Of the first Charles was a vast
manufactory of blasphemies, and the
gallant caviliers of that day swore by
exact rule. But the tremendous fumi-
nations which they had invented in more
peaceful times were of very little use at
Marston Moor and Naseby. And the
descendants of men who were victors in
these battles settled in America, brought
with them stricter code of morals, and
the sweafer was tabooed upon principle.
Whatever may be said about these rare
cd worthless, they were certainly men
of purer lives than their degenerate sue
cessors are apt to believe, and the power
OF their example was felt through one or
two generations. A low fellow was ex-
pected to call down curses on his own
head, and he was an outcast because he
swore, but no gentleman was guilty of a
practice that was considered utterly de-
grading. ? p p a4
If there is no God Of the Universe, it
is great nonsense to swear by him, and
to lug in his name to strengthen an ar
gument or to polish sentence; and if
there as-One, holy and supreme, noting
the fall of the sparrow, and needing the
lightest words of man some better foot
ball should be found than His reverend
name. 3Hs3gss F

Rebel Losses at Atlanta.

The Richmond Dispatch of Sept 9th
contains the following in relation to their
losses at Atlanta: } EaA
The statement Of the extent of our
losses of stores, ordinance and ammuni-
tion at Atlanta, are contradictory. The
Columbus San, of the 9th instant, says
that they were very heavy; that before
Atlanta was lost, all our railroad stock
that had been retained was destroyed.
It amounted to more than one hundred
and fifty cars. and several, engines
Eighteen Of the cars were heavily loaded
with ordinance stores, among which
were about 5000 splended- Enfield or
Tower muskets, entirely new, with all
their equipments. A large number jof
brides, saddles, canteens, with splended
web-clings, swords, bayonets, axes, shov-
els. and other hardware in large guam
tity. About 5000, 900 rounds Of car.
tridges and ammunition of all kinds and
of the very finest quality and character
were fired.
That sach an enormous amount OF
material which cannot be replaced. was
permitted to accumulate and remain IN
Atlanta until it was completely isolated
and eventually destroyed, exhibits (says
the Sun) not only most culpable negl-
gence, but the most reprehensible income
potency on the part Of those who mis-
managed the affair. f5tr

The Registry of Votes.

9 1t should not be forgotten that the
Legislature, at the last session, past a
law requiring the registry Of the names
of all voters, and persons cannot exer
else the right of suffrage without COM
plying with its provisions, Secretary
Fairchild has prepared and sent out
forms and instructions needed. We
state the main features for the benefit of
our readers: eA' =
A man must, unless he has good and
ample reason for the neglect. have his
name on the Register one week before
the election, or he cannot vote. The
Board of Eelectors in each Town and
Ward meet three weeks before the cleo
tion, and make list Of the voters from
the poll-list of last year, striking Of such
names as they know should not be there,
such as those known to have moved
from the Town, and putting on those
who have moved in or become of age,
and in other respects making it as cor
rect as they can, when it is to be posted
up in the room in which Inspection
Board meet, and be accessible to all who
wish to see it, in order that further cor
rections may be made.
One week before the Election the
Board meets auain to make corrections
if it needs any At this meeting the
Inspectors make the list and have to
certify to their belief that it is correct
one, and make four copies thereof, one
for each Inspector, and one for the
Town or City Clerk. After the last list
is made, no person whose name is not
thereon can vote, unless he shall furnish
affidavit in writing, giving his reasons
for not appearing at the second meeting
of the district that he is an inhabitant
of the district. iaaa48@
If a man knows he voted last fall, and
has reason to believe the Board of his
District is composed Of reasonably care
full and honest men, he need not con-
Germ himself about being registered, for
his name will be placed there all right
by the board; and if it is not, he can
have it recti6ed on election day, in a
manner prescribed. No man who is a
legal voter can be debarred the right of
voting, whatever may have been his own
neglect or that of the board, while the
man who is not a voter can hardly
squeeze his vote in, if there are any vigi-
lant or honest men in the town to aid
in purging the lists. adH esef4a Fl

Nights in Australia

Night in Australia How impossible
to describe its beauty Heaven seems,
in that new world, so much nearer earth /!
Every star stands out so bright and par
ticular, as if fresh from the time that
the Maker willed it. And the moon, lik e
large silvery sun-the least objection
to which is, it shines so distinct and SO
still. II have frequently" says Mr..
Wilkinson, in his work on South Aus
tralia, sheen on a journey in such a
night, and while allowing my horse his
own time to walk along the road, have
solaced myself by reading in the still,
soft moonlight Now and then a
sound breaks the silence, but a sound
so much in harmony with the solitude
that it only deepens its charms. Hark
the low cry Of the night bird from Won
der glen, amid the small grey gleamy
rocks. Hark as the night deepens, the
bark ofthe distant watch dog, or the low,
strange howl Of his more savage species
from which he defends the fold. Hark
the echo catches the sound and fings il
sportively from. hill to hilI-farther and
farther down, till again it is hushed, and
the flowers hang noisleesly over your
head as you ride through grove. Of
giant gum trees Now the air is liter
ally charged with odors, and the sense
grows almost painful in its pleasure
You quicken your pace and again
escape into the open plains and full
moonlight, and enjoy the exquisit fine
ness of the atmosphere, and through the
slim tea--trees, catch a glimpse Of the
river and hear the soothing sounds ot
its gentle murmur. gta

H3-O On the banks of the Niger, In
Africa they have tree called the Shea,
from which excellent butter is obtained.
The tree is like our oak, and the fruit
somewhat resembles the Spanish olive.
The kernal is dried In the sun and then
boiled, and the butter thus obtained, is
whittier, frmer, and of richer flavor
than that obtained from the cow, besides
keeping sweet for year without salt
The growth of his article is one of the
leading objects Of African Industry, and
constitutes the nfain article Of their in
land commerce. If the present prices
continue, we recommend our dealers to
import supply of vegetable butter from

of the original stock is preserved Tor re-

constantly kept down. By che same
thrifty system Of saving old newspapers
and handing them over to the dealers
who will be glad to call at private
