Beware OLA Prevalent Vice.

Boys, II by a few earnest heartfelt words
you may be Induced TO keep clear of vice
now feariully prevalent in this country, it
will be worth more to you than large pres
ent of money. We refer to the use Of profane
language 1T is almost the only ain that has
neither excuse, pleasure. or profit. Offensive
alike to God and good mon, it makes vita.
ted taste, want ofre6pement, and disre-
gard both of virtue andthe feelings of others.
Instead of relieving the passion Of anger as
some declare, it only strengthens it by giving
It expression. II il be urged that il Is a habit
difficult TO be broken, thls'is confession that
disregards of right has become a settled part
of the character. No boy old enough to know
the meaning of words ntters his first oath
without ashudder; ifby repetition he is able
to swear without compunction it is not that
the sin is less, but because his own sense of
right has been blunted; the crime aud its
penalties are the same. But the habit can
be subdued Scarcely boy or man will use
profanity in the presence of his mother then,
II he will, he cah restrain II at other times.
Let every boy respect himself too much to
yield to this habit, but TO rebuke profanity
whenever heard by expressive silence and a
good example, If not by words.
