CogREr SPEAKING advise all young
people to acquire in early life the habit OF using
GOOD language both in speaking and writing,
and to abandon as early as possible the use OF
slang words and phrases. The longer they
live the more difficult the acquisition OF good
language will be; and if the golden age OF
youfh-the proper season for the acquisition OF
language-be passed 10 its abuse, the. unlor,
tunate victim Of neglected education IS 3, very
probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money
IS not necessary to procure this education
Every man has it in bis power. He has merely y y
to use the language which he reads lnstead OF
the Slang which he hears to torn his taste from
the best speakers and poets OF inc county, 70
habituate himself to their use, avoiding at the
same time that pedantic precision and bombast
which show the weakness of vain ambition
rather than the polish of educated mind.
