The Evils Of PrOfanity-.-An Open Let
ter to the Boys OF America.
[Frorn the Rursl New Yorker.l


DEAR RURAL: If you are willing,
| will say few words through your
columns to the boys, while l am
willing the men should listen.
Dear Boys-Did you ever see q
lovely plant overshadowed and
choked by great, ungainly weeds till
it had no strength to bud or bloom?
just so would the coarse and noxious
weeds of profanity shadow your
character and choke from your heart
every sweet blossom of purity and
refinement.
I hope there are many among you
who never use bad language of any
kind. but want to warn you all
against profanity. First, it is ex-
ceedingly sinful to take the name of
God in vain and how often do we
hear the name of our blessed Jesus
Christ. who died for us, profaned.
Any boy has some influence, be it
more or less and if he INDUCES him
self in the use of profane language.
he places a very bad example before
his acouaintances. Besides, this en-
snaring practice would surely bring
you into bad company. and evil COM
panions would lead you to many other
vices. Vicious boys would soon
trace you and flock around you, while
the good could find no pleasure in
your society. IL you have a true
friend on earth-one who seeks your
best interests-you may rest assured
that that friend would suffer deep
sorrow and humiliation If you were TO
entangle Yourself either with bad as
sociates or the disgraceful fault OF
which have warned you.
Every boy should possess a certain
independence, to enable him to stand

The American Who Slapped The Baron.
Paris correspondence Baltimore Americana
Letters from Vienna to the Lon
don papers record the fact that a
young Austrian officer has received
merited punishment at the hands Of
an American gentleman for insulting
an American lady. When describ-
ing the lives these young Austria4
officers lead in one of our letters
from Vienna, the fear was entertain.
ed that some of your readers might
regard the picture drawn as an ex-
aggeration. This incident tends to
the substantiation of our assertion
that in any other community such
impudence would not be permitted.
They daily and hourly insult ladies on
the street, and protect themselves in
their infamous course by the duelIo,
their proficiency in broad sword ex-
ercise placing the civilian who may
resent their insults completely at
their mercy. The American gentle
man who punished this young scamp
declined to meet him, on the ground
that he had proved himself TO he no
gentleman tat no gentleman would
wantonly insult lady.
This will. probably, have the effect
OF rendering them more careful in
future as to the nationality of those
they under axe to insult. SIS this
young scamp is a present the laugh
ing stock Of all Vienna. They swarm
by thousands in all parts of the city,
and make the practice of insulting
every young lady Of any personal at
fractions whom they may meet, pro-
vided she is unprotected. It is for
this reason the young girls of Vienna
are seldom permitted by their par
ents to 90 alone on the street, The
officers never ass ,ciate with civil; ans.
by whom they are regarded with
aversion. d the latter avoid coming
in contact with them. knowing that
to resent an insult is TO receive
challenge. The idea that a man who
would wantonly insult lady is no
gentleman. has pleased them great
ly. and is probably the hardest blow
the duello has ever received in Vien-
m. 1t has had the effect of teaching
these military scamps a good lesson.
Nothing can be more cowardly than
for man. whose daily business is to
handle sword. to challenge a man
to fight who has probably never
drawn one from scabbard. Itwonld
be about on par with q blacksmith
challenging a quill.driver to fight
with sledge-hammers.

up for what he knows to be right, no
matter who or what resists him. The
lack of this independence is a stum-
bling.block over which very many
fall into temptation. Do not be led
through the world, boys, by low
set of Ioafers, unworthy to be your
leaders. Be independent; have, a
mind of your own; find where the
right is. and uphold it then you can
respect yourself and be respected by
others-even by those who desire to
lead you astray; while on the other
hand. thev could but despise you, in
their hearts. for demeaning yourself
in doing what all knew to be wrong.
Putting aside the wickedness of
you cannot be gentle

use rough or profane language for
this vulgar habit would transform
you into an ill-bred, unmannerly
boor, and stamp the unmistakable
mark of a nobody upon you-and
thus you would be excluded from re-
fined and intelligent society. Who
desires to be nobody? Think of
this, boys, when you are tempted to
swear! Avoid all slang expressions.
They are often but the prelude to
this vile evil. To those, young or
old, who have already formed the
habit, l say-''It is never too late to

will prove yourself stronger than the
habit. If in a moment of anger or
you fail, do not be dis
outraged, but persevere till the hid
sous monster is trampled beneath
7our feet.
