The Habit of swearing.

The meanest, most useless and most
contemptihle vice that ever grew. rank
in the hot. .honse of the devil is profane
swearing We protest against it not as
preachers and church members object
70 sin on professional grounds but as
members Of society, as decent men,
On boats, in cars, in places of business,
on the open street, at concert doors
snd every where else rings the incess
ant oath of the habitual swearer :
Young men just learned to curse appear
to think there is something manly and
brave about it; while old swearers in
terlard the commonest remarks they
make with cold blooded -blasphemies
and variety of diabolical curses. No
man or woman of any refinement or
decencv at all can be otherwise than
laccrated and shocked by these brutal
and vulgar verbal missiles every day
ard no fellow who is shamefully guilty
of projecting them can do otherwise
than sink beneath the contempt of such
men and women with every vile epithet
they hear him UTTER Public profanity
ought to be an indictahle offense with q
penalty Of ten days in Jail for every
oAih.s
