Commissioners and that he was
mot simply invited but earnest

Now seeing that my friend (if

clude that his appointment belong

we may conclude that the Indian

for such a mission, who had not the

We can conceive no reason why
any man should swear, but many
reasons why he should not
l. 1t is mean. A man OF high
neral character would almost as
leave steal sheep as swear.
2. It Is vulgar (; and altogether
too low for o decent man.
8. It is cOwardly-implying q
fear of not being believed.
3. II is ungentlemanly. A gen.
tleman is too well-bred, refined.
Such q one will no more swear
than throw mud with q clod-hop-
per.
5. tits indecent, offensive to de-
licacy and unfit for any human
ear.
6. 1t is foolish. A want or decen-
cy is q want of sense.
Z. 1t Is abusive to the mind
which conceives the oath, to the
tongue which utters 1t, and the
person at whom 1t is aimed.
8. 1t is vencmous, it thaws mans
heart to be q nest of vipers, and
evory time the man swears, q VI
per sticks his head out.
8. 1t is contemplate, FORGETTING
the respect of the wise and good.
10. 1t is wicked, violating the
divine law,and provoking the dis
pleasure of Him who will not hold
him guiltlees who taketh bis
name in vain.

The Toledo tOhio) Commercial
furnishes the following: IA gen.
tleman In East Toledo has a very
intelligent Newfoundland dog,
who Is frequently sent with a bas-
ket and note to the butchers for
meat. The dog has always per-
formed his duty faithfully. He
will never allow any interference
with his charge. The same gen.
tleman owns a fine black -and-tan,
who is an arrant little thief, but q
fast friend Of the Newfoundland,
withal. Not long since the New
foundland came home with the
meat, as usual, but his scratch at
the door was not heard. His lit
tie playmate was making frantic
efforts to get the meat. He good
naturally resisted for some time,
and then suddenly an idea seemed
to enter his head. He started
away on bound; leaped to the
top Of the carriage-house, thence
into the loft of the barn, where he
concealed the meat. Finally the
door was opened, and his mistress
asked, why, Pluto, what have
you done with the meat p when
he rushed to the barn, and quick
ly emerged from the loft, with 1t
safe and uninjured In the basket"

Ohio is getting ready for crusade in

the orderly classes all over the country
The social barbarians best known as
Cramps" have grown to such large and

to keep this class within bounds for the
coming winter. The end proposed is
good one. The tramp nuisance will
become much greater evil than it is
now before spring flowers bloom again,
unless more restraints are put upon it
aud the city fathers, in convention as
sembled, ought to do something more
than pass indignant resolutions, no mat
ter how pertinent these may be. Pris-
ons have no terrors for tramps' especi-
ally in cold weather. Nothing pierces
their souls like work, and if there is any
public service in Ohio which needs to
