One sometimes sees drunken man
pitched violently from a horse, and
wheh the bystanders rush to the spot,
expecting to find him dead, they are as.
tonished to discover that he has been
but little injured. In his "Scrambles
Among the High Alps" Leslie Stephen
tells the story of guide, who, while
drunk, fell over preeipice so deep that
fall over it seemed almost certain
death, and who yet sustained little in
jury. Stephen accordingly gives his
readers the sdvice either not to fall
over precipice, or to get thoroughly
drunk before doing SO. The reason Of
this impunity or immunity is that the
nerve centres are so much paralyzed in
the drunken man as not 10 be effected
by the shock of the fall, which, in a So
Der man, would have acted upon them
so violently as to stop the heart, arrest
the circulation, and cause instant
death.

Profanity.

Profanity is one Of the evils of the
day. You can scarcely ever walk out
upon the public streets without being
shocked by horrible oaths that seem to
darken the very atmosphere. From the
small street gamin to those Of larger
growth that congregste on our street
corners there is heard the sound Of
oaths and lewd language that evidence
the depravity and show only too plain
ly the lack Of training and home influ-
ence in this particular. Then we some
times hear it from the boy Of seventeen
and twenty who seems to imagine that
it is manly to be rough, loud and pro-
fame. They forget that gentleman is a
gentle man. Profanity too plainly
shows not only the character Of the
speaker, but al ignorant, narrow mind.
On a steamer once were some officers en-
gagged in social chat, when during lull
in the conversation, al officer observed: /:
GAS there are no ladies present | want
to tell you a yarn" ''But there are
gentlemen present." said Gen. Grant,
strengthening himself to his full height.
The officer looked confused and humil-
lated and soon left the company. Gen.
Grant was never so much hero, even
though he was the victor Of battles and
leader Of great armies, as be stood for
manly dignity and purity of language.
Debssing, indeed, is profanity and lewd
conversation or anything that tends
to vu.garity. Let your conversation
be such as becometh the Gospel Of Jesus
Christ"
