Profanity.

One of the most disgusting and
prevalent vices which is growing to
alarming proportions, and which. in
our opinion. is the duty of every jour
nalist TO help suppress, is that Of pro-
Janty-meaningless, vulgar profanity.
Its use is confined to no age. sex or
position. 1t pollutes alike the CONVEX
sation of youthful strength and decrep-
1t age. In the highways and byways.
the counting room and work shop. and
too often in the social and family cir
Gle the ear is dinned by conversation
interlarded with profanity which Meth
er dignlfies, emphasizes nor embellish-
es. The stripping vies with tine man
of business in the intersection of his
oaths. and long before he reaches man
estate has acquired a detestable habit
which becomes second nature, and has
secured his proficiency as profession
al swearer for the term of his natural
life; SO that 60 where he NAV his foul
mouth carries the contagion, and be-
comes veritable cesspool of slime-a
standing menace to the welfare Of So
ciety.
Leaving moral or religious consider
atoms entirely out of the question, is
it not time that this abominable, un-
gentlemanly practice was abandoned :;
and can the press fulfill nobler mis-
sion than make its influence felt in aid
of its suppression? The vernacular
of the BLACKBOARD, under all circum-
stances reprehensible, is especially out
of place in the family circle, business
or social conversation or friendly greet
ing; and yet the practice referred to
prevails to greater or less extent in
all of them. 1t is high time to call a
halt, to put the penalty of social ostra-
cism on the individual who INDUCES
in it. Peculiarly apropos in this con-
nection are the lines of Cowper:
Maintain your rank vulgarity despise;
To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise.
