The time for swearing off is here.
This beautiful custom of sitting the
bad habits dates back so far that no
one knows when it originated. 1t is
such a delightful thing for man, when
he rises from his downy couch on the
first morning Of the year, to tell him
self that hereafter he will swear no
more at his wife, will take her to church
every Sunday morning, will bring in
the wood and make fire for her to
cook the tripe, will stop smoking, will
''chew the rag" "less-(alsoless tobacco)
and will not shoot off his mouth when
it is not his shot.
There are many more bad habits
that might be mentioned but these are
the principal ones.
