time, and every store kept a supply of

A gay young party OF Emmett's elite.

Some trouble was found IN securing rig
But they bravely kept On for the chances

But rigs were found scarce though they

And even schOOlmam is said u despair
At last they found QUE that would do for
the drive
II they only could find a young mao for
to drive.
BY this they could kill two birds With
one stone
Which was customly better than going
alone.
It required great skill the roads to get
through.
so At once they decided to get Mr.. -,

SWEARING.

An effort has been m4de in New York
to pass laws for the purpose Of prohibit
ing the use OF profane language by pun
ishing those who indulge in it publicly.
e seems however that the agitation has
met with opposition from rather unex-
pected source-frOm some clergymen
and people OF religious inclinatiOns.
These do not in any way approve OF
swearing, but they agree that profanity
is tie violation OF purely moral law
and not subject TO civil legislation. aud
that statute which cannot be enforced
Is den0raiiEiug. for the simple reason
that Al inpotant law will soon be regard
ed with contempt.
Ia the old Mosaic TheocracY there
very properly Was provision in the Grim
inai code against the use nf the name Of
the Most High .'in vain. aud severe pen.
alties followed the violation Of the law.
Many Christian countries still reSaiu laws
against blasphemy, evidently 10 imita
ton OF the Mosaic law. The question al
profanity is considerably wider. though
than the erime.or Siu, aimed al by such
legislation.
The Ouiy effective remedy against th'
use Of bad language is powerful public
sentiment. Let il be realized thSt pro
faulty is a SIRE evidence OF bad breeding
or moral degenerscv, aud that one wh'
iadulees in it is really unfit for the sOci
ety Of ladies and gentlemen; let it b. un
derstoOd its tendency is 10 brutalize th'
human being aud lower his moral status
, let the fight against the vice go ON oI
three iiaes, and the results will be appar
ent. A statute that cannot be enforced
will remain dead letter, but public sen
timent on the right side will be effective
Il has slre .dy done good work. We be
