THE VALUE OF GOOD LANGUAGE.

No NATTER how vile may be or how def
cient in principle honor the qualities that
mend men to positions of affluence there is yet a
degree Of force and attractveness in his character if
his speech is free from slang and profanity Leav-
ing aside the moral question Of bad language and
viewing the situation solely from the standpoint Of
sefinterest there is to offer in it's Defense
no value which can accrue from its and no charm
which it add to conversation Its use betrays
vugarity weakens confidence in the one using it and
always arouses suspicion Of other faults that may or
may not be harbingers of impurity Of speech.
1t is quite natural to believe that person who
will use coarse language will be guilty of other and
perhaps more serious sins, and when his speech is
vulgar other bad traits are looked for and guarded
against A ragged tramp whose language is of a
polished nature, will command attention,
ceive a more respectful hearing and inspire more
confidence than we'll dressed man who emphasizes
his remarks with the coarseness of slang the vile
ness of profanity.
Bad language mas no place in intelligent con-
versation It is wet blanket thrown that genial
fellowship which is the charm and spice of social
discussion. Its cannot express a thought
rectly or convey it with that Of sincerity and
conviction which admissible words alone can give or
impress listener with it's truth value. Opinions
to nave weight QlTeCClVonoSS must rely on SOOU
wording. In this slang and profanity like so
much old junk-utterly useless. The soul Of any
company is the man who uses choice language. He
gives gathering of congenia spirits added dignity
and contributes most to it's enjoyment. He monopo-
Lies the greatest attention and by reason Of his
greater popularity resulting from the avoidance Of
what offends, is it's most valued member The very
uselessness Of vulgar speech is the strongest argu
ment against it's use. It evidences good quality.
It has no power to convince doubling person. 1t
recommends one to anybody of real worth. But,
on the other hand, it is danger signal that warns
away the respectable, the companionabe and even
those whose morals still lower but who have the
good sense to conceal their shady character with the
cloak of good language.
No matter what is, no matter what he
has been what he expects to be- it is to his inter-
est to be careful of his speech. Pure language is
passport to preference Its value in this respect is
sufficient for it's cultivation, even though
other is thought worthy of consideration. The ex-
ercise of in choosing words to express meaning
soon grows into habit, and when formed slang and
profanity become odious by the contrast.

No ONE, however humble they may be or how
ever proud, successfully combat the blighting
pail of accusation without the stain Of disgrace leav-
ing it's mark. The average person has not the time
to consider and weigh the possibilities of doubt but
considers that where there is smoke fire must exist
This is the judgment usually delivered on hearing of
an accusation and however hastily formed they are
not willing to believe otherwise until thoroughly
convinced to the contrary

WHEN a gets arrested almost every other
person to imagine that it is their special duty
to bring forward everything that is bad in his past
They also make it business to take good care and
not mention the good deeds which he has performed
during the same period. No doubt there are good
number of cases where this has not been done, but
generally it is only too true.

COMMON sense is not learning smartness, but
the faculty Of concentrating intelligence and employ
ing it to meet the needs Of emergency. A knowl-
edge Of men, how to judge them to gauge their
weaknesses and smooth their prejudices by wel-di-
rected reproo and the ability to point out remedies
for difficulties arising in everyday life the reas-
oning qualities that balance common sense.
