Profanity.

The prevalence of profanity on
the street, in the parlor and on
the stage brings our thought to
the theme.
Profanity is not an accomplish
ment, although ignorance has so
often grinned at it that some
reckless thinkers believe that
they do not measure to their full
height until they have learned
how to pollute their speech.
A gentleman is never profane,
for The will not disregard the
rights of others by abusing their
ears and shocking their sensibil-
tiles.
1t is said of General Grant that,
when he was in the field, one of
his staff officers approached him
to quote a volley of half-drunken
and wholly profane language u.s.
ed by a soldier. The officer pre-
faced his purpose by remarking,
Are there any ladies around?"
No." said Grant, but there
are gentlemen" Needless to
say, the story was like Macbeth's
amen, it stuck in the throat of
the would-be entertainer.
Profanity has become a. public
nuisance. 1t crowds the street.
1t never strikes itself with the
thought that the bark of a mad
dog is far more musical than the
bray of an ass. 1t never consid.
ers that it is a trespasser on the
sidewalk.
When an officer las sometimes
happens) whose purpose it should
be to see that peace is preserved.
so makes inroads through profan-
ity upon the good order of socie-
ty, a fine should be a promise of
a discharge from public service.
When the stage volunteers to
insult its patrons by believing
that they think profanity to be
wit, the people owe it to their
own responsibility, not to say,
education or decency, to let the
stage know that it is a long cry
from originality to vulgarity. A
dwelling idiot can be profane,
but true wit is the thought of
genius.

The Power of Patience.

The steam that is let off never runs
anything. II is the repression and
cont. oil Of it that makes it a power in
mechanics, says an exchange. In the
same way, the impotient person fizzes
and fumes and amounts to nothing at
all. In a day when all men seem to
fear poverty above every other Ill, it is
we'll to remember Shakespeare's golden
words, "How poor are they that have
not patience!" Also to beware of fall
ing into such de~stitution.
The busy woman .of the household,
ibove all other beings, perhaps, needs
patience as her daily power. 1t seems
70 be the business or every grown-up
and every child in the average family
TO hurry and to distract the early
morning hours of the housewife. Only
The woman who knows how to keep
herself perfectly in hand can train
hem all to behave likewise, lind pre-
,erve her own freshness of spirit
meanwhile. Patience, and patience
done, makes peace out of d worrying
lay.
Irritation exhauets, both in it's ex-
)loslon and it's reoction. Patience
gathers and directs every inch of en-
rgy, and in the end makes itself re-
pected by every one within it's radius.
Vnen a patient person finally unlooses
righteous anger-as occasionally ID
,ound to happen-defnite things are
isually accomplished and transgressors
AXE IL to heart. For patience is not
weakness. 1t is controlled strength
nd solid character. The woman who
Jould be a power must practice pa
,ence, hard and long but every ounce
{ it will make steam pressure when
&c time comes.
