company of good , honest English
words , until as you discover that you
are carrying on your part of the con
versation without swearing , you feel
easier and your intellectual stature is
increased by a foot. Just observe this ,
my boy , and see if I am not right.
But you will rip out some time. Oh ,
yes , iu some way you will. I knew
some- good men , some of the best In
the world , who will confound it , and
even dog-gone it ; and in New Eng
land even a deacon has been known ,
under a terrible strain , to "condemn
It. " But as a rule , my son , don't do
it. Don't swear. It isn't an evidence
of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any
fool can swear , and a great many fools
do. I , my son ? All , if I could only
gather up all the useless , uncalled
for , ineffective swears I have dropped
along the- pathway of life. I know I
would remove stumblinnf-blocks from

many inexperienced feet , and my own
heart would be lighter by a ton than
it is to-day. But if you are going to
be a fool just because other men have
been , oh , my son , my son , what an
awful , what a colossal , what a hope
less fool you will be.

ADVICE TO A YOUHG MAN.
I :
BY K. J. EUEDETTi : . [
My son , did you ever think what a ,
fool you are for swearing- That pro
fanity isn't an ornament to any speech ?
That the story that has to be pointed
with a dash lasts only so long as it is.
being told 2 That the-brightest gems-
in English poetry and the most elo
quent passages in alL oratory live-
through centuries of admiration and :
criticism , , and thrill the souls of people
ple today , as the } ' thrilled the now
pulseless hearts that caught their in
spiration : hundreds of years ago , with ,
never a "damn'rin the line 2 Did you
ever stop to think why you- swear iri
a ball-room , but never in a parlor ?
You can't improve Shakespeare by-
mixing in the lines a little cow-boy
profanity. If Bryant liad written , ,
"To him who in the Ioveof nature Holds
Communion with her dashed visible forms
She pea2a blank blanked \arle < l language , " '
the poem would have been , ruined' .
And it ruins the force and beauty or '
your conversation , just the same.
Moreover , indulgence in the habifc
ruins- the for.eeof your profanity.
Nobody cares for the swearing of a.
habitual swearer. His volleys o pro- *
faniiy have no terror in them. They
mean nothingIt is the man whe
never swears ivho scares you. out of
your boots , if" once in lifetime he
does swear. So-far as we can learn.
Washington only swore once during-
all the eight years of the Revolution
ary War. But that one time counted ! .
It turned back the tideof retreat ,
changed a rout into a victory and
mads- things hum But the fellow 1 r
who swears on all occasions , and \
swears hot and cold with the same
mouth , the intellectual pauper who
ekes out his barren , supply of. ideas-
with an : abundant crop , of profanrtyr
whose conversation is a long chain ,
of mill privileges and who talks as a ,
beaver works , his. swearing is weak , ,
vapid , tiresome , disgusting. So , if
you want to swear with , any effect , my
boy , be very seldomabeut it. Be
exclusive in your profanity. If you
can't get along without it , bring-it out
occasionally , like rare olil family diamonds
mends : don't keep it running six or
eight hours a day , like the kitchen
hydrant. And you won't be offend
ed , my son But if you- will observe
closely , you.will perceive that young
men , boys , fledglings of. about your
age , swear more than men. More
frequently ; more awkwardly ; with
less point and direction. . A man be
comes ashamed of it. It belongs to
-the cigarette- and matinee period of
life , my boy. It is a habit that flour
ishes in the bread and butter days-
along somewhere between the high ,
school and the college and while the-
CD
blue ribbon on the diploma is bright. .
It belongs to what Puclcso aptly calls
the "unsalted generation ; : ' the fresh
young.men. So put it away and put
on manly things. .
And just one word more. Suppose-
you are given to a habit of profanity. .
You , enten- into conversation with a
man who never swears ; in other
words , a gentleman. Bjr and by you
begin to perceive that he is the superior - -
perior man. . Your remarks Have a.
tame , fiat , feeble sound to your own
ears. Your cheeks begin to burn
with , a sense of your friend's excel
lence. . Your perc little damns sound ;
rough and coarse and vulgarvas they. :
are. They begin to drop-oufcofyour
sentences ashamed to. , remain , in tiu >
