Wille sitting ivith him at the campfire late one niglit, after every one else had gone to bed, I said to him : "Geniieral, it seems singular that you have gone tlirough all the rough 'and tuiinble of army service and f tier lifie, and hare never been provoked ireto swearing. I have never heard jou. utter an oath or use tin imprecation." "Well, or other I never k-armed to sivear." he replied. Wl'.pii a boy, I seiemied to have an avension to it, aaid whttn I beca me a tatúa I s;uv ther íolly of it. I have nl'.va.ys noticed, too, that swearlng hclp.s to roiuse a maia's anger ; and wfhen a man flies into a passion, bis adversary who fceepfl eool always getsi the better of him. In fact, I could liever sec the use of swearing. I think it is the case with maniy people who swear exeeeerlvely, tliat it U a, luwe Iia3)it. and tlliat thpy do not. meam to he profane; lut to say least, i( i-i a irreal waste of time."
