Wooden Swearing.

There is a kind of swearing, which many people are given to, when they are angry. Instead.pl giving vent to their feel isig»4n oaths, they slam the doors, kick the, chairs, stamp,on the floor, throw the furniture about and make all the tfdlse they possibly can. It is practically the same thing as swearing—springs. fron&Jbhe same kind of feelings exactly, - .but avoids saying thhsre awful woras. They force the furniture to make the noise, and so I call it wooden swearing. —Texas Siftings.
