A Gentle Reminder.

An old man and a young man were riding in a stage-coach. The old man was grave but sprightly, short of stature, spare, with a smooth forehead, fresh complexion, and a bright and piercing eye. The young man swore a great deal; until once when they stopped to change horses, the old man said to him, "I perceive by the registry books, that you and I are going to travel together a long distance in this coach. I have a favor to ask of you. I am getting to be an old man; and if I should so far forget myself as to swear, you will oblige me if you will caution me about it." The young man instantly apologized, and there was no more swearing heard from him during that journey. The old man was John Wesley.
