DON'T isWEAR.

A turbulent Scolchman was arrested the
other day, for some misdemeanor, aud es-
! cor,ed by the police to the station-house.
Though large, powerful man, he could
not resist the force OF ths law, but his un-
bridled passion found expression in the
most furious outburst of abusive and pro.
lane language. II was fearful to hear the
terrible oaths and curses that poured in one
continuous stream from his mouth, as he
was carried through the streets Even the
rough boys, who were drawn by the uproar,
