ftom our hearts. "Oh! Unit s indu

been j'ist so all winter long." "Do you
mean to say thosu hursts have been
kept out In that way all tnis bitter
winter?" inquired a passenger. "Yes
I do, and day and night it has been thn
SJiuiil" "Cure Mich wretches who

abuses his horses ought to hu well cow

Thorn, enn bo up excuse for such mis
ernhle i-hiftlo-sncs-, Poverty Is nooxcuse,
for hu who can own a horse can have a
coniforUbW shed or cave for it, If noth

ti-at.s the poor dumb beasts forfeits his
rights to property in them, morally.
And ifa man's laud can he takuu from
lilm for not paying his taxes, surely Ids

cruel negligence. Do as you would bo
