"PooR OLD HoRsE."-we notice. with mingled
feelings Of indignation and disgust that there

hands in defence Of the "Poor Old Horse" We have
horses drawing heavy loads who are hardly able to
draw long breath. We have seen lame horses, with
some sort Of fixture of iron their feet 1--WE do not
speak ironically, walking as it were on their toes like
French dancing masters. If these poor brutes, like
Balams ass could talk to the brutes and who
90 cruel to then they would say "why do you compel
rs t. work when we are At subjects for the hospital
Let The Mayor take care of the horses This is nothing
mora than righs merely for the sake Of humanity,
DON. Let people compel lame and hafdead animals to
work. Pity the sorrows of o poor old horse
