AMIN AIS.

An Interesting nueStion---ire We Aware
4. NsCongtioing"
Providence Journal: The London
Spectator raises an interesting question
when it asks whether there is not
some ground for supposin@ that, apart
from questions of our own convenience,
there are not some desperately wicked
animals which are not only wicked per
Sc, but quite conscious that they are
doing actions which place them out
side the pale both of human and ami
mai consideration" Men are apt. us a
rule, to consider animals in the bull
to say with the Schoolboy that 1.-The
horse is Il noble ANIMAL" and let it go
at that. But everyone who has lived
much with horses or with dogs knows
that the variety Of disposition among
them is rs great as among men, that
there are horses and dogs which, iudg-
ed in relation to the majority of their
kind are criminals, and deserve to be
treated like criminals. That is to say,
they do wrong not because it is their
instinct or because they know no bet
ter--as tigers prey on human life-but
in contradiction to their own moral
sense. The consciousness of guilt is a
very common trait in all domesticated
animals, The Spectator rightly says
that animals have the power Of self
control. Any wCll-trained dog or horse
will give you a conspicuous illustration
of the truth of this theory; and even
cats and birds, which some people
place on q level with dogs and horses,
although the evidence is against this
conclusion, have shown themselves to
be by 70 means Indifferent to ethical
considerations. Many wild animals,
too. like elephants, differ morally in
no small degree.

sands of colts are annually raised that
are not worth even the care and cost
of the hay that they consume; but if a

fully develop its possibilities by ade-
