Blind Dan.

IT'S heard to be blind, for any one,
But hardest, say. for horse,
Which must move, and strive, and labor,
Commanded by human force;
For human hearts are so t1inty hard,
And weak hands strong with whip.
Alas! and many wicked yell
Is hurled from human lip.
It's hard to be blind for any one,
But man he can speak and plead,
And learn by language the thing desired
With a careful, leisurely heed.
But ah for the sightless, speechless horse,
Which must never be 10th to know
The hidden breaths of his owners wants
Too oft he is told by blow!
Toiling. he bears the cut of the lash
For blunder he could not see.
The jerk Oh the bit which stings and tears
At the strong flesh cruelty!
The heavy loads, and the under feed,
And the pinching of needed drink.
For a blind horse is so cheap. they say.
"No odds if he wear and shrink!'
The coarse boys jeer at, and call him Bones
Do they think of the hungry days
Which brought him down to skeleton
From the roundest of glossy bays?
If they only knew what a charity
A pat of the hand would be,
And gentle word, or a cooling drink,
They would give them right cheerfully.

He went to bis long, long rest,

He sleeps in the woodland where he played
With his mother when he was young,
Where he saw the grass and the waving
