A poor man once undertook to emil
crate from Castine, Me-, to Illinois,
When he was attempting to cross a
river to New York his horse broke
through the rotten timbers OF the
bridge and was drowned. He had
but this one animal to convey all OF
his property and his family to his

miraculously saved from sharing the
fate Of the horse; but the loss OF
this poor animal was enough. BY

even laughed at the predicament in
which the man was placed; but by
degrees a group of people began to
collect, all of whom pltted him Some

said he might have known better
than to try to cross the unsafe bridge

rather to predonlinate. Some pitied
the man and some the horse; all pitied
