We saw the other day a long
legged, pursillanimous caricature
of a boy, aged about sixteen or
seventeen years, kick a poor dog
violently in the ribs because the
poor canin fawned upon him a
little, asking HIM for sympathy.
1t is our prediction that this boy
will come to some bad end. He
has not in his whole system
enough human kindness to en-
able him to live through the
space of a natural life. This boy
would strike the mother that
brought him into the world Just
as readily as he struck the poor
dog. We do not know his name
and we hope never to see him
again for the reason thar if we
did we would be lmpelled to ad
minister to him the same treat
ment which he accorded to his
superior on the occasion above
referred to.
