Such were the words of the wise man of ancient time?, and ihey are aa applicable to-day as in ancient timea. Yet there aie men to-day whu do not seem to realize the truth of this proverb, but treat the biule creation asf things inaniiuate without a sense o feeling or a knowledge of pain. Help- lessness puts the brute creation at th** mercy of such creatures, who in soiue instances are little higher than the brutes over which ihey have dominion. Fortu- nately the sinners in this regard arc becoming fewei ever? day, owing to a clearer knowledgo of the fact that pain and suffering is a c jramon heritage to both man and beaat, and also to the knowledge that pain reacts upon the physical frame, causing more or less deterioration in the living tissue and le.^seniug the value thereof.
