KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
Reading edition
The following lines are printed on a board over a watering-trough in Holloway, Bath:—
A man of kindness to his beast is kind, But brutish actions show a brutish mind. Remember, He who made thee made the brute; Who gave thee speech and reason, made him mute. He can't complain, but God's all-seeing eye Beholds thy cruelty and hears his cry. He was designed thy servant—not thy drudge. Remember his Creator is thy Judge.
He acts but a fool's part who aims at heaven, but lives at random.
