Dumb Animals Shed Tears

Many people believe that horses do not vveep, but those who have had much to do with these faithful creatures know that on several occasions they will shed tears as well as express sorrow in themo6t heartbreakingmanner. In the west, vvhere the hardiness of the ponies causes the riders to almost overlook the necessity of providing for their needs,"it is quite common, whcn the weather is extremely cold, to to leave an unblanketed pony tied up for two or three hours when the temperature is nearly zero, and while its owner is transacting business or getting drunk. In this case the suffering is evidenced by cries which are almost like sobs, and the unmistakable tears freezo onto the cheeks like icicles. When a horse falls in the street and gets injured the shock generally numbs its senses so much that it does not either cry or groan, but under some conditions an injured horse will solicit sympathy in the most distinct manner. I remember a favorite horse of my own, writes a correspondent of the New York TelegTam, which trod on a nail long enough to pierce its foot. The poor thing hobbled up to me on three legs and cried as nearly like a child in trouble as anything I can describe. The sight was a very touching one, as was also the crippled animáis gratitude when the nail was pulled out and the wound dresscd. An iiiiant mluiry- I'.aby farmiog.
