86 WITH GUN AND GUIDE 



"Most of the emotions and passions are well ex- 

 pressed in the soft beaming or the flash of the eye. 

 The pose of the body, the exhibition of weapons, the 

 tremor of the muscles, the lofty, suppliant or shamed

"When we see a dog, himself hungry, carry food 

 safely to his master, or die bravely in that master's 

 defense, how shall we escape the conviction that really 

 noble moral qualities are present in the phenomena ? 

 Notice the warm affection and intelligent understand- 

 ing existing between such widely divergent animals as 

 the dog, the horse, the elephant, the seal, on the one

" The flowers at our feet look up into our faces with 

 expressions so sweet and benign that our imaginations

The good doctor elsewhere says : " One Sunday 

 I found a sick horse lying upon the cold, wet 

 ground. When he saw me he called for help at once, 

 lifted his head, touched his side with his nose, and 

 groaned. I told him I was very sorry for him, and that 

 he must not lie there, but get up and go home, and 

 that he should have a w r arm bed and some medicine. 



" He was too weak and benumbed to rise alone, but 

 he and I combined our forces, and he was soon on his 

 feet, and he led the way with feeble steps. I did not 

 know where his home was, but he showed me.
