ranunshot." To me it appeared as "d dest" 



work to slaughter God's cattle for sport. "They 

 were made for us," say these self-approving 

 preachers; "for our food, our recreation, or 

 other uses not yet discovered." As truthfully 

 we might say on behalf of a bear, when he 

 deals successfully with an unfortunate hunter, 

 "Men and other bipeds were made for bears, 

 and thanks be to God for claws and teeth so 

 long." 



Let a Christian hunter go to the Lord's 

 woods and kill his well-kept beasts, or wild In- 

 dians, and it is well; but let an enterprising 

 specimen of these proper, predestined victims 

 go to houses and fields and kill the most worth- 

 less person of the vertical godlike killers, — 

 oh! that is horribly unorthodox, and on the 

 part of the Indians atrocious murder! Well, 

 I have precious little sympathy for the selfish 

 propriety of civilized man, and if a war of races 

 should occur between the wild beasts and Lord 

 Man, I would be tempted to sympathize with 

 the bears.
