More Kind to Animals than to Human Beings.

The Superintendent of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says: An old German womAn, living in Rivington street, often comes to us with sick cats She gathers up all the destitute tabbies she can find and brings them to us. Yet once when accosted by a beggar in front of our office she became very indignant, and refused to help that human being. She will carry a dog or a cat to our office on any day, even if it is troubled with mange. Some, people like cats and dogs; others would come three miles to inform us where there is a lame horse. A tramp dog won’t follow a man, but some women who are out shopping will get the animal to follow them to our office. A Frenchwoman in Bleecker street has a partiality for cats. An Englishwoman up town has a partiality for birds. If she finds any' l suffering from cold she will tell us of it, and if we find the complaint to be well founded we clean the cage or remove the bird from any chance of overcrowding.—New York Commercial Advertiser. r. . - Il is no advantage to have a lively mind if we are not just. The perfection of the pendulum is not to go fast, qut to bo regular. _
