Cruelty of Man.

A London, Eng., paper says: “At a tame deer hunt the other day, in which ‘gentlemen’ and ‘ladies’ and hounds took part, a deer, with an eye torn out by a barbed-wire fence, exhausted and fallen into a ditch, was given whisky in the effort to stimulate it to run further so that the pack of men, women, and dogs might chase it.” Is it a wonder that the spirit of war and killing is increasing, when such things are called sport by the ruling and influential classes? The religion of Christ indulges in no wanton cruelty for self-gratification.
