(By special request of one of our est friends we republish this poem). 'hey say they are going to shoot you, Old Billy, but don't you fret, or the fellow who dares to meddle with you must reckon with me, you bet; ou're a poor old horse, Old Billy. and you aren't worth much, it is true; ut you've been a faithful friend to me, and I'll see you safely through. hoot Old Billy ? I guess not, though you may be old and gray; y the self-same stretch of mercy they'll be shooting at me some day; or I'm three times older than you are, for I've reached three score and ten; .nd shooting isn't the thing to do to horses no more than men. hat's right, Old Billy, I like it your muzzle against my face; Te've had rattling times together, and once we won the race o you remember it, Billy, the dude that we downed that day? .nd the way he swore, that an old rarm-horse should show his trotter the way' haver't much love for the fellows who follow the shooting plan: they had more pity for horses and dog.p. they'd have more love for man' nd this world would be mach nearer the glad millennium day they 'd just stop burning powder for good and fire their guns away. ell. Billy, we're both great sinners, for we 'ye both grown old, you know; nd we 'ye only a little further adown the road to go; 'o we '11 fare along together till the Master calls us home o the happy Home-Land stables, and our feet forget to roam. es, we've jogged along together for many and many a day, o we'll just keep on a-jogging to the ending of the way; nd at last, when the shadows falling shall tell the time for rest, e will meet them, nothing fearing, for you know we've done our best. n 't it be jolly,, Old Comrade, in the pastures green and fair, To roll in t.he fragrant clover that must bloom forever there? ou '1 be there, Billy, I know it, for they 'll surely let you in only wish my record on earth was a quarter as free from sin. [iey tell us that horses have no souls, and they all declare it true; [at shows how little they know, Old Boy, and it proves they don't know you; ell, well, 'tis a mighty question, and quite beyond my ken at the more I know of horses liLe you, the less I brag about men. ow, trot away to the pasture and hear the thrushes sing; nd list to tihe children playing, and hear how their voices ring; e the white clouds drifting over, hear the cooling brooklet 's flow-L Cis sweet, glad world, Old Billy, and we'll stay till we have to go. hoot Old Billy! By ginger! they better not try that on; or the man who draws a gun on you will wish he'd never been born; hey say it will cost to keep you! all right, you have earned it fair; o don't -you worry, old friend of mine, you shall have your honest share. o 'ye been a good horse, Old Fel low, steady and brave and true; ou have given us faithful service done all that a horse could 0; o have earned your keep; you ball have it; so live as long as you can 'or justice is justice, and right is right, whether its horse or man.
