LADIES MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING. 



73 



Having written all I think necessary on this subject, I 

 will take leave of my horseback riders, whether ladies 

 or gentlemen, and proceed to discuss the various ills that 

 horse-flesh is heir to, to the best of my ability, and en- 

 deavor to write something to alleviate their sufferings, and 

 at the same time save many a good horse from being con- 

 demned and his owner the price of a new one ; to say 

 nothing of what affection may be entertained for him, 

 supposing him to have been a long-tried, faithful servant.
