RECOLLECTIONS OF MEN AND HORSES 



memory will not be celebrated with tears, but 

 admiration ! " 



The foundations of health were sapped before the 

 harvest usually is ripe for the Reaper, and Henry 

 C. McDowell stepped from the cheerful sunlight 

 into darkness. The last time I saw him fortitude had 

 deserted him, and emotion was expressed by the 

 tears which wet his cheeks. With tottering foot- 

 step he passed from public view, and found, I hope, 

 that sweet repose which is the reward of the faithful. 

 The memory of his chivalrous nature in the effulgent 

 glory of manhood will always abide with me.
