The last tribute of respect comes from the family-"In his normal condition there was, there is, no grander, nobler, manlier man." "Tis he old, old fashion, the fashion that came in with our first garments and will last unchanged till our race has run its course and the wide firmament is rolled up as a scroll. The old, old fashion death! Oh, that God, all who see it, for that older fashion yet of immortality, and look upon us, bright angels in Heaven, with regards not quite estranged, when the swift river bears us to the ocean."
