tFrom the n T. Times OF Monday]
At the close Of the morning sermon, Mr..
Deechcr paused moment, and then in voicc
trtmnlous with deep emotion, which sent
thrill throughout the vast congregation, he
proceeded to eay, in substance:
Last night, at o'clock, at the ripe age Of
Eight y-scvcn, my vcneratcd father went to his
eternal rest. His life was singularly blame
lcss-smplc, constant, full Of the noblest
10 the cause to which he early conso-
Grated his powers. For about year and
3ulf Ills mental condition has been exceed
7ngly feeble and child like. He has been like
= tTavelcr who had packed his trunk, In an
1icIpa:ion Of a Journey, and, expecting every
now the long expected journey has been
made. Tic has reached the place where, all
lis mental powers unlocked, not as here on
earth, but with every faculty frightened, and
every sense glori1ed, he can employ them as
,.crcr before in the service Of lis divine mas
7er. lie had long been ready to depart. Al
most the last ecntient act Of his life occurred
shout two years ago, when, on his recovery
from styere sickness, he called for that
1'assagc." After reading multitude OF pas
Fages, for he WAS unable to designate the par
ticul.r ono he desired, the reader opened, by
1hc good providence Of God, to these verses: !:
t'For am now ready to be offered, and the
time Of my departure Is at hand. I hare
fought good tight, I have finished my COURSE
! have kept lie faith; henceforth there is laid
up for nc a crown Of righteousness, which
1he Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give
unto me at that day; and not to me oulyH-
THY were proceeding to read further, but
1:sy fathcr cried "Stop! that Is not for ME!
1hia is my testimony; write it down as mine. !"
And think lie could use those words Us fully
and IS Justly as the man that wrote them.
One Of the most touching characteristics Of
Lis Later years was his afectionatc remem-
warfare His heart clung with peculiar ten.
derncss to the memory Of Taylor, Evarts,
Cornelius and Wisncr. He loved them all,
but especially Taylor. And in his Last
wears, md in his dying hours, hia
fluart turned not to Boston, the scene o1
1is brightest tEiu1uphs; not to Brooklyn,
where for 50 many gears he has lived SO nea!
nur beautiful Greenwood, from where shall
rise 80 many On the Last Day, when thetrum
net Aha1l sound which only they who are call
I'd shall hear; not even TO Litchfeld, where
lies buried the wife Of his youth. for whom ht
cherished an the tender affection which hi
loving nature could lavish upon tho object
but Ills last request was, Lag me by the sid,
Of brother Taylor" And there, In the oil
graveyard at New Haven, shall repose, side b,
Eide, the bodies Of these two. Christian sol
tlicrs and heroes, until the day when the,
ehaIl rise glorificd and incorruptiblc, to dwc1
forever before the face Of God In Heaven.
MIR. Bcecher's voice, which trembled wit
emotion all through his brief but very toucf
3ng emarks, gave way entirely at this poln
and after few moments pause he close
by giving notice that the funeral service
would be held in Tie church on Wednezda
afternoon at two o'clock.
