He paid a merited tribute , to his learning, his -piety- and great moral worth, and the loss the Baptist denomination had sustain- ed In this death. . While he dwelt "on his past asVo ' ciatibns with him, as one of his pupils in the Cok we taw of b, hew ever, we 'drew the inference that he was a niao of uncommon simplicity, of macb prac tical common sense, of fine understanding, and of un surpassed purity of heart and of life. There seems to us to bars been something painfully melancholy in the closing scenes of bis histcty. It too often falls to the lot of oar best men, after having occupied high and important posts in society, and having worn them selves out in the cause of the denomination, to end their days in some 'sequestered corner, comparatively un known and oncared for. We do not say that this Was the Jot 61 ' Dr. Chapin ; but from statements which we saw in some- of the papers before his dealb, we can scarcely escape the conclusion thai ke has been loo much neglected. A.conespondent of the New York Recorder under in giving a brief account of ibe exer cises of Columbian College, Washington, adda tbe fol lowing: 'Soon afterfhe exercise of the graduating cla. com menced, or venerable friend, Rev. S. Cbapm, D. D., who had so long presided over tbe interests of that In- siitntion, was called to leave doll mortality and enter upon eternal lite, tor several months pa6t he had teta gradually declining, and his end was a delie hifol illo- tration of the triumphs of faith. In the early tart of his sickness, nis mind was dark, and it was his earnest and incessant prayer that he might glorify God in his last sickness and in his death. That prayer was beard, and for several weeks previous o his death, he wa fa vored in an eminent degree with the divine manifesta tions to his soul. Few perhaps, in modern times, have enjoyed more of the presence of God, or had brighter anticipations of that perfect and unmingled pleasure that snail never enu in ine ceiesuai eraie. Afew moments before h Sell asleep ia Jesu, he said "it seeemed as if heaven had come down to earth;" and the last words he was heard lo utter were, bweet repose in death." These and oilier similar expressions. as well as a eenstsieni godly lite, furnish precious me motials for the relief and consolation of bis surviving friends, and give an additional ill astral ion ol ibe troth and blessedness c4 onr holy religion. The fjineral of Dr. C was attended at his late resi dence by a large number of sympathizing friends. Alter .
