THE STORY Of HIS LIFE AND LABORS.
The venerable John Bachman died
at hia residence, in this city, y—tor
day, February 34th, la the eighty
fifth year of his age. The rceoflee-
tkra of his pastoral labors lingers
fondly in the remembrance of this
people; the memory of hto literary
work is wall-kept by the citixens of
the world of science; the thought of
his pare and holy life is cherished
everywhere. After long waiting, hia
life's career accomplished, he enjoys
tbe rest for which he prayed. He
Fell like autumn that mellowed long
• Even wondered at because he dropped
no sooner.
Fate seemed to eind him ap for four
score years,
Yet freshly ran he on ten winters mott
Till, like a clock, worn out with sating
time,
The wheels of weary life at last sto
still.
HIS LIFE AND PASTORATE.
The Rev. John Bachmao, Pb. D n
D. D. t LL. D.j was born on Tntoday,
February 4th, 1790, in Rhiaebeek,
Datchess County, N. Y. He w
descended from an old German fami
ly, although his first American an
cestor came from Switzerland to this
country as the private secretary of
William Penn. During his child
hood he knew nothing of the German
language, bat in after life he spoke
and wrote German witk great fluen
cy. Tbe old settlers In Dutchess
county, and indeed in aD that part of
New York State, spoke Dutch, but
English was, of coarse, the language
of the schools and of the more culti
vated classes. Dr. Bachman first
acquired his knowledge of German at
college, and afterwards made him
self master of that and other modern
languages daring his visit to Europe.
His father, like other farmers around
hipi in those days, waa a slaveholder,
and to the last years of his long lift
pr. Bachman took oeoaston, from
time to time, as opportunity offered,
to make inquiry concerning the tote
of the negroes who were the compan
ions of his Under years. He has
often been heard to speak of those
former bondmen, and lament the tote
that had befallen them. When sla
very was abolished in the State of
New York, the most, if not all, af j
them went to the large cities, where
dissipation, consumption sad other
calamities overtook them, and in n
majority of instances materially
shortened their live*
Dr. Bachman received a liberal
education, and at the early age of
twenty-three was licensed by the Lu
theran Synod of New York, having
been previously elected pester oc
three congregations in the vleiatty
of bis own neighborhood in Rent-
visible la the hetfeovsrsd graves

Hts PERSONAL CHARACTER.
'There was something simple and
child-like in tee character of Dr.
Bachman which inspired confidence
almost instantaneously. He was al
ways et home with children, end for
children, and cheerfully gave hit
time and Labor to instruct and en
tertain the Uule cue*. About 1850
the Sunday School Visiter s as estab
lished in Charleston by tee M. E.
Chareh, Route, edited by Rev.
Thomas O. Summers, D. D, He
asked bis friend, Dr. Bachman, to
ooutribute articles on zoology for
this journal. The venerable divine
thought it not beneath himself, bat
ferutohsd an article oa some bird or
animal for each number of tee Vieitar
for several year* These sketches,
off hand, though they were, showed
the master hand. It was science
popularised, not aa is loo much the
fnohioit oow-a-dsy by hack-writers
who “read up* for tbe occasion, but
aa Uwwtol popularised aetrouomy.
Hs could make everything dear aad
iatolligibto, becawsc he had a perfect
comprehension of it himself. What
ever he touched he adorned j for the
kern, rip* intellect was always
guidad by a spirit of justice, and
tempered by a loving heart—Veir#
