Over twenty six years have pass ed away since I made tbe acquaint ance of Dr. Bachman, and when 1 call bade through days gone by bis appears**, snd when 1 endeavor to picture his character as he appeared te me when iu the last days of his life, even when bis bodily infirmities prevented him from leaving his I feel a deep gratitude for known him. 1 found one striking feature in my old tricud— to wss from tto first to tbe last day of our acqnaintanoe tbe same kind aad loved friend—the name good ■***- l to** ppmwfl «te«y Jmmhv days ia his oomi>any—many happy hours, aad much have 1 to remember and cherish of him which will fill me through life, and be with me to the very last hour. One of my strong and brightest hopes is that 1 shall be permitted to meet him in that land of glory. And first of all alter my own family, 1 shall go to look for him. reran it me to give you the picture of three days, out of many, that we spent together. I believe it is now nearly twenty six years since the General Synod met in thischurch, and daring tto session of this body an cxcandou was kindly offered to them by which they were able to go up tto Cooper Hirer many miles. The ministers and lay delegates were glad of tto opportunity offered them by onr people, to see something of the sum Minding country and of tto {leculiar then existing institution of slavery. The sun was shining at his height and was sending down his rsys apon us so that we soon all sought tbe shade. All at once 1 called to Dr. Bachman : Here is something for yon. f always loved nature, though I mold not look so deeply iuto it as m> friend. 1 had found a number of bats all banging together. He was very glad to find them ; he wmrdeep ly interested te the bats, as be was at this time preparing a work on this auimal, tto loss of which work has torn jlfet referred to. 1 had the pleasure then of bearing, in this most fitting place, a lecture on na ture w hich was a real treat. Uuder the free oanopy of heaven, we were admitted to this one from nature’s owm pulpit. One of tbe brethren inadvertently asked him wliat fhe bat* were good for. Then f had tto pleasure of see I had Mng the mind of the naturalist. He said the bats are made. If for no other purpose, that by them we may investigate nature and see the works of tbe God of nature who has made »H things with greatness and wis- flwm. ** *'•*“ sto I mast add another experience of a few years later.
