Death Of Brother The Rev. Dr. Naylor.

" The Doctor might have sat for his picture to the poet , when in the following lines , he so pleasingly to the very life describes the worthy rural divine—Unpractised he to fawn or seek for power By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour , Far other aims his heart had learned to prize
, More skilled to raise the wretched than to rise . To raise the wretched indeed his warm , benevolent heart was ever prompt , for his pen and his purse too , as far as it could go , were ever at the service of the needy petitioner . Who , disposed for a similar kindness is not familar with the Doctor ' s autograph for charitable purposes ? Named after Martin Luther , the great reformer , whether with any foreboding paternal presentiment or wish , we know not , but he seemed
to have imbibed no small portion ofthe same spirit , equally firm in what he esteemed duty , but mingled with the milder spirit of a Melancthon or a Zuingle—and as was said of the latter , even by his bitterest enemies , that , " he was a good man , " so in the present instance may the truth be repeated , good in all the qualities which make a man valued and beloved . That such a man should view his last moments with a cheerful calmness is to be expected , and we are happy to know , was most pleasingly
exemplified amidst those filial and tender regards , which occasioned him to say to his medical friend , as he gazed upon his family , that his bed of sickness was attended b y kind ministering spirits . How appropriately hence may it be
