The annexed article, from the Temperance
Union," is but just tribute to the memory OF
one of our best citizens, and one of the most
efficient and consistent friends of the Tempe
rance cause.


Doctor SEwALL was long resident OF our
city, and was held in the highest esteem by
large circle of friends. His medical brethren
have already spoken in regard to his skill, and
the loss which the whole profession has sus-
tanned by his death. He was, indeed, the early
and efficient friend of the Temperance cause,
and came forward nobly to its support, when,
what has become mighty army, was only
little band. Other cities and countries have
been blest by his efforts, in connexion with
this great movement; but, in this city especl-
ally, we have been permitted to share most
largely in his benevolent exertions. How
many have been saved, by his influence, from
the evils of intemperance? How many homes
have here been made to rejoice? How many
bleeding hearts have been healed and COM
forted, by his noble and generous efforts?


Few men have ever enjoyed, to greater
II
the subject Of this brief notice. His crowning
excellence consisted in his ardent, but unos-
rentatious piety. The church Of which he was
member, and liberal supporter for many
years, mourns his removal. The religion Of
the Bible, which gave lustre to his life, i'm
parted strong support in the dying hour. Pre-
pared for that solemn event, he met it with
composure, and triumph, and has passed away,
from the fields Of usefulness and honor, on
earth, to the land Of immortal blessedness and
glory. Although the death of DR.. Sewall oc-
Cured before the first number of our paper
was issued, we could not deny ourselves the
melancholy pleasure, Of presenting to our read
ers, the just tribute which follows. They will
more than justify US, in the record which we
now make of departed worth.-ED.
