836 APPENDIX.
Yet a better, a less troubled star of his glory, was then about to rise
upon his vision, and bear him calmly, peacefully, resignedly, and confidently upward, even to the bosom of his everlasting God.
To his friends, and especially to those who knew him best, there is left
this undying consolation, that never did man pass, in a useful sphere of
activity, through the duties, obligations, and trials of life with more uniform composure and evenness of judgment and temper, with less of the
taints of the pollutions of the world upon him, than did our departed and
lamented friend. As a son, as a brother, as a husband especially, and as
a friend of his kind everywhere and however circumstanced, his life was
unexceptionable, and in every phase exemplary. Iis own home was the
abode of his soul's pleasures and yearnings, and, without ostentation, it
was the fulness of human happiness to every inmate. Although without
children to weep his absence. the tears of a devoted wife, and the hallowed thoughts of endeared friends, will forever linger there, until the
changes of earth and time shall order all hence and away.
Mr. Sadler was a native of Grafton, Mass., and was aged a few months
more than fifty-one years. He has a brother, Judge E. B. Sadler, residing
at Sandusky, Ohio; another, Mr. C. C. Sadler, a merchant in Philadelphia:
another, Mr. Wm. W. Sadler. in New-Haven; another, Mr. Manlius Sadler, in Brookport, N. Y.; and one other, whose name we have not, residing in Buffalo, N. Y.-to each and all of whom the deceased was greatly
endeared. Besides his labors to which we have alluded, he was, at times,
a contributor to the editorial department of two or more religious periodicals, and published one or more treatises upon his religious doctrines.
But in nothing of his productions is there any mark of acerbity or other
feeling inconsistent with a well-disciplined benevolence and forbearance
toward all men.
And it was the will of his Master in heaven, that was ever present to
his mind as the ruling guide of all his actions. Well may the loss of
such a man be deplored within and without the circle of his labors.
As a mark of regard for his memory, the officers of each of the six
connecting railroads between New-York city and the city of Portland accorded to his remains and their attendants the freedom of their roads on
their sorrowful mission to and from his tomb.
