[Written for The Sumter Watchman.] ?e First Rest Day, -OR YOUNG ITINERANT. Header, hare you ever had much ac intance with that nondescript, siti? ?is, cosmopolite class of men called bj e vulgar, "Circuit Hiders ?" Well the iter bas, and proposes to let you into e secret mysteries of a youDg in tine* nt's start. It would have interested u to see bim launch out on his iutin ant career, when the ways were all eased, and the wedges knocked away, d he came sliding down into the broad eao of ministerial labor and responsi lity. But as you did not see the unch, and it is ajl over, you must be nteut with a photographic picture of e cveu-t. Well, that is hs over there, packing s saddle bags-thin, pale and weigh? ga little over one hundred pounds.- ! his is thc third ti tue he has unpacked j d repacked lhose saddle-La-s. Ile ts ? ying to fiud out if he can do with I wer garments so as to lesson thc bulk d stifl'uess of his saddle bags, but | ally determines that he. absolutely ' eds every thing he puts in, and th? gs are as stiff and -trauht as a board, he father aud mother, brothers and sters are *11 there, and a tow friends lave come to say "good bye."

The partios kiss is ven, aud the hand shaken, Selim isl ouu:ed, a tear drups, and is responded by many tears fruin the loved ones, j d the young itin?rant is ou his way his first circuit. Young N. had just graduated at the : ollege C., bituated io -'the city by thc a," anti with a -iocere heart be ie ouuees ali that the world offers for an uinole place IL the ranks ol' tlc . C.

The ireuit is 150 miles distant, in th?" illy portion of thc State, and .Selim ^as almost as unused to travel as wa> is master. Both had been reared in he city arid equally unacquainted with [ountry lib. The first day's travel wa> j nmarked by any special event, only i hat the night lodging cost $2.50, and j ext morning found our young hero, so re and st;ff that it was difficult for ni to mount his steed. In fact, there terned to have commenced a mutual epul>ion, as the colt's back had become O sore, that he was not especially de irons to bc tm tinted, and there was a Eorresponding soreness on the body of he young parson coming in contact rith the saddle ; but with the aid of be hostler and landlord, after a few rials he succeeded, and he is on the ?econd ?lays journey. The sun which fad shed but feeble rays thc day before, ow shown with brighter glare, at. J the young parson raises his umbrella, but DO sooner is the attempt made, than Selim starts and seems to fancy that h 1 }s on a race course, and his duty to win horace. Away he went in Gilpin tile, leaving first, umbrella, then sad pie bags, then cloak, then saddle Hari? et lar behind But fortunately th^ ^oudg parsoo managed to hang on un il the race was over, then reiuiug up, J>oly lost a mile in distance, an hour n time, a li'tie unpleasant exercise and fn increased soreness of the parts al. eady bruised, and wiih the assistance I fa kind darkey,got all things right gain, and pursued the even tenor ?f [his way. The young parson's medita tions were now a compound of pieasur . and pain. Pleasure, that although not much accustomed te ride he bad been able to hang on, and escape -without iflaier'ul damage; and pain in view of the rays of the sun, and che probability of rain sooner or later during some pe? riod of his itiperaot life. JHe philoso? phized himself however into a quiet sute of mind sod sped on bis journey. At night he put up_ wjth .a Methodist brother, who, with the; fan(tl* seemed ttuch pleased at entertaining a yoong Methodist preacher, and in considera? tion, ooly charged $1.25 for the night.

Young N's 1 sault within him at the thought of tering such a house in his present dition. He soliloquised, "Nice p< live there. lani dirty and worn 'twill uever do for me to go there, where else can I go?

Ile attempts to ali Iron) his boise, but what with g soarncss, stiffness of limbs, and sade ba^s in thc way, he's is unsuccessful Ile tries again, bat with about the s: success. "Let me help you," said fair lady, kindly, bud with the aid of getitle haud, and an honest effort the part of the you.igparson, begets terra firma once tr:;.re. aud with a hi ling gate makes his way to the hoi Ile is introduce 1 to Mrs U. and t fascinating young ladies, M Us Mary i Miss Annie, relatives of the fair h who had first greeted our young hero Mrs. I*, was a Methodist lady, livi twelve miles distaut in the country, t miles lrom where the young parson i tn preach his next sermon, after c day of rest. Just starting home, t says, ' you preach at our church, ci atti r to morrow." The parson consu his pian, and replies, "according to l plan, I preach at B thlehem, ten .mi distant from this place." "That is c church," she -aid, "and as to morrow a re-f day. }<>u mu-t come out eal after breakfast, spend the day with i and you will bc only two miles from t church, and we wiil all qo cv together." "How shall I find' t way ?" asked thc preacher, "0, yi cannot mis? it,"said she, "just take i thc big road and follow it Torten mile and you will see ajeft hand ueighbo hood road, which will fake you in ti iii les to our house. We live just tweh miles from town," "very well, I that you, t'will he pleasant to spend a re day with you and be so near the churn I shall come." Now let us look at cur young frien he had just completed a horse bac journey of i;>0 miles, h iving never rot 40 miles ii? this way before in his lif with as lit'le experience in preaching j io ho.se back riding, his garments a S died and dusty, and those in hissaddh bags, mashed and stained by the persp ration of his horse, so as neither to b plesaut to the eye Dor olfactories, ba ate but little breakfast, and no dien* with head acheiog as though it woul burst, and reeling and totteriog woe he walked, as a druukeo mao, aod ye requi ed to preach that night, but h dares no demur ! He saw from th very tone and manner of the fair lady that preach he must, and he quiet! submits to his fate. ile is now ia an elegant sleepin; .apartment ell alone-thinks of bomi and all the dear ones left behind, bea/ the bell which gives notice that be w.l preach, all the responsibilities of bil position crowd upon ?Vim, and over whelmed, he throws himself upon bi knees, a flood of scalding tears flo? down his cheeks and with heavy groan) seeks the divine aaaUtaoce, aud hean thc soft, sweet, whisper ic bis heart "Lo ! I am with you always even to th? eud of tne world," sod theo with ai encouraged heart goes to the chorea tc preach his first sermon on a cireoit.~ Everybody was out, even to Squire Ion F- who it waa stud, had trot bees-' al church for ten years. The fe crane Wai full, and without intending any injustic? I to the yoong parson, I will only add, that it waa oevef as full it so* appoinU moot cf his afterward. After breakfast, according io previous arrangemeot. Selim is brought ont, and,all tba famihj come to the door to bid tba yoaaa>par aon adie*, litare is toe old and ronera ble gentles**** toa head of iamily, i bis young and hnu?M wife, M^m^ j tating rr fearawi,oars a* rh^hsf pcrwn. ?aad tho two elsgwfc rala&tT&f :o!r??u ? fair young wife. And DOW, according to the popular phrase, the scene beggars description. The repulsion which had been gradually increasing, on iioeouDt of the soreness OD Selim's badi, ?nd the equal soreness of the young parson's body, had arrived at their maximum, w!-ich together with the stiffened limbs of the young parson's, sod the stiff saddle? bags, made every attempt at mounting the steed fruitless. A chair was brought by Miss Annie and held by her and fier sister, hut what good was a chair with a dancing horse ! The old gentleman came out and lent assistance. The three ladies did ali they could. Tom thc hostler held the horse by the bridle, but Selim seemed to think it was a grand frolic, he danced round, reared, kicked, ran forward, whirled round, and to tell the truth without exposing the young parson too much, he did not kaow how to mount a horse, having ! oever done enough of it to learn bow, I and ander the most favorable circum? stances, it were an awkward job, but ?ow with those saddle bags, straight out, coming in contact with his leg at every attempt to throw it over, his stiffness, soreness, and the incorrigible restless? ness of the horse, made it a matter out of the question. But it must be done and no mistake, so here goes for another trial. The saddle is adjusted by the old gentleman. Tom the hostler, in a broad grin in which every tooth in his head shines, holds the horse, the fair lady stands beside ber husband on the right and Miss Annie and Miss Mary on thc left, and now one more desperate effort is to be made, but Selim throws his head up, whirls round, Miss Annie's dress skirt is nearly torn off, and Miss Marys foot is badly hurt. The oW gentle man, whose patience has been suffering for some time, with a loud and half angry voice cries out, Tim, Harry, Ben, Joe, Peter, come here. They all appear. Then in a voice accustomed to command he says, "Loys hold that colt, and put this young man on him." The gordian knot is cut, foi no sooner said than ! done. In a moment the young parson j finds himself uncerimoniously lifted j higher than he was want to be, and ( while some hold the horse, the others j put him over the difficulty of stiff saddle? ! bags and all, and he is landed safely in j the saddle. Oe feels rather cheap, his ; face burns with blushes, the girl? seem half sorry and half amused, and lifting his hat, he gracefully bows adieu to the ladies, the old gentleman grumbles out ' good bye, the ladies ware their hanker ; chiefs and our young hero is fairly on his way to spend his first rest day at Mrs. ITs. The directions are plain-ten miles up the big road, and then two miles to the left, and the twelve milts will make the journey. The prospect of relief from the incessant trituration of the saddle, and a pleasant day's rest with an agreeable family, cheers th? heart of our you og parson, and though he suffers at every movement of the horse he hopefully moves forward, until his eyes rest upon the ten mile post A gentle? man approaches, "Sir, can you tell me the neighborhood road which leads from this to the house ct Mrs. UV "Mrs. U! Mrs. ?! Do you mean the widow U?" "Yes," responds the parson." Why, she does not live on this road at ali. Yon should have turned square off to the left, a mila from the village." W Uh a heavy heart the young parson asks, "How shall I best get there?" "Go right back until you come to tbs fork one mile from the village, theo go nine mile.', and two miles to the left of that road, lives thc widow." "Theo I will have to travel twenty miles before I get there." "Yes," be replies, "unless you are a good hand to follow the direc lion." "If so, you cai. take this road" pointing to a dull road to the left, ''which will bring you out at Col, B'n, and yon will save six or seven mile?.1' "Well sir, I'll try it." In quite a gloomy state of mind the paxton atarte off. fie takes the road to the. left, which aesas to do very well for about foar mile*, when suddenly he'is confronted by a set of draw-bare, the road ?tops there--ride? back emile end finds e fork which, he did cot notice,.tries that, tat it MOD gives oat? rides beck ferioer, tries ra? ther a dabool path which leads hi? into a plainer road, wkieh, ?foji?*e> **4. theo be arrives st s point where wide ?lead ia every dtreeiiesv He tries first one -thea another. ;n {Thej all either lead up io fe**#: or into the wood?, sad perfec+iy Jissrt efrk^wom ott, sud itUs from firnuog, iori* w.?JH?4?i* ? *?* afternoon, in .despsir, ?w threw? the reina en Ssta^fc gd jut wtar* eur^ew^ was the fair young wife, and the two elegant young: ladies, Miss Annie and Misa Mary, who heard with mach in? terest and sympathy the story of his first days. rest.
