As a fond mother, when the day is o’er. Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave bis broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted by promises of others in their stead. Which though n ore epleudid may not please him more ; So nature deals with us and takes away Our playthings, one by one, and by the band Leads us to rest so gently that wc go Scarce kr owing if we wish to go or stay, being ’oo lull oi sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we kaow.—Longfellow. Hon. B C. Pressley. (From the baptist Courier.) It is known to our readers that Judge Pressley intends to retire from the distinguished position be has occupied for the past ten or twelve years, at the close of his present term, which will end in a few mouths. He has been faithful, upright and coascientious in the discharge of his important duties, and at all times he has maintained the dignity and character of a Christian gentleman. It is gratify ing to his friends and bretbrpir throughout the State that the we tubers of his profession unite in according to him the meed i f praise, as he is abi ut to return tbe high tru*t committed to bis care by the State, «ud that he will retire from the bench with the cordial good wishes of the legal fraternity. An instance of their high appreciation was witnessed at Darlington last spring, at the March term ot the Circuit Court, where Judge Press- ley was presiding, and is now made public lor tbe first time. A dis tinguished member of tbe Darling ton liar, at tbe request of his fel low-members, prepared the follow ing to bo addressed to Judge Press- ley at tbe conclusion of the term, but he was prevented from offering it at the time, and we now give it to our readers by consent of its Author. We are sore that it will command apisroval among tbe numerons ftieuds of the eminent jurist: May It Please Your Honor; 1 have been requested by the members of the liar to express to >ou some parting words of our aps pieciation and esteem. And hows ever inadequate to this oflice, it could not have been assigned to more willing lips. Having many sympathies in common with your Houor, it is with peculiar pleasure that 1 a'test my respect and friend ly affection; and that 1 roler to the fidelity at.d ability with which you have discharged the duties of a Jong and honored lie. Whether cbargtd with the interest of piivate individuals, or with public trusts; whether invested with the cares of State nr national atfairs; whether snuggling with strong aud earnest ARtagouisU ju the arena of ihe pro- lesMion, or grappling with the prm ciples ot the law ou the Bench, as declared anti administered by legis lature aud jurists, it has been your good fortune t > muster every task both as to ability and integrity, it is good that the traditional dignity ot tRe Bench in South Carolina has not suffered in jour hands; u is better still that no taint of the Irailties that mar great characters is fouud upon tbe ermiue as you feturu it to the wardrobe of this Commonwealth. It is true, sadly true, that in human affairs, no genuine lile has ever met and striven with its duties without jostling otbeis aud jarring the chords ol human symphonies. In the excite ment and uxieties of trying mo ments we olten feel the sting of inconsiderate thrusts or ill-advised expressions, which hurt most be-s cause they come from the most honest friends or the highest au thority. But when the divine that is in our shaken vessels awakes aud stills the storm we can see with a singe eye and healthy judgment. It is a happy thing tor us to come io these strophes, aud well that we mark tbe yirtues of those who have served us, and expnss our >‘well done” in giving the parting hand It is tbe proud inheritance of humanity that in the poorest heart there is a vein of troth, aud ,wh«n it falls to the good fortune 4f some to discover richer mines than others, we do well to mark such characters and make their virtues our inspir lion More than a de cide your honored life has been spent in giving letsons of industry aud honesty to the people. It is thrice happy to be a seed sower of good: the trait will be gathered in due season—the reward in God’s lime. May He make your remain- jog years as peaceful an the even- leg, and as useful as peaceful; aud when the ephemeral mystery of earth’s duties aud privileges has .closed, nsher you into the realiza Mon of the Christian’s hope. estmg to bear something of a new sect that has sp uug up in Sumter and some of the adjoining counties. Some years ago a man named Boyle, who bad been a Methodist, and who resided near Lynchburg, in Sumter County,' conceived the idea of founding a new church, tiis followeis were at first called ‘‘True Light Baptists,” but they are com monly known as “Boyleites.” Tiiey have spread up both sides of Lynch es River, through Sumter, Darling ton, Kershaw and Cjiesterficld counties, and perhaps faVther, tak ing hold ot the lowest aud most ig norant classes. It is not a larj. e denomination, and, thanks to the intelligence of our land, never can be; but its followers ate very stub born in tbeir belief, so that it is al most impossible to reclaim one of them. “Their most prominent aud pop ular doctrine is that it is an unpar donable sin for a preacher to re ceive pay for his work, and this closes their ears to the efforts of Tegular ministry They have no regular ministers, but claim that every member of their church is in- spued of God to interpret the Scrip tures, thus making every one of both sexes ministers of the Go-pel. It is not uncommon ior women to preach among them. Another fa vorite dogma is that they consti tute the only true followers of Gcd, and that all other denominations are heading straight for the devil* They believe in immersion, of course, but witb this distinction—that it must be administered by one of tbeir communion to be of any avail. They reject the Old Testament en tirely, and receive only such por tions of the New Testatm* nt as suit their purpose, rejecting as uuiu spired any passages that an* oppos ed to their peculiar beliefs. “They claim that the observance of the Sabbath was abiogated along with the Levitical law, and hence reject Sunday as a day to be ob served in the worship of God. They perform ortliuary work tu Sunday or engage in any sports that they desire, and have been seen dancing ou that day. They believe in the damnation of infants ot unbelieving (Non Boyleite) parents who die in infancy. They believe in the social equality of racee. Just what else they believe in I am unable to.say. They fiounsb ar mud Mai»h<ili’s Church*, in iln Kast Kersh 1 w Oi r - cuit, and have diuretics i f their own in some portions ot Kershaw County. ‘•As a rule, dense ignorance pre vails where they fiomish. I heaid a man say not long since lhat he once taught sshool in a neighbor hood where they now claim a ma jority of the people as their >«Ght- rents, and that only two out of six ty pupils in his school knew iheir letters wh.'U they lirsi came to Inin. Generally they will not p»unit a minister of rhe Gospel to read the Scriptuies or engage in prayiriu tleir houses; audit they c ucedc that much to him they laugh and talk while ho prays, and pay no at teutiou wnaiever to hin. ” True Lights, or Bine Lights.
