Nature.
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. ”
