reception Of Religious.

| On the 9th inst. we had the pleasure of
witnessing the reception into religious life of
two young ladies' Miss Mary Lynch, of Vlcks.
burg, and Miss Susan Mcdonald of Ftrmaugh,
| Ireland, the former becoming Sister Mary
Bridget, and the later. Sstery Mary Martha
These ladies took the white veil in the Order
of the Sisters of Mercy, at their convent on
st. Andrew street in this city. Rev. Father
Gesen, c. IS. r. who cfficiated at the altar
during the beautiful and touching ceremonies
prescribed by the Church for such an event
made an impress address to the candidates
in his usual felicitous STYLE He wildly con-
trasted the entire sacrifice which they were
making of every worldly pleasure, with the
slight self-denials SO gingerly conceded and
oftentimes positively refused by tb, great
majority of Christians. Parties, balls, thea
tres, novel reading, dangerous associations
were now absolutely and perpetually abjured
with q generosity of which the ordinary
Christian seemed incapable.
On the other hand, we could not help think
ing that the balance of real pleasure would be
decidedly in favor of that life which the
newly made religious were taking in ex change
for the other. Everything around US was
symbolic of peace and joy. An atmosphere of
serenity anu uSpplueBS peEVaceO inc very
place. The altar was lovely with radiance and
harmonizing colors; the bresthings of sweet
melodies attuned the soul to a repose beyond
the power of jarring passions, and, above all
the seal of hope and love was plainly set upon
the features of those who had already expe
rienced she hidden sweets of Gods special
| service.
We are glad to chronicle this accession o.
strength to an Order so highly esteemed and
so universally useful that of the Sisters o.
Mercy. The works which they undertake ar
almost incredible in extent and variety, tn,
only wonder being how they can meet all thei
requireme nts with the limited number of thei
members. 1t is, therefore, with a sense Of re
\ lief that we hear of their hands beiDl
strengthened, assuran ce being at the same tim
given that the good already done will be re
peated in the future on scale perhaps large
still.

South Carolina.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina has
ordered the Board of Canvassers to limit
their agency to the mere counting of the
immense satisfaction. But little reflection
lie calculated to moderate the enthusiasm
somewhat.
There are persons who seem to think
that, as the Board of Canvassers cannot
revise the vote, no other tribunal can do
80, and that consequently the election will
have to stand just as the votes shall have
been cast in the ballot boxes. But this is
evidently unreasonable. There must be
some way of correcting errors aud frauds,
and the Supreme Court could not possibly
have meant that neither the Board of Can
vassers nor any other tribunal had power to
examine judicial)y into the leg Atty of the
vote.
Ifthat be the case, then what is gained
The simple result will be to transfer from
the Board to the Supreme Court, immedi
ately or mediately, all questions of correct
ing returns. Is there any victory in this
Is the Supreme Court of South Carolina
more honest than the Board of Canvassersi
We do not know that, but we do know that
it is more capable of covering up
villainous transaction under the guise of
law and of dignifyipg it with the garb of
judicial sanction.
1t may be that the Supreme Court is
acting in good faith, or it may be that it is
acting under instructions from Washington,
to effect the same end with better grace
We must wait for developments.

Of che pastor. At meeting after meeting, with

with not Q word of comment, but throwing all
the comment into the modulation of his voice
