RECRUITING. DIR w. NJ. Cornell of Phil
adelphia, in his address at the meeting for
recruiting at the Old South church, gave some
amusing and interesting anecdotes of some
of the Quakers. One merchant said to his
clerk, James, is thee going to the war ??'
No." said James " l have not thought OF
going; suppose l should lose my place, if j
60" "Thee will be likely to lose thy place
if thee don't 60 James," A young man, orig.
inally from a Quaker family, who had volun-
teered, concluded to visit his grandmother
before he left for the war. In his uniform
he presented himself to the venerable Quake
ress. "William," said she, "thee seems to
be in strange Dress" "Yes, l have enlist
ed and am going to the war" Well, VIII
liam, if thee feels it to be thy duty to 90 to
the war, l hope thee riH not be shot IN the
back" 4 rich Quaker, after the first seventy
five thousand volunteers were called for, and
many of them in the field, is said to have
called on Governor Curtin, and said, L" Friend
Andrew, thee knows that We don't believe in
fighting; but, thee knows, also, that We dc
believe in feeding the hungry, and now, i
thee knows of any families that need to b,
fed, thee will please take this five hundred
dollars and appropriate it to that purpose.
The Quakers have done much, in their wa,
to crush out the present rebellion, though
! they are pacific people.

Summerings.

In going to the country tospend your sum.
mer, leave business behind, but take with you
your entire stock of patience, courtesy, sell
respect, and religion. Go as plain "John
Smith, gentleman" If YOU have the first
claim to being we'll bred, You will be the las,
person in the world to volunteer any infor-
nation on the subject. II it must be told lei
it be by your conduct; let your entire deport-
ment prove that you are lady or gentle.
man. Do not profess that you know Mr.
Astor, Mr. Grinnell, Mr. Minturn, or other
distinguished citizens, when your entire
knowledge consists IN their having been
pointed out to you on the street. Avoid
claiming acquaintance with this or that family
ofnote, when you only happen to have spoken
to them on railcar or steamboat, or in some
purely business transaction. An enterprising
individual once claimed that he knew dis
tinguished judge very well. On inquiry,
it was found that the said Judge had
once sent hint to the penitentiary If you have
the first mite of common sense, and really 60
to the country for recreation, enjoyment and
health, leave your best and second-best cloth
ing at home; take only your common ward
robe, and but small part of that; not only
that the persons you stop with" may feel
more easy, but that you may feel freer your
self to scale fences, climb trees, scramble up
mountain-sides, wade across creeks, and pen
citrate forest tangles. Never turn up your
nose at anything at the table; if you have the
slightest disposition to do so, You may be
sure it is pug, and isn't long enough to
turn. If you don't like thing, let it alone
eat nothing, and by the next meal you may
be glad to get anything. Remember that in
going TO the country sensible mans object
is neither to dress nor eat, chiefly, but to
obtain mental repose, pure air, and unrestrain-
ed exercise. Endeavor TO conform, withou,
apparent effort, to the arrangements of the
family with whom YOU board, and to the man
ners and customs of the people arounl l you
as far as they do not compromise your prin
ciples of good morals and good taste. BE-
cheerful, be kind, be considerate, be accom-
modating. DO not obtrude your political OIL
religious sentiments. Shun argument ant
controversy on any and all subjects. lie,
your courtesy come cut naturally; and if re.
ligious, don't be a Pharisee.-HaFs Journal

Mileage of Congressman and Soldiers.

The mileage of Congressman, compared
with that of soldiers, presents contrast that
places the former in its true light before the
people. A member of Congress is paid 40
cents "a mile for going to Washington, and 40
cents for every mile which lies between him
self and his home-S0 cents in all. The
table of mileage of Congressman, published
in the Statesmen of the 2nd of August, puts
down G. X. Shiel, of Oregon, as travelling
6,GG2 miles, which amounts to S5,329,6O. As
Congressman voted themselves mileage for
the extra session, in the summer of 1861, and
as the law allows two mileages for each term
Of representative, Mr. Shiel will receive for
mileage during this Congress, exclusive of
S3,O0O-the compensation for service
Sl5,9Ss,SO, while his real outgoes for travel,
even if he returned to Oregon once for each
mileage drawn, would not exceed $4,000. 1t
is the custom of the Pacific shore members
to remain on this side the United States
through..ther two years service-thus saving,
if they be frugal men, very considerable es-
tates out of their mileage.
Let US now look upon the other side. A
discharged soldier is allowed four and half
(4t) cents mile for his travel-say from
Washington to Oregeon-S299, ,79-comput-
ed upon the distance alleged in the mileage
bill to be travelled by Mr. Shiel-and 80 cents
for subsistence for every twenty miles travel.
ed. The subsistence money of soldier from
Washington to Oregon would therefore
amount to $l66,5l, which, added to his mile
age, amounts to S466,3O. A soldier howeve,
would not probably be paid upon the distance
alleged to be travelled by an Oregon Con
gresham, but let that pass. The pay Of 8
Congressman Zone way, 40 cents a mile)
from Washington to Oregon, is $2664 so
leaving an excess above the sum received b,
a discharged and perhaps crippled soldier, 0

The Extent of the Change.

Crossing yesterday the threshold of pala-
tial jewelry store in Chestnut street, We OBJ.
served at the counter man accompanied by
an overdressed female, paving for $1,000
set Of diamonds he had then purchased. The
buyer of the glittering trinkets, less than a
year ago, had as little prospect of owning a
$1,000 set of diamonds as of inherising the
fee simple Of all Golconda. The gems were
duly disposed upon the person of his compa-
nion, and consignins the empty casket to his
pocket, the parties walked out. How is
trade ? we asked of the proprietor, as he led
us back into the store, beaming with smiles
Trade" said he, with US was never better.

cur attention to his long row of show cases,
in which the stock was manifestly meagre,
and from which very many costly gems that
We had known by sight had now disappear
ed. "a year ago." said the dealer in Jewels,
our stock was so large that We trembled to
look at it. We had sets of diamonds, pearls,
opals, rubies and emeralds costing US large
sums, whose sale We looked upon as hopeless
until national order was restored. Now
they are nearly all gone. We have sold
nearly six sets to-day, and $1,000 was the
lowest priced Of them all. "And the buy

faces. Our old customers We scarcely ever
see, except they come for some trifing pur.
chase, or bring their watches to be put in or

of gems bought from us years before" "Who
are your present best customers ?" We ask

The Knife to the Hit.

letter from Washington says: A well

phew is one Of the officers recently taken
prisoner at Cedar Mountain. He has come
on to beseech the government to avenge the
infamous treatment bestowed upon the Off
GERS of Popes army. He SAWS be asks the
President simply to back up the new policy
of Gen Pope with deeds that viii speedily
bring the rebels to terms, or to abandon it
altogether. In speaking of the matter he
says: cannot sit down to my dinner with
moments happiness, for l am thinking of
my sisters son who has nothing to eat, and /
cannot sleep when 60 to bed for thinking
that he is lying upon the hard floor of
