for every recruit who is veteran volunteer,
bounty and premium amounting to Sl02,
will be paid, and to all other recruits, not vet.

As those who are drafted receive only 800
bounty, men enlisted under this order will be
permitted to seet their regiments, which
however, must be one OF the old regiments in
the field.

REPLY OF AN lNFIDEL.-An American
traveller, being Unexpectedly detained at the
mole or quarantine of Odessa. was very civil
ly offered "half his apartments, and a sofa
to lie on,' by young Englishman. who act.
ed as q translator to the mole. After thew
had formed an intimate acquaintance. and
one evening had retired to rest. the traveller
asked his friend how he could endure the
hiasphemv which was 50 constantly heard
there. The young Englishman replied that
- as a gentleman, these things were disagree.
able to him, hut as to their being intrinsical-
ly wrong. 1t was no matter of concern to him.
as he denied the truth of all revelation. and
believed Jesus Christ to be an impostor.r
The traveller. without supposinr the remark
would be heeded except by courtesy, replied
. Either Christ was an impostor, or be was
not. If he was an impostor, we have the in.
conceivable phenomenon of base man prac.
ticlng virtue. self-denial. charity, forgiveness
of injuries, through his whole life, in spite
otscourging. contumely, and even crucifxion.
Is 1T philosophical to suppose that bad man
would take such pains to make men good :?
But If he>was not an impostor, then be has
told the truth and we must believe him ~
8 Is it possible that have never seen this
before ?'' was the only reply of the young
Englishman but the argument sunk deer in
his heart: and when the traveller had arrived
at Alexandra. he received letter from the
former skeptic, acknowledging him {. as the
best friend he ever had" encouraging him to
be equally faithful to others, and praying him
not to forget his ssOdessa convert !"
The Shasta courier., 1863-05-02

TAKE CARE OF THE FEET.-'' OF all parts of
the body" says DR.. Robertson. " there is not
one which ought to be so carefully attended
to as the feet" Every person knows from
experience that colds, and many other dis
eases which proceed from colds, are attribu-
table to cold feet The feet are at such
distance from the '.wheel of the cistern' of
the system, that the circulation of the blood
may be very easily checked there. Yet, lor
all this, and although every person of COM
mon sense should be aware of the truth of
what we have stated there is no part of the
human body so trihed with as the feet. The
young and would be genteel footed cramp
their toes and feet into thin soled. bone pinch
ing boots and shoes, in order to display neat
feet, in the fashionable sense of the term
There is one great evil against which every
person should be on the guard against-we
mean the changing of warm for cold shoes
or boots. A change is often made from thick
to thin soled shoes, without rejecting upon
the consequences which might ensue. In cold
weather, boots and shoes of good thick leath-
err. both in soles and uppers. should be worn
by all. Water tights are not good, if they
are-air- tights also; Iadia rubber over shoes
should never be worn except in wet, splasly
weather. and then not very long at cnce 1t
is hurtful to the feet to wear any covering
that is air-tight over them, and for this rea-
son India rubber should be worn as seldom
possible. No part of the body should be
allowed to have a covering that entirely OBJ
structs the passage of carbonic acid gas from
the pores of the skin outward, and the mod
crate passage of air inward to the skin. Life
can he destroyed in very short time by en-
tirely closing up the pores of the skin. Good
warm stockings and thick solsd boots and
shoes are conservators of health, and ccnse
quently of happiness.
