August.

To-day, the meek-eyed cattle on the hills
Lie grouped together in some grateful shade,
Or slowly wander down the grassy glade,
To stand content, knee deep, in CLASSY rills.
The wandering bee, in far secluded bowers,
HUNS its low, cheerful anthem, tree from
carej
Great, brilliant butterflies, fragile as fair,
Float gracefully above the gorgeous flowers.
The sun pours down food of golden heat
Upon the busy world; SO hot and bright,
That the tired traveller, longing for the
night,
Seeks some cool shelter from the dusty street.
The cricket chirrups forth its shrill refrain;
The grass and all green things are scar and
dry;
The parched earth thirsts for water, and
men sigh
For cooling showers. All nature waits for
rain

Eighteenth. A substitute for an enrolled
man is credited, and, therefore, deducted
from the quota of the locality he enlists
In.
Nineteenth. An enrolled man furnish
ing an alien as substitute is exempt for
the time of service of the substitute,
unless the alien becomes a citizen, or de-
clares his intention to become so, in which
his principal likewise.
Twentieth. A man may enlist. in the
army or navy for three years as substi-
tute. If in the navy, he must be twenty
three years old.
Twenty-6rst. Recruiting agents in reb-
ell States must have letter of appoint
ment from the State Executive. The par
ticular field of State in which the agent
is to operate, is to be specified in the let
ter of appointment AL recruiting agents
will be subject to the rules and articles Of
war. 1t is made the duty of the COM
manding officer of any department or dis
trict in which recruiting agents operate,
and of commander officers Of rendezvous,
to order back to his State or arrest and
hold for trial, as he may deem best, any
recruiting agent who shall commit frauds
upon the Government or recruits, or who
shall violate the instructions issued to
govern this recruitment, or be guilty of
any offense against military law. No man
shall be recruited who is already in the
military service as a soldier, teamster, Ia
borer, guide, &C., or who is so employed
by the military authorities as to be Of inn
portance to military operations. Recruits
procured under this privilege must be de-
livered by the recruiting agents at one of
the following named rendezvous, namely
Camp Casey, Washington D. c., for North
east Virginia; Camp near Fortress Mon
roe for Southeast Virginia Camp New
bern, N. G., for North Carolina; Camp
Hilton Head, S. c., for South Carolina
and Florida Camp Vicksburg, Miss,
for Mississippi; and Camp Nashville,
Tenn, for Georgia aud Alabama
Twenty-second. If it is desired to put
any of the volunteer recruits from the
rsbellious States into the service as SUBJ
stitutes before or after the draft, they
must be sent without expense o'the Gov
ernment by the recruiting agent to the
district in which the principal is enrolled,
and there be mustered in by the Provost
Marshal, who will issue the proper substi-
tuition papers. 1t is made the duty of
commanding officers to afford to recruiting
agents all such facilities as they can pro-
vide, without detriment to the public
service, and to prevent recruiting by un-
authorized parties. .
Twenty-third The enlistment of hun
dred day men does not operate to reduce
the liability of the district from which he
volunteers. But if any hundred day man
is drafted, his. hundred days service counts
in reducing his term of service.
Twenty fourth. Although the volun-
teers are taken for one, two or three years,
the draft is for one year.

or editor of several law treatises. He is
at present professor of law in the Univer-

How Petroleum is Formed.

The Pitisburg Chronicle, specializing
on the formation of petroleum, says -
We may set it down as an axiom, that
nature is not only capable of producing
now all articles that she has ever produced,
but that she is and will continue to produce
them nntil-she substitutes something better.
Perhaps our meaning will be better under
stood by applying it to q single article.

The Size of the Sow.

Once upon a time, very secluded mis-
authrops who had become disguised with
the busy world, retired to a very secluded
part of the country, erected himself a small
cabin, with a latch string, and lighted with
a single pane of glass IKE. He enclosed a
small patch for agricultural purposes and
resolved to live in the greatest seclusion,
and upon the principle that 'man wants
but little here below, Or wants that little
long"
Soon his quiet was broken in upon by the
diernal presence of very unwholesome
and unWelcome guest, in the parsonage Of
an cold SOW" Her ladySh;p had seen near
II as many summers ss the Hermit, and
like him, had resolved to forsake all her
swinish acquaintance and relations, and
seek Der subsistence where ever there was an
opening.
The old ''critter' had not spent her days
without profting by past events and exper-
fence. She made a careful and strategic
reconnaissance of the Hsrmit's Fortress
and "out works, !" resolving to share in the
profits of his wisdom and industry. So,
one day percsiving the lord of the primitive
plantation at work in his enclosure, adjoin-
ing the cabin. she resolved to make an as
sault upon his premises in quest of TGtiOnS.
The feat was accomplished with complete
success, and quiet retreat effected without
alarming the enemy. taking refuge in the
adjoining brushs~ This system of hoggish
plumber was repeated to the great annoy
ance, expense and wonder of our friend.
The frequent robberies became unbearabls,
and the Hermit resolved upon discovering
the author of these depredations. He
watched, and soon the whole mystery was
unfolded. He-saW the old brute enter the
cabin door cautiously-sofly he crept to
his cabin armed with huge bludgeon, de-
termined to take summary revenge upon the
old four-legged robber. The door once
reached, he instantly shut it, firmly secur-
ing, as he supposed, the brute. Now came
the crisis. The old SOW saw the trap and
franticaly plunged at the door; it was i'm
penetrable her situation was desperate
TO 60 up the chimney was impossible. The
Hermit was raving with glee upon the out
side at his success IN the capture, ruminating
whether he would convert his enemy into
bacon or pickle her, when to his utter as
constituent and CONSERVATION he heard a
crash. and out came the old SOW through
the 7x9 pane of glass, like an equestrian
through hoop, making $40 time for the
brush.
Here was change of base and our hero

ONE WAY TO GET HAT.-When the ears
on the Eastern railroad were passing
through Rowley one day last week, pas
senger lost his hat, and was taking on bad
ly because the conductor would not stop to
pick it up. Another passenger told him to
keep still and he would give him a better
bat than that. When the train reached
Newburyport, the last man opened win
dow and calling up stranger entered into
conversation on politics till the car had
started, when he reached out his hand
grabbed the outsiders Kossuth, and throT-
ing it to the batless passenger, told him to
put it on and hold his tongue. One man
went home bareheaded, but if he don't lose
more than that by political disputes, he may
think himself lucky.
