COnscrIptIon In France.

The following account OF the CONSUMPTION In
France is from the England United Service
Magazine. Ii is in the way here described that
the vast army of France is replenshed. The
military lottery occurs every year. The annu-
al contingent of troops levied thereby, varies
according to the necessity Of the State, being in
war times very high, and in peaceable times
comparatively low-at all times, however, it
amounts to at least twenty thousand men, that
being tho number who annually receive dismis-
sion, their term Of service having expired. A
census Of all the departments is taken every
year, and the number of men required is divided
in equal proportions among al! provinces of the
empire. The names of all the young men be-
tween the ages Of twenty and thirty both years
inclusive, are then described on the conscrip-
tion list of their respective localities, and every
attempt to evade transcription is punished by
an Imprisonment of from one month to one
year, while any one aiding or abetting fugi-
tive from the dreaded ballot is liable to the
same penalty. Tho scene whe b takes place at
the drawing is one of much picturesque ANNA
ton. Groups of the finest youths of wide
neighborhoOd, with, generally, their fathers
and mothers, relatives and friends, are assem-
bled in the spacious hall of the town house.
The Mayors, Projects aud Sub.Prefects are
there to receive them, with, usually several Off
GERS quartered in the district On every face
there is an expression of hope and fear, anxiety
and excitement, aud as each advances toward
the fatal urn and draws the paper deciding his
fatal destiny, all the spectators as well as the
parties Immediately concerned, feel the most
lively interest. Those who draw higher num-
Der than of recruits required, are exempt, while
those who draw lower are condemned 10 serve
their country as militaries for the space Of sew
EN- years. Some are exempted. These exoep-
tons include all below the hight of five feet five
inches all criminals; all who are the subject
of any physical incapacity the eldest Of Or
phaus the only son, or eldest son or grandson
of widow, or of a father of seventy years of
age certain classes of students in the public
schools, including all those who have carried off
the great prizes of the institute, or of the uni
versity None; however are exempt from the
ballot all must appear aud draw their lots, and
this over, such as have objections to urge, send
them to the Council of Revision, which is APP
pointed for the purpose. Were it not for this
close examination, many would evade the com
mon national responsibility, and some would
intrude themselves into the service whom the
service would otherwise reject As 1t is, the
instances are numerous Of persons who mutilate
themselves by chopping offa finger, or who
raise sores on their bodies by piercing their
flesh and drawing strings through the wound,
that they may be reported by the medical in-
spectors nfirm and unfit for military life.

A NEGRO Discussion ABOUT EGas.-Geneva,
the lovely village Of Seneca Lake, furnishes us
the following specimen Of Parliamentary rul-
ing -
In the fairest village in Western New York,
the "cullud pussons" in imitation of their white
brethren, formed a debating society for the
purpose of improving their minds by the dis
cussion OF instructive and entertaining topics.
The deliberations Of the society were presided
over by a venerable darkey, who performed bis
duty with the utmost dignity peculiar to his
color. The subject for discussion on which we
write was
"What am do muddcr OBJ dc chickens--de hen
what lay de eggs, or de hen wat hatch de
chicks?n
The question was warmly debated. and many
reasons pro and con. were urged and combatted
by the excited disputants. Those in favor of
the latter proposition were evidently in the ma
jerity, and the President made an attempt TO
conceal that his sympathies were with the DOM
inant party. AT length an intelligent darkey
rose from the minority side and begged leave
to state proposition to this effect dispose
dat you set dozen duck eggs under hen and
dey hatch, which am de mudder, de duck or de
henW This was q poser, was we'll put, and
nonpussed the other side, even staggering the
President, who plainly saw the force Of the ar
gument, and had committed himself too far to
yield without q struggle, so, after oogitating
aud scratching his wool few moments, bright
idea struck him. Rising in his chair, with all
the consciousness of superiority, he announced:
"Ducks am not before de house chickens am
de question darefore l rule de ducks out -
and do it he did, to the complete overthrow OF
his opponents.

LoSo ARroLEs.-wrfters for the press should
take hint by the following from the editor Of
one of the Oldest aud most widely circulated
papers in the United States:
"People make great mistake in writing
long articles. A communication which is q
fourth of q column long is read by most read
ers, unless its subject is manifestly repulsive ;
ever half column long by half our readers; q
column long, by third of them; two column
article by not one tenth three or four col
umn one by nobody whatever, except the wea-
ried editor and his proofreader, and the few

cern in the article After nearly twenty years

A Grave without a Monument.

The nobest OF cemeteries is the ocean. Its
poetry is, and in human language, ever will be,
unwrtten. It's clements of sublimity are sub
jects Of feeling, not description. Its records,
like the reflection mirrored on its wavelesss boz
som, cannot be transferred to paper. Its vast
ness, its eternal heavings, its majestic music, in
O storm, and its perils, are things which had
endeavored thousand times to conceive, but
until was on Its mighty bosom, looking out
upon its moving mountain waves, feeling that
eternity was distant from me but a single plank,
had tried in vain to feel and know the glories
and grandeur of the sea. | there first felt what
John OF Patmos meant when he said Of heaven,
"Tbere shall DO more sea-" But there Is one
element of moral subimity which impressed
my mind and which should be pleased If
could transfer in all its vivdness, to the minds
OF your readers. The sea is the largest Of GEM
eteres, and all its slumberers sleep without
monument. All other grave-yards, in all lands
show some symbols of distinction between the
great and the small, the rich and the poor but
in that ocean cemetery the king and the clown
the prince and the peasant, are alike undistin-
guished. The same wave rolls over all--the
same requiem by the minstrelsy of the ocean,
is sung to their honor. Over their remains the
same storms beat and the same sun shines and
there, unmarked, the weak and the powerful,
the plumed aud the unhonored, will sleep on,
until awakened by the same trump the sea
will give up its dead. thought Of sailing over
the slumberng but devoted Goodman, who, af-
ter his brief but brilliant career, persisted in
the President-over the laughter-lovng Power,
who went down in the same Inflated vessel we
may have passed. In that cemetery sleeps the
accomplished and the pious Fisher but where
be and thousands of others of the noble spirits
OF earth lie, no one but God knowetb. No
marble rises to point out where their ashes are
gathered, or where the lover Of the good and
wise can go and shed tear Of sympathy. Who
can tell where lie the tens Of thousands Of
Afric's sons who persisted in the "middle pas
sage ~ Yet that cemetery has ornaments Of
which no other can boast On no other are the
heavenly orbs reflected in such splendor. Over
no other is heard such noble melody In no
other are so many inimitable traces Of the pow
er Of Jehovah. Never can forget my days
and nights as / passed over the noblest Of GEM
eteries, without single human monument

AM ArI.ansas Father.s ADVICE 70 hIs Som.


We don't know where we picked up the fol-
lowing bit of fun and wisdom, but wherever it
came from, il is good. There is genuine hui
NOR in the idea that an Arkansas man finds the
most natural expression, even of parting advice
to his son, in the language of the card table |;
and the way the terms Of the game Of "euchre"
are fitted to the game Of life, is ingenious. The
advice, translated into the ordinary language
of caution and warning, is about as good as we
ever encountered
"Bob, you are about leaving home for strange
parts. You're going to throw me out of the
game, and go it alone. The odds are agin you
Bob, but remember always that industry aRd
perseverance, are the winning cards; they are
the bowers Book larnn' and all that sort of
thing will do to bll up with, like small trumps,
but You must have the bowers to back 'em, else
they haint worth shucks. If luck runs agin
you pretty strong, don't cave 10 and look like
u sick chicken on rainy day. but hold your
head up aud make 'em believe you're flush OF
trumps; they won't play so hard agin you.
I've lived and Travelled around some, Bob, and
I've found cut that as soon as folks thought
you held a weak hand, they'd buck agin you
strong. SO when you're sorter weak, keep on
a bold front, but always play cautious; be sat
isfed with pint Many's the hand Pve seen
euehred cause they played for too much Keep
your eyes well skinned, Bob; don't let 'em mig
on you; recollect the game lays as much with
the head as with the hands. Be temperate,
never get drunk, for then no matter how good
your hand. you won't know how to play it; both
bowers and ace won't save you, for there's sar-
tin to be 'misdeal,' or something wrong.
And another thing, Bob, (this was spoken in
low tone) don't go too much on the women /;
queens are kinder poor cards; the more you
have Of ZEN the worse for you you might have
three and nary trump, it's all right, and there's
sartin to be out of four. And above all, Bob,
be honest; never take trick wot don't belong
to you, nor slip cards, or mig for then you
can't look your man in the face, and when that's
the case there's no fun in the game; it's regu-
lar 'cut throat So now, Bob, farewell; re-
member wOt tell you, and you'll be sure to
win, and if you don't, 1t sarves you right you
get skunked.'o
