ton Law.

Mr.. Arnold, of Illinois, in a recent inter-
view with the Secretary of War, ascertained
the terms OF the forthcoming CONSUMPTION.
The action under the law will be first to re-
turn to the army all absentees and deserters;
second, the draft will be made, first in those
States and districts which have failed to fur
nish their quota under calls heretofore made;
third, such of the States as have furnished
more than their proportions of volunteers
heretofore called for, will be credited with
such excess, and no draft will probably be
ordered in such States until the number of
troops furnished by the several States shall
have been equalized By drafts in those
States which are behind.

A Beautiful Extract.

1t was night Jerusalem slept as quietly
amid her ills as a child upon the breas. of
its mother. The noiseless sentinel. stood lik Q
statue at his post, and the philosophers
lamp burned dimly in the recesses of his
chamber.
But moral darkn esq involved the nations
in its unlighted shadows. Reason shed a
faint glimme riDg over the minds of men,
like the cold and insufficient shining of a
distant star. The Immortality of mans
spiritual nature was unknown, his relation
unto heaven undiscovered, and his future
destiny obscured in cloud of mystery.
1t was at this period that two forms of
ethereal mould lowered about the land of
Gods chosen people. They seemed like
sister angels sent to earth on some EN- bassy
of love- The one of majestic stature and
we'll formed limbs, which her snowy drap-
cry hardly concealed, in her erect bearing
and steady eye. exhibited the highest de-
gree of strength and confidence. Her ight
arm was extended in an impressive gesture
upward, where night appeared to have
placed her darkest pavilion, while on the
left reclined her companion in form and
countenauce the contrast of the other, for
shewas dropping like flower when moist
ened with refreshing dews, and her bright
but troubled eyes scanned the air with vary
ing glances Suddenly light, like th sun
flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and
Hope hailed with exulting songs the ascend
ing star of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, aud the stranger was
seen in Jerusalem. He was meek, unas-
Stunning man, whose happiness seemed to
consist in acts of beneTolence to the human
race. There were deep traces of sorrow on
bis couutenance, though no one knew why
he grieved, for he lived in the practice of
every virtue, and was loved by all the good
and wise. By and by it was RUM red that
the stranger worked miracles; that the blind
saw, and the dumb spake, the dead leaped,
the ocean moderated lis chanting tide; and
the very thunders articulated-He is the
Son of God. Envy assailed him to death.
Slowly aud thickly girded, he assembled the
hill Of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to
the earth. But Faith leaned on his arm,
and Hope dipped her piuions in his blood
ami mounted to the skies.
