JwtThe Act for the regulation of the Mi litia of this Commonwealth, passed by He Ute Legislature, is so very vdlun.i nous that it is next to impoisiblc to find room for It in the newspapers. Never- ihcuesSj it is a vcr' important public act, changing, radically the whole militia hm of the Statu and ouoht to bo laid ho. t ri - - Fore ihc people in a shape that it may be Vompreheoded and undcr.-tood. It im- poesnew duties upon publicofficers which jpught to be promptly attended to, and itlie nature of which the public ought to .bp wade acquainted with, in order that ,tlic3r may be effectively carried out. We JbcUcvc the law in the main is a good one nd will eventually work well. It may be defective in some particulars as yet. tQt as its defects arc developed when it comes to be carried out iit practice, they lruay"be amended from time to time, and finally the system may be wholly perfect cd. fmportaut duties are imposed by the law on the Commander-in-Chief (Gover nor) and the Adjutaut General, to which, lit is to be hoped, they will, give their ear ly and earnctt attention. Findiug it impossible to give the bill in. full in our columns, we givo an ab stract of such of its provisions as arc most important, and which will convey a gen .cral idea of the character of the law : Section Srst provides " that all able bodied, white male citizens between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five years, presiding in this State, and not exempted by the laws of the United States, shall be Uubjcct to military duty," exceptinp per 'sons in the army or navy of the United States, ministers, of the gospel, profes sor of colleges and school directorsaud 'Judges of the Courts, together with all persons regularly and honorably discharged in pursuance of any law in ttiii State, and all persons having served ecven years in a uniformed company ; the proof ofsuch uervice shall be the cer tificate of the commanding officer. -:.

From the London Family Herald. TJIE IMPROMPTU MARRIAGE. 'For Heavens Bake, Susy, do be seri ous, if you can, for five minutes. Pray, pray, cease this trifling, which is but cru el playing with my feelings, and let us treat this subject, as it deserves, soberly and seriously.' 'Well, there, then!' cried the laughing black-eyed girl, to whom Charles West erly spoke. 'There, then, is that grave enough? See, the corners of my mouth are duly turned down, and my eyes roll ed up, and I am as sober as a patient who has caught sight of the dentist's in struments. Do I suit you sol' 'You suit me anyhow, and you know it well!' cried Charles, gazing; with a smile, at the pretty face, puckered up in its af fection of demureness. But he was not to be driven from his point, and he re sumed, gravely, after a pause. 'The time has come, Susy, when I feel I have a right to demand an explicit answer to my suit. You have trifled with ray earn est feelings long enough. I have grown restless under my fetters.' 'Shake them off, then, Charley!' inter rupted the saucy girl, with a pretty defi ant loss of her head which plainly said, 'I dofy you to do it.' 'I cannot, Susy and you know it,' re plied the hapless lover, impatiently. That being the case,' said Susy, 'take my advice wear them gracefully, and don't pull and jerk so, it only makes them hurt you.' The young man turned away, and walk ed silently up and down the room, evi dently fretting and fuming internally. Susy, meantime, looked out of the win dow and yawned. Charles continued his moody walk. 'Ob, what a beautiful bird is on theli-lao-treel' cried Susy, suddenly. "Do come and see it.' Charles mechanically approached the window and looked out. 'Don't you think, Charly,' said Susy, laying her band on his arm, and looking up eagerly in his. face: don't you think you could manage to '. . 'What. Susy dear!' asked Charley, all bis tenderness awakened by her manner, 'What!' 'Drop a pinch of salt on his back,' re turned the provoking girl, with an. affec tation of simplicity; 'for then, you know, you could easily catch it.' His answer was to turn angrily away. His walk this time was longer than be fore, and, his cogitations were more earn est; for he did not heed any of Susy's artfully artless devices to allure his no tice. At last he stopped abruptly before her.and said, 'Susy, for three long years I have been your suitor, without either profession of love or promise of marriago on your part. Often as I havo demanded to know your sentiments towards mo, you have always conuettishlv rofusod me an answer. This state of things must cease. Ilove you better than my life; but I will no longer be your plaything. To-morrow you are going away to a distance, to be abscpt for months, .and if you cannot, this very day throw aside your coquetry, and give mo. honest 'yes,' for my answer, I shall con sider that I have received a 'no,' and act accordingly." And how would that be! What would 1 you do!1 aked Miss Susy curiously. j 'Begin by. tearing your false and worth- 1 less image from my heartl'' cried Charles , less image furiously, 'It would bo a Riirmus niece OI nasi- ness, Charley, and you would not succueu either, said Sus.y. said 'i snouia ana wuuiu- ou.v-w-, shall see, if you wish, ' PlinrTna ' fr a vnti , , .. . .ii.i : cruel, nearness giru.

But she Pad cone a BteP too far. Her oftn ' i . severely tried lover was now too much in earnest to bear her trifling any longer, j 'Never, be it, then!' be cried; and seiz-. ing his hat, he strode from the room. j Susy listened to his receding footsteps with dismay. Had, she, indeed, by hen incorrigibly love of coquetry, lost him? j It smote her to the soul to think so. As Bhe heard him open the front door, im pelled by a feeling of despair, she raised the window-sash, and, leaning forward, whispered. - 'Charley, Charley, you will be at tho boat to-morrow to bid me good-by, won't you! Surely we are still friends?' As she spoke, she tore a rose from her! bosom and threw it to him. It lodged on his arm, but he brushed it away, aa tho' j it bad been poison, and passed on without ' Susy spent tbe rest of that day in tears. Early the next morning the bustle of de parture began. Susy was going to ac company her widowed and invalid moth er on a trip for her health. As they reached tbe wharf and de scended from tho carriage, Susy's eyes made themselves busy searching for ope wished-for-face; but it was nowhere to be seen. Tbe steamboat lay panting and puffing, seemingly impatient to be let loose. Su sy's mother, aided by the servant-man who accompanied them, had already cros sed the gang-way which lay between the wharf and the boat, and Susy was reluct antly following, when the sound of a voice behind her tho very voice she was long ing to hear startled her. She turned to look round, missing her footing, fell into the water. " Another instant, and Charles had thrown off his coat, and calling out loud ly, 'Tell the captain not to allow the wheel to stir, and to lower me a rope!' he sprang into the river. But of her whom he was risking bis life to save, he was un able to perceive any tracej Judging that the current of "the river might have carried her a. little forward, he swam around the wheel, but still he saw her not, and despair seized his heart as he conjectured that she might be un der tbe boat. He strained bis eyes to see through the water, and at length dis cerned, far below the surface, what seem ed tbe end of a floating garment lodged between the wheel and the rounded bot tom of the boat. If this were indeed the unfortunate girl the least movement of the wheel must ev idently crush her, and Charles, in his ter ror, fancied it was already beginning to turn. He dived and clutchod at the gar ment, but misled it. He rose panting and almost exhausted; but scarcely wait ing to get breath, he again plunged bo low. This time his efforts were reward ed with success, at least so far that he was able to bring Susy's form to the surface of the water; but she seemed totally life less. Charles was now so nearly exhausted that he had only sufficient presence of mind left to clasp Susy convulsiuely to him while he kept himself afloat by hold ing on tho wheel But this, his last hope of support, seem ed also to fail him soon, as ho perceived that it was now really beginning to turn slowly round. By a desperate effort he struck his foot against one of the paddles so as to push himself as far from the dan ger as possible. As be did so something touched his head, and his hand grasped a rope. New life seemed now infused into fnstenod the rone round Susy's waist rope consciousness then entirely forsook him h nf tho scene, after tmnir 'Charle's instructions In the meantime , ti i. i i t , i : r.i(Tiiplf( to the captain, had watched his trugyeies and exertions with breathless interest.

Charles went out and returned, accom panied by a minister. 'I thank you, sir, for coming to me,' said Susy to the latter, as he entered. 'I havo a strange request to make of. you. Would you object, sir,in the presenceand with the consent of my mother, to unite me to that gentleman?' If the minister was astonished atfthis request, Charles was infinitely morcso. 'What did you say, Susy,' said be? Did I hear aright?' 'I believe so,' said Susy, smiling atjiis eager amazement, 'Does the scheme meet your approval?' 'It was heaven-inspired!' cried the poor fellow, frantic with joy but a shade com- ing over his radionl face, he added, grave ly, 'But, Susy, have you considered? Hem ember, I want your love, not your gratitude. I will be satisfied with noth ing less.' 'Do not be concerned about that,, dear Charles,' replied Susy, gaziug at him. ye- 'ry tenderly through her tears; be assured you nave tnera both, and had tbe first long. 11 P T t nciore you uaa tne last.' 'But, Susy, you said on yesterday ' 'Never mind what 1 said yesterday,' interrupted Susy, with some of her old spirit breaking out. 'Just mind what I say to-day. If I was a fool once, is that any reason I must be one always?. ;But, indeed, Charles,' she added, more softly, "I have always meant to be your wife tho only scruple I have is that I ara.not half good enough for you.' It is needless to say how this discussion ended. The reader has already divined that Charles continued his journey; and thu3, in the caurso of one eventful day, he risked a life, 6aved a life, made an im promptu marriage, and set out on a "moat unexpected wedding trip. Magnificently SoicL j No Medical society could be imposed on as once was the London MedicaUSoj oiety. They were authentically informed that a sailor had broken his leg, and i had been cured in three days by tho.ap plication of tar and oakum, Tbey imme diately broke the legs of such. animals as they could get, bandaging them with far and oakum, but the legs did not get well) and they wanted to break some man's leg's to test this wonderful cure, finally they wrote to their informaut to Jeajn if they had us,ed the right kind of taf and oakum, and in correct portions. lleas sured them that all was right, and added in a postscript, that. the lpg being qf'wbodf tar and oakum was probably as-gpod as anything they could have used. A new process of extracting teeth,, was recently tried in Baltimore. A number of teeth were extracted, and the patients declare they received no pain, but cxpe rienced a numbing sensation about the tooth.
