Of the First Kansas Regiment, now in
Missouri, has perpetrated the following
serious paragraphs:

lists as soldier in the Kansas First, is OF
few days, and short Of "rations"
2. lie cometh forth at "reveile," is
present also at 'retreai," yes. even at ''ia-
too" and rctirelh apparently at taps
3. lie draweth his rations from the
commissary, and deyoureth the same
tie strikelh his teeth against much hard
bread, and is satisfied. lie fIIeth his can
teen with aquapura, and clappeih the
mouth thereof upon the bung OF a whiskey
barrel, and after little while goeth away
rejoicing in his strategy.
4 Much soldering hath made him sharp
yea, even the seat OF his breeches are
in danger of being cut through.
5. lie coyenanteih with the eredulous
farmer for many chickens and much hon
ey and milk, to be paid promptly at the
end OF each ten days; and 10 his rsg-
ment moveth on the ninth day to another
post.
G. His tent is filed with potatoes, cab
bage, turnips, krout and other delicate
morsels Of a dulcet delicious taste, which
abound not in the commissary department.
2. And many other things not in the
returns" and which never will return

ing that he cannot reach.
3. lie Greth his minnie rife of midnight,
aud the whole camp is aroused and formed
into line, when 10 his mess comes bear

Q. lie giyeth the Provost Marshall

H. The gruni Of pig or the growing
Of cock, awakeneth him from the sound
est sleep, and he sauntereth forth, until
halted by the guard, when he instantly
clsppeth his hands upon his bread basket,
and the guard in commiscraton alloweth
him 70 pass to the rear.
IL. No sooner bath he passed the sen.
try's beat than he striketh "bee-liDe
