the following story:
JENNY GIiligan xss a born straggier.
and the torment II BIZ. CON any officer.
There was not a hcn-rop>t ar plg-sty
within a mile Of the line of march which
Jenny did NJ; scent and 90 through
thoroughly.
"His lieutenant in command was a
martinez in discipline, ana n coward in
battle. He had always some reason to
fault find a soldier, and Was equally good
at an excuse for being absent when dan
ger was ahead. Gilligan had an Irish
mans love of fight, and was always on
hand when powder was to be smelt.
"But on the march, Jenny was ever
on the watch to drop behind, and then
be off on 'scoot' 1t was lame foot, a
stone in his shoe, anything, every
thing that would suit his purpose.
His officer was always on the lookout for
him, and many a time was the lieutenant's
voice heard roaring out, Close up, there
Gilligan! till Close up, there, Gilligau |!
passed into by-word in the regiment.
OF course, no love was lost between Gill
ligan and his officer.
"You all recollect Pope campaign, end
ing in the second battle of Bull Run,
The Northern troops were pushing with
all speed to head off Jackson, who was
coming through Thoroughfare Gap.
Jenny was foraging, as usual, when the
skirmishers came into collision.
"The first sound of firing quickened
our Irishmsn. His colonel, by the way,
for reasons of his own, had somewhat
winked at Jemmy's irregularities, and he
generally came to his company by way of
the headquarters, where he would see
the colonel's orderly. So, before long,
he presented himself there, with pair OF
geese over his shoulder, and driving be-
fore him his company officer, pale and
dusty, his face covered with sweat and
charcoal. His hands were tied behind
his back, and the pair came in at good
round trot, the lieutenant just in advance
Of the point of Jemmy's bsyOnet.
"'How now, Jemmy9 What's this 2
roared the colonel.
"'Why, colonel, dye see, l was leetle
behint, a-lookin' fur the g'rillas doom the
road, whin l hearn the scrimmage in
front, and came hurryiu' up.
"'But jist as was jumpin' a black
log bit beyant. what should l see but
this same bluidy thafe of lettinant
a-scroochin' down behint the log to gi,
out o. the way o. the bullets. Aud VIVA,
less could say till i'm, as I stirs him
out wild the pint O. my bay net, and
whips out me han 'kercher, and ties vi
his hams, and strikes him up into trot
what less could say till 'im than
"Clowse up, Gilligan! C.o~se up, Gil
ligan!"'
"And with that, Jenny slyly kicked
one Of the geese towards the cOlonel's or
derby; and, administering parting jab tc
his officer, and an exhortaiion to keer
Gilligan we'll CLOSED up thereafter, tool
himself off the scene.
"And, nov, gentlemen" said the doctor
AS he rose and took his hat. its iate, and
| shall follow Gilligan's example, and
'clo~se up. n. G. r., in Youths Com
