Raiding the Sutler.

A famous and favorite kind of sport,
especially when we had been lying in
camp for some time in summer. or
were established in winter quarters,
was what was known as trading the
suffer-
The suffers establishment was large
wall tent, which was usually pitched
on the side of the camp farthest away
from the Colonels quarters. 1t was,
therefore, in somewhat exposed and
tempting position. Whenever it was
thought well to raid him, the men of
his own regiment would make to the
men of some neighboring regiment
proposition in some such terms as this:
ssYou fellows come over here some
night and raid our sutler, and we'll
come over to your camp some night and
raid yours. Will you do it,"
This courteous offer of friendly offices
was usually agreed to, and great was
the sport which often resulted. For,
when all was duly arranged and made
ready, on dark night when the sutler
was sleeping soundly in his tent. a
skirmish line from the neighboring regi-
ment would cautiously pick its way
down the hill and through the brush,
and silently surround the tent. One
party, creeping close in by the wall OF
the tent, would loosen the ropes and
remove them from the stakes on one
side, while another party on the other
side, at given signal, would pull the
whole concern over the suffers head.
And, then would arise yells and cheers
for few moments, followed by imme-
, date silence, as the raiding party would
steal quietly away.
Did they steal his goods9 Very sell
dom. For soldiers were not thieves,
and plumber was not the object, only
fun. Why did not the officers punish
the men for doing this? Well, some
times they did. But sometimes the Off
cersabelieved the sutler to be exorbitant
in his charges and oppressive to the
men, and cared little how soon he was
cleared out and sent a-packing; and
/ therefore they enjoyed the sport quite
as we'll as the men, and often initiated
/ Nelson's example when he put his blind
eye to the telescope and declared he
did not see the signal to cease firing.
| They winked at the frolic. and came on
the scene usually in ample time to con
dole with the suler, but quite too late
to do him any service. Harry NJ.

SUNLIGHT ALL THE WY

" Goodbye, Jennie: the road is long,
And the moor is hard to cross;
But well you know there is danger @
In the boys and the marshy moss.
Sc keep in the foot-path, Jennie;
-, Let nothing tempt you to stray;
Then you'll get safely over it,
For there's sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way;
So never you fear,
Keep good heart, dear,
For there's sunlight all the way.
The child went off with a blessing
And kiss of mOther-love:
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
fOn, on in the narrow fOOt-path-
Nothing could tempt her to stray:
SO the moor was passed at night-fall.
And she'd sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way:
And she, smiling, said.
AS her bed was spread:
80 had sunlight all the way
And I, who followed the maiden,
Kept thinking, as went,
Over the perilous moor Of life
What unwary feet are bent.
If they only could keep the foot-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
l Then they would reach the end of life
They'd have sunlight all the way.
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn to the left or right;
For if we loiter at morning.
What shall we do when the night
i. Falls black on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delay9
Then steadily onward, friends, and we
Shall have sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way,
Till the Journeys DER.
And we reach the shore
Of neyer-ending day.

Pascal says somewhere that the history Of
the world would have been different II the Of Cleo
patra had been shorter. From this statement We
may gather that Pascal supposed Cleopatra nose
to have been Just the right length. Otherwise she
would not have enjoyed those social successes which
did affect the history OF Egypt and of Rome. Mr..
Alma-Tadena has Just added his vision OF Cleopatra
To his collected pictures IN the Grosvenor Gallery.
The painting Is admirable, may almost say OF
course, and nothing can be finer than the reflection
of the water OF the AleNaRdrian harbor on q shield
of bronze. Hut We arc chiefly concerned with Mr..
Tadema 3 Idea OF Cleopatra. She is % dark beauty,
with rather bright complexion and she leans back
luxuriousy In her cushions, with pleasant sense
that she sway - the current OF mems blood, ~
and especially of Mark AntOnys. whose boat is lust
approaching her barge. The length of Cleopatra
face IN this picture recalls family the very long nosed
ehigies OF this lady on medals. The Cleopatra OF

than her beauty. Mr.. Tadema's is u more probable
Cleopatra than the goOd-bum0red, grinning
