ARMY PUNIsHMENTs In different s

ARMY PUNIsHMENTs In different Sec
| tions of the army, various expe dients wer'
| resorted to for the purpose of correcting
minor offenses. What particular shape
the punishment should assume depended
very much upon the inventive faculty of
the field and staff. or of such officers of
the line as might have charge of the case
Before taking the field, a few citizen
sneak thieves were discovered prowling
about among the tents. These were
promptly drummed out of camp to the
tune of the "Rogues' March," the whole
regiment shouting in derision as the mis-
cradle fellows took 10 their heels when the
procession reached the limits of the camp,
where they were told to be gone, and
never show their faces in camp again on
pain of more severe handling.
If, while we we're lying in camp, man
refused to do his duty, he was at once
taken to the guard house, which is the
military name for ''lcckup" Once there
at the discretion of he officers, he was
either simply confined and put on bread
and water, or else ordered to carry 10y
of wood, or knapsack filled with stones,
''two hours on and two off, day and
night. until such time as he was deemed
to have done sufficient penance. In more
extreme cases, a court martial was held,
and the penalty OF forfeiture of all pay
due, with hard labor for thirty days, or
the like, was inflicted.
One day, down in front of Petersburg.

call on some acquaintances over in another
regiment. As we were returning home,
we came across what we took to be well,
and, wishing drink, we all stopped
The we'll in question, as was usual there,
was nothing but barrel sunk in the
ground; for at some places the ground
was so full of springs that, in order to get
water, all you had to do was to sink box
or barrel, and the water would soon collect
of its own accord. STOPPING down and
looking into the barrel in question, Andy
discovered man standing in the well,
engaged in bailing out the water.
"Whats he doing down there in that
holeP" asked some one of our company.
"Why," said the guard, who was stand
ing near by, and whom we had taken for
the customary guard of the spring, "you
see, comrades, our colonel has his own
way of punishin' the boys. One thing he
wont let 'em do-he wont let 'em get
intoxicated. If they do, they go into the
gopher hole. Jim, there, is in the gopher
hole now. That hole has a spring at the
bottom, and the water comes in pretty
fast; and if Jim wants to keep dry, he's
got to keep dippin' all the time, or else
stand in the water up to his waist-and
Jim isn't so mighty fond O. water, neither. !"

Unbelief comes oftener from irreverent
association than intellectual doubt. The
sneer of Voltairc has killed more than all
his arguments. A jesting tone of talk
and religious truths, habit of reckless
criticism on religious things is to take the
name of God in vain as truly as the vulgar
oath; and when | hear him who calls him
selfa Christian, or gentleman, indulging
in burle>que Of this sort, | at once recognizes
some moral defect in them Intellect
without reverence is the head of a man
joined to a beast. There are many who
think it proof of wit; but it is the
cheapest sort of wit and shows as much
lack of brains as of moral feeling Req.

Science has foundation, and 80 has
religion. Let them unite their foundations,
and the basis will be broader, and they
will be two compartments of one great
fabric reared to the glory of God. Let
the one be the outer, and the other the
inner court. In the one let all look and
admire and adore; and in the other let
those who have faith kneel and pray and
praise. Let the one be the sanctuary
where human learning may present its
richest incense as an offering to God. and
the other, the holiest of all, separated from
it by veil now rent in twain, in which
on blood sprinkled mercy seat we pour
out the love of reconcled heart, and
near the oracles of living Gol-Pres.

TRUTH

For this is loves nobility
Not to scatter bread aud gold,
Goods and raiment bought and sold;
But to hold fast his simple.sense,
And speak the speech of innocence;
For he that feeds men serveth few,
He serves all who dares be true.

there are some persons who are
said-perhaps unjustly-to have a

be almost indistinguishable from il,
and hence it seems better to ad-

far enough away to guard against

1900 people were on the grounds

In the rear of tho pavilion an

sports were INDUCED in peculiar 10
the Scotch. The fun opened with
the throwing of the heavy hammer
which was simply cannon ball
fastened on to long handle and
thrown over the turf. The ball was
abou. the size of pumpkin and
took a muscular negro's strength
to carry it around. When the
Scotch muscle was scientiicly APP
piled the hammer went fiyinc
through the air as if it was one of
those ordinary implements for
shingling roofs with. Then came
the putting Of heavy stones, foot
races, sack races, jumping, pole
vaulting. tossing the caber, etc.
THE RACING
Was very exciting, especially the
ladies race. Such a tWinkling of
pretty feet and flashing of embroi-
dered hosiery can only be seen at
Caledonia picnic, where the fair sex
run to win. They bounded over
the turf at a speed that good many
men could not equal and of course
fell IN a promiscucus heap on the
nome stretch. Then each woman
gets up and lays it on all the rest.
They carried out the usual pro-
,ramne most charmingly and the
pectators enjoyed it highly. Up
