A Little War Sketch.
THAT'S ALL THERE WAS OF 1T, AS TOLD
BY 81. QUAD.

One night, when his stomach had re-
belled at the coarse fare of the poor
house table, and he had been cursed
and sneered at and told that It was too
good for him, he sat by the open window
and looked out into the darkness. His
wounds panied and his heart ached, but
not for long. The ra tatl tail of the
drums suddenly came to bis ears, and
through the gloom of the night he
caught sight of waving flag and march
ing men. 1t was a company marching
away to the war. New life came too
his blood-new strength to his limbs.
He looked more closely, and he saw that
he himself marched in the ranks and
waved his cap in response TO the cheers
Of the populace.

Again the roar AMI din of battle came

tysburg. His sleeves new bore the in
sigma of an orderly sergeant, and as he
looked up and down the lines of bis
company he was amazed to see how few
men were left him, and how bronzed
and old their faces looked. The earth
shook as if earthquakes were battling.
Death laughed at prospects of such a
harvest, men were no longer men. but
demons. The crash died away, and
there came the vengeful crackle of mus
kerry. Right into the fame of fire ad-
