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 Colonel's 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 a
proposition in some such terms as this:
you fellows come over here some
night and raid our sutler, and We'll
come over to your camp some night and
raid yours. VIII you do itp' @
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. q
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 a given signal, would pull the
whole concern over the suffers head.
And then would arise yells and cheers
for few moments, followed by imme-
diatc silence, as the raiding party would
steal quietly away.
Did they steal his goodsP Very sell
DOM For soldiers were not thieves,
and plumber was not the object, only
fun. Why did not the officers punish
tho men for doing thisp Well, some
times they did. But sometimes the OFF,
GERS believed the sutler. to be cxorbitant
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 well rs the men, and often initiated
Nelson's example when he put his blind
eye TO tho telescope and declared he
did not sec the signal TO cease firing.
They winked at the frolic, apd came on
the scene usually In ample time to con-
dole with the sutler, but quito too late
TO do him any service. --Harfy ~

SUNLIGHT IN THE WAX

" 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 mnrshy moss.
Sc keep In the fOot-path, Jennie;
Let nothing tempt you 10 stray;
Then you'll get safely over IL,
For there's sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way;
SO never you fear,
Keep a good heart dear,
For there's sunlight all the way"
Tho child went OF with n blessing
And a Kiss OF motherloye;
The daisies wcro down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, 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:
had sunlight all the way"
And l, who followed the maiden,
Kept thinking, as went,
over the porilous,moor of life
What unwnry feet are bent.
II they only could keep the foot-pnth,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end OF life
Ere the night could ehroud the day.
They'd have sunlight all tho way.
But the marsh Is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on tho day.
Far better to keep tho narrow path,
Nor turn TO the left or right;
For IL we loitcr at morning.
What shall we do when the night
Falls black on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delayI
Then steadily onward, friends, and We
Shall have sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way,
Till tho journeys DER,
And We reach the shore
or never~ending day.
