1 served the queen for several years,
and | look back on the experience with
neither horror nor shame, During the
twenty five years that have passed since
then the ameioration in the condition OF
the soldier has been incalculable. But
should be untrue to their memory II
did not lift up my testimony that the
men of the old days endured their more
arduous lot with grand primitive rcsiy-
nation
They knew that the quartermaster al,
the butcher were 10 collision in regard
TO the meat ration, that the troop SER
geant major cooked their accounts, and
that the pay corporal had glutinous I'm
gers. Their captain habitually addressed
them az brutes; the surgeon left his du-
ties for days to go hunting. There was
no quick escape for them from those
abuses, for some of them were differs. :
and all were long service men.
But there were no professional agita-
tors in those days, nor any barrack room
lawyers who knew their rights; there
was not great deal of that commodity
of little of which the poet speaks as
"a dangerous thing" and there were no
halfpenny newspapers The discipline
was rigid, how rigid no younger Of to-
day can have any idea: but insubordina-
ton was undrealned of. = Archibald
Forbes in Fortnightly Review.
