It was a little too chilly at the camp
last evening TO admit Of much outdoor
activity, butei,sside the tents there was
much jollity and continuance OF the
reminiscent tales During the even
ing there was some fine music rendered
by the bands in camp. which seemed
specially pleasing on account of the
stiffness Of the night. At 10 o'clock
taps were sounded, but the discipline
OF soldier life was not enforced and
long after the bugle notes had died
away lights could be seen shining from
many a tent. while frequent shouts OF
laughter told OF the story al the ex-
pense of some lUcfless conlrade. And
when at last quiet reigned and tho
boys" closed their eyes I'm sleep. 1t was
the morning should end their slumberS.
