Spanking a Soldier.

A Confederate captain recently told
Mr.. j. A. Watrous, a writer of war
Stories" about two small boys who,
during the Civil War, found their way
into the Louisiana regiment to which the
captain belonged. Both were from ten
to twelve years old, and both had run
away from home, and were serving as
drummers.
AT the battle of Shiloh one of these
little fellows threw away his drum early
10 tie engagement, picked up the musket
of a wounded soldier, and fought like a
young hero as long as the battle ragged.
Not long after the battle, while the
boy-soldier's lauIeis were still fresh upon
him, his mother learned where he was
and came after him. The regiment was
drilling at the time, and the boy was
with it. The mother rushed upon the
battle-ground and seized her boy.
Run away from home, will you?'
she screamed, why, you are nothing
more than a baby. You come right home
with your mother"
AS the boy showed some unwillingness,
she took him across her knee, and, in the
presence of the whole regiment, gave
him a sound spanking. Then she led
him away, the boy crying and boo-hooing
at the top of his voice.
She had to wait some little time for q
chance to get away, and meantime one of
Gne soldiers saw the boy, who was still
crying, aud asked him if he was crying
because bis mother hurt him.
Mop he shouted. DO you suppose
a sold r Ike me would cry because he
as hurt? Didn't 1 fight just as we'll as
the best OF them at the great battle ?"
YES, Johnny; but what are you crying
about ?"
'Im crying because my mother spanked
me right before the whole re%giment!"
In spite of his protests, the boy had to
go home with his mother, as was proper.
