TIERE was the music of brass band
in little Illinois town. Then came an
irresistible desire to follow that band
and TO see battle. Several months later a
snub nosed lad, with a fresh, ruddy complex
ion and merry, dark eyes, was living in the
trenches with the besieging army in front of
Vicksburg. With ten other boys he had
learned, on the top of an upturned barrel,
under the eye of an irritated drum sergeant,
to beat the long roll, to wake the camp,
mount the guard, and to play for hours at

useless drum, while the ranks of enlisted men
streamed past, rushing forward except to

The Value of Drummers

LIS Colonel indeed had said that in time of
Il an engagement the drummers were to help
in this way, and that they were doing as
much for the country as if they fought with
guns in their hands But in actual battle it
was not easy to remember what the Colonel
had said, when one could hear the charging
cheer of the soldiers away to the front and

Those who are not frugal in

else besides a few meals vituals
and clothes It does not take
spendthrift long to dispense with
his inherited property, or that
which comes INTO his possession
with honest toll. His chief am
bition is to be lauded and honor

young man who has imbibed the
principles of economy will ulti-

tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the

sponsible.
