Some five years ago 1 xas ruhaUern in

work, lu addition to thi* we l ad occasion

It is one of the regulations of the service
that when officer* or men are on guard they
should always be in a state <•! readiuoss to

A lounge in an atm chair, or upon a sola,
is the extent of rest which uu < Ulcer ou
guard is supposed tojudulge in.
Among uiy brotlter subuilctua in garri
son u was our usual practice to iuiringe
ttpon-thia strict letter ot the hw, and when
the priucipal pun of our duty bad been ac
complished, we used to indulge ourselves
by divesting our limbs of their armor, aud
seaming refreshment between the sheets of
a little camp bed that was placed iu an
inner guard room.
it was part ol the duties of au officer
on guard to visit all the sentries during the
night, the time lor visiting ibc.u being
usually an hour or so alter tire field ofilcut
trad visited tbcgusrd, who was ou duty lot
the day, aud who came ouce by day aud
once by night to see the guaid uud to sue
tbnl all was as it should be. There was no
exact limit to the uurnber of times that the
Held officer might visit the guards, but it
was the usual thing, aud Usd become ai
most a custom, ior him to onmo once by
day and once oy night, so tlmt slier the <
lasivisiltho subaltern usually wailed au
noui or so, walked round the limits ol hia
