A lounge in an atm chair, or upon a sola,
is the extent of rest which uu < Ulcer ou

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

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 <
