The Old Recruting Sergeant. UEMINI8CENCES OF MILITARY LI1-K. Written for The Adwince lij " Old ,W"<f/-." Gentle reader, in perusing the fol- owing simple narrative, I trnit you will kindly overlook any imperftctions which may come under your notice, ii my feeble attempt to portray the eventful career of one whose daring deeds of valor under the most trying iicuinsiauct'8, one , whose cool but inihiiinitd coinage, finder the galling ire oi the enemy, regardless of his )wn life, saved the lives of others ; one whose brave spit it, but modest character, would rather listen to the liticaiit deeds of others, than i ikol'iln many daring deeds of .ilor performed by llitDMlf. Such a JIIP, dear rtader, was truly entiileil .1 | lure on the role of liritish heroes, v to be honored, rewarded and iueinKrrd by a grateful country. In the autumn of IHOH 1 was trai s rreil tn Hi'i- Mujt-sty's regiment of oot, then etatioued in Jamaica and niic of the oilier West India Islands. On joining tl:e depot of my in w orpn. which was stationed at Fort ii ^cnl, mi the Island of Jersey, nnd "lined part of the Depot liattalion, . was .struck with astonishment and Hilinnation at the number of old veterans who were to become iny new nmiades, and whose breasts were Iccoraied with the emblems of many ami fought bittle, some of whom wore four or five medals for active ci vkv. niany of them beiug iu IKJS- .cssion of the Gwalior bur. a very mudsome decoration, of which the rtiinate owners were justly proud. L'hc most conspicuous of these brave 'lil wiiniora was Color Sergeant H. , he hero of my narrative, on whose c-east active nJ good conduct medal. Let the reader imagine standing him, a burly Grenadier, six height, straight as clean shaved face, glistened seven medals for service, and the long service 'i et five inches in t liinnod, a red, et black hair ani heavy moustache, a lump on the end of his nose as large as a walnut (the result of a sabre cut, of which 1 shall speak bereaftet i read shoulders, full breast and tapered wuist The only impediment 'i what mi^hi he termed a symmetri- cally built soldier, was a pair of enor- feet.

Vet 1 do not for a morrent imagine that the Armstrong gun, tho Mi tford rifle or any of tlie modern and f iniudable engines of war ha.-' i in the least degree the courage of the liritish soldier, who will, whenever called up- on to defend his Queen and country. face the enemy with the same cool, undaunted courage as in days of yore, tjtirely then was tho courage of our troops sorely tried in that hazardous march to Kandahar. It wastbux the heroic spirit of John first 1:1 :.' it- self manitiest by the rescue of a com rade from the clutch, s of half a >' Afghans, three of whom he quickly dispatched witb the butt of bis old brown lies? ; the other three; (-ought safety in flight. For this act of bravery John was promoted to oral. At Cabul we again bear of him performing several acts of bravery, the chief of which WLS the gallant rescue of au ollicer who had bceu seriously wounded and had nnfortnn- iely fallen into the hands of the em my. On this occasion nut only his courage but his activity and giant strength, were called into requisition, and be seemed to be possessed with a charmed life, for he always man to escape unhurt. In those days the Victoria cross was unknown and tin- thought of. but men were often pro- moted for deeds of valor, and John for this act received the appointment of (Jolor bergeant, nnd the esteem of both otlicers and men. My pen is inadequate to here enumerate the many acts of bravery performed by the noble fellow during the eastern ^ campaigns of 1841, '2 and '", neither could I do him justice if I made the attempt, so I shall pass over the two years of trauquility which fallowed the Afghan campaign.
