LYMAN ENGLISH, Barrister, &o., Oshawa, fod fom Cire" cu daily --| io bed x y Iv November, 21, 1866: ig WHY 1 EXCHANGED. Some years ago I was a subaltern if a marching regiment, and quar- tered in a large garrison town in England. My duties consisted of the usual round of morning and af- work. In addition to this we had, oecasionally, to mount guard, 'and phes'twenty-four hours'in'a sort of imprisonment. the se: that when. officers.or men be in a state of readiness to fall in on parade in a moment's notice. If you feel very sleepy and desire rest, you must take it whilst you arg'buttoned up to the throat and strapped down to the heels, a lounge in an arm chair, or probably a little horizontal refreshment upon a sofa is the ex-- tent of rest which'an officer on guard is supposed to ingulge in, Among our brother subsiterns in garrison it was our usual practice to infringe upon this strict letter of the our duty had been accomplished we used to jndulge ourselves by divest- ing our limbs of their armor, and seeking refreshment between the sheets of a little camp bed that was placed in the inner guard-room. It was part of the duties of an of- ficer on guapd to visit all the sen-- tries during the night, the tittig for visiting them being usually an hour or so after the field officer had visited the guard, the field officer being col- onel or major who was on duty for the day, and who came once by day and once by night to seo the guards and see that all was as it should be. There was no number of times that the field officer might visit the guards, but it was most a custom, for him to come once a day and once by night, so that af ter the last visit the subalterns usu- ally waited an hour or so, walked round the limits of their posts, visit. ol all theit sentries, and then turned into bed. It was a bitter cold morning in January that my turn for guard came on. I marched my men to the post, relieved the 6d gpard, and then, having gone through the regular duty and dined, endeavored to pass the time until the field officer had visited me. The previous evening 1 had been at a ball in town, and in con- sequence was very tired and sleepy, and looked with considerable long-- ing to the period when I could' re- | fresh myself by unrobing and enjoy- ing a good snooze. Atlength I heard the welcome challenge, " Who comes there ?"' which was answered by the re- sponse, " Grand rounds," and "Guards turn out!" was a signal which I willingly obeyed, for I knew that in an hour afterwards [ should be in the arms af the god of sleep. Slipping on my coat and cap, and grasping my sword, [ placed myself in front of the guard and received the field officer, who briefly asked mo if every thing was correct, direct- ed mo to dismiss my guard, and rode off without saying "Good-night" a proceeding that I thought rather formal, Giving di-ections to the sergeant to call me in an hour, for the purpose of visiting the sentries, I threw my- seld into my chair and tried to read a novel. The time passed very quickly as I had a nap or two, and the sergeantappeared with a lantern to conduct me round the sentries. It was a terrible night, the wind blowing hard, whilst the snow and sleet were driving along before it.~-- The thermometer was several de- grees below freezing, and I felt that my ardurous duties. The centries were very much scattered, and I had them all. [ accomplished py task, luxury. partners at the ball, but'sound asleep Suddenly I became conscious of a drum being beaten. At first I could not realize my po-4 sition, and could not remember where I was, but at last it flashed 'across me that I was on gudrd, and that something was the matter.-- | Tumping ou of bed, Xcalled to know | ¢ who was thers. 'Phe sérgeant answered in a great hurry, saying : a ££ Bir, the field officer of the is coming, and the gaurd js turn out.'

I was just in time to receive the field officer, who again asked me if my guard was qqyreet. I answered! rather in a tone of Yes, sir, all I could not imagine why my guard should 'be visited twice, as such a proceeding was unusual, and perhaps my tone seemed to imply that [ was surprised. Whether it was that, or whether a treacherous gust of wind removed the folds of my cloak and exhibited the shghtest taste in life of a night shirt, IT know not; but the field officer, instead of riding off when he received py answer, turned his horse's head in the oposite direc- tion, and said : 'Now, sir, I want you to accom- pany me around the sentries.' Had he told me he wanted me to accompany him to the regiuns below I should scarés have been more hor ror-struck, for Already I bad found the change ¢ of temperature between a warm bed and a warm room and the outside air--and to walk two miles on a windy, frosty night, with no raiment besides boots, night-shirt and cloak, was really suffering for one's country, and no mistake. I dared not show the slightest hes. itation, however, for fear the state of my attire might be suspected, though I would have given a week's paysto have escaped for only five minutes. A non-commissoned officer was ready with a lantern, and we started on our tour of inspection. The field officer asked several questions connected with the position and duties of the sentries, to which I gave answers as well ds the chat- tering of my teeth would permit me The most nervous work, however, was passing the gae-lamps, which would be useless, so there was. po [ belp for me but a full confession. -- [Summoning my courage and to hesitate, I blurted out, 'é. 00 troweérs on.'

It wus evident by the titters of the young ladies, the grins of tho men, and thé. subdued smiles of the dowagers that my story was known, = The colonel had told it as a good joke to the major, who had whisper- ed it to his wife : she had breathed it into the ears of two of her friends and in about ten minutes overy per- son in the room knew a young sub- altern had unwillingly gone his rounds in his night shirt. As long as I stayed in that garri. son I was a' standing joke. When the girls saw me they always smiled and it seemed as impossible for me to, obtain a seious answer {| from any them us for a clown to preach a sermon. They even seemed to be afraid to dance with me, fearing as I afterwards heard to lock at my legs least I might be deficient in some article of raiment. I soon exchanged and went into another regiment ; and years afterwards I heard my own adventure related in a crowded drawing room all the details of the story being tru® except the name of the person--my misfor. tune having been attributed to an unfortuns ate fall. I riever wanted to be on gnard after that night. Two heads are better were placed at intervals of one or than one-- two hundred yards. The wind was especially in a barrel. blowing so fresh that it was with| "A Chicago rinister is affection - difficulty I could hold my cloak {ately advertised as bein: out of a around me, aud gonceal the absence | job. of my under garments. Every now and then an extra gust of wind would come around the corner and quite defeat the precausions which I had adopted to encounter the steady gale. 1 managed to dodge i insbades as much as possible, and more than once ran the risk of being kicked by the field officer's horse, as I slunk behind him when the gas might have revealed too much. It was terrible cold, to besure, the wind and snow almost numbing my limbs. I had a faint hope that the field officer might think that I be- longed to a Highland regiment, and if he did observe the scantiness of my attire might balieve the kilt would explain it: I struggled and shivered on, knowing that all things must have an end, and that my "rounds' must come to an end before long. But I feared that I[ could not agaip got warm dyring the night We had nearly. completed' Qur tour: and were withina few hundred yards of the guardrdom, when we passed the field efficers quarters.-- I fondly hoped that he would not pass them, and that he would dis- miss me at the door; but I was rather surprised to see a blaze of light come from the windows, and to hear the sound of music. It was a '" hop" going on inside, and I al- ready began to tremble from a sort ot instinct that even worse isfor- tune was y et to ttend mé: | My premopitions were true when my persecutor in a cheerful tone, id ; ¢ We've had a cold ¢our ; you wust A New York dentist gives a pre- miunt chromo for every tooth he draws.
