"'Yon cannot have anything ! we don''t

In the December Scrilntcr a soldier of
the old Fourth. Cavalry :relates a .very;
striking incident of which .an

was to ie com=of'llie earukis ii

which was six or serer hundred strong

of the enemy. A snow • storm 111.1'S

Yelled themselves, head and eari3, i i
their. blankets.; and. were.. soon soulid
asleep. The test of the incident is -•best j
given in the soldier's nwii words. j

few minutes, when suddenly,I awoke ao
consciousness, being: Made at'v.are of an -
immense pressure upon 131Oi ficcompaiil-

turn either toright or left.- • 1 •soon•,

friendly 'blanket of snow. With rt vi-
gorous push T. threw niy blanket off and
a most :eurions spectacle presented it-
self to my astonished gaze. • The:black'
clouds had passed away end. the bright
morning moon shone down "upon the'
ground covered with a White niantlo of
eight inches of snow. Looking around
as far as my eye could reach. in -every
direction, I saw nothing int the nubl'ok-
ensnow covering what appeared to be
mounds or graves in every coneei 'able.
position. I was sitting upright in my
own grave in the middle of A, huge' co-.:
