Another fellow was found away out on the prairie endeavoring to lariat grasshoppers, but the timely interference of the surgeon shut off the sup- ply and its further effects were coutined to the officers l)resent. All old soldiers who are habitual drunkards are much addicted to periodically ^' swearing off/' which usually happens when their money is all gone, or excessive drinking has pretty nearly killed them, or Avhen no whiskey can be procured, and during these periods of abstinence one of t...hese temporarily reformed old sold"ers is exceedingly "uiilitary, " and unduly critical toward drunkards in general. But alas ! the paymaster comes, or the sutler renews his supply, when frail human nature again succumbs, and the old lines are again verified : "When the devil was sick, The devil a monk would be; But when the devil got well, The devil a monk was he. " However, human nature in the army or out of it is about the same, but in a military command it is a little more condensed, as it were, and a greater variety of the lights and shadows thrown into a smaller space than in civil life.
