sposed in favorable positions in front and on either side of the altar. The musicians were on the right of the altar, and the drums and bugles on the left, with the cavalry trumpets directly behind. The band's resources in sacred music were evidently very limited, and they were compelled to eke out the accompaniment of the mass with strains which sounded vastly like dance music. At intervals the drums and bugles, alternating with the trumpets, broke in, and gave the ceremony a war-like, fierce and menacing character, which was again changed and softened, when a really respectable choir pealed forth a hymn of thanksgiving and praise to the God of infinite mercies and loving kindness. At the elevation of the Host, arms were presented with a rattling sound, and salutes were fired from the four corners of the camp. The sight of a European army thus at devotion on the plains of Syria was a strange, imposing spectacle and carried the mind back to the days of Godfrey and Cœur de Leon.

Nearly two miles and a half the right wing of our army had been driven, and faintness of heart came over me as the destruction of our whole army seemed to stare us in the face. The right
