His Work Finished.

During the opening stages of the war a New York soldier was told that there were three rebs to every Union soldier then in Virginia. He went into action at Bull Run with great vigor, but later his company sergeant was horrified to see him shoulder his rifle and calmly march to the rear. “Where are you oft to?” he roared. “Me?” he replied. Oh, I’ve killed three of the enemy; I’ve done my share, so I’m off back to Washington to get my pay."
