Just an old way of writing '' s'', used in both printing and handwriting. Commonly enough seen in stuff published in the 1700s,but by about 1800 it had fallen out of favour and was mostly replaced by our more usual 's'. In any case, it is pronounced the same as 's'. It was used at the start of a word or in the middle, but almost never at the end of a word, where our normal 's' was used .

Thomas Hardy(as seen in his novels) often suggested soldiers were a disruptive influence.
They marched into town, probably left many a young maid, up the duff, and eventually marched on again. She falling pregnant, subsequently could lose what employment she had.
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you,
When I've got no shoes to put on?
Off to the shoe shop she did run,
As fast as she could go
Brought him back the finest that were there
Now soldier, put them on!
Etc, etc
Till
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
With your musket fife and drum.
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you?
With a wife and child at home.
