IPS ®j-% 'if* y .-i A lew days after this the long siecr.- of Petersburg and Richmond ended iu the capture of both, and when. April 0-12, our «"!ioolbcy friends, then but little over nineteen years of age, were drawn up with the conquering legions of the north to witness that most joy ful yet pathetic event, the surrender of Lee's army, they were saluted by their troopers, one as GapL Leslie ami the other as Lieut. Ainslie. though neither had had time to get, and. in fact, never did get, the uniform of his rank. Gen. Lee's army had been by this time more than decimated by deser tions—if, indeed, that may be called de sertion which was a simple returning to their desolated homes of men who, worn out by war and suffering, saw, even sooner than did their commander, that the cause, for which they had so bravely "fought, was hopelessly lost— little knowing then that from its ruins should arise a re-united and regenerated nation, the wonder and glory of mankind! All the formalities had been complied with; the exhausted, yet, doubtless, secretly rejoicing, private soldiers of the moribund confederacy had marched out in funeral-like procession and piled their arms; their dejected officers had individually signed that historic parole which assured tho peace of the coun try, and by no word, look, taunt or gibe, during all these solemn proceed ings, was either rank or file once in sulted or farther humiliated by their generous conquerors—the citizen-sol diery of that great union their own valor had preserved. Herbert Leslie and Fred Ainslie, their hearts filled with devout grati tude, sat quietly talking in a small tent, which, being now both officers, they once more occupied together, when an orderly entered and, saluting, said: "Captain, a confederate colonel desires admittance, but gives'no name." "Well, orderly, ask the gentleman to come in without ceremony," replied Herbert, and, stooping his lofty crest, Sydney Temple walked into the tent: With a simultaneous shout of joy the young men sprang up and fairly hugged their old friend, while, in the first ex uberance of their delight, they could only say, pver and over again: "Oh, Syd, dear old Syd!" The youthful colonel (he was l.ot yet twenty-one years of age) was pro foundly affected, and his pale, high bred face, though sweetly grave and tender, showed deep traces of care and suffering, as he gently said: "Well, dear boys, we meet once more in our old-timo fashion, and with no dread before us to mar our friendship. Our "OH, SYD, DEAU Ot.D SYD!" cause is lost and yours won; but who knows that in winning it 3-011 have not assured our future good as well as your own?" The union officers glanced at each other in swift comprehension, and Her bert rejoined: "You are not heartbroken then, at the result, Sydney?" "No, my dear fellow, I now believe it is all for the best. Of course, my sec tional pride is greatly humbled, and my grief over the myriad noble lives sacrificed will, I think, remain with me forever. Still, I cannot help feeling a wider national pride iu the achievement of the federal armies. "We have been beaten, not by a for eign foe, but 'by our own countrymen, Americans true as ourselves. We took different views of duty. That is all. Each section has so grandly fought for its own ideas as to gain the lasting re spect of the other, and when the nat ural bitterness and humiliation of de feat are past, the south, after a greater or less period of depression, will rise, under a system of free labor, to a state of higher prosperity and civilization than she has ever yet known." Nothing could exceed the surprise and joy with which the loyalist soldiers listened to these sentiments of their noble friend, and each again grasped one of his hands, as Fred almost rever ently asked: "And how long, Sydney, have you held these views?" "Well, boys, you know that, despite my exaggerated ideas of 'state rights,' I was always an abolitionist. Oar fam ily has not owned a slave since I was born, and I may say that my conver sion dates from the passing of the con stitutional amendment. I, yes and thousands of the southerners, then saw what the real issue was, and, although I could not desert my countrymen in the hour of their despair, I dared no longer honestly pray for the success of our arms." "But, Syd," said Herbert, "we have quite forgotton to congratulate you on your promotion. You have climbed up pretty fast since we parted at Opequan creek—a colonel at twenty-one!" "Yes, Leslie," replied Col. Temple, with a sad smile, "so many older and better men were killed off that I was, of necessity, shoved ahead in advance of my merits; but, seeing that I now address a captain and a lieutenant, I think I may return your compliment with interest." "Oh! in our case it was all pure, blind good luck," laughed Herbert. "Yes, yes, no doubt, good luck well unproved; but, boys, I have a proposi tion to make. I am going out home this evening and I want j'ou to come along and stay a few days. You can easily get leave now, as there is not much to do. My mother and sisters re member you both perfectly and have heard so much about you lately that they will be delighted to see you. When you are mustered out, and after the fair hospital nurses have returned to their homes, I will reciprocate by go ing with you to Philadelphia aud New York. I have several things to do in the latter city and shall probably re move to with it my mother and Sylvia, drop the study of medicine and take up that of law.'' "Good! Capital!" exclaimed the two young fellows in a breath, and so the visit was arranged. There were several carriages at Col. Temple's home, but not a single liorsc nor mule Hl>out the place, his mother having long since given all, even her daughter's saddle horse, to "the cause;" nor—to such u statu was the confcder- BFTLEH. 13A.,I 3 A., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1893.

He, like many other field officers of infantry, had lately served on foot— everything in the C h:ipc of a mount being required for the cavalry. So it happened that when the three friends, all in mufti, rode out to Claremont that night, Sydney Temple, ex-rebel and whilom enemy, bestrode one of Uncle Sam's troop horses, which, however, being quite unaware of his antecedents, carried him peaceably and well. On arriving at the grand did mansion, his mother's home, the little party dis mounted, and Sydney, after bidding his guests a hearty welcome, led them, un observed, into a dimly lighted parlor and sent a servant to call the ladies. Presently, the door softly opened; two elegant women, looking more like sisters than mother and daughter, glided in and, not at once in the partial obscurity noticing the presence of visi tors, both clasped son and brother in their arms. Affectionately returning their em braces, Sydney, after a moment or two, gently disengaged himself and, at the same time turning up the lights, archly said: "Mother, you know the war is over, but yet I have taken two prisoners, whom I will trust to your tender mer cies. In case you may have forgotten them, allow me to present Capt. Leslie and Lieut. Ainslie. Sylvia, you must remember your old schoolboy acquaint ances, I know." "Ah, Sydnoy, this is too bad of you!" said Mi-s. Temple, as the lovely woman greeted the blushing young officers with cordial warmth, "how could you even imagine that we had forgotten your dear friends? Let me welcome yon to Claremont with all my heart, go:.vlemen. And, Capt. Leslie, accept now the deep gratitude we owe for the life of a son and brother so gallantly saved by you." "Oh, madam," stammered poor Her bert, "you overwhelm me. The merest stranger could have done no less that day at Opequan." "We must suppose that every true soldier would have felt the impulse, captain," rejoined the lady, "but how many would have acted with sufficient promptitude, when the delay of an in stant meant death?" Then, turning to Fred, she graciously added: "And you, too, I must congratu late, Mr. Ainslie, not only upon your own honorable record, but also upon the noble conduct of your sister, of both which subjects I have heard more than you, perhaps, imagine." It was now the young lieutenant's turn to feel embarrassed and he blushed furiously under the kindly regard of the ladies, while ingenuously replying: "My sister has indeed acted nobly, Mrs. Temple, as have thousands of other northern women, but yet I may venture to say that their devotion has been fully equaled by that of their southern sis ters. I, too, (with a low bow) have heard something of sacrifices made and loving labors performed by even the fairest and most tenderly nurtured of your countrywomen." "Ah, yes, Mr. Ainslie," modestly said the beautiful Sylvia, "all have done their duty, and, when the present bit terness of defeat has passed away, this fact alone will unite the north and south as never before, simply through the deep sympathy and admiration which the women of each section must churish for those of the other." "Not to mention another extremely probable fact," mischievously observed Col. Temple, "that the mutual admira tion society will naturally include the men." "That is a foregone conclusion," said Capt. Leslie. "No doubt the ex-war riors of both sides will continue to raid their late enemies' territory and carry off lots of prisoners, but never of their own sex." And so, in the exercise of polite for bearance and mutual respect, hosts and guests were soon on terms of pleasant intercourse. Most of the servants at Clarcmont were colored people or tho children of such, manumitted by the late Judge Temple on the birth of his son, and al though each and everyone of them had faithfully assisted their mistress in min istering to the needs of distressed con federate soldiers, nothing could exceed the loving assiduity with which all now waited upon the household guests—who had been battling, as they well knew, in the interests of their own race. "Mammy" Rose, the old family nurse, aptly voiced the sentiments of the whole staff when she said to Sylvia, that first night: "Oh, bress do Lawd, honey, dot I'se libed ter sec disday! I'se real sorry fur de souf, but, same time, I'se mighty proud ob de norf, an' ole marse he's jes gloryin' in Hebben dis minit 'cause ob de 'mancipation what he alius prayed mouglit cum ter de poo' culled folks sum day. An', Miss Sylvy, we'se all a goin' ter treat dese lubly young gem plemcns, what young marse liaz brought home, jes bu'full" "That Is right, mammy," Miss Tem ple replied; "they are brave men, who have fought gallantly for their own cause as we did for ours. The God of battles has decided, and, however much our pride is humbled, we must believe that all is for the best." < For one whole week the young north erners enjoyed the hospitality of their southern friends, aud during these happy dai's it might have been noticed that while Herbert generally paired off with Sydney or Mrs. Temple in their walks and boating excursions, Fred Ainslie was invariably found by the side of Sylvia— and, to judge by the bearing of tho singularly attractive pair, no one could have guessed that they had so lately beeu sworn enemies. May 22 and 23, there was held at Washington a grand review of the two principal armies of tho republic, and very shortly thereafter "the boys in blue" were mustered out and dismissed to their homes, amid the grateful plaud its of their countrymen. According to promise, Sydney Tem ple accompanied his old schoolfellows on their homeward journey, which took them first to Philadelphia, Herbert Leslie, for some reason or otner, being quite as anxious to visit Mrs. Aiuslio as was Fred himself. From an equally unaccountable motive, the goal of Col. Temple's desires seemed to be New York. but he cheerfully stayed for a few days at Fred's home and made the acquaintance of his mother and sLster, who returned his own hospitality with interest. Then he and Ilerbert, leaving their friend to follow and resume his mercan tile life at leisure, went on to Gotham and were received with rapturous de light by Mrs. Leslie, who insisted upon her son's friend making her elegant mansion his present home. It very strangely happened that when the two young men arrived Miss Jennie Glynn was spending the evening with Mrs. Leslie—a circumstance with which both, and especially Sydney, seemed rather pleased than otherwise, but, of course, only because it gave him an op portunity to see her safely home that night and renew his acquaintance with her mother! Being thoroughly in earnest, it did not take long for young Temple to make arrangements for entering the litof Sharp &. Piersou along >.viih il _'rt, and in the course of a few u> >\i', -h Mrs. Ainslie and Mrs. Temple removed to New York for good; and Fred once more engaged with the great firm of Draper <fc Moore in his favorite pursuit of selling dry goods. Twenty-six years of blessed peace have succeeded those awful four of civil war. The warm-hearted, impulsive cit izens of the south have joined hands with the cool, determined men of the north in all enterprises which go to make a people great; and their united progress in this one quarter of a cen tury has justly dazzled, by its transcend ant magnitude and glory, the eyes of a wondering world. Our three friends, only now in the prime of vigorous manhood, have suc ceeded as pluck and energy ever do succeed. The famous law firm of "Temple and Leslie" is known all over the union, while the ships of the gTeat mercantile house of "Ainslie and Moore, Jr." sail every sea. The three old-time school mates reside side by side in "brown stone fronts" far up town. All have been married for more than fifteen years and all have families of bright, capable children, who, however, still insist upon getting perpetually "mixed up" on the question of relationship— the young Temples claiming that be cause Mrs. Fred Ainslie is "Aunt Syl via," Mrs. Herbert Leslie must neces sarily be "Aunt Miriam," and the ju venile Leslies as strenuously assorting that Mrs. Sydney Temple is as much their own "Aunt Jessie" as that of the little Ainslies. As a matter of course, the youngsters aro in the same muddle in regard to the three lovely old ladies, each one of whom is claimed by every child of the several crowds as "grand mamma!" THE EXD.

The People Are Kept In a Constant Ter ror for Fear of an Erup tlon—A Gigantic Crater. A recent cable message from Shang hai Informs us that the Japanese vol-' cano Bandal-san is again active. This is the mountain -that was in a fierce state of eruption in ISBS. when nearly one-half of the main peak split off and fell over upon villages, arable land and forests, burying hundreds of humm beings, damming up some streams and changing the course of others, and so altering the entire appearance of the country that even at this day, accord ing to the New York World, the ghast ly effects of the cataclysm are still horribly apparent. To add to the ter rors of the immediate explosion vast streams of lava and volcanic mud poured out over the land, carrying the work of destruction far beyond the limits of the fallen mountain, lleyond the range of these, again, huge masses of rock were hurled by the force of the explosion, carrying death and destruc tion to hamlets and villages over a mile from the peak. Handal-san is one of the six volca noes of Japan at present or quite re cently In a state of activity. The oth ers are Asamayama, Shirane-san, Yries island (Oshima), Asosan anil Koina-ga take. The first two are in eastern Ja pan. in the geographical division known as the Nakasendo, and have been fre quently visited by foreigners. The third is in the Pacific ocean, just south of the entrance to Tokio bay, and its smoky cap, at times suggesting a heavy fog bank, will be distinctly remem bered by all who have been to or come from Yokohama by steamer. This is land is in plain sight from the famous seaside resort and historical place, Kamakura. Its smoke is looked upon as an earthquake barometer, a sort of vent for the hidden forces of nature. When the smoke is visible the people feel that there is no great danger of earthquakes, but when the smoke dis appears they think that the pent-up ■team must assert itself in some other way. It is said that for some days prior to the great earthquake of Oc tober, 1891, no smoke at all was seen over Vries island and the fishermen along shore were extremely nervous. The fourth volcano is in the province of Iligo, southern island of Kyushiu. It is about eight}- miles due east of the port of Nagasaki, but being separated by Shiinabara bay from the peninsula on which that town is situated, is not readily accessible. Still a good many foreigners, residents of Japan and visitors from China principally, have visited it and it well repays all effort, for it has the largest crater in the world. The fifth volcano is only a few miles east of the port of Hakodate. It is a singularly beautiful mountain and as the road from Hakodate to Volcano bay past the lakes is a good one many people visit the mountain. The view of it from the deck of a small steamer which crosses Volcano bay is the most beautiful of its kind in all Japan. Bandal-san is in the province of Iwa ■hiro, and is about one hundred and seventy-five miles north of Tokio. It is readily accessible, as the Northern railway, now open, runs within a com paratively short distance of it, and this is the line over which all who visit the famous shrines of Nikko pass. The in terest which was awakened in the mountain in 1888 has made it one of the "show" places of Japan, and tourists often go there. In 1888 the relief com mittees and scientists who visited tho scence of destruction as soon as possi ble had considerable difficulty in get ting across country and had to put up with many hardships. All of these volcanoes are included in the list of "sacred mountains" of Japan and are annually visited by large num bers of pilgrims during the summer months. Wherever one travels at that season bands of these interesting- peo ple are met They wear white clothing of a certain pattern, are equipped with a mat on which they sleep at night and use as a protection against the sun or rain during the day, and a peculiar, bowl-shaped hat of hugh dimensions. Although peerless Fuji-Yama is con sidered the most sacred of all the fa mous mountains and is undoubtedly of volcanic origin, it is not active. There is one place on the west side where the ground is noticeably warm, and indi cations of seismic potentialities are not wanting. Turkish Superstition*. If a pair of scissors are left on a tabic open it is a sign of a quarrel. If they fall upon the floor and stick up it means a visit, and if an apple or other fruit falls from your hand just as you are about to put it in your mouth it is a sign some one envies you. If a loaf or a piece of bread falls to the floor it is a sign that some of your relatives are in want of bread in a strange place. To bite your tongue signifies that you are not. telling the truth. The little white spots which coine under the linger nails mean various things, according to the finger. The right thumb nail means money earned; the left, finding money or a present. The first fiuger means friends, the next en emies, the third journeys and the little one fibs. When an eyelash falls off and lies on the cheek it means a pres ent of a new gown or other article of wearing apparel. Sa»|>en«e Too <ire»t.

V. ly io i'rovfiit It I* by MaSs- a Doml Air Several complain that when the cold gets intense their ensilage will fro -.:e round the walls of their silos, and sometimes, when taken out. will be come quite frosty between one feeding and another. If the silo is built in one of the hay bents, the hay will rest against it on either side, which is ample protection providing your bay in filled in all the way from the bottom of the silo up. \\ here there is no pro- \ j | -——"■ ■- -■-] tection of this s- rt, the surest way to prevent freezing 0:1 the walls ij to sheath up with matched boards on the outside of the studding, thus malt ing a dead air space. Yon should, however, hang with hinges a board jointed close, near the bottom, and another near the top. These should be left open until it becomes cold, and should be opened ajjain as soon as the weath'#.- grows warm in the spring. This allows a circulation of air and dries tiut the moisture from the walls of the silo to prevent decay. To prevent the ensilage frosting from one cutting to another, top of the silo tightly covered, and a close tittiug door where you enter.—A. T. Ilainmon, in Farm and Home. CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE.

Twice aerating wil I help it wonderfully. When .you churn the cream «roni such milk always gran ulate to somewhere near the size ol No. 8 shot. Draw off the buttermilk and cover the butter with ice-colcl water. Let it stand ten or fifteen minutes and draw off. then repeat. This will free it from the taint as much as you can by me chanical means. For a long time we have wanted to try to neutralize this taint, and wish that some of our read ers, who are troubled in this way, would put about an ounce of rose water to sixty gallons of cream before churning and report their experience with it We believe it would work but the lack of garlicky cream prevents our making the experiment at some future time.

"We put some up in June and used it in October and it was almost as fresh a? when put up. The jars were filled by putting in a small lump of butter, then pressing it down well with a piece of hard wood made to fit the mouth of the jar; then putting in more and pressing it down, until the jar was tilled to the ncclt. The neck was then filled with salt and a cloth put on top and the lid screwed on as tightly us possible." A Queer Order.
