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 &.
