lity of
Southern Christians. I condemn myself in saying this. But having myself
been converted, I have hope for everybody."

During this talk, Mr. North was affected somewhat as he said his wife
was when he first read the Southern lady's letter to her. He was a
little incoherent by reason of his emotions; but he made out to say
something about the sweetness and the strength of reconciled affections,
and of the happiness which there would be when it should be proclaimed
that the North and the South are once more friends.

"What is your whole name, Mrs. North?" said I; "for I shall wish to
speak of you to the Southern lady, if I write to her father."

"My Christian name," said she, "is Patience."

"PATIENCE NORTH!" I said to myself, once or twice, as I stood at the
parlor door. I was musing upon the name perhaps ten or fifteen seconds,
and when I looked up, they were each both smiling at me and crying.

We shook hands, and I went my way.
