'I'll give him law to his heart's con
tent, the scoundrel V said Mr. Single
ton, walking backward and forward,
in a state of angry excitement.
'Don't call harsh names, Mr. Single
ton,' said Lawyer Trueman, looking
up from the mass of papers before him,
and smiling, in a quiet, benevolent
way, that was peculiar to him.
'Every man should be known by his
true name. Williams is a scoundrel,
i and so he ought to be called,' respond
ed the client, with increasing warmth.
'Did you ever do a reasonable thing
in your life, w.hen you were angry ?'
asked Mr. Trueman, whose age and
respectability gave him the license to
speak thus freely to his young friend,
for whom he was endeavoring to ar
range some business difficulty with a
former partner.
'I can't sav that I ever did, Mr.
Trueman. But now, I have good reason
for being angry; and the language I i
use in reference to v ilhams 13 but tne
expression of"asdber and rational con
viction, replied Singleton, a little more
ouhuly. i
'Did you.prqnounce him a scoundrel
before you received his reply to your
last letter?,' asked Mr. Trueman.
'So, I did not. But that letter con
firmed my'previously formed impres
sions of his character.'
'But I dannot find in that letter any
evidence proving your late partner to
be a dishonest man. He-will not agree
Trueman; 'therefore I calnnot consent
that you shall write, one word of the
proposed reply.! X friust write; it.
Well, I suppose, then, I shall have
to submit. When will it be ready?'
'Come this afternoon, and I will give
you the draft, which you can copy and
sign.' " I
; In the afternoon, Mr. Singleton,
came, and received the letter prepared
by Mr. Trueman. Ji; ran thus, after

mutual interests. Be kind enough to

an early and amicable adjustment of
our business. You may rely upon my
consent to it, if it meets his approba
tion.' 'Is it possible. Mr. Trueman, that
you expect me to sign such a cringing,
letter as that !' said Mr. Singleton,
throwing it down, and walking back
ward and forward with great irritation
of manner.
'Well, what is your objection to it?'
replied Mr. Trueman, mildly, for he
1 't
was prepared tor just such an exuiDi

'Objection ! How can you ask such
a question? Am I to go on my knees
to him, and beg him to do me justice :
I'd sacrifice every cent 1 ve got
in the Avorld first, the scoundrel!
'You wish to have your business set

looking him steadily in the tace.
'Of course I do honorably settled.'
'Well, let me hear what you mean
by an honorable settlement.'
'Why, I mean '
The young man hesitated a moment,
and Mr. Trueman said :
'You mean a settlement in which
your interest shall be equally consid
ered with that of Mr. Williams.'
'Yes. certainly. And that'
'And that,' continued Mr. Trueman,
'Mr. Williams, in the settlement, shall
consider and treat you as a gentleman.'
'Certainly I do. But that is more
than he has done.'
'Well, never mind. Let what is past

cipal point of action is in the present.'
'But I'll never send that mean,
cringing letter, 'though.'
'lou mistake its whole tenor, I do as
sure you, Mr. Singleton. You have al
lowed your angry feelings to blind you.
You, certainly, ; carefully considered,
before you adopted it, the proposed
basis of a settlement, did you not ?'
'Of course I did.'
'So the letter- which I have prepar
ed, for you, states. Now, as an honest
