DRAW YOUR CONCLUSIONS
Mr. Beloit Buffam was thirty-five, portly, of
a comfortable fortun,e, blue-eyed, in excellent
health, a bachelor , argumentative to the last
degree, and a ci:dirant lawyer. The third
year after his admission to the bar he left the
profession in disgust, and on strictly logical
reasons. The judges had 'a ridiculous fashion
of stopping argument by something called a
"sentence," just at the moment when Belah
liuffum, Esq., was most in the mood of press
ing the question to its ultimate bearings. Just
as his antagonism was developed to its motor
est pitch, down came a crusher on all legit].
mate reasoning, or, that disregarded, punish
ment for contempt of court. So, having ar
gued several clauses clear up to that jumping
off place, that Montauk Point of legal logic,
the Court of Appeals—having offered before
the whole eight judges to submit the question
which they had decided against him to an en
lightened public sentiment, and the judges
and public sentiment being both perfectly will
ing, on the payment of the costs, Mr:Buffum
disdainfully leaped from the Montauk alive
said, and made his final plunge into the ocean
of private life. It may be thought that I
should confuse the metaphor and say the peace
ful lake of private life. But no 'to Mr. Bur
fum the domestic circle was dear only as a
maelstrom of seething disputation, and home ,
sweet home, precious as a place where some
one to argue with could always be kept at
hand.
In spite of this combatant disposition, his
natural goodness of heart was such that Behilt
Buffalo had friends by the dozen—always
ready to oblige him by taking the' other side
in every thing, because they knew he loved
them the better for it—always ready to pitch
into hint on any subject whatever, from trans
cendental theology to the new breed of hens.
One of theseThends had been a gentleman
of the name of Shearsworth; who one day
happening to die, prefaced his departure by
handing him his will, with the information
that he had left him—Buffmn—executor and
guardian of his only child, Adolphus, who, on
certain conditions, was the solo legatee.
At the time tills history opens Adolphus
Shearswood was twenty years of age, and had
been under the tutilage, as well as at the coun
try residence, of Mr. Suffurn for the period of
eighteen months. During part of this time he
had 11101 a private tutor, and was supposed to
be preparing for college. : But the tutor belnd
a Scotchman of the most inveterately markeil
Calvinistic type, as 0 matter of course made
Mr. Bufftun at fiery Arminian ; so that after a
month of agony, with burning ears and his
wardrobe in a silk pocket-handkerchief, Mr.
M'Cracken fled front what he entitled "joast
an cenfidel how."
After the departure of the tutor Mr. Buffum
resolved to take Master Adolphus's education
into his own hands. He read Virgil with his
ward, managing to pick a quarrel with him 011
the construction of every line. Even the sub
ject of algebraic roots and geometric angles,
by philosophers hitherto regarded the most
certain of all themes, was not closed to dis
cussion ; the, although Mr. Buttum could. not
deny that the square upon the hypothonuse is
equal to the sum of tile squares on the other
two sides, he could still wage battle (01 the
ground that there was a vastly better Way or
proving it than the one in the book.
Now this to Mr. Buffunt was a mighty pleas
ant way of spending his time, but to Adolphus
no stupider manner of life could be imagined.
Accordingly, one morning, after having Fought
the simplest bread-and-butter questions formn
hour and a half, he took courage to tell Mr.
Butfum that lie had determined to introduce a
change in their routine.
"Mr. Buff= I'm confoundedly bored by
1111 this argument, this perpetual jabber of dis.
cession from morning till night. I Rill going
to abandon it. Henceforth I throw logic to
the dogs; I diyertmyself from It in every

"Fish! you talk like a fool. Are you

"Not yet ; though I should he if I endured

" Who is the.other goose ?"
" Be kind enough to moderate your language

should hate to have to fight you before I have
found her ; and after that I assure you that
my time will he too well occupied."
"Do you know that you are talking mad

"Yes, Sir, the very same. During your

lifetime he was never able to effect his pur-

boarding-school—would necessarily be heiress

"The devil!" ejaculated Adolphus, his
black pyes flashing, and his fist clenched tight.
"It is intended then to force me into marry

' " Why not, Sir ? Undoubtedly, Sir ! Am

"And do I understand that after the prop;

"That kind of thing occurs frequently—in

For a moment the young man looked at his
senior fis if about to .pitch into him bodily ;
then his old habit of regard for authority got
the better of him, and changing the expression
of wrath for one of contempt, he turned his
back on Mr. Balfour and left the room.
One of his favOrite retreats when harassed
with protracted spinning in his guardian's do
mestic maelstrom had always been the house
of Jetries the coachman—a cottage on the
property of Mr. Buffum, nearly a quarter of a
mile from the great house, neatly kept by a
tidy wife; who also acted as dairy-woman of
the estate, and a veritable Lotus Bay to any
who might seek repose from premise and con
clusion. For not only could Adolphus there
solace himself with emollient fresh cream and
pot-cheese, but James and his wife, as them
selves would say, were both Irishmen; and
where could any body get further out of tits
atmosphere of logic than In such society as
that ? Intending therefore to divert his mind
and cool his fever'by an hour's gossip with
the two good-natitred Pitddywhacks, and a
comfortable pall at his cutty as he sat 'at the
1)00 in their best hichnry bottomed easy
chair, Adolphus now threw honself with angry
but gradually moderating' strides toward the
coachman's cottage. Just as he entered the
muse by the front-door he was suro he saw a
retty face and figure slip out of the back one.
In all the world there is no "such fascinating

lie found James nursing a sore finger, tarn
on a nail in the cow-house, in muslin swath-
lugs ample for the envelope of any reasonably
sized baby—" quite kilt" by his wound, as his
nation are wont to beat eVeiy affliction, from
a death in the family •to corns—but solacing
his woe in a manner equally national with
something red which his wife had,mixed him
in a tumbler, and, for a " kilt" person, begin-
ning to feel pretty resigned.
After imparting his friendly condolence, not
only by words but in the more expressive mode
of slipping a dollar into Maggie's hand " to get
something to make James comfortable," he
feigned to depart, then turned on his heel and
made the casual inquiry :
"Oh, by-the-way, can yon tell me the name
of the old lady who slipped out of the back
door just, as I came in ?'
" llivin bless yer kind heart, Misther Adol
phus !" cried Maggie. "Ay, an' open yer eyes
too, if ye can't till the' difference, at your time
o' M, God bliss mc, betwane an ould woman,
and the prettiest girl in all Cobble Counthy !"
"You don't mean to say that the person
who went out of this house as I came in wits a
pretty young girl?"
"Faix an' Ido that. It was Miss Lotty
Burrill, and her dither owns the farm next Mr.
linlfum's—only he's dead now, poor cowl—
sorra for hint !—and she and the mother are

"Ilas Miss Burrill gone horml ?"

AS soon as James kilt his linger in the cow
house 1 ran across the field to get her—for she
has a wonderful knowledge o' doctherin', end
many's the time she's been good to us alriddy..
But as soon as she beard a gintleman at the
dhoor she went out like a young deer—for
she's shy of strangers—and she said she'd
walk in the garden a bit till you was gone."
" Well, Maggie, I want to thank her for
taking such good care of you and James,
Supposii you just call herd n and introduce me."
" Very, well, Misther Adolphus." Maggie
openedithe bank-door and calleda ..
"Miss Lotty I West ;Lolly ! Darlint, can

linger ber' re you go mica e mouser r
From the length of time-which elapsed be
fore any answer was returned, It seems un
questionable that Miss Lotty must have been
at some very distant portion of the premises;
where looking in at the blinds was absolutely
impossible.
At last, however, the young lady came in.
Without the slightest idea that any body was
present save her Irish proteges, and with
cheeks flusher by her late exercise in the gar
den, she tripped tip to examine that dolorous
bale of unbleached muslin, James's linger ;
then, with the prettiest little air of trepidation
and surprise, catching sight of Adolphus, made
a half step back tow and the door again.
"Miss Murrill," said Maggie, with • frank
brevity, "tins hOlisther Adolphus that I've
tould ye of so often."
The young lady bowed modestly, and
amended .Veggie's nomenclature by murmur
ing. "Mr. Shearsworth."
I could not bear to leave the house, Miss
BurrilV said Adolphus, " without expressing
the gratitude felt by myself (and I am sure I
may speak for Mr. Bottum too)' for your re
peated acts of kindness to these favorite family
servants."
" Pray don't mention it, Sir. The little I
can do for diem is a great pleasure to me."
"ht deed I don't doubt that ; I can easily
believe that kindness is your favorite luxury ;
but it none the less demands au acknowledg
ment. I have been for sometime Intending to
make a call upon Mrs. Burrill and yourself for
that purpose 7113 wall as 'neighborly courtesy.
But you. know that business is the order of the
day at Mr. Bulfum's and until now I have
beets detained, very much against my wishes,
I can assure you. May I have the happiness
of walking home with you, and being intro
duced to your mother this morning?"
The young ladyassented witha blush of in
nocent pleasure ; and as the two went out of
James Kilpatrick's door together that patient
sufferer gave Maggie a knowing wink out of
the tail of his eye, and pointed at them with
the invalid ringer. An artist of the High Ideal
school would have chosen a different repro-
Sentative for the linger of Fate—Might probil
bly have preferred for his material bronze or
marble to enroll of ounbleached muslin ; but
Fate is no respecter of: high art schools,. and
the linger could not have been more signifi
cant, more prophetic.'

eighteen, with those great soft brown eyes

BS least loveliness to Adolphus—and the ini
pression grew upon Itimwas that it looked
as If It never had been, never could be, the
gateway of logic. And as they went toward
Mrs. Burrill's, and the first timidity of the in

was a girl who talked front her womanly
Iteart ; and, being pure end unselfish, who was
always intuitively right in her perception of
the regions where slip ventured. Scarcely had
they traveled a - •furlong of fresh, green mea

guest. "Let us sit down directly. Eliza
may begin to fry the cakes."
Adolphus forthwith took his seat bet Ween
the mother and daughter at a cosy little round
table covered with spotless linen, and felt as If
he was about breakfasting with the gods.
There was coffee, with no arguments upon the
subject either : of its adulteration or probable
effect in producing degeneracy of the fidiban
species ; crisp pork fried in batter, and not a
sign of any disquisition upon the Levitical stat
utes against the pig; rice-cakes, without the
seasoning of a debate upon the slave labor
which produced their basis. 0, this was hea
ven I A clean motherly face in a clean mother
ly cap on ono side, and Lotty Burrill's on the
other t
41. Was delightful to he asked how Mr. Buf-
Alm's stock was doing; if the new Beach
cows gave as much milk as the Aldcrneys
how the cross between the Berkshire and the
Chinese pigs turned out ; and if there was any
prospect of the sorghum's succeeding. Mr.
Buffum had prize-cattle ; but he had always
forgotten their horns when talking with Adol
phus in his anxiety to get him on those of a
dilemma. He had pigs ; but whether they
rooted satisfactorily or not was of far less con
sequence with hint than the root of the discus
sion. He had planted several acres with the
Chinese sugar cane ; but instead of interesting
Adolphus in his saccharine projects, he had
continually directed his attention to the Attic
salt.
Now that Adolphus could sit quietly over a
good breakfast and enjoy that, amicable con
versation without debate, for which he was
still hungrier, a profound peace, - as the tier
mans say, settled into 'his soul ; and the
thought of guardian Baum taming over his
lonely coffee without a creature to squabble
never once entered his head. Oh ! it Was an
ambrosial breakfast !
The meal being over how could he resist
Lotty's invitation to the barn, to look at the
motherless lamb she was nursing ? And after
he had patted the little creature and admired it
to her heart's content (or its mistress through
it, their fingers meeting accidentally in the
soft wool), what logical motive could prevent
his beholding her garden—the violets which
might be plucked to put in her glossy hair,
the heliotropes which she could stick in his
button-hole ' blushing when she said, " Don't
you know they mean devotion V feigning to
pull them out again ; but finally, on his earnest
entreaty, granting him permission to keep
_
them there.
And at last, when he felt that he really must
go ; that it was nigh noon, and Mr. Bantu
would be wondering what had become of him,
why should she not go down to the boundary
fence with him, walking slowly as if. there
were no Baum in the world to wonder?
Why, before they parted, should he nut ven
ture to re-arrange the one , violet which had
drOpped, as they went, front its place in her
silken braids? And Why should she not say
that really it seemed to her as if they had been
children together?
Then he leaped the fence and walked hme.
scarce daring to look over his shoulder lest
their eyes should meet, yet unwilling to go
without one last lingering glance at her, and
again repeating to his heart that earlier im
parted confidence : " This is the girl whoM
gill fall in love with !"
" Well, Sir !" was the salutation with which
Mr. Butfum met hint ont.he piazza. " What
reason have you to .plead for staying away
from breakfast ?"
"None," replied Adolphus, with especial
coldness, "save that for once I have been so
fortunate as to breakfast without reasons."
For the next few weeks Mr. Baum daily
grew more and more desolate ; lie had not
been so unhappy since the day when lie found
that you cannot argue as mach as you want to
even in a lawsuit. For now he could not
argue at all. Adolphus Shearsworth never
vouchsafed a syllable more to hint than was
require(' oy at 'OM Llf uteest‘nyonto s,mui mast
of his time out of Use house—Mr. Bunco knew
not where—without the slightest pretense of
accounting for his absence. How many thou
sand times did lie wish front the bottom of his
heart that Charlotte Lumley were at Halifax ;
that old Shearsworth had had any other topic
on earth to think of in that solemn hour when
he made his final testament. But he had
taken his ground with Adolphus—he could
not back down without confessing himself de
fendant in error, the mere thought of which
made him yellow with chagrin. His pride lot •
might have overcome, fin he loved the boy ;
but, oh, his idolized log c ! The thing was
rational I incontrovertible ! irrefutable !
He must carry out the commatuls of his testa
tor ! lle had no option ! There I Ile was
right ! Ho knew he was !
Under any other circumstances Adolphus.
would have been equally miserable. lie was
a youth of warns and generous impulses, and
had acquired a sincere affection for his guard
ian. Mr. Buffum, when his ward's back was
turned, often looked on him wit.k.tt sigh.
"Poor boy, how dreadfully this troiMe will
prey upon his mind ! afraid he'll go into
a consumption."
But, as usual, Adolphus defied all the log
ical processes, and showed no signs either of
consumption or wear. He exhibited ti sus
tained frigidity of demeanor which would
have made his fortune if any railway company
which pays no dividends could have put him
inside its office rail to answer the stockholders'
questions. Ills cheeks wore a healthier
bloom, his eyes a clearer brightness, than Mr.
Buffum had seen there'since his ward entered
Aristotle Cottage. Thus the guardian's prem
ises "fell down and broke their crown," and
his conclusions, like Gill, " came tumbling
after." Thus. he became still more piqued,
still more determined not to bate one tittle of
his determination. Thus these two of tln
most excellent people in the world made ad
mirable progress In the. familiar art of misun
derstanding each other.
The source front which Adolphus drew his
cheerfulness was quite out of sight of Mr. Buf
fum. lie knew the Burrills only by name,
and had never discovered any rational argn ,
ment for going to see them. ,lle merely felt
that, being women, they were wholly illogical,
incapable of fair discussion, and so altogether
unprofitable to a man with his serious pur
poses In existence. Meanwhile Adolphus wits
paying daily, sometimes bi- (or oven fri-) di
urnal visits to these unprofitable folks ; and
at every interview becoming more convinced
that his own end in life was not Logic but
Love.
As for the Burrills, they saw in Adolphus a
young man whose age entitled him to Judge
for himself. That less than another year of
tutelage intervened between hint and his en
trance on his property was but a trivial consid
eration to the mind of Mrs. Burin ; and if
any body had asked Lotty whether it would
not be unprincipled to fall . in love with a
young man personally worthy of that distinc
tion prior to obtaining the permission of his
guardian, she would have looked through the
inquirer with those clear-brown eyes of hers,
.
and blown away the conventional fallacy
which constitutes the plot ;of: half the British
'plays and novels with such a healthy laugh as
must have taken the logic even out of Mr.
Buffum. Fortunately, howeve?, Wilt mother
and daughter had acquired such a personal
attachment for Adolphus that any question
whatever relating to his property wits with
them a matter of but small moment and infre
quent thought. Accordingly, when the first
distinct avowal of his love. to totty, made
necessary that he should frankly take them
both Into his confidence with reference to his
father's will and Mr. Buffum'S determination,
the only alloy to the happiness with which
each In her proper way welcomed him into
the family was the true feminine indignation
with which they sympathized against his
gtundian's cruelty and baseness. —'
The morning after Adolphus's fate was de
cided the frigidity which for Me lust few weeks
had characterized breakfasts at Aristotle Cot
tage, was thawed as abruptly as If Vesuvius
had suddenly broken up through the bottom
of the cellar.
Mr. 13uffum sat reading his paper and sip
ping coffee between paragraphs with the most
visible Intention of ignoring Adolphus's exiit
ence. Adolphus deliberately cracked an egg,
salted It, stirred It, and set the glass down—
buttered a slice of bread, sweetened and cream
ed•his coffee, cut himself a piece of steak, and
spread his napkin on his knees. With each
of these acts his manner grew more decided,
and reached Ms, stern culmination In the first
