Generosity of Rufus Choate.

heard very pleasant incident. some eve.
nings ago. related by distinguished Senator
in Congress from one Of the Western States,
who was himself the party Immediately bene-
fitted. Anxious when quite young to COM
plete the study of his profession, he visited
Boston, and called upon Mr. Choate and of.
fered himself as one of his students. Struck
by the earnestness and frankness of the ap-
peal, the great lawyer took him into his con-
fidence, and soon realized that he could be
made useful. At the end of two wears the
student informed the preceptor that he in
tended to begin the practice of his profession
in the dourishing State of Wisconsin. The
answer of Mr.. Choate was characteristics He
said, Il honor your determination, but I was
selfish enough to hope that You might re-
main with me; yet, as you have:resolyed up
on this step, you can always rely upon my
friendship then asked if he had any money

to which the young man replied that he had
no means to purchase his law library; where
upon Mr.. Choate said, $50 to Little q Brown
1.-THE old established law publishers select
your books, and refer them to me as YOUR go
eurity." Elated by this renewed mark of his
esteem, he laid in what he conceived 10 be a
good assortment, and took the list back to the
great man, who glancing over 1t, said, 'sYour
list is too SMALL" and, taking up the legal
catalogue, he designated with his own hand
very much increased collection, amounting to
some $4,000 or $4,000, adding, 'sWith these
tools you can begin something like effective
work."
Our young practitioner started for the West
and opened his Office, but, as bad luck would
have it,was stricken down by one of the dan
gerous fevers OF the country. OF course he
could not pay the note when it fell due, but
Mr. Choate kindly and carefully protected his
credit. With unbroken spirit and restored
health he began the practice of the law, and
at the end Of comparatively short time earn
ed enough money to liquidate his obligation !;
