The LAWYER and the PloM. boy.

A great many boys mistake their calling,
but all such are not fortunate enough 10 find
it out in as good season as this one did.
II is said that Rufus Choate, the great
lawyer, was once in New Hampshire making
a plea, when a boy, the son of farmer, re-
solved to leave the plough and become q
lawyer like Rufus Choate. lie accordingly
went TO Boston, called on Mr.. Choate, aud
said to him al heard your plea up in town,
and have desire to become lawyer like

Even the beasts Of the field, the birds OF

over all living things. The lion has his lail

their masters crib and their bed of straw
the bird has her warm nest, with her mate
and her little ones ia the branches, and the
tiniest creature of the sea has its house OF
pearl, twisted and curled and carved, and
bright with the colors of the rainbow.
God has given such wisdom to some OF
these little children of the sea aud the land
that they can build houses for themselves
which the best workman in the world coulC
not make. Some time we will tell You abou
some of these wonderful little homes ant
till then your brothers and sisters will show

you how each one builds with the best ma
