I think the poor man's happiest hours were spent here; and, now and then in a press of work, or to show how a thing ought to be done, he put his own hand to axe, lever, or hay-fork, and toiled with that cruelly-wasted alert strength. Fulk always says there never was anyone who taught him so much as Joel Lea, and he means deeper things than farming. Sometimes Mr. Lea brought his little boy.

And would you, as a Christian man, I ask, have the agent postpone the baptism of his son even for the sake of all the millet-seed in the world? Leave that to me, and go on!"
