One of my earliest recollections of my father is seeing him, when I was a child of three or four, striding across the middle side-hill lot with a bag slung across his breast, scattering the seed-grain. How often at early nightfall, while the west was yet glowing, have I seen the grazing cattle silhouetted against the sky.
The women were alone in the house with Tit'Be and the children, the father having gone for seed-grain to Honfleur whence he would only return on the morrow. Telesphore and Alma Rose were asleep, Tit'Be was having a last pipe before the family prayer, when Chien barked several times and got up to sniff at the closed door. Then two light taps were heard.
I should like to think that each one of you carried away one thought at least from this entertainment, a thought which would stay by you, and be, as it were, seed-grain for other thoughts in years to come. First, I will read 'Abou Ben Adhem, by Leigh Hunt, an English poet."
Three several times, under circumstances of great pecuniary urgency, had the beads sufficed, one by one, to restore the family to comfort, to pay the expenses of a journey, to buy seed-grain, and to make out the payment of a yoke of oxen.
