Mr. R;rdseve the old Christian u,n
gathered his family at the altar. ard
with his family he gathered the slaves
of the household-for bondape was
then in vogue in Connecticut-and nm
their knees before God they cried f,r
water, and the family story Is that
there was weeping and great sobbipo
at that altar that the family miplS
not perish for lack of water. and that
the herds and 1iocks might not perish
The family rose from the altar. Mr..
Birdseye, the old man, took his staff
and walked out over the hills, and in
a place where he had been scores Of
times without noticing anything par.
ticular, he saw the ground was yerv
dark, and he TOOK his staff and turned
up the ground, xnd water started; and
he beckoned to his servants. and they
came and brought pals and buckets
until all the family and all the flocks
and the herds were cared for; and then
they made troughs reaching from tha,
place down to the house and barn. and
the water flowed. and it is a living
fountain TODAY.
