One of the most heart-saddening and humiliating scenes I ever witnessed, was the whipping of Old Barney, by Col.

Lloyd himself.

Here were two men, both advanced in years; there were the silvery locks of Col.

L., and there was the bald and toil-worn brow of Old Barney; master and slave; superior and inferior here, but _equals_ at the bar of God; and, in the common course of events, they must both soon meet in another world, in a world where all distinctions, except those based on obedience and disobedience, are blotted out forever.

"Uncover your head!" said the imperious master; he was obeyed.
