Patsey's life, especially after her whipping, was one long dream of liberty. Far away, to her fancy an immeasurable distance, she knew there was a land of freedom. A thousand times she had heard that somewhere in the distant North there were no slave - no masters. In her imagination it was an enchanted region, the Paradise of the earth. To dwell where the black man may work for himself - live in his own cabin - till his own soil, was a blissful dream of Patsey's - a dream, alas! the fulfillment of which she can never realize. The effect of these exhibitions for brutality on the household of the slave-holder, is apparent. Epp's oldest son is an intelligent lad of ten or twelve years of age. It is pitiable, sometimes, to see him chastising, for instance, the venerable Uncle Abram. He will call the old man to account, and in his childish judgment it is necessary, sentence him to a certain number of lashes, which he proceeds to inflict with much gravity and deliberation.
