VIII.
MY young master, being very fond of work himself, did not like to see lazy men around him. Whenever he eanie to the field, he always busied himself about some- A FUGITIVE SLAVE. 47 thing, while the overseer stood with his whip under his arm, and his hands in his pockets, or sat under a shady tree and read the newspapers. I well knew this would not last very long, and had the overseer known his em ployer as well as I did, he would not thus have hazarded his best interest by an indulgence i...n such laziness, as finally dethroned him.
Master Richard, coming into the field one day, found the overseer, as usual, sitting at his ease under a pleasant tree, which at once irritated him. Addressing the over seer, as he was thus enjoying his comfort, he asked, " Why have not the ploughs been used in this field, where they are so much needed, instead of yonder, where they are less needed ?" The overseer made some paltry reply, not so well suit ed to master's dignity, as to the purpose which he had in contemplation, which was to discharge him immediate ly ; a thing which, according to contract, he could not do.
