Not So Low as That.

A Northern tourist walking down Meeting street accosted an old colored man with an inquiry as to where he could find a nurseryman. “Nussry man,” ejaculated the old darky. “No, sah. You kin get plenty of nussry ’Oman’s here, but we ain’t hab no nussry man’s.” “No, no,” said the N. T. “I want to find a nurseryman; don’t you understand?” “No, sah I I don’t onderstand. Niggers ain’t got down so low as dat yet. ’Oman go out for nuss, not man,” and the indignant old darky left the enlightened Northern tourist with a look of contempt which puzzled and appalled him.— Charleston (fj.
