Girls Were Scarce.

There is a young bride, fresh from the South, who live-; up in Mount Vernon. She was quite ignorant of our Northern social conditions until recently. She is better informed now. It chanced that she needed a servant, and, as she had always been used to colored girls, set out to find one. It also chanced that she met a middleaged colored woman in the street, and, after the custom of the said to her: “Auntie, I want to get a bright you Dg colored girl to work for me. Are there any in your family out of a place, or do you know of any ?” “Auntie” looked at the bride with cold and crushing hauteur, and then replied: “No, I know of no such a girl, madam. lam looking for a white girl myself.” —New York Herald.
