ME.sRs. EDITORS II cannot relralh
from calling your kind notice to the
following: Emma Young, scol., about
II years of age, was brought to my
office to-day, May lst, making the
statement that she had lived with a
certain family on West 7th street for
upwards of two years; that she was
taken from her grandfather or uncle,
she having no parents immediate, under
the allurement of becoming mere
child's nurse. She went, but instead
of becoming a glory for the children,
she was organized as the queen OF the
house hold work and drudgery F.; doing
the sweeping, the scrsbbing, the wash
ing and ironing, and a good part OF the
cooking.
She was, it appears, generalislmo,
but received no wages, except or D
cents at time during the excursion
seasons, to buy ice cream, for taking
sole care of the house while the family
were basking in the pleasures OF the
season. She was never cleaned ana
dressed, nor allowed to go anywhere,
nor talk to anyone Of her color, and
slept on the floor. During the past
winter, she went about doing the work
in bare feet, and having a large ulcer
on one foot. She came to-day to ge'
