Is it anybody’s business If a gentleman should choose To wait upon a lady, If the lady don’t refuse? Or, to speak a little plainer, That the meaning all may know, Is it anybody’s business If a lady has a beau? Is it anybody's business When that gentleman does call, Or when he leaves the lady, Or if he lenv « at all? Or is it necessary That the curtains should be drawn, To save from further trouble. The outside lookers-on? Is ii anybody's hnsincss But the lady’s, if her bean Rides out with other ladies, And doesn't let her know? T? it anybody's business But the gentleman’s, if she Should accept anothei escort. Where he’doesn’t chance to be? If a person’s on the side walk, Whether great or whether small, Ts it, anybody's business Where that person means to call? Or if you see a person, As he’s calling anywhere. Is it anybody’s business. What his business may be there? The substance o{ onr query, Simply stated, would be this— Is it ANYBODY'S BITRINF.SS What another's business is? If it is, or if it isn’t. We would r.ea’lv like to know, For we’re certain if it isn't. There are seme who make it so. If it is. we’ll join the rabble. And net the noble part Ot the tattlers and detainers. Who throng the.public mart; But if not, we’ll act tbe teacher. Until each meddler learns It were better in the future. To mind his own concerns! Teach Your Daughters Cookery. A great deal is written about the importance of training our daughters to be experienced cooks, whatever their position in life is likely to be. And that usually means, we should teach them to prepare a great many curious dishes in a most marvelous way, requiring unlimited time and patience, not to mention very gener ous supplies of ingredients. Now, it .may he very valuable, at times, to know all about these curi ously ‘•made dishes,” hut for every day use it would he well for us to tone down our own children's taste. We should strive to give them a taste for simple dishes, prepared to perfec tion rather than for elaborate, highly seasoned ones. Skill in simple cookery is one of the finest and most useful accomplish ments a young lady can have. Let her graduate in the art of bread making, taking in the whole depart nient. Nothing conduces more to the health of a household ttian good bread, and every family likes a variety in this article. She has here a wide range for ingenuity. Simple mashed potatoes, nicely seasoned with cream, salt and pepper, are much better, and more whole some titan raw |K>tatoes pared round and round, like shavings, and boiled in lard until they are brown and crip*. They may not look quite so fanciful, but I think any hungry man gould prefer the mashed pola toes. Let the girls learn to cook well—not drown the peas in too much water nor to take up the greens when they are dark and poisonous looking; nor to set on potatoes when they are watery and half cooked; nor beefsteak, which has soaked half an hour in lukewarm fat. Let them learn to cook all these simple thing* perfectly, and then it will be time enough for fancy dishes. Oh! there is such a werld of com fort around tables whare simple things are done well. The children grow up with wholesome tastes, that nr after years of luxurious tfissipa lions than the children of luxury and will escape many temptations which highly seasoned dishea are apt to lead them into. 1 Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, January 3, 1872. Saved by Alligators. BY ROGF.U BTARBUCK. Wlian I was a youth of seventeen I shipped in a trading vessel called 11»e Northumberland, bound to the coast of Guinea for ivorv and gold dust. It was my first advent as a sailor; so you can imagine the feelings with which, leaning over the rail, I saw mv native land fading a wav in the distance. “Ja<-k Crimp,” said the captain, pointing away up at the maintop-gal. lanffsmast. one morning *. “take your sheath-knife and go up and scrape that mist” The vessel was pitching heavily, and I must acknowledge that mv heart quaked a little as I commenced to mount, the rigging. Finally I gained the topgallant mast, and con triving, with gieat difficult, to sling a string, 1 went at work. Being gre#n at the business, however, I made such slow progress that tlie mate from below, frequently bawled out to me angrily to know if I was not yet through. Suddenly, m mv nervous haste the knife dropped f rom my baud. I heard a howl of rage from below, and looking down, saw tbe mate bolding a band to his face. “I am sorry!” T shouted ; “it was an accident. I hone you are not much hurt !” ‘•Come down here, at once, you young lubber!” bawled the mate, ‘ and you’ll find out.” Down I went, fearing the worst, as the first mate, captain and second officer all stood together, conversing in low voices, their black Jocks now and then turned upon me. On reaching the deck, I prereived that the mate’s face was hut tligliilv gashed, and I womleied ;hut such a great, rough fellow as he should have howled so at a mere scratch I had hut little time to consider. The next moment the enraged offi er sprung upon me with a tope’s end- Now, I had made up mind before shipping that if an officer struck me, 1 would certaialy strike him hack, though I were killed for it the next moment. *No sooner did I feel the sharp sting of the rope across my back, than, turning quickly, I drove my clenched fist straight between the mate’s eyes. I did not feel sorry that I had given that blow, although the three officers pouncing upon me, heat, kick ed and pounded me until I was near ly senseless. . They would have inflicted further injury, hut for the captain’s pretty daughter, Susan—a girl of about fif teen — who, probably drawn on deck by the noise, interposed her form between the officers and mine. ‘‘For shame,” she exclaimed ; then, bursting into tears, “Oh, papa, and you are among those who have acted so brutally.” The skipper really looked ashamed, as lie stammered forth something about a ship's discipline, &e., but the first mate declared that he wasn’t through with me yet. The captain stopped him, saying that he thought l had had enough. Then he bade his daughter go below. Susan, however, still weeping, would not stir until she had helped lift ine up, and bad wiped some of the hood off mv face. I could see thst the poor thing was excessively shocked. I went.forward, to recover in a few days front my injuries, so that I was fit for duly. I often noticed pretty Susan watch ing tne when I hauled upon a rope, as if she wanted to make sure that I was entirely well. j A few weeks papa h-st <o >rln tat d ’ll i ""i "■ -‘i; - s i i. * I>ik She wit- all alft. ship ; the only woman ied her deeply. I ha/ a 1 “uJHj “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE! ” from the first., and 1 now* made up my mind to die in her behalf, if it should he necessary. J lie first officer took command. Words may not, express the extent of liis tyranny, which the gentle in fluence of Susan now had no power to check. As we drew near the coast, howev er, his manner suddenly underwent a change. He treated us to the best in the ship to eat, and stopped swearing at us when bo issued an order. The reason came out.. It was a sngarhiU to win ifStuVr to his jdans. He called us aft one day, and stated that he thought we could he more profitably employed on the const, in : procuring slaves and selling them at j the Indies for a good round suin, than I in spending so many months obtain ing ivory and gold dust. lie wanted | the men to “stand bv him,” and lie | would “stand by them !” There was a cheer from tlie crew —all hands with the exception of myself and tlie steward seemed will ing to side with him.to this new un dertaking. Observing our dissenting look*, the mate at one# ordered us confined in the run. There we were when the heavy rumpling of the cable proclaimed that the ship had come to an anchor. The night was dark. Suddenly we heard a noise above our heads, then the hatch was opened, when, by the light of the cabin lamp, streaming full upon her lovelv features, we rec ognized Siisan Warren. “Hist !” no noise. 1 have come to free von,” sabl the sweet girl. “To morrow they*inltA,.} . tin J*R g you off jnto the interior, and selling you to some of the warlike tribes” “The rascals,” muttered the stew ard. The voting girl <;• rcfullv desern 1 iltg into the run, iiidpi-ked our ban '• cuffs with the keys, which she staled she had found in the mate’s room, that officer having gone ashore. There was a boat drawn up under the stern, and by dropping inter this we might easily got to land, the officer of the watch being fast asleep at his post “And yon, Su«an ?” said I; “do you intend remaining aboard this vessel ?” “No," she firmiv answered ; “it is my intention to go with you, and with you, endeavor to seek some one of the settlements , on the coast, where we can relate all that has transpired, and prevent the mate front carrying out his lawless plans.” We three soon were in the boat; but we bad not paddled far from the ship, when we heard the voice of the officer of the watch, “Boat ahoy !” We made no answer, hut kept steadily on. Suddenly we passed a boat-full of men. “Phew !’’ muttered the- steward • ‘‘why hi aft me. Jack, if it isn't the mate and his men a-oomin hack !” It was plain we were seen, although living on our paddles, we sat a* mo tionless as statues, hoping they would pass us in the dark. “Boat ahoy !” from the mate. “To your paddle !’’ I whispered to the steward, and away h? went. The light of the boat lantern, car ried by the male, now Hashed full upon us. I believe the man suspected what had happened. We saw him hold out a pistol. “I know ye I” lie s.■ i hack or I tiie lie was right, The strokes of oars close behind us with the outline of the pursuing boat, proclaimed tins fact. \\’e were, how oe.Ver, dos >to land, and in a few minutes we reached It. Springing ml, we pushed the boat among some bushes, thickly flinging the shoe, then darted oil'. A mo ment later we heard oar pursuers spring to land —lo-ar I the m ite shouting to Ins m oi to lake the path to the light. This was the pa ll we were pursuing. V e Kept on. mv arm supporting Susan, who, poor girl, was much fatigued. Meanwhile,several shots were fired. .“The mate and tlie two officers with him are armed with guns ” said the young girl. “They went ashore on a hunting expedition.” Finally we darted to one side, and crouched down in the thick brush, hoping that the pursuing party would pass us. \V<; wore partly mistaken.— Some of them did go on, but mtc of them wlio was provided with a lantern, peered into the brush where we were hidden. lie drew back on aiming us ; but the next moment bending over, whispered: “Lie still, I shan’t blow on ye.” Then turning to the others, lie added : “Come on, we shan’t find ’em here!” Soon after we heard their reced ing stops. “That was Tom Foster,” said the Steward; “lie’s a good fellow, though somewhat wild, which last, 2 take it. Was his only reason fv*£> prning them slaves.” We remained where we were a full half h nrf then returning to he sp >t where we had left oer li-it. w nil entered it and w< . - so,,a p.i ld ing along shore. Tit--ie was nothing in the boat to eat except a few sea biscuits and soue* salt meat; but hoped to each t-y daylight a settlement of some kind where we might obtain provision. We passed a sleepless nigh*.— In the morning we saw, far ahead of us, on the coast, a small settle ment. Susan clapped her bands for joy. There were not only houses there, but also vessels, in some of which we hoped we could take passage to the United States. We took to our paddles with re newed vigor, when, suddenly, our boat got fast in n sort of quag mire, from which we vainly en deavored to extricate it. While wn were yet struggling to get it clear, the mate, with his two officers a rifted with guns,made his appearance on a projecting neck of land, right ahead of us. “Stop right where you arc !” shouted the mate, fiercely pointing his gnu at us, “or I’ll send a bullet through one of your brains. I haven’t hunted all night for yon i f->r nothing." ••We will not spiv here.’’ suid I t.» the .steward, “better wade ashore all I plunge ill'n the W tods I'll take the lead with Susan ami yon must follow."

Don’t fire at the gal, but send a bullet through the head of each of those rascals. It’s the easiest way to get rid of ’em, as dead fish can’t spoilt !” (dead men call tell no tales.) Simultaneously the three men Springing each upon a log, took aim, and were about dischar ging their weapons, when what had appeared to be logs suddenly upheaved, sending their burdens over inio the swamp, and snapping them up in their capacious jaws ! In a word, the common mistake of taking alligators for logs has been made by our enemies, each of whom now be tween the bristling teeth of the monsters. Never shall I forget, that Spec tacle. The yells of the doomed men were horrible to hear as they were torn to pieces and swallowed by their scaly captors, a l drew Susan away from the sickening spectacle, and while the alligators were still wallowing in • the swamp, gorging thomselvjjc waiii t'.rir victims, we |,nsto to return to our lioffl.
