AT THE OFFICE OF
TUOA
Thc following lines from the New Orleans
Picayune are pertinent to some impertinent
persons in nearly every community:
Is it anybody's butiticpa
If a gentleman should choose
To wait upon a lady,
If tli Jndy don't refuse?
Or. to speak a little plainer,
v That the meaning all may know:
Is it anybody's businepi
If a ludy has a beau.7
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman does call,
Or when he leaves the lady,
Or if he leaxes at till!
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should be drawn,
To save from further trouble
The outside lookers-on
Id it anybody's business
J3ut the lady 'a if her beau
Rides out with uiher ladies,
And di.eMi't let her Know J
Ie it a ny body's- busiueta
But the gentleman's, if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be?
If a person's on the side-walk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is 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 of our query,
Simply stated, would be this
. Is it anybody's business
What another's business is?
If it is, or if it isn't,
We would really like to know,
For we're certain, if it isn't,
There are some who make it so.
If it is, we'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part
Of the tatiers and del'amers,
Who throng the pwhlic niart;
But if not, we'il act the teacher,
Until each meddler learns
It were better in the future
To mind his own concerns.

where pestilence walketh in darkness, and
crime, wretched poverty and filthy misery
go hand in hand to destruction.

We had reached the top of thc stairs

where sin and misery dwelt, where sick

"Will he come?"
A faint voice came up from a low bed
in the corner, seen by the very dim light
of a miserable lamp.
That voice. We could not be mista
ken. We could not enter. Let us wait a
moment in the open air, for there is a
choking sensation coming over us.
"Come in," said our friend.
"Will he come?"
Two hands were stretched out implor

of his voice was recognized

Qualifications foi tilC Legislature
A 'Texan,' in announcing himself as a
candidate for the Legislature, makes tho
following statement of his principles :
lleform is necessary. I am the man
to effect in fact, the only man that can
and will do it.
I am a Jcfferaonian, Jackson Demo
crat. In truth, I was so born.
I am progressive. I may say, a FAST
oue.
I I go for the greatest good to the grcat
' est number.
I am in favor of giving homes to the
homeless, and houses to the hou-eless.
I advocate the education of the mas.-jC3
by a tax upon wealth.
I believe that earth, air and water, is a
gift of the good God to all. That all are
entitled to as much as is necessary for
their use. More than this is a monopoly,
and I am opposed to all monopolies.
I I am in favor of banks, if a plan can
bo invented to establish one to loan mo
ney to the poor, industrious, honest
I am a 'Young American.' I adopt
their boundary East by th' rising, and
West by th: .letting sun; North by tho
Arctic expedition, and South as far as
t ftti ... . .1
please, ilus a great country, aim
les tl.m this would not suit our pur
poses. I abhor old fogies, whether as
politicians, v. arriors, husbands, or lovers.
I wish this di-inctly understood.
I disavow the cr of 'All things unto
all men,' but adopt ir Jccidediy as regards
the ladies.
I am for women's rLhts on the largest
scale. If we do not yi 'Id them eqaiity,
I fear they will refuse to multiply and re
plenish the earth, as they have threatened
to do. And every unprejudiced mind
must admit that they oecotne our wives
not to please them.-eiVes, but us.
I am too modest to enumerate all my
good qualities and qualifications for office.
I leave all self-praise to my competitors.
I think, however, without vanity, I may
say that, if elected, I will be more disting
uished than any representative you have
had. You will be proud of me. My
name will be familiar to all, and daily
seen in the public prints.
I am an old Texan, one of the founders
of Galveston. I have shed much blood
for the good of the people. I have done
the State some service. I ask, in return,
your votes. I will goo moat of you before
the election, and will address you before
thc public.
I am opposed to the practice of treat
ing, but, when invited, will be happy to
take a glass with any one. In this par
ticular, I make uo distinction of politics.
P. S. I forgot to say that I am in fa
vor of the next war.
Cheap Mode of Filtering Water.
As efficient a filter as possibly can be
constructed, may be made in a few min
utes by any person, and at the cost of a
very few pence. Procure a clean flower
pot of the common kind, close the opening
in the bottom by a piece of sponge, then
place in the inside a layer of stones, pre
viously well cleansed by washing; this
layer may be very small; next procure
some freshly burnt charcoal, which has
not been kept in a damp or foul place, as
it ntpidly absorbs any strong smucIIs, and
