and escaped. He distinctly saw the faces and

covered with fragments of the wreck Immediately
after the accident portion of the stern OF the
ladies' cabin of the steamer IL still out of water.
Numerous small boats were employed picking up
the wounded. AT half past o'clock, r. NJ, an
alarm Of fire was gwen from the Bostona, which
called remen promptly to the spot, but il hap.

The fragments of iron and blocks of wood which
were sent with the rapidly of lightning from the
ili-fited Louisiana, carried death and destruction
in all directions Men were killed at the distance
Of two hundred yards. Legs, arms, and trunks
were scattered over the levee.
We understood that some newsboys, who bst
been selling papers on the Louisiana, and had jus
got on shore, were killed. We saw the dead DO
dies of several lads, but the names as yet are un
known. Those who were near the spet at thu
time of Il explosion state that bodies were blown
a. aish two hundred feet in the air, and fell il
the river. One man, II Is said, was blown through
the plot-ho1se of the Bostona, making a hol'
through the panels which might be mistaken 70

back by the conclusion at least nifty yards into IN
stream. Her captain, although severely wounded
appeared on the hurricane deck, his face covere
with blood, and coolly gave directions for bringin

as long a. Il was needed.

Animportant, useful, handy lille wo,d."
There are many words and phrases in
common use, without some of which it
would seem that certain persons would
find it difficult to carry on their common
everyday conversation. l think, if we
accept the little pronoun ii, and the noun
thing, there is no word used in our be-
loved little State, of more general ap
plcation, than that little, short, handy
proyincialism, truck Hearing it used
several times at dinner table, not long
since, revived in my memory converse
ton which took place on the 10th of Sep
tember, 1880, at a public house between
Newbcrry village and the Queen City,
between the landlord, his family, and
myself; and to give an iGea Of its exten-
siye application, / will, by your perrnis-
sion, relate SO much of it asrelates to this
important word.

GRASSES.

Egyptian or Syrian 1fillet or Guinea
Grass, Sorghum halepense,) known by
various other names, is native of orr
southern states, in many of its varieties,
although it has been imported from
abroad. | have seen it growing in pro-
fusion on Long Island, Charleston, S. c.,
and in Southern Mississippi. 1t grows
like a very slender, miniature constalk,
from four to six feet high, with a strong
stem, and large grassy leaf, and bears
stately seed stalk, tufted with flowerets,
which, however SO far as they have come
within my knowledge, do not bear full
iy-npened seed in this country. That
imported from the Mediterranean grows
with great vigor. Itsroots are tuberous,
large and prolific and equally with the
1ch, succulent leaves and stalks, when
the latter are young, they are at all times
greedily devoured by stock. DR.. Bach
man, of South Carolina, considers it a
stock-sustaining plant, far superior to any
other grown at the south. 1t is difficult
to remove when once embedded in the
soil, and the cotton planters look upon it's
introduction into their cultivated fields
with unmingled apprehension.
Bermudo Grass, (Cynodon dactylon.)
This is considered by Mr.. Spalding, an
experienced planter in Georgia, who ex-
amined them both critically, from speci-
mems which ne raised together, as the
Doub grass of India, so much commen-
ded by sir William Jones, and SO highly
priced by the Bramins. It. by the ae-
rlculturists of the south deemed an invalu
able grass, yielding four or five tons per
acre on good meadow. MIR. Affleck, of
Mississippi states the yield of three cut
tlngs at i've to six tons per acre on COM
mon meadow, that it loses only SO per
cent. of its weight in drying, and is con-
sequently the hardest grass to cut. 1t is
one of the most nutritive g. lsses known,
and is of great value to the river planter.
ltloves a warm and moist, but not wet
soil.
Crab Grass is considered, (uniustly as
think, pest by the cotton planters.
tor equally perhaps with the Bermuda,
it's rich and nutritious grass. 1t comes
up after the crops are laid by, (receivcd
their last plowing and hoeing, and grows
rapidly as the cotton or corn natures and
dries; and by the time they are ready to
remove from the field, has frequently at
tanned so large q growth, as to afford a
crop OF hay. Even considered as fer
tillzer alone, it is valuable assistant to

A TRUTH

e a TRUTH.
Oh. tell me when the joy will come,
That have sought so long,
In lonely walks of forests green,
And in the busy throngl
have looked for it in beauty's smiles,
Ihaye sought it everywhere,
Have tried in vain loves winning s.rain,
But, ON, it was not therei
In Natures gentle loveliness,
bid fields in summer time,
Where flowrets laughed, and happy birds
Poured forth their joyful chime;
And where the little babbling brooks,
Like children freed from care.
Prattle and play the hours away
I've sought the phantom therel
In summer nights, among the stars,
I've bid my fancy rove,
And blessed them as they kissed the wave
With timid looks of love;
And wondered if of all the Hearts
One felt my souls despair,
Whence upward rise SO many eyes,
Like mine, to linger therel
On Friendships truth fondly leaned,
And crushed it---like reed
oh, twas lovely thing in words,
How empty in the deed
And little children, whom loved,
So artless and SO fair,
Let day by day their love decay,
Like yew tree dying there
found gentle dark-eyed girl,
With voice-how low and sweet
Who used to come with kindling glance
My hearts fond words to meet!
Ah, me-my life was then as soft
AS songs on summer air,
But scarce twas bright ere came the night,
And Hope soon perished there
And now am alone-alone
Beneath the bright blue sky
And cheerful voices sounding near,
But none to mask my sigh;
My home hath lost its happiness,
My heart o'erwhelmed with care;-
I'll seek in Heaven the joy that's given
To all who ask it there!
