[HSam W. Small, in Allanfa Cott a Miction. ]
Yes, John, 1 was down thar at Memphis
A-workin' around at the boats,
A-hcaviii' o' cotton with omph'sis
An' a-loadin' lier outer the floats.
I was cotnin' away from Ole Texas,
Whar I went, you know, arter the wah?
'Bout it now I'll make no reflexes,
But wait till I git ter long taw.
Well, while I was down tliar the fever,
As yaller an' pizcn as sin,
Broke out; au' cf you'll bcleove her,
Wharcvcr she hit she struck in !
It didn't take long in the hatchin',
It joa' fa'rly bred in tho air,
Till a hosspitel camp warn'I a palcliin',
Au' we'd plenty o' corpses to spare.
I voluutcer'd then with the Howards?
I thought thct my duty was elaar?
An' I didn't look back'ards, but for'urds,
An' went ter my work 'ithout fear.
One day, howsomcver, she got me
As quick as the shot of a gun,
An' they toted nnToW ter allot ? .?
A uunn ten utj muii??? , .. ., ?.
The doctors aui nurses they wrosti'd,
But it didn't do me any good ;
An' the druggcr he pouudid and pestl'd,
But he didu't git up the right food.
"So blankits ner ice in the city !"?
I heard 'em say that from my bed?
An' some cried : "O God ! who'll take pity
Ou the dyin' that soon'11 be dcau ?"
Next day, howsomcvcr, the doctor,
Come in with a smile on his brow;
"Old boy, jes't as yit we hain't knocked her',"
Said he, "but we'll do fcr her now I"
Fer, yer sec, John, them folks ter the Nor'ward
lied hear'd ua aforeSve call'd twice,
An' they'd sent mtt*?full cargo forward
Of them much-needed blaukits and ice 1 1
Well, brother, V-Vfcjrftfr n

Not kcarin' fcr Kongriss ncr law;
But, Jobn, 1 got onder thct kivcr,
That God-blcssed gift o' the Yanks,
An' it sav'd ine frum fordin' "the river."
At^ I'm pray in' 'ciu oceans of thanks 1

THE PBINCE88 ALICE HQ&SOJL
London ..Saturday, September 7.?-All '
England is pverswopt by a great surge of
horror aud pity and grief, caused by the
terrible collision in tho Thames between
the powerful irou scrow steamer the liytcell
Castle aud the largo, but fragile, steamor _
the iVir.crM Alice, in whioh tho UttorJ
was cut in two, and sunk in less than thret '
minutes. Few of all that multitudo escaped,
except such as were able to swin?though
doubtless some strong swimmers were dragged
down by drowning and desperate huuiau
creatures?"as thick iu tho water," one wit-'
uess said, "as a swarm of bees." I am
afraid thoro was the usual amount of selfish,
savage brutality. It was uuconsciously
shown in tho accounts of somo of the $irvivors.
Ono says : "1 canuot swim, buf I
managed to keep my head abovo water iutil
I was enabled^to grasp a rope, by me^is
of supporting myself on the bodies of human
beiugs, still afloat, and by moviug l

the water with his wife and child?ho holding
on to the anchor-chuiu of the lit/well
Castle, lie told his wife^ to sacrifice the
child, which she held in her arms, and cling
to hini, or she would be lost, but she would
not give up the baby, and so they were both
drowned.^Verily she chose the better part. Yet
there were several touching instances
of devotion aud self-sacrifice. A story is told
of one of the lost, a young London manufacturer,
which recalls the heroic death of the
captain of the NorthjkeL He supported
fen the water a young American girl, to
whom he was betrothed,^tiil he was nearly
S^ttiwlied, when a boat seemed coming to
their Rescue. It was passing by, being already
over-filled, but at his oarucst cnft&lily, 1
"one more/' she was taken in. When he
siw her safe out of his failing arms, he .
said : "Good-byo, dearest Mary, [we shall
meet iu Heaven," and weut down without
a struggle. Husbands and wives hav$ been
brought up closely clasped together, resisting
the rude divorce ot grappling hooks;
mothers arc fouud holding two children,
the little ones having still t^Sj^jJ-dolls in
their clenched hands. Yesterday, a family
of four wus raised and brought on ahorc,
