The st. Louis Republican river reporter

~ 1 III Fs"''''''V VI
writes:
Steamboatmen here are of the opinion
that the European war will have depress-
ing effect upon all river shipments to New
Orleans. 1t is thought that the commerce
of the Mississippi river cities, and especially
New Orleans, will suffer very heavily.
Tonnage rates from New Orleans to Liver
pool has advanced sixty per cent Very few
Americans are owned in the South. and
there are not half enough American bot
toms ahoat to meet the demand. and ship
owners, it is thought, will force freights
from the West to go East by rail. thus ena-
bling owners to dispatch their vessels from
eastern seapOrts.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT
ACKYS SOCK AND JENNIES
STOCKING.
BY HELEN srAxSAnD.


ny HELEN
TWAS Christmas eve-and from a chair
Near which sat mamma softly rocking;
Suspended hung, ill-mated pair,
Dear Jacky's sock-and Jenn1e's stocking.
The wee sma' sock, homemade and gray,
Was suited to the sturdy boot,
Which kept the winters storms at bay,
And safely housed the dimpled foot. l
The lassie's stocking, fine and new
Came DER the waves from sunny France -;
Around the stripes Of varied hue
A prisoned rainbow seemed to dance.
The mother gazes at the twainI
As she still sits there softly rocking
A mist of tears, like summer rain,
Hides Jacky's sock and Jennieas stocking.
"oh, Father dearI" she softly prays,
MY darling children's feet ere guide.
Obi lead them through the pleasant ways,
And keep them eUer near Thy side."
Another prayer, as fervent quite,
Was waited from the little bed,
Where, side by side, that self-same night,
With folded hands and appraised head,
The children asked their Dearest Friend,
(While meath their room mamma was rock
ing,O
''Dear Jesus please Kriss Kringle send.
To fill up both our sock and stocking"
As il in answer to their prayer,
Mamma has ceased her steady rocking.
And lol what curious changes are
In Jacky sOCk0dnO JENNIE 6IOCklnR.
From top to toe they're both swelled out
With queer shaped punches, odd andfunny,
They surely cannot hold the govt
1t must be bon-bons sweet AS honey.
The tiny sock, so short and small,
Is queerly pieced out from the toe,
Below which wing a rubber ball,
And top that's warranted to go.
Above the leg a whip sticks out
A woolly dog looks calmly down,
Conjecturing what it's all about,
And whether he should bark or frown.
From out the stockings top-seel peep
That Joyous beaming little face
Alovely doll whose ringlets sweep
Far downward, with unconscious grace.
She's fenced around with little toys,
That glance out here and there
GAY tokens of the Christmas joys
Which good old Santa Claus doth bear.
The mother sits again to think
Once more the chair Is gently rocking
The dog and dolly seem to wink
Cross Jacky's sock-aud Jennie's stocking.
Bright side.
