mined to shold his BREATH and werk his
way out of an air-hole. The current be-
ing pretty strong, greatly aided the lad,
and in couple of minutes he popped up
through hole in the ice, and striking
out with his hands he caught the edge Of
the ice, and with difficulty he main
tanned his hold, and was not swept under
the ice again by the streng current.
Working his way around the strip of ice
against which he had lodged, he soon got
a footing on the gravel at the bottom of
the river, and easily made his way to
shore by clambering out upon the ice and
skating to the bank. But his hands
were so benumbed that he was unable 10
loosen his skates, and he stumbled along
on them some distance before he me

about supper time, and after his con-
rades ran away in their fright to get as

river. Before Robinson's friends arrived
at the river he had reached home, and
they got tidings of his safety while they
were engaged in searching for his dead
body with drift-hooks.

THE B4BES IN THE WOOD.
W, Grandma! why don't YOU look Jolly,

THE BAEEs IN THE WOOD.
Now, Grandma! why don't you look jolly,
Instead of that sOrrOwful way?
Don't you know Hal and ] have been married
Just fortnight ago yesterday?
And we're perfectly happy, and will be;
Folks needn't be doleful | know,
Ifthey don't look for troubles, and worries,
And heartaches. My Hal thinks just so.
Now you're singing! I know what you're
saying:
"The Babes in the Wood" But you sec
That Halls twenty lone in November,
And shall soon seventeen be.
And we've seen great deal OF the world, toe
We know how to battle with life;
And Hal says; There can be no sorrow
When q man has true little wife"
You've had lots of trouble and trials,
But maybe we won't. Seems to me
You old folks bring sorrow by looking;
There! you want to say: Wait, and you'll
see!''
But you only look over your glasses,
And clasp hands as though you would pray
And whisper: "God bless you, my children,
And keep you in sunshine Away"
FIVE YEARS AFTER.
Grandma, won't YOU come out and help us?
Pm worn out with watching and work,
For the children are sick, baby tecthing,
And the cook (that old Biddy MacQuirk)
Went away in a huff without warning,
And cannot manage the range;
So Hal takes his meals in the city
You know a man must have change.
All night was up with the children,
For Hal says: It's hard on man
To be wakened all night with the baby"
@ grandma, dear, come if you can,
TEN YEARS AFTER.
Tell me, Grandmother, dear, the old story
OF the heavenly home and its rest,
And hold me close up as you used to-,
And lay my head down on your breast.
Pll try to look yonder to meet them,
My two little saints gone before,
And forget the sharp pain of the arrow
That shattered the ring l once wore.
All! see it all now why you whispered,
"The Babes in the wood" long ago,
When trusted the reed that has broken,
The sand chain, the knot made ofsnow:
And though neither gray hair nor wrinkle
Has come to me, now [ can see
Other babes in the wood, and am silent,
Forebodng, as you looked at me.

CAIRO, Ills, MONDAY EVENING,
April 8, 1878. I
Trade Is moderately active, and our
commission merchants and dealers gen.
orally are doinga satisfactory business.
However, In neatly all branches business
Is confined to the order trade, and sales
on speculation are the exception and
not the rule. This is due In great
measure to. the unsettled condition of If
fairs abroad and the scarcity of money at
home.
In the flour market we note a weaker
feeling. The recent decline In wheat has
had Its effect on the market, and while
prices are not quotably lower buyers are
able to secure concessions. This Is part
icularly true as to choice grades, but in
cludes all grades. The order demand
for low and medium grades Is active,
While choice are quiet. Re
ceipts are fair and stocks good, though
not large. There is fair demand for
choice hay at quotations, and all that az
rives finds ready sale. Low grade hay
Is plenty, dull and prices very weak.
Receipts OF corn are limited and there is
not much on the market. The order
demand is fair and prices steady at quo,
tauons. There is very little speculative
demand. The market indicates q less
active demand for oats, and
prices, though not quotably
lower have weaker tendency.
Receipts are far, though the supply on
the market is not large. There IS an
active order demand for meal, and the
mills are running night and day. Prices
however, are steady at 81 2O92 %, for
city, and 81 05@2 10 TOR country kiln
dried. Bran is in good supply and steady
at Sl3@l3 80. The demand is only fair.
Receipts OF potatoes continue
large, and the stock on the market
is large, and prices low and weak. The
demand is limited and confined to the
local trade. Apples are in light demand
for strictly choice at quotations. Receipts
OF choice butter are very light, and there
is tut light stock in the hands of deal.
ers. The demand is active and prices
sttady ut quotations. Low grade butter
is plenty and dull. Eggs are in light
stock, fair demand at a shade higher
prices. Receipts are meagre. Poultry
is in good demand and light supply at
quotations. Receipts are not large. For
other articles see quotations.
The weather has been blustery all day
and the heavy winds have done some
damage to shade trees and shrubbery,
though otherwise we hear Of ne serious
