"ROBERT RAIKES"

We are not going 10 tell you abou, thc
Aonorcd man who was the first founder
Of Sunday schools 10 England, us some
Of our young readers may imagine, but
about faithful old Sunday school horse.
What. q horse going to Sunday school ?
asks sumc isquiriog little reader. No,
he didut cxsc,ly attend Sunday school,
but he was, nevertheless, . faithful Sun
day school horse.
Two or three weeks since We met on
the cars q por,ly, 6uc looking gentleman,
whose pleasant, genial face reflected the
warm. Christianly soul within. A few
moments conversation discovered him to
be Mr.. Stephen ra1son, Missionary Of
the American Sunday School Union, and
from him we obtained brief sketch Of
the faithful animal, Robert Raikes.
For moro than twenty years Mr.. Pax.
son has teen engaged distributing tracts
and organizing Sunday schools, and until
within the past few years he always drove
his favorite horse. This faithful animal
carried his master over sixty.fcur thou
sand miles 10 his good work of organic
ing Sunday schools.
Mr.. Paxson had this faithful horse in
Troy with him, years ago, when the old
Presbyterian church, which is now used
a. q district school house, was new, and
the first Sunday school was organized in
this place. Mr. Francis Parker was made
Superln'en lent, which honorable Office
he held for many years. Some os our
youn, readers will remember with feel
ings Of the highest regard and affection
this good man, who died in our town
about two years ago. lie has gone to
reap the reward Of his faithful service
Mr.. Pa1son also organized schools at
New Hope and Auburn, always accom-
panied by his faithful Robert Raikes.
Robert Raikes became so accustomed
TO his masters stopping by the wayside
10 talk to children, that during the last
years Of his service il was almost impos
sibIe to drive him by group of children.
He would stop until his master would
say something to them and distribute
some papers or Tracts, then he would
willingly jog on.
He had also learned to distinguish q
school house or church from any other
building, aud would, unless checked in
time, always turn aside to visit it. He
lived to good old age, and when he died
was not unmourned, as the following let
ter from a daughter Of Mr.. Paxson will
show.

cial Effects of the Franco-Prussian War;" we
take the following paragraph on the effects of
the war on the manufacture of kid gloves -
As an example of great branches of indus
try which for the time being may be regarded
as wholly destroyed in France, that of the
manufacture of kid gloves may be particularly
referred to. This industry, although having
ITS centre nominally in Paris, is really d]
tributed over the whole of Northern Frans3
and affords occupation to large number'of
people in widely distant localities Thus,
the skins, large number of which are i'm
ported from Italy, Switzerland, and Germany,
are tanned and dressed at Besancon, Beau
vais, Luneville, and a multitude of other
places, and then sent to Paris, where the
gloves, after being cut to pattern, are dstri-
buted throughout the provinces to be sewed
by women, who work at their homes. 1t is
thus obvious that, with all means of inter
communication and transport broken up or
prevented between Paris and the provinces,
this industry must of necessity be brought to
o complete stand-still, even though the ex-
port demand continues undated, and the
price in foreign countries becomes greatly
augmented.
