Kentucky Slavery.

A Kentucky clergyman writes the following
TO a Western religious paper, as reply to the
charges that the feeling in favor of Slavery was
on the increase among the New School Pres
byterians in Kentucky. He says:
Ont of the twelve hundred members of our
church in Kentucky, there are but seventy-ivs
shareholders. We have two colOred elders ap-
pointed 5y the session TO look after the interests
Of their brethren. All the children of colored
members are baptized by myself, and admitted
10 The Sabbath School under teachers Of their
own color Their spiritual interests are cared
for in pastoral vsltations.
Ii is the custom, besides giving their SER
wants abundant food and clothing, TO give them
portion of their time, or certain quantity of
land, for their own exclusive use and benefit.
Not long since, meeting servant Of one Of our
church members lounging idly about, on the
day given him TO labor for himself, ! >saids
Fleming, fear you are becoming lazy He
replied, % no, Mr.. NJ, | found free Jim's
family starving last fall, and | hires him to
work my land.' On inquiry, found 1t true
as Fleming said. He hired the negro to work
for him.
Three Of our ministers are shareholders, and
of these, two wonid be glad to have all these
run off tomorrow to yonr side Of the Ohio
River; and the other has very seriously en-
barrassed himself to emancipate his slaves.
Besides, there is not a church in the Synod
where the spiritual interest Of the blacks are
not cared for, and in more than two-thirds Of
them, special preaching appointments are made
the year round, for their exclusive benefit.
cannot say that we are inclined to AbOli-.
tionism bnt If one Of my members were 70
separate husband and wife, or parent and child,
for his pecuuiary benefit, We would discipline
him as quickly Is for any other crime. So We
wonld for msltreatment Of slaves.

How to Prevent a Cold.

Immunity from colds, coughs, bronchitis
and influenza, is to be obtained in certain
way, and in only one way. As long as the
heat Of the surface is sufficient to neutralize
the cold of the surrounding embracing atmos-
phere, SO long it is impossible for the person
to have cold. The vigor, resistance, posi-
tive character Of the cutis, must always be
greater than the air in which we move. Air
loaded with vapor is good conductor Of caIo-
ric. Such an atmosphere rapidly robs all
heated bodies of their warmth; and all animal
bodies that are unable to furnish heat as fast
and little faster than the air can conduct it
off, will take cold This loss of heat by the
skin, leaves the blood vessels of the surface
feeble--unable to circulate the blood as a
consequence the blood accumulates in the
warm internal organs, and that internal organ
whose vessels are the weakest will yield to
the sudden fulness, the aflux will increase un-
til active congestion or inflammation ensues.
Moderate clothing, much exposure to the
air; abundance Of exercise, always in good
pure air cold water baths much dry fric-
ton, and calm, tranquil, circumspect mind,
will as certainly prevent colds, coughs, bron-
chitis, &C., in any climate that God ever made,
as warm nights will prevent frosts. The sur
face must be superior to the conducting power
of the air. And this constitutes the immuni-
ty that all require. The reason why so many
In this country dislike the climate, and why
SO many have coughs, is that that class are
not constantly immersed in the free air are
not calm in mind are not fond Of bathing, and
do not enjoy it. The people must have the
air that God has made, they must labor, play
and sleep in it as birds do. They must not
shut it from them, but welcome it, and this
simple habit will compel the surface to elabo-
rate an amount of heat that will always be su.

Infants in Heaven.

Beautiful is an infant, whatever way we
may picture it to ourselves. Beautiful In the
cradle. Beautiful upon the parents knee
Beautiful awake or asleep. Beautiful at play,
in the corner of the room, or under the shade
tree before the door. Beautiful as lamb IN
the Saviour's arms Beautiful at the font of
baptism. Beautiful beneath the coffin! Yes
beautiful even there, in the loveliness of death
with hands folded peacefully-with brow
like moulded wax-eyes closed in sleep, per
chance to dream with lips SO gracefully
composed, as if to say, / murmur not and
with its entire face radiant with smile, which
is the imprint of its dying vision
If infants make up SO prominent and lovely
feature in the homes OF earth, what must
they be in our heavenly home. Certainly we
would overlook one grand part of the heavenly
treasures and attractions, did we not devote a
chapter to Infants in Heaven.
The early church devoted a special day,
once year, the third day after Christmas, to
the affectionate remembrance of those infants
which were slain in Bethlehem and the coast
thereof, by the order of Herod, with the de-
sign Of Staying among them the child Jesus.
This is touchingly appropriate. In answer to
the question. sWho was the first Christian
martyr 2 children are taught to answer, Ste
phen.' Is this right! Were not the first
Christian martyrs the infants Of Bethlehem I
They died for Jesus sake. Afterwards he
died for them. Their blood was the first OBJ
lation to the newborn Saviour. True, the
sacrifice was brought by wicked man, but
this is not the only instance in which an unho-
ly priest made offering in the name, and in be-
half of others why may not Herod bring the
blood of these infants in the name Of all, as
the first fruits of the myriads on myriads of
those who are taken from the earth in infancy,
and received into Heaven
Would it not be well if warmer and more
affectionate remembrance of infants in heaven
were kept up in the church on earth! Would
it not be well, early and often, TO refer little
children to the touching scene Of infant mar

a Good Suggestion.

Our common school houses, which now APP
pear SO uninviting and cheeress, that the
young admirer of Nature is often led to play
tIuant, that he may enjoy the pleasure Of mus
ing among the trees and flowers, and listening
to the mysterious harmonies Of singing winds
and dancing leaves, should be surrounded with
flowers, shade and shrubbery. Let them
stand apart from the dusty road, separated
from it by neat enclosure, and free from all
depreciation Of swine and other intruders.-
Let the maple and elm mingle their graceful
foliage with the locust and willow, to shield
the schoolroom from the scorching rays of
the noontlde sun, and the rose and lilac cast
their rich odors on every passing breeze
Let the walks be adorned with lilies of various
kinds with their iris and tulip and other har-
dy flowers which require but trifing care
Let the jasamine and eglantine twine graceful
ly around the windows, the morning-glorJ and
woodbine look in through the open easement
and the trumpet creeper hang its gay festoons
about the ivied porch Tutored among
things SO fair and beautiful, and surrounded
by their gentle influences, our youth would
acquire habits of neatness and order, and pos
sess purity Of thought and refinement Of
manner seldom found among the children Of
our common schools. Nor would this infu-
ence end with the school day, or lose its force
when the duties and cares of life call them
forth to action, to toll or suffer as their lot
may be. 1t will linger with them, still cheer
them at their labor, brighten every care, and
throw halo of glory around life's darkest
scene.-OhiO CuLiu0tOr.
