Keeping Children Healthy in Winter

Said an anxious mother TO a physician, az
dread the winter on account of my children.
kept them in doors all last winter, and our rooms
were warm day and night, but in spite Of our
care they had several attacks Of Group. They
stood on the steps one day TO see company of
soldiers passing, and all took such terrible colds!
If could afford it would spend every winter in
Florida until they are grown up. What shall
do doctor? "Pll tell you madame. Before No
vember comes pull off your children's clothes and
put on flannel under garments. Let drawers
reach below the stockings and have the whole
person well covered. Provide thick shoes
hoods, sacks and mittens, and let them run out
o'noors as much rs they please. Frequent rides
will do them good Sleeping in cold rooms does
not injure those accustomed to it if the bed is
well supplied with blankets and quilts. Let them
retire early. Give them plenty of wholesome
food. Heed this advice, madame, and rest as
surcd that your chi dren will be exempt from
colds the entire winter" ."-Rural Netc Yorker.

Convention, Of which he was member, adopted

RICHMOND, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE l, 1866.

Rev. DR.. Nell, President of the Conyen-
ton, made very affecting parting address,
eloquently alluding to the Importance Of
the measures adopted, and the spirit of
harmony which had characterized all of
our proceedings, and earnestly exhorting
the delegates to carry with them to their
churches the spirit of this meeting, that
with renewed energy and zeal we may
enter afrcsh upon the Masters work.
The Convention then united in singing
eve are homeward bound THE same
HYMN with which the session at Richmond
in 1859 was closed and during the singing
the members mingled freely together,
taking the parting hand and dropping the
parting tear. The venerable DIR. Howell,
of Tennessee, made the closing prayer,
and the President pronounced the bene-
diction, and declared the Convention
adjourned. Thus closed one of the most
important meetings ever held by this large
and influential body.
1t had been feared that causes of bitter
ness and strife would spring up during the
session, but the writer can truly say that
he never attended meeting where there
seemed to be more of a spirit of br0theriy
love and desire to promote the real lnte-
rests of the Redcemcr's Kingdom. Ser
mons were preached during the session by
Revs. A. p. Williams, of Missouri; Fuller,
of MARYLAND ; Mcintosh, of Alabama; Ram
bcaut, of Georgia Williams, of Maryland
J. A. Broadus, of South Carolina; Green,
of Missouri; Tichenor, of Alabama; Howell,
of Tennessee; LOrimer, Of Kentucky ;
Poindextcr, of Virginia Manly, of South
Carolina Burrows, of Virginia; Crawford,
of Kentucky. "Christ and Him cruel
fed /" was the burden Of these diScourses,
and the people were made to feel that they
had heard the Gospel, and not political
harangues. The people Of Russellville en-
tcrtaincd their visitors with princely hos
pitality and it was especially pleasant to
those of us who hailed from old Virginia to
be greeted with brotherly affection by the
large number of native Virginans or their
descendants to be met with on every hand.
| found in visiting several portions of Ken
tucky, and in mingling freely with the
Kentucky delegation, that there is an
intense southern feeling all through the
State, and strong disposition to atone as
far as possible for the humiliating position
which Kentucky occupied during the war.
Returned Confederate soldiers, so far from
being treated as they are in Maryland, Mis-
souri,, or Tennessee, arc the true princes
of the land, and, other things being equal,
can get any Office in the gift of the people.
And as a practical evidence of southern
sympathy, Kentucky has responded, and is
responding, with liberal hand to every cry
of distress that comes to her from the desc
lated homes of the south.
