COBIf HUSKING.
Whittier, the poet whose pen has power to wield such an infiaence over the mind, has written a beanlifol P'*°6 °^ *^*'™ husk¬ ing. His New Eaglsud experienca haa led him to describe the pcenes as they exist iu the North, hat mauy of his pencil pictnres will ansfl-er for oar own locality : The ¦ummer gralna wore harve-iled, tbe alnbble fields

A NEGRO-HUNT.
although they knew that they were npon per- iloofl ground, as this remote part ofthe ialand Is a notorious place of refago for the runa- ways (Marron nigger's as they are oaUed hew), they seemed the more disposed to persiBt in the ohase. The dogs advance but slowly over thia rough ground, now and then halting before a oleft over whioh they could not leap, and passing round it by a byway, but StiU never failing to pick up the track on the other side ofthe 'precipice, always sure, alwaya eager, with their noses always olose to the gronnd.
Saddenly they oame to a deep stop, and lifting up their head for the firat time, barked farlonsly.
When the caballeroa reached the spot,th6y stood befora a deep abyss. On the opposite side a lofty rock rose np to a height of more than eight hundred feet. Its reverse side fell off steeply towards the sea, and the break era were to be heard dashing with a sallen roar againat it. The dogs might bark and yelp. They were bnt dogs, and even a jaguar would look twice before he leapt ao terrible a chasm.
It was about nine o'clock, and theacene waa beginning to change rapidly. Tlie blue tinge of that wonderfal sky began gradually to deepen, the stars oame ont one after the other, shiningforth—the southern oross above all—with a splendor never dreamed about in England. Darkness was setting in upou the paradise of Porto lUco.
Any attempt to continue the chase during the nigbt would have been madness. Some of the servants were ordered therefore to light a large fire, whilst others were sent back for the requisite refreshments and ac¬ commodations. A few sentries were set and the caballaros stretched themselves upon the ground
When the mout minute and accurate search was made next moruiug for means of descend' ing the abyss and scale the opposite rock, a cleft was discovered which ofiered, iudeed, some means of descending; and as to the rock, a negro servant pointed out a way by which it was admitted that—however poor the chance migh be—there was at least a possibility of climbing. Both passages, how¬ ever, were unanimously declared to be im¬ practicable f. r any other feet than those of a chamois or a Morron nigger, and the gentle¬ men accordingly consulted over what should next be done.
After some deliberation it was reaolved that, since more runaways were doubtless gathered upon the spot, and it was desirable to put a final stop to this kindofvagebondage, the best plan would be to starve them out.
The necesaary measures were then taken. Sentinels were poated at every spot ofi'tiring the slighest chance of escape. A regular me¬ thod of field-duty was pnt inlo practice. The videttes were relieved at appoiuted intervals, and during the night one conld hear the out¬ posts calling to each other as formally as in military camp.
The caballeros established tbemselTes quite at their ease. Tents were brought down from the plantations, a fiying camp was pitch¬ ed near the place, and the ultimate resnlt of the blockade was awaited. The days or hours of its duration were calculated in advance. But hour after hour, day after day passed, and still the bloodhounds never howled—as they are sure to do the moment they scent death. Each morning they gathered near the cleft by which the track led down to the abyss, and lifting up their noses high into the air, barked on with the same unabated fury. Day after day a thin pillar of smoke was seeu during a few hours whirling from the top of the platform throngh the deep blue sky.
Tha matter became altogether a mystery. A whole week, ten daya, a fortnight weut by, and still the dogs were to be heard barking as usnal, etill that column of smoke was to be seen whirling up to the sky. It was all taken out, and tbe negro-hunt was to begin / very well for the caballeroa to direot their in earnest. I spy-glasses towarda the naked rock; they
I*orto Rico, Emeriil'i of the Antilles, is a fairy isiaud of sweet gardens ami orange groves, rich sugar plautatioug, dark luxuriant woods, anil lofty rocka. Tberein dwell haugh¬ ty dark-eyed Seiioritas, wealthy Caballeroea, and poor negro slave?-
In the uiirthern p.irLofthe islftntl arethe plantations, of Don Gomez de Mier. He was a native of Cuba, who having thera madea large fortnne in the slave trade, aettled down in the mnst beantifal part of Porto Rico only a few ypar.-s as^o. lie bought vast tracts of sugar and tobacco fields, and lived in great magnificence. Tbougb he possesrcd a round sum of at least eight or uine hundred slaves, great was his rage wheu an overspwr report¬ ed to hitu one morning that a tall negro, whom he bad imported from Cuba, had escap¬ ed durint; the iiidit. His ragw was not at atl mitigated when be wjis informed a few min¬ utes afterwards tbat the wife of the rnn away was missing too. Thd uegro was worth mort) than two thonsand piastres, for it would have been difficult to fall in wilh a finer or more powerfnl man, from the shores of the river Senegal down to the coast of South Guinea, and his wife waa young and vigoroua ; there¬ fore Dos Gomez had reason for vexation, and for his determination to give uhase immedia¬ tely.
The neighbors were invited in due form to ahare the sport. Now, as a sport like this is even more exciting than a fox-hunt, the guests were not slow in making their appearance, and after the lapse of a few honrs, a dozen of tbem rode in, richly monnted on their splen¬ did Andalusian coursers. Tbere ia no need for instant hnrry in these caries ; the noses of the blood-hounds are sure not to lose scent ofthe track before the setting in of thenight- dew; the huntsmen sat down, therefore, to breakfiist, and made good cheer in the hospi¬ table villa of their host, whose table was in excellent repute. After breakfast, however, they put on their large sombreros, and, mount¬ ing their thorongh-breds, declared themselves quite ready for the sport.    The dogs were
The runaway slave himself had taken care not to leave anything behind him. A wood¬ en cup, in which he used to receive his ra¬ tions, and from which he ate and drank, was in chargo of the overseer and that was all that could be made serviceable for the occa- Bion. But the wife had hidden some old linens rather carelessly, and these the over¬ seer found. Drink was given to the dogs in the wooden bowl, aud the linen was put to their noses. There were only two of them; but two are enough to settle a negro, even of the size of the escaped Juano. Terrible ani¬ mals they are ; large, strong-built, yellow- haired, double nosed, thorough-bred, of that genuine Spanish race trained np carefully to thepnrpose—blood-hounds. No need what ever for urging them on, they were animated aud impatient enough already; and direotly they had got a scent, with eager yelps they bounded along, with their noses close to the ground, and their tails upright in the air.
They were followed by the brisk glances of the stately caballeroa, who began already to tesiifiy exciteiient, for thia first part ofthe chase is considered hy eome amateurs to be by no meana the least interesting.
The dogs made straight for the negro huts, and the poor blacks, male and female, whom they chanced to meet, took haaty care to get, out of the way. A few minutes afterwarda they were seen darting towards the southern comer of a fence which enclosed the slave cottages; tben they tamed round again, and went back to the hats, their tails fanning the 1 air all the time, and their delicate and dread¬ ful noses almoat rubbing on the ground.
One might read in the eyes of those proud and haugnty caballeros that the decisive moment was nearat hand! A savage yelping of the dogs gave notice that it had arrived indeed. The greedy animals turned again, and making once more the fence with full speed, they broke through it without hesita¬ tion.
"To tbe chase, caballeros I" They gave a hearty cheer, set spurs to their horses, clear¬ ed the fence.    The hunt was np I
Poor Juano I Lost,—and by the fault of his wife, too I
The dogs pursued a straight line in a south¬ erly direction. They did not run fast from the moment they had surely come on the right track, the horsemen being enabled to follow at an eaay caater, but tbey weni along their route wilh a certainty that was appal¬ Ung to behold; never stopping, never offering the slightest sign of hesitation, aud up or dowu dale, over mBadows or over fields^ through groves or through woods, never—- not for one single moment—raising their poses more than half an inch above the level ofthe ground
It was warm work, altogether, the heat of the tropical sun being intense; but, when hour after hour paaaed, and still the dogs went on, neither hurrying nor slackening their-speed, but always in the same steady and determined manner, they seemed to put new life into our hot and jaded caballeros. They would sooner have thonght of parting with their souls than of abandoning the ohase.
Porto Eioo, to the south, is very mountain¬ ous, and the nearer we draw to the sea coast, i the wilder, the more picturesque is the sur¬ rounding country. Rocky vales, with gap¬ ing precipices of an unfathomable depth, steep and lofty crags with enonnous peaks, follow e&ch other in quick succession. Some of the peaks riae more than two thousand feet above the level of the sea, their inacoes- sibla tops visited only by the eagles, which fly round them in majeatio circles. The stony grotind is torn by clefts and chasms; large pieces of rooks, of a monstrous size, are Boattered ahont wildly.
The cavalcade had long since alighted, and the caballeros, leaving their horses in charge of some of the servants, were foUowing the dogs a-foot.   The march become more and
could see nothing, understand nothing.
" Medre de Dies I What on earth can those black rascals be feeding upon np there!"
At leaat one of the negro servants offered himaelf as a spy, advising hia masters, for appearance sake, to raise the aiege till he oame back.
The offer was accepted; the siege broken up. Only a few sentinels were left behind, carefully hidden lest the spy should prove to be a donble traitor. The fellow, however, knew hut too well that little was to be got from the Marions, and much from Don Gomez de Mier.
When, after the lapse of five days he oame back, safe and aound, from hia periiona expe¬ dition, he had a strange atory to tell. He had descended the abyss, and cUuibed the rock at the riak of his neck. When he had reaohed the top, and-joined the fugitive, reporting himaelf a runaway from his master, who, he said, had given up the blockade altogether, they received him without suspicion. There were eight of them, the woman included, all well and in the best condition, making good cheer indeed. They h-td venison, mutton, fowl—anything bnt bread and cheese—for dinner. They stewed and they roasted.— Some of them climbed now and then down the sea-face of the rock to gather as mnch wood and seaweed as they could get for their fuel; as to the water, they had a fresh spring near at hand.
But the game? How did they get that?— This was the very mystery nhich the spy had to spend four days in finding ont.
Night after nigbt he saw Juano, leaving the others, make for the sea side platform, armed with
which are said to be but cowardly beasts after all, who frequently take to their heels when oharged by men.
WlienOTer a jaguar haa heen seen or heard in the heiehborhood of an Indiau village, the whole tribe—men, women, and children ^will rather decamp at onoe than run the risk of being exposed to a night attaok from this terrible animal. Only one class of men there is that aeek the jaguar, and make It a partioular business to fall in with as many of these beasts aa they can trace out.
Tha Mexican government pays a preminm of thirty to forty dollars for each head of a jaguar, presented to a magistrate Inany part of its vast territories, and as the delicate fur of this dangerous game is worth another sum almost as great, it has become a trade to hunt them. I have kuown one of theae tiger traders, and although he was no talker, there used to ooze from him strange recollections ofhis perils.
As aoon as the mate had arrived, the seige was re-opened, thecamp pitched again, senti¬ nels posted, and strict vigilance enforced.
It turned ont to be no eaay work, even for this intrepid and daring hunter, who had climbed mauy a crag in the Rocky Mountains andthe Sierra Nevada,, to get down that abyss and to find an accessible apot on the rook opposite from whioh he might get a ahot at the eaglea. He thonght it beat to make sure ofhis ball, and not to alarm the negroes by waste firing that wonld indicate to them the station he had chosen and cause them to hurl stonea down upon him.
He had risked his life, however, many a time for less than the good sum Don Gomez was sure to pay, as amateur, for those two splendid birds of prey, and he went to work with a will.
After a conple of hours he was seen at a hight of six hundred feet, suspended over the dark precipice beneath him, and sheltered by a prominence over his head against any stones or blocks which might be hurled upou him. On the platform nothing unusual could be discovered. The Marrons, hidden behind the stony ramparts which enclosed their place of refage, remained seonre.
Several hours went by, and it was late in the afiernoon, when at last the report of the mate's rifle was heard for the first time.— Many a spy-glass was directed at ohoq to the spot where the audacious shooter was sta¬ tioned, but as nothing particular could be remarked, except,'perhaps, the coolness with which he was reloading hia rifle, most of the caballeros retumed to their tents. Thoser however, who atil watched the daring man, had their reward, when, about half-an-hour afterwards, the steep rocks around re-echoed once more the report of hia gun.
A blackish object of the size of a pigeon was seen darting up in the air with the swift¬ ness of a cannon-ball, then it stopped short on a andden, remaining suspended immov¬ able for some moments at an enormous height, then it began to lower in a spiral line, slowly at flrst, then quicker and quicker, till at last it dissapeared rapidly behind the huge maas of rock.
It was the second eagle. The first had been shot already from the top of the peak, and, being killed on the spot, had fallen down at onee into the sea.
The mate had done hia work. Hla retreat was accomplished with some difficulty, as many a block, the hundredth part of which would have been more than sufficient to crnsh him to atoms, rolled cloae by his head. He managed, however, to escape them all, and when on the morning of the next day he stood before Don Gomez, announcing to him his complete success, tbe mau was as sound and cool as ever.
On the two following daya the dogs were heard barking in their usual manner, andthe pillar of smoke was still to be seen whirling from the top of the platform npwards to the sky. On the morning of the third day, however, the dogs were ailent and even with the aid of the most powerfnl spy-glasses, it waa impossible to descry the slightest sign of smoke upon the platfom.
On the evening of that same day, shortly after the setting in of the near-tide, the blood-hounds were heard all at onoe barking most furiously. Almost, at the same time the sentinel nearest to the shore gave the alarm.
When the whole party came up in a hurry to ascertain what was the matter, they were not a little surprised at the unexpected turn which the affair seemed to take.
The Marrons were in the sea I They strug¬ gled against the fury of the mighty breakers- they were striving with all their energy to gain a rocky bay not very far from their abandoned place of shelter.
" Carramba 1 Those fools must be mad j exclaimed the mate.
A shriek wcs heard, sudden and horrible ; another yet more frightful pierced the thun¬ der of the breakers ; the sea-water became purple.
Theae unhappy wretches had made their choice between the Spaniards and the ground sharks.

Speak gently to each other.
" Pleaae to help me a mlnnte, sister."
" O don't disturb, me I'm reading," was the answer. .
"Bnt just hold thia stick.won't you, while I drive this pin throagh ?"
" I oan't now, I want to finish this story," said I emphatically ; and my little brother tamed away with a disappointed look, in search of somebody else to assist him.
He waa a bright boy of ten years, and my only brother. He had been visiting a young friend, and had seeu a windmill, and as aoon as he came home his energies were all em¬ ployed in making a small one ? for he was always trying to niake tops, wheel-barrows, kites and all aorta of things, snoh as boys delight in. He had worked patiently all the morning with aaw and jacknife, and now it only needed patting together to complete it —and his only sister had refused to assist him, and he had gone away with his young heart saddened.
I thought of all thia in the fifteen minates after he left me, and my book gave me no pleasure. It waa not intentional nnkindness, only thoughtlesanesa, for I loved my brother and was generally kind to him; still, I had refuaed to help him. I would have gone after him andafforded the assistance henHeded,but I knew he had found some one else. But I bad neglected an Opportunity of gladdening a childish heart.
In faalf an hoar he ca'me hounding into the house, exclaiming, " Come, Mary, I've got it up; just see how it goes!" His tones were joyous, and I saw that he had forgotten my petulance, so I determined to atone by unuaual kindness. I went with him, aud sure enoagh on the roof of the woodhoase was fastened a minature windmill, aud the arms wore whirling aroand faat enoagh to suit any boy. I praised the windmill and my little brother's ingenuity, and he seemed happy and entirely forgetful of my nn¬ kindness, and I resolved, as I had many times before, to ba always loving and gentle.
A few days passed by, the shadow of a great sorrow darkened our dwelling. The joyous laugh and noisy glee werh hushed, and our merry boy lay ia a darkened room with anxioas faces around him, his cheeks flushed and hiseyes unnaturally bright. Sometimes his temples would moisten and his muscles relax, and theu hope would come into our hearts, and our eyes would fill with thankful tears. It was iu one of those deceitful calms in his di.^easa that he heard the noise of his little wheel, and said," I hear my wind-mill t"
"Does it make your head ache?" I asked, "Shall we take it down ?"
" Oh no," replied he, "it seems aa if I were out of doors, and it makes me fell better."
He mused & momeut and then added : " Don't you remember, Mary, that I wanted you to help me to fix it,and yon werereading and told me you could not? But it did'nt make any difference, for mamma helped me."
0, how sadly those words fell upon my ear, and what bitter memories they awakened! How I reptiuted, as I kissed little Frank's forehead, that I had ever spoken unkindly to him. Hours of sorrow weut by, and we watch¬ ed his couch, hope growing fainter, aud fain¬ ter, andj anguish deeper, until, oue week from the morning on wbich he spoke ofhis childish sports, we closed the eyes once so sparkling, and folded hia hands over his pulseless heart. He sleeps now in the grave, and home is desolate bnt the little windmill, the work of his busy hands, is stilt swinging in the breeze, just wbere he placed it, upon the roof of the old woodshed; and every time I see tbe liny arms revolving I remem¬ ber also the thoughtless, the unkind words I

On the morning of the fourth day at last the spy had a chaace of loitering, as if by accident, near the opposite side of the plat¬ form, and was startled by the sudden flight of a great eagle that circled rapidly above the top of a peak some thirtyor forty feet higher than the common level of the platform. A suspicion then occurred to him, which he was able promptly to confirm; for on the aame night he succeeded in tracing Jaano to the peak, where, from hia own hiding-place be¬ hind a block, he could hear the cries of the frightened and angry birds, the vigoroua blows with which the negro defended himself againat their mighty wings, their dangerous heaks, their powerful talons. The mystery was revealed. The Marrons were feeding on the eagle's prey.
Thoae poor birds had to work hard. There waa their own family to be supported, and there were moreover eight idle stomachs to be aupplied with the neceasitiea of life, and as the negro took care never to leave more than was strictly required to keep any of the brood from perishing of hunger, the foraging went on with activity.
When this incident waa made known to the Spaniards, Don Gomez wrote a polite let-
replied the urchin.
" I borrowed no saucer." " Snre you did, air—you borrowed our saw sir."
" Be off.   I never saw your saucer."
" But you did,  air—there's  the   saw,  air,
now sir."
"O,   you mean   the "saw!"   Why  the
thunder didn't you say so at first ?"
 " Judge, do you aay if I punch a   man
in fan, he Can take me up for assault aud
battery ?"
" Yea sir, I say that, and what I say I re¬ peat.    If you punch a man yoa are guilty of
a breach of the peaoe and oan be arrested for
it.
"Ain*t there no exceptions?"
"No sir, no exceptions, whatever."
" Now, Judge, I guess you are mistaken—
suppose, for instance, I should brandy punch
him, what then f"
No levity in court, sir.   Sheriff,   expose
this man to the atmosphere.   Call the next
oase."
The Reason Wht.—A small lad asked per¬ mission of his mother to go to a ball. She told him it was a bad place for little boys.— " Why, mother, didn't you and father use to go to balls when you was young?" " Yes, bat we have aeen the folly of it," answered the mother. " Well, mother," exclaimed the son; "I want to aee the folly of it too."
An UNptEASAUT Bedfellow ^A boy once'
ter to an old acquaintauo, captain of La Hija j complained of hia brother for taking half the Hermoaa, a Spanish clipper-ship noted for | bed.   " And why not f"   said hia mother,
The house mother also has her troublea ; ay, be ahe ever so gifted with that blessed quality of taking them lightly and cheerfully; weighing them at their just value and no more! never tormenting herself and every¬ body else by that peculiarity of selfish and narrow minds, which makes tbe breaking of a plate as terrible as the craah of an empire. No one can hold the reins of family govern¬ ment for ever ao brief a time witbout feeling what a dlfflcnlt position it is ; how great ia daily need of self-control, as the very first means of controHng others ; of incessant in¬ dividual activity, and apersonal carrying out of all regnlations for the ordering of tbe establishment—which, unless faithfully ob¬ served by the mistress, the eye aud heart of the honse, are no more thau a dead letter to the rest of the establishment. No doubt this entails considerable self-sacrifice. It is not pleasant for lazy ladiea to get breakfast over at that regular early hour wbioh alone seta a household fairly a going for the day ; nor for unarithmetical ladies, who have al¬ ways reckoned their accounts by aix-pencea, to put down each item, and persevere in balancing periodically receipts aud expendi¬ ture ; nor for weekly, nervous, self-engrossed ladies to rouae themselves sufficiently to pnt their house in order, and keep it so, not by occasional spasmodic " setting to rights," but by a general methodical overlooking of all that is going on therein.
Yet, unless all this is done, it is in vain to insist on early rising, or grumble about waste, or lecture npon neatness, cleanliness and order. The servants get to learn that "missis is never in time I" and laugh at her com¬ plaints of their unpunctuality. They see no use in good management or avoidance of waste- "Missis never knowa about any thing." She may lecture until she is weary about neatness and cleanliness—"Juat put yonr head iuto her room and see 1" For all moral qualities, good temper, truth, kindli¬ ness, and above all, conscientiousness, if these are deaoient in a mistresa, it is idle to expeot them in servants, or children, or any
member of the family circle.
Teacher's Difficulties.
The opiniou that the profession of teaching is one in which no one would wish to engage save those who are determined to "take the world easy," faas foand credence in the minds of many of tbe present day.
Though tbe labors of the teacher have been greatly facilitated within tbe last few years yet there is a great amouut still incumbent apon him in the proper discharge of his duty; and, how much greater is that amonut when be lacks the co-operation ofhis patrons. They have the power, and theirs is tbe duty to render him much assistance in his toils.
There are many ways in whfch his labors might be lightened. First, I wonld urge a regular attendance on the part of the pnpils, though this is not generally supposed to inter fere with the working of & school, but how great the mistake. The prcof of this can be inferred from a supposition. Suppose a class of six or eight in Geography, Arithmetic, &c., and the time of recitation has arrived ; per¬ haps three or four of these were not present the previous recitation, and as a consequence " did not know where the lessou was;" where is the teacher who has not heard this excuse again and again f Nor is thia the worat of it; for, if a pupil is aware that be is to be absent from achool, he would, most likely, make no pretensions towards studying the lessoniof that day, consequently there are two days lost for every oue the pupil is absent: bfitides what trouble is thus heaped upon tlie teacher.
Auother fruitful source of trouble to the teacher, is the want of proper books, or a uniformity of text books.
ThiS is, perhaps, the greateatdifficulty with which a teacher has to contend. I do not wish the inference drawu that the pnpils should be entirely confined to books : fai* from it.— There is much, very much useful knowledge not fouud betweeu the lida of onr text books, and knowledge of that nature peculiarly adapted to the children of our public acbools. The preparatory ateps to a thorough, aound education seem to have beeu entirely lost sight of by our most diatingaished authors, until quite recently, the author of a work ou Grammar, (Mr. Greene,) has taken up the aubject and as a result haa given models, which must necessarily " unlock the various complex combinations" of ideas connected with a commencement of that atudy, by the children of our public schoola : by eatablish- Ing a principle of analysts aud indnction, he haa rendered the stndy interesting to pupils, and easily and readily imparted by tutors.

Those contribating Mathematical qaestioDS or Solations, will please bear in mind to con¬ fine Ihemselvea to tbe nse of Arithmetical figures, as we have no no Algebraic or Geom¬ etrical figures in the office. If tbis part of onr educational colnmn should receive ita due share of attention from our couutry read- era, we hope to be able in thof conrse of the year to snpply this deficiency.'
We take pleasare in copying the following from the " Mathemalical Monthly," and pre¬ sent it to our thinking teachers:
Hnle for finding the greatest Conimon Divisor.
When tho greatest common meaaure of more than two qnantities is required, a rule like the following ia usually given: —
*'First, find tbe greatest common measare of any two of the numbers, then find the greatest commou measare of the nnmber found and another of tha given nambers, and thns procttsd till all the given numbers are brought in."
There is usually one or more of the given numbers that can be readily resolved by in¬ spection into submuUiples, and the divisor sought can thus be fonnd very readily. Bat if the prime factors of the numbers are all large, the following rule is more expedltioas than any otber one that I have erer seen.
1. Divide all the given numbers by the least of them, aad bring down the remainders.
2. Divide the firat divisor and all of the firat remainders by the least of them, and bring down the remainders.
3. Proceed in thia manner until a remain¬ der is fonnd that will meaanre all the other remaiuders, and the divisor last nsed,—and this will be the greatest common divisor.
Every abbreviation that can be uped at any step of the process, euch as rejecting factors that are evidently not common, &c., shoald of coarse be employed.
EXAMPLES.
1. Find the greateat common measure of 940, 747, 529, and 551. By inspection we re¬ solve 940 into the faolora 2=. 5. 47; 2^.5. being evidently not oommon, are rejected, and we ascertain by a single trial ia not a common factor.   The anawer ia therefore 1.
2. Reqnired the greatest common divisor of 1633, 37C3, 4757, and 4189. Proceed, ac¬ cording to our rule, aa follows: —
