THE SONG OF THE BROOK.
BY BEV. EDWIN H. NEVIS.
A little brook went surging
O’er golden sands along,
And ns I listened to it,
It whispered in its song.
Beneath the steady mountain,
I thought I heard It say,
My crystal waters started
’Upon their winding way.
I fondly hoped that flowers
W oiild bloom upon my side,
And sunshine always cheer me
Wherever I might glide.
Through grassy meadows flowing
And birds on every tree,
I hoped that each hour passing
Would pleasure bring to me.
But hopes once bright have perished,
And rarely have 1 seen
The lovely birds and flowers, ¥
The meadows soft and green.
Through barren heaths and lonely,
My way has often led,
Where golden sunshine never
Has cheered my gloomy bed.
O’er rocks I’ve had to travel,
O’er precipices steep,
I onward have been driven
And madly made to leap.
The winds have sighed around me
The clouds in darkness hung,
And sadness has been mingled
With music I have sung.
But still wherever running.
Mv life has not been vain,
I’ve helped to grow the forests
That wave across the plain.
The forests build the cities
And ships that sail the sea,
And the mighty forests gather
Their nourishment from me.
So onward I onward ever!
With singing I will go,
However dark and dreafy
ThB scenes through which I flow.
A higher law than pleasure
Should guide me in my way,
Thus mid the rocks and forests
(Jomes music every day.
THE MOTHER OF THE WESLEYS
The following letter from Mrs. Wesley to her
son John should be printed in large letters and
hung up in every Christian family, and read daily
until the important principles it contains are
burned deeply into every parent’s heart. The
letter is dated Epsworth, July 24, 1732, and
was written at the earnest solicitation of Rev.
John Wesley.
Deae Son: according to your request I have
collected the principal rules I observed in edu
cating my family. The children were always
put into a regular method of living, in such
things as they were capable of, from their birth.
When turned a year old, they were taught to
i'ear the rod, and to cry softly, by which means
t hey escaped much correction, which they might
otherwise have had, and that most odious noise
of the crying of children, was rarely heard in
Ibe house. AS sotra as they grew pretty
t trong, they were confined to three meals a day.
They were suffered to eat and to drink as much
rs they would, but not to call for anything. If
they wanted aught, they used to whisper to the
maid. As soon as they could handle a knife and
fork, they were sat to our table. They were
never suffered to choose their meat. Eating
and drinking between meals was never al
lowed, unless in cases of sickness, which sel
dom happened j nor were they suffered to go into
the kitchen to ask anything of the servant
when they were at meat. If it was known
they did so, they were certainly beat. At six, as
soon as family prayer was over, they bad their
supper. At seven the maid washed them, and
beginning at the youngest, she undressed and
got thorn all to bed by eight, at which time she
left them in (their several rooms :all awake,
for there was no such thing allowed in our
house as sitting by a child until it fell asleep.
They were so constantly used to eat and drink
what was given them, that when any of them
wore ill, there was no difficulty in making them
take the most unpleasant medicine, for they
durst not refuse it.
In order to form the minds of children, the
first thing to be done is to conquer their will.
To inform the understanding is a work of time,
andmust, with children, proceed by slow degrees,
but the subjecting the will is a thing that must
be done at once, and the sooner the belter; for
by neglecting timely correction, they will con
tract a stubborness and obstinacy which are
hardly ever after conquered. In the esteem of
the world, they pass for kjnd and indulgent,
whom I call cruel parents, who permit their
children to get habits which they know must
he afterwards broken. When the will of a child
is subdued, and it is brought to revere and
stpnd in awe of its parents, then a great many
dii'dishfollies and inadvertencies may he passed
by. But no wilful transgression ought ever to
he forgiven children without chastisement, less
or more. I insist upon conquering the will of
children betimes, became this is the only strong
and rational foundation of religious education,
without which both precept and. example will
be ineffectual. But when this is done, then the
child is capable of being governed by the rea
son and piety of its parents, till its own under
standing comes to maturity, and the principles
of religion have taken root in the mind. I can
not yet dismiss this subject. As self-will is
the root of all sin and misery, so whatever
cherishes this in children, ensures their wretch
edness and irreiigion. Whatever checks and
mortifies it, promotes their future happiness
and piety. This is still more evident, if we
farther consider, that religion is nothing else
than doing the will of God, and not our own;
that the one grand impediment to onr temporal
and eternal happiness being this self-will, no
indulgence of it can be trivial, no denial unpro
fitable. Heaven or hell depends on this alone,
so that the parent who studies to subdue it in
his child, works together with God in the re
newing and saving a soul! The parent who
indulges it does the devil’s work, makes religion,
impracticable, salvation unattainable, and does
all that in him lies to damn his own child, soul
and body forever! Our children were taught
the Lord’s prayer as soon as they could speak,
i’bey were early taught to distinguish the
feabbath from other days. They were taught
to be still during family prayers, and to ask a
blessing immediately after meals, which they
used to do by signs, before they could kneel or
speak They were quickly made to understand
they should have nothing they cried for.
DO NOT BE TOO POSITIVE.
Do not be too sure that you are always right in
your opinions. Remember, if you are right in
one Particular, you may be wrong in others! Do
not boldly contradict, but calmly express your
reasons, and faithfully bear with those
deretiuuUng is less clear, or whose reason may be
disturbed-by passion. Rather than say, “It is ”
”j I Ifoi. did,'. „ d “You didn't,”
say. “ It seems to me,” or “ I think it is.” or “If
1 mistake not.” Avoid all rude and ill-natured
exjnessions, as calling one foolish, obstinate or
stupid. Oar aim should be to ad
vance th e truth not ourselves. It often happens
that, much time is wasted and temper lJst in
manors of no great eooseqeDeo. Let us readily
yiedd to trifles. While in all cases concerning
du'y and happiness we are faithful to right, let
the truth in meekness.—
Comet Dove. , : :
■ SICKNESS NOT CAUSELESS.
There never can be disease without a cause;
and almost always the cause is in the person
who is ill; be has either done something which
he ought not to have done, or be has omitted
something which he should have attended to.
Another important item is, that sickness does
not, as a general thing, come on suddenly; as
seldom does it thus come, as a house becomes
enveloped in flames, on the instant of the fire
first breaking out. There is generally a spark,
a tiny flame, a trifling blaze. It is so with dis
ease and promptitude is always an important ele
ment of safety and deliverance. A little child
wakes up in the night with a disturbing cough,
but which, after a while passes off and the pa
rents feel relieved; the second night the cough
is more decided; the third, it is croup, and in
a few hours more, the darling is dead !
Had that child been kept warm in bed the
whole of, the day after the first coughing was
noticed, had fed lightly, and got abundant, warm
sleep, it would have had no cough the second
night, and the day after would have been well.
An incalculable amount of human suffering,
and many lives would be saved every year, if
two things were done uniformly. First, when
any uncomfortable feeling is noticed, begin at
once, trace the cause of it and avoid that cause
ever after. Second, use means at once to re
move the symptom; and among these, the best
are those which are most universally available
and applicable, are rest, warmth, abstinence, a
clean person, and a pure air. When animals
are ill, they follow nature’s instinct, and lie
down to rest. Many a valuable life has been
lost by the unwise efforts of the patient to
"keep up,” when the most fitting place was a
warm bed and a quiet apartment.*
Some persons attempt to “harden their consti
tutions," by exposing themselves, to the causes
which induced their sufferings, as if.they could
by so doing, get accustomed to the exposure,
snd ever thereafter endure it with impunity.
A good constitution, like a good garment, lasts
the’longer by its being taken caTe of. . .If a
finger has been burned by putting it in the fire
and is cured never so well, it will be burned
again as often as it is put in the fire; such: a re
sult is inevitable. There is no such thing as
hardening one’s self against the causes of disease.
What gives a man cold to-day, will give him
a cold to-morrow, and the next day, and the
next. What lies in the stomach like a heavy
weight to-day, will do the same to-morrow; not
in a less degree, but a greater; and as we get
older, or get more under the influence of disease,
lesser causes have greater ill effects; so that
the’ older we get, the greater need is there for
increased efforts to.avoid hardships and expo
sures, and be more, prompt in rectifying any
“symptoms,” by rest, warmth, and abstinence.
— Hall’s Journal of Health.
NATURE AND ENDS OF THE REBELLION.
Look at the nature of the rebellion. As it is
utterly unjustifiable, so also it is without a sha
dow of provocation. The more closely you
examine into the facts of history, the more will
you be convinced that this vile onslaught upon
the Federal Government is without cause or
reason. No one can be better authority on this
point than the Vice-President of the co-eal!ed
Confederacy, who says, when pointing out the
evils of secession:
“Pause, I entreat you; and consider for a mo
ment what reasons you can give that will even
satisfy yourselves in calmer moments—what
reasons can you give to your fellow-sufferers in
the calamity that it will bring upon us ? What
reasons can you give to the nations of the earth
to justify it ? They will be the calm and deli
berate judges in the ease; and to what cause or
one overt act can you name or point, on which
to rest the plea of justification ? What right
Has the North assailed 1 What interest of the
South has been invaded? What justice has
been denied ?—and what claim founded in jus
tice and right has been withheld ? Can either
of yon to-day name one Governmental act of
wrong, deliberately and purposely done by the
Government of Washington of which the South
has a right to complain ? I challenge the an
swer. * * * When we of the South de
manded the slave trade, or the importation of
Africans for the cultivation of our lands, did
they not yield the right for twenty years ? When
we asked a three-fifths representation in Con
gress for our slaves, was it not granted ? When
we asked and demanded the return of any fugi
tive from justice, or the recovery of those per
sons owing labor or allegiance, was it not in
corporated in the Constitution, and again rati
fied and strengthened in the Fugitive Slave Law
of 1850 ? But do yon reply that in many in
stance? they have violated this compact, and
have not been faithful to their engagements ?
As individuals and local communities, they have
done so —-but not by the sanction of Govern
ment, for that has always beeD true to Southern
interests. * * * Is it for the overthrow of
the American Government, established by our
common ancestry, cemented and built up by
their sweat and blood, and founded on the broad
principles of Right, Justice and Humanity?—
and,' as such, I must declare here, as I have of
ten done before, and which has been repeated
by the greatest and wisest of statesmen and pa
triots in this and other lands, that it is the best
and freest Government-—the most equal in its
rights —the most just in its decisions—the most
lenient in its measuress, and the most inspiring,
in its principles to elevate the race of men, that
the sun of heaven ever shone upon. Now, for
you to attempt to overthrow such a Govern
ment as this, is the height of madness, folly and
wickedness, to which I can neither lend my
sanction nor my vote.”
Look, too, at the end proposed by this rebel
lion. It is nothing less than the destruction of
i ßepublican Liberty and free government on this
vast continent. Making occasion of the legiti
mate election of a chief magistrate whose poli
tical principles and antecedents did not precisely
tally with their own, under the false assumption
of fighting for their rights, their liberties and
their homes, they sought to destroy the last
vestige of liberty, make war oh the rights of
universal human nature, and desolate the homes
of thirty millions of hitherto happy and prospe
rous people. None knew better than they how
sweet the sound of the sacred name of Liberty
to American ears. Hence they rang changes
upon it while they wore secretly using every
means to strangle and assassinate her in her
last asylum.
Whoso has read the utterances of Southern
demagogues for the last ten years, can have no
lingering doubt that their fixed aud settled pur
pose has been to destroy a free Republican Go
vernment by majorities, and establish in its
stead an oligarchy, wherein the controlling
classes of a siave power should, sway the scep
tre over a subjugated and servile people,
Hear a few of the utterances of Southern
Statesmen. Says a Georgia Senator, (R,
Toombs,) on the floors of Congress:
“Drive the Black Republican out of the
lemple of Liberty, or pull down its pillars and'
involve him in a common ruin.”
A South Carolina Representative, Preston S.
Brooks, thus pronounces Ms deliberate judg
ment :
" We have the issue upon us now; and how
are we to meet it ? I tell you, fellow citizens,
from the bottom of my heart, that the only mode
which I think available for meeting it, is just to
tear the Constitution of the United States,
trample it under foot, and form a Southern Con
federacy, every State of which will be a slave
holding State. [Load and prolonged cheers.]
I believe it, as I stand in the face of my Maker;
L believe it on my responsibility to you as your
kpPSfsd; representative, that the only hope, of
the South is.- in the . South, and that the only
availaable means of rhaking>that‘ hope effective
Jlauriati fftfji&gteuM (In a tig rli sit.
is to cut asunder the bonds that tie us together,
and take our separate position in the family of
nations. These are my opinions. They have
always been my opinions. I have been a dis
unionist from the time I could think.
Now, fellow-citizens, I have told you very
frankly and undisguisedly that I believe the
only hope of the South is in dissolving the bonds
which connect us with the Government—in se
parating the living body from the dead carcass.
If I was the commander of an army, I never
would post a sentinel who would not swear that
slavery Is right * * * I speak on my indi
vidual responsibility: —If Fremont be elected
President of the United States, I am for the
people in their majesty rising above'the law and
leaders, taking the power in their own hands,
going by concert or not by concert, and laying
the strong arm of Southern freemen upon the
Treasury and Archives of the Government.”
[Applause.]
Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, in a speech
in relation to the proper cause,for disunion,
says:
“In my judgment, the election of the Presi
dential candidate of the Black Republican party
will furnish that cause. * * * No other
overt act can so imperatively demand resistance
on our part as the simple election' of their can
didate.”
These representative declarations are quite
sufficient to show the animus of this rebellion.
But this is not all. The purpose and chief
end of the rebellion is to establish a Government
that shall extend and perpetuate human slavery.
It is to establish a type of society, having for
its central element the principle that “ all men
are not created equal;’’ that one class .has a
right to property in another, and this without
any necessary reference or regard to color. That
“Slaveryis the natural and normal condition of
the laboring man, whether white or black.”
(Charleston Mercury.) In the columns of per
haps-the most influential newspaper of the
South, (Richmond. Examiner,) the principle is
thus boldly stated:
“Until recently, the defence of slavery has
labored : under great difficulties, because its apo
logists took half-way ground. They confined
the defence of slavery to mere negro slavery—
thereby giving up the slavery principle, admit
ting other forms of slavery to be wrong. The
line of defence, however, is now changed. The
South maintains that slavery is right, natural
and necessary, and does not depend upon diffe
rence of complexion. The laws of the slave
States justify the holding of white men in bond
age.”
In the same journal we have seen,, within a
few weeks, this declaration of principle:
“ The establishment of the Confederacy is a
distinct reaction against the whole course of the
mistaken civilization of the age. And this is
the true reason why we have been left without
the sympathy of the nations until we conquered
that sympathy with the sharp edge of our
sword. For Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, we
have deliberately substituted Slavery, Subordi
nation, and Government. Those social and po
litical problems which rack and torture modern
society, we have undertaken to solve for our
selves, in our own way, and upon our own prin
ciples. That ‘ among equals, equality is right;’
among those who are naturally unequal, equa
lity is chaos; that there are slave races bom to
serve—master races born to govern. Such are
the fundamental principles which we inherit
from the ancient world, which we lift up in the
face of a perverse generation that has forgotten
the wisdom of its fathers—by Whose principles
we live, and in their defense.we have shown our
selves ready to die. Reverently we feel that
our Confederacy is a God-sent missionary to the
nations, with great truths to prgach. We must
speak them boldly—and whoso hath ears to
hear, let him hear.”
I speak of these opinions as showing the na
ture and objects of the rebellion whieh is now
being so mercilessly, waged against our na
tional authority. It is against the progress of
civil and religious liberty—against the progress
of enlightened philanthropy—against: the pro
gress of civilization and intellectual refinement—
against the spirit of the Christian religion, the
advancement of social order and happiness—
against all the springs and incentives to virtue
and sound morality—‘and, finally, against the
universal and dearest interests of mankind. The
oppressed of every land look upon it with shud
dering hoiTor, and the oppressor is gleeful at
the faintest prospect of its success. Can any
victory over such a rebellion be other than a
great vietorv ? Can any truly loyal heart be
other than joyful in every substantial ‘triumph
of the Federal armies over such a rebel host ?
There was a time when the fear of invasion by
,France thrilled the heart of all England. Then
the pulpits of the land sounded the alarm, and
the watchmen in Zion’s towers cried out to the
people to bestir themselves.., ..And when at
length this dreadful'buTdeii of fear was lifted
from the popular heart, the relief was so great
that no words of joy could, express it. The
land was filled with shouts and exultations not
unlike those of the Hebrew Prophetess as she
stood upon the Eastern shores of the Egyptian
sea. • ’
But how much more reason have we to re
joice over every signal defeat of this rebellion,
that never had its equal in violence and wicked
ness since the annals of our race began. Ve
rily the Lord wrought a great, victory on that'
day. Our children and our children’s children
shall declare it.— Rev. G. F. Wiswell.
SCIENTIFIC PARADOXES.
The water which drowns usf—a fluent stream, 1
can be walked upon as ice. The bullet which,
fired from a musket, carries death, will be harm
less if ground to dust before being fired. The
crystallized part of the oil of ,roses —so graceful
in its fragrance—.a solid at ordinary tempera
tures, though readily volatile-r-is a compound
substance, containing'exactly the same elements, •’
and in exactly the same proportions, as the gas
with which we light our streets. The tea
which we daily drink, with benefit and pleasure,
produces palpitations, nervous tremblings, and
even paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to which
tea owes its qualities, may be taken by itself,
(as theine, hot as tea) without any appreciable
effect. The water which will allay our burning
thirst, augments it, when congealed into snow;
so that Capt. Ross declares the natives of the
Arctic regions “prefer enduring the utmost
extremity of thirst, rather than attempt to re
move it by eating Show.” Yet if ..the snow he
melted,, it becomes drinkable water. Neverthe
less, although, if melted before entering the
month it assuages thirst like other water, when'
melted in the month it has the opposite effect.
To render this.paradox more striking, we have
only to remember that ice which melts more
slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in allaying
thirst.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAN AND
A^E.
At a fpcent. ordinary meeting of the Anthro
pological* Society (London, Eng.) a discussion
took place on the above named subject, after
the reading of a paper, “Qn the' Brain of a
Microcephalic Female Idiot.” , Professor Oweri
observed that as the brain of man is more com
plex in its organization than the brain of infe
rior animals, it is more subject to injury, and
more liable to experience the want of perfect
development. Instances of idiocy occur among
all paces of mankind. Extreme smallness of
the skull indicates in all cases want of intellect
approaching to idiocy. Alluding to the at
tempts that have been made to,find a link of
connection between man and apes, he remarked
that it was possible than an idiot with an im
perfectly developed brain might wander into
some cave, and there die, and in two or three
hundred years his bones might be covered with*
mud, or be imbedded hi stalagmite, and when
discovered, such a skujll might be adduced as
affording the looked-fo( link connecting man
with the inferior animals; blit the brain of such
an idiot as the female whose'skull was exhibi
ted is distinctly differs] it from that of the an
thropoid apes; and he expressed 1 an opinion
that the difference is, foo wide to be bridged
over by the skull of any creature yet discovered.
PRESERVING FRUIT.
From the experience of a number of years
in putting up various kinds of fruits, we learn
that the less they are cooked the more nearly the
natural flavor of the frqit is preserved, provided
the heat has been raided to a sufficient degree
as to entirely expel thejair contained in the cells
of the fruit. Beyond this cooking’ is unnecessary.
For heating the fruit we have practised various
methods: at first it wajs scalded in a kettle and
then put into the jars' but of late years, par
ticularly with the different berries, onr prac
tice has been to put tlpm at once into the jars,
and then set them into the water, raising the
heat to the boiling poiit, letting them stand in
the. water until the Contents are thoroughly
heated through—taking the fruit from one of the
jars to fill up the shrinfage, or some is scalded
in a kettle for this puigose—and then sealing
immediately. By putjihg. the fruit into the
jars before they; jtre scjlded, it retains its form
much better. The host convenient vessel
for setting the jars ii to for scalding that we
have tried, is a square tin pan, as large as can
be conveniently heatei over the stove, say to
hold ten or twelve onwquart jars at a time, in
two rows. The depth of the pan should be
nearly equal to the height of the jars. We have
learned one lesson by rather costly experience:
If the jars set close dawn upon the bottom of
the pan they are very jiable to break, owing to
the confined air in thb cavity at the' bottom.
To obviate this a small wire is bent in a zigzag
form, so that some portion of the wire' will
come under the bottom of each ]sx.—Country
Gentleman. I .
How are Double Flowebs Produced ?—ln
answer to this question the Maine Farmer re
plies: ,
We believe thai nature never produces double
flowers. They are con dered among botanists
as beautiful iron; ter They are generally, in
deed we may say a!w«.y». the production of skil?
ful management ff ihe cultivator The Dutch
gardeners have been very Successful in this kind
of production. Ti e pune pie of doing it is to
keep the plant growing rather stintedly on poor
soil till all the organs of flowering are beginning
to show themselves, pushing it by liberal,
watering with liquid manures. This operation
is founded upon the physiological habits of
plants. You have undoubtedly observed that
the first exertion of the plant is to get its
growth, then it stops this part of the opera
tion and makes flowers, then this operation
stops, and the whole energy is bent on matur
ing and perfecting the seed. This seems to be
the great end and object of its life and this done,
it ceases any further action, for the current sea
son at least.
Mental development is the never failing re
ward of intense mental industry. The mind
grows by its own force of action.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.
, jgi _jred digestion from un
healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits,
the depressing vices, and, above all, by the vene
real infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hered
itary in the constitution, descending “ from parents
to children unto the third and fourth generation;’*
indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him wlio says, “ I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their
children.” The diseases it originates take various
names, according to the organs it attacks. In the
Jungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and; finally ?
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which sup
purate andbecome ulcerous sores; in, the stomach
and bowels, derangements which produce indi
gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints ; oh the
skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These,
all having the same origin, require the same rem
edy; viz., purification and invigoration of the
blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous dis
tempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted
blood, you cannot have health ; with that “life of
the flesh” healthy, you cannot have scrofulous
disease.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
w compounded from the most effectual antidotes
thatmedical science has discovered for this afflict
ing distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it
entails/ That it is far superior to any other
remedy yet- devised, Is known by all who have
given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in their effect upon this class of
complaints,Vis indisputably proven by the great
multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures
it has made of the following, diseases: King’s"
Evil, or Glandular Swellings* Tumors, Erup
tions. Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas,
Eose or St Anthony’s Fire, Salt Ehenm, Scald
Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in
the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy,
Ueuralgia, Dyspepsia or indeed, the wlidlesefies
of complaints that'arise from impurity of the blood.
Minute reports of individual cases may be found
in Ayer’s American Almanac, which is furnished
to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein
may be learned the directions for its Use, and Some
of the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those
cases are purposely taken from all sections, of the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one who can speak to him of its bene
fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses
the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results than
are healthy constitutions. Hence ittends to'shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of
human life.*The vast importance of these con
siderations has led us to; spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we
now offer to the public under the name of Aver’s
Sarsaparilla, although it is composed of ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of Som
jmritfa in alterative pcoVer. By its aid you may
protect yourself from the suffering and danger of
these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions
rot and. fester in, the blood, purgp out the
causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow.,
By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus expels the. distempers
which lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many,‘compounds of Sarsapari/la, that promised
much and did nothing ; but they will neither be
deceived not disappointed in this. Its virtues'have
been proven by abundant trial, and there remains
no question of its surpassing excellence for the
,cure of the..afflicting diseases it is: intended, to
reach. Although under the same, name, it is a
very different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and is far more effectual
than any other which ’ has ever been available to
them.

public that its quality,is kept up tb Ole best it ever

has ever done.
