MISCELLANEOUS. The Old lano Over Again. Dearly ft the American people loved Peace, many of them fenred that tbo War would end too toon. There were periods in the Hebellion when Peaco woald have been a greater curse than a score of buttles fought u Northern soil, and tho capture of a dozen Northern cities. Better that the Hebel fW.had floated in 186U over the ld State House in Philadelphia, wherein the Srst Congress declared American Independ ence, than that the armistice had been grant ed which (he Democratic party urged ana the Kebel Government desired. Better, Jar better, that tho war were rainncr now, with Grunt still before Richmond, and Sherman at Atlanta, than that the people of the North hud indorsed the declaration of the Democratic pRrty in 1804, that the war was a failure, and compromise with traitors a necessity. Peace hath her blessings, and ar, even in tho noblest cause, cannot be other than a giant evil; but I'ulBe Peace comes soinetiuies to a nation, crowned with thorns and robed in slmme, ottering short respite as tlie price of long misery, and per petuating the strife which she pretends to end. Bloodshed is not the worst of evils. It is better t hut men should die than that principles should be destroyed. For Buch reasons many of ns feared that peace would come too soon. After liull Run the whole North repudiated the idea with indignation; tht Union could not treat with victorious Rebellion. As the war grew older men trusted that victory would not come till Slavery had been abolished. Long before May, 18G5, the loyal men ot the United States were resolved that tho Rebellion should be utterly crushed, and that the ele ments of treason should be extirpated. When Lee surrendered to Grant we thought thut the Rebellion was ended. Is it ended f No. From all parts of the South and from manv men in the North comes the assurance that the War for the Union ended too soon. Their voices tell us thut McClellun's weary and costly delays were not blunders ; that Grant made an error when he closed up the war in the West, und forced the fighting in Virginia; that Sheruiau should have waited ut Atlan ta, and delayed for unother year his trium phnut march to the sea. Those mngnilicetit combinations, by which the superior strength of the Uniou wus brought to bear upon every point of resistance simultaneously, were tiital mistakes. We are taught every day thut the war should have been iudelinite ly prolonged ; that the Rebellion should have been crushed iuch by inch, till its leaders had died in battle or lied from the country; till its armies hud dwiudlcd tuto bands ot robbers; till it hud beec driven iuto the woods uud swamps, to starve and pcrUh where the negro had starved and per ianal in the days when ltelielUon was only an uplifted menucein thut iusulting hand which Slavery shook in tlio luce ot tlie Re public. Victory was as" premature, we ure attired, iu 1805 at it would have beeu in 1862. Nothing was decided by the war, if we may trust the dcliaaco now huiled ut us by the South. It has gone back to 1800, and proposes to begin over again. Rut there is a difference. In 1800 tho country was warned that Rebellion would follow the election of a Republican Presi dent. In 1808 Rebellion is promised in cuse of a Republican defeat. The election of Seymour and Itlnir is to bo the signal of au other war. Tho Rehels of the South have inadu it unmistakably vicar that they intend that a Democratic victory shall pay them for what they lost at Vicksburg, and Gettys burg, and Richmoiid. The Lost Cause of the South is louud again, ami lives iu the Democratic party. Tlie Rebellion declares that Grunt did not subdue it, and that it is ready to fight aguin. Let us hear it speak. Frank Blair promises Revolution if ho is elected. Robert Toombs declares that "tho "Reconstruction acti are null and void, and "shull not stand. Tho grinning skeletons ''that have been set up in our midst as legis lators shall be ousted by Frank Blair, "whom our party has expressly appointed "for that purpose." Said Uowell Cobb : "In war we drew the sword, and bade them "defiance; in peace we gather up the man- "hood of the South, and raising the banner "of Constitutional equality, and gathering "around it tie good men of the North, as "well as the South, we hurl into their teeth "the same defiance, and bid them come on "to the struggle. Wo are ready for it, if "you are." Albert Pike Calls upou the young men of the South to swear thut the Susquehanna and Ohio shall be like rivers of lire, which no Northern lluo shall at tempt to cross and live. "Secession is not "dead," says Gov. Wise; "it is more alive 1 "to day than ever. I support Blair because "he promises Revolution." J. M. Ramsey of Georgia declares thut the true men of the South uro ready to rally once more uuder the Rebel flag "and try the issue at the car-"triilge-box,".and promises that there are men in the North who will lead their bat talions. "If. we are successful in the ap proaching contest," says The MuhiU 2'rUntne, "we suall gain all tnat we lost in tue 'Liosc Cause.' " "The country is by far too large "to remain very long under one Govern "ment," says The Mcmj'hh Appeal, and the "day will come when the South will be in "di pendent." "By the election of Seymour "and Blair," says Gov. Vance of North Caro lina, "all that tho Confederacy fought for "will bo won." lite Mobile TrAune declare! that "tbe great Democratic party will rise "in Us might, and the dagger of Brutus "may aid in accomplishing our redemption "from Radical rule, ruin, and usurpation." "There aie maoy Democrat" at the North who believe," asserts The Mobile lletjiaier, "tha the counterrevolution will not be "complete without more blood letting; and The Uichmond Inquirer adds, "The white "men of the Southern States have seen the "day when tbey could use the bullet, and, ii uou in ui anger permit tha necessity to "arise, they will uso it agaiu." With the kuii auu cross-Dones ot tbe 'Lost Cause' be- "lore us," cries The Meridian (Miss.) Mercury, "we will swear that this is a Whit Man' ' Government. W must rusk the negro "understand we are the men w were when "we held him in abject bondage." "Gen. "Bluir at the head of the militia will be a "match for Gen. Grant at the head of the "regular army," boasts Gen. Kwing. The Georgia Democratic Convention declared; "There might once have beeu necessity "tor the Rebels of Georgia to submit to the "military authorities, but there is none now. "The Democratic chivalry of the Nona are "marching to our rescue." TU1 is enough. We might fill columns witii such shrieks and jells of Rebellion, the echoes of 1801, but every day swell th evidence that th Southern leader repudiate the surrender of Lee, and repaj with plans pf new war tht generosity which saved them from the gallows. Whether it be right or wronjr, that treason deserves death, it is certain that the people of the North did not permit that question to ho raised ; In their magnanimity they put it aside, and required of traitors no indemnity for the past, im posed nn punishment for their crimes, but demanded only (.ecurity for the future. It was Peace for which we longed, and are we now to learn that we were wrong in seeking I to establish Peace in the spirit of mercy rather than in that which demands an ey for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth ! We must believe so, if we can believe Frank Blair, Wado Hampton. Howell Cobb, the leaders of the Democratic party North and South, and the unanimous voice of the Re bel press. In 1800 an 1 18B1 these identical threats were made by the same men, but the patriotic masses could not credit their sincerity, till the attack upon Sumter proved that the South was in deadly earnest. It is the duty of the American people to profit by that terrible experience. We are warned by the Democratic party itself that its tri umph means War; that it intends that Blair and Seymour shall establish the principles of the Confederacy. That warning it would be criminal folly to despise. It is Grant who represents in this contest the gront cause which he represented in the war. and only by his election can Peace and Order bo pre served and permanently established. N. Y. Tribune. A Sermon on I'cnces. BY BERCHEU. Wo have received from "Down East" a note from which wo make an extract. Tho writer says that there is but little "preach ing" in his neighborhood, and that what there is relates rather to the metaphysical quality of sin than to the actual forms which it usually takes. He therefore sends for a little bit of preaching, tho following : "My neighbor will not make his part of his fence sufficiently strong, and his stock will therefore break over and damage my crops. He heedlessly sets fire so that the fire nprcads and burns up my part of the fence, lie does not build the fence so de stroyed, as he is in duty bouud to do ; yet lets his stock run in the opposito field, and they are every now and then trespassing on my fields. Now the laws provide for a re medy by compelling him, if I bring suit, to muko a legal fence, and re-build the part he so carvlcsMy burnt. Now if I compel him by 6uit at law to do his duty, I make an enemy. My property is not safe, and in tlie end I would probably be the sufferer. I consider a dollar's worth of peace and good feeling with my neighbors worth n dollar, und a dollar's worth of justice obtained by compulsion by anil through tho law, is gen erally dearly obtained, costing two and of ten ten to get one, beside bad feelings, lasting sometimes through life. Is it my duty to tiring suit for righ when it will perh.ips beget malicious retaliation f What course docs tho Scripture indicate J" Oh, sir, you could not have touched a took: that would thrill more hearts than this afjenn'4 How simple the topic seems ! How little would an innocent stranger, riding through a rural district, imagine that fences are instruments of injustice, engines of oppression, causes of quarrel I Fences not only separate estates, out divide families ; they keep out cuttle, but introduce feuds ; they protect lund, but squander money in bitter litigations. To fill up the whole sub ject of fences, with appropriate preaching, would require a sermon as long as an old fashioned Puritan discourse. In this par ticular case, we tlo not see that much is left for us. The writer has argued his case, and decided it rightly. Peace is more precious than gold among neighbors. Don't go to lair, (f you can help it. Some men take medicine for every pinch and qualm and are never well. Some men take law for every little spite or right, und they never have any comfort of their lives. What 1 Shall a man give up his rights t In a free country, a native-born American, and be afraid to stand up for his rights ? It is true, that men ought to ascertain clearly what are their rights ; and that they should see to it that, in the main, they are respected. But even this relates rather to such rights as involve a man's moral and civil standing. Cases may arise in wlucu one should sacrifice his whole property, and his very lite, rather than yield a just and im portant right. But in every such case there must be a clear and uuqueatiouable reason for such outlay. On the other hand, many of our rights are not to be selfishly maintained they are to be waived, yielded, given away, for the benefit of others. A man who keeps ull his rights for his own use is selfish and uulove- ly. Define and authenticate your rights, and then, if you can make men happier, use them generously, and even forego them 1 A mother's whole life is mado up of a seiies of giving up her rights for the benefit of her children. Is any other name more noble among men than thut of mother f Yet, there mtty be cases in which a little law will be useful to a neighborhood. If some strong and arrogant man domi neers until, by yieldiug to him, he baa come to think thut he can have everything bis own way, it will be good for him and for the whole neighborhood if some smart, stiff necked farmer will teaoh him a lesson at law. If there be a meau and selfish nature in a neighborhood, w ho makes it a rule to go just as far as people will allow, and to filch uml grasp whatever he can, it may be a duty to put up a tence ot tuo law arounu uim. But if a man is only careless and slow, and negligent, and yet really does not in tend any harm, I think that I should mend the fence myself before going to law. Coax him, talk to him as plainly as you write to me. It it difficult to manage a man who has the riuht on his side, but where all the right is on your side, you ought to be able to manage any uian. Keep out ot law 1 It will squander more money than it will save. It breaks down more leuces than it put in order. No bet ter citizens live than lawyers. But, going to late is next to going to a grog shop. When a man begius, you uever kuow when he will end. It is best to keep your secrets to yourself; you may then feu I sure they are yours, and that you are not arousing the jealousy of other or creating fear in your own mind that other know bow to wrong you. Profane swearing Dover did any wan good. No man ia richer, or happier, or wiser for it. It commends no one to any society. It ia disuustinu to the friend, abominable to th good ; iusultiug to thos with whom w associate; degrading to IB wind unpruQ table, Ddlsi, injurious to aocity.

The New York Tribune rclutes an inter view with General Loogstrcet, in this man ner: Yesterday a chieftain of the late Rebel lion, General James Longstreet, arrived in New York. Since the war be accepted the situation, and has used his influence to counsel and guide bis people and to lead mem saieiy Dack to an enduring peace. Yesterday eveuing a reporter of the TrUmne called upon tho General at the New York Hotel. Imagine seated at a table a tall, well-built man in a suit of black. The face is a kindly, pleasant one, the beard is sandy and grizzled and the cheeks are flushed. The forehead is higli and the eyes are grey and soft in expression. The mouth square ly cut denotes decision, and there is that quiet resolute air about hint that reminded one of General Grant, whom he strongly resembles in looks and manner. Although suffering from an attack of fever, he bore himself resolutely above pain and conversed freuly upon affairs in the Southern States. As a portion of the conversation bears di rectly upon the coming campaign, I give it in full. Reporter Do you think wo will have better days iu tho Southern States ? Generul Longstreet Assuredly. The cot ton crop has been very large this year, and we will soon have capital of our own to work upon. Rep. Suppose Seymour is elected, do you think we will buve unother war I Gen. L. I cannot say as to that; but I believe that if he is clectod it will open all those old issues, and we will have trouble ; but I don't think ho will be elected. Rep. What do you think of Giant? Geu. L. He is my man. I believe he is a fair mau. I met hiiu ut West Point. I thiuk he is above meanness. His silence is grand. litp. There is one thing I would like to ask. It is in regard to the negro. Geu. L. (smiling) I will tell you all I know. Rep. Will he keep his contracts iu re gard to labor ? Geu. L. I can relate my own experience. My men have worked well. They like to have a white uiun come out in the field and tell them what to do. There was always a class of lazy men who would sit in their houses and give their orders. These men de serve to have trouble. Rep. And in regard to jury triuls I mean negroes upou u jury bench ? Gen. L. In some cases that is bad for instance, where uu action involves an ac count. Negroes generally are ignorant upon intricate mutters of business. But if a district is disposed to do right with them, the jury may be divided white anil black. They (the negroes) soon learn, and appre ciate the position. Rej. About negro supremacy ? Gen. L. Ah, that can never be ; it is sil ly to thiuk of it. They can never be strong er than they ure to-day, aud the whites of the South know it, but they uro misled by the politicians. Rep. Iu regard to the acts of reconstruc tion ( Gen. L. I advise my friends to accept them, uud come into the Union, aud try to bring about peace and prosperity. I told the people of Alabama if they would not be guided by the politicians they would come out all right. Rep. And you think it will come out all right? Gen. L. I do ; the crops are large. The cotton crop is worth $200,000,000. That is a step towards bringing about tho desired result. Chase was my man. I think if nominated he could have been elected, and the Southern people would rally about him without knowing it; 1 cannot vote lor Sey mour; but any way, I think good times are not very far distant. A Disagreeable Bedfellow. Three gentlemen, while in Providence, on business, stopped at one of the best hotels of that place and asked the clerk to prepare a room for them one with double beds, to than tbe trio could room together. The clerk an swered that he could accommodate them if one would sleep with a stranger, as all the other rooms were occupied. After some hesitation one of the number taid be was perfectly willing to sleep with the stanger. The trio were soon shown to their room, where they beheld aeatcd on one of the beds, purtiully undressed, a gent, who ap peared to be an excellent specimen of the geuius daudv, as he stared at the new-comers through an eye-glass which he held daintily in his dngets. Our friend, who had promised to sleep with the stranger, quickly disrobed himself of his outer garments, and after seating himself on a chair betide tbe bed occupied by rhe dundy, commenced to scratch his head vigorously. This proceeding astonish ed the dundy ; but his amazement was con siderably increased by hearing our friend say to oue of his companions "Jimmy, did you bring your floe tooth comb with you ? If you did, lend it to me, for my head is very itchy 1" The dandy started on hearing this, quick ly dressed himself, and, with an expression of disgust on his countenance, left the room. It is needless to say our friend slept alone that night. Goto Farming. A good living is what comparatively few men succeed iu making in village or city life, and yet nothing is more easy of accomplishment on the farm. Besides, there is a pleasure in cultivating and embellishing the earth, improving and increasing its products, and thus adding to the aggregate of humun happiness. Why, then, should young men hesitate to become fanner It is both profitable and honor able. It is the nearest approximation to in dependence, that man, as a member nf socie ty, can make. A gentleman laruier aim all farmers are, or should be, gentlemen belongs to an order of nobility that 1 not indebted to place-holders for its installation, and may, if he chooses, be ranked among the greatest benefactors of the human race. Let all ullo young men go io wor uu lurm. and quit seeking third aud fourth rate clerk ships. In short, go to farming ana quit begging. crtnimge. Couldn't Tkll. A daf key was examined io a Washington court, recently, to prove the identity of a white man. "Did you see the m.n f" asked th attor ney. "Yes, sab, I seed bira.M 'Was be a whit men ?" "Duduo. sab." "Do you say you taw the mau and can't say whether he was wbito or black 1" "Yea, tab, I aeed him, but dere's to many whit fellart callin'derselvesniggeri around hr I caq't tH on from toddt I" Knell a Liove I.eller. We have read love letters heretofore, and, muybap, have written one or two ; but tor sublimity we never taw anything to com pare with the following which we. clip from an exchange : "Mr Dear Sally : Every time I thiuk of you my heart flops up and down like a churn dasher. Sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like ynung goats over a stable roof and thrill thro' it -like Spanish needles through a pair of tow linen trow ters. At a goslin swimmith with delight in a mufl puddle, so swim I in a sea of glory. Visions of ecstatic rapture, thicker than the hair of a blacking brush and brighter than the hues nf a hummingbird's pinions, visit me in my slumber ; and borne on their in visible wings, your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it, like an old pointer snapping at a blue bottle fly. When I first beheld your angelic perfections I was bewildered, and my brain whirled. round like a bumble bee in a glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like cellllr doors in country towns, I lifted tip my cars to catch tho sil very accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag, and in silent admiration I drank in the sweet infection of love, as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of hot whisky punch. Since the light of your faco leil upon my life, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself by my boot straps to the top of a church steeple. Day and night you are my thought. When Aurora, blush ing like a bnde.mes from her saffron couch; when the jay-bird pipes his tuneful lay in theapplo treo by the spring house ; when tho chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds the coming morn ; when tho awakened pig ari.eth from his bed and grunteth and goeth lor his morning refreshments; when the drowsy beetle wheels his drowning flight at sultry noon tide, and when tho lowing cows come home at milking time, I think of thee : and liko a piece of gum elastio uiy heart seemed to stretch clean across my bosom. Your hair is like tho mane of a snrel horse powdered with gold ; and the brass pins sKreweii inrougii your watertull nil me with unbounded awe. Your forehead is smooth er than tlio elbow of nn old coat, and whiter than seventeen hundred linen. Your eyes aro glorious to behold. In their liquid depths I see legions of littlo Cupids battling and lighting like cohorts ot ants iu old aiiny crackers. When their fire hit me full on my manly breast, it permeated my en tire anatomy, liko a load of bin! shot would go through a rotten apple. Your nose is Irom a chunk of Piirisiau marble, and your mouth puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on your lips like honey on a bear's paw, and myriads of unfiedged kisses aro there ready to fly out and light snmewhero like young blue birds out of the parent nest. Your laugh ring on my ears like the windharp's strains, or the bleat of a strav lamb on the bleak hillside. Tho dimples on your cheeks are like bowers in beds of roses, or like hollows in cakes of home made sugar. I am dying to fly to your presence and pour out tho burning eloquence of my love, as thrifty housewives pour out 'tot coffee. Away from you, I am melancholy as a eick cat. Uncouth fears, liku a thousand min nows, nibble at my spirits, und my soul is pierced through with doubts as an old cheese is bnred with skippers. My love lor you is stronger than the smell of old butter. Switzcr cheese, or a kick of a mule ; it is purer than tho breath of a young cow, and more unselfish than the kitten's first caterwaul. As the s'ing bird hungers for tho light of day, tho cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the tray, a lean pup han kers alter new milk, so I long for thee. You are fairer than a speckled pullet ; sweeter than a luukee doughnut tried in sorghum molasses; brighter than the top knot plumage on the head of a muscovy duck. You arc candy kisses, pound cake, and swoetened toddy altogether. If these remarks will enublo you to see the inside of my soul, and me to win your affections, I shall be as happy as a wood pecker in a cherry tree, or a stage horse in green pasture. If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling passion, I will die away like a poisoned bedbug, and in coming years when the shadows grow long from the hills, and the philanthropic frog sings bis evening hymn, you, happy in another love can come and drop a tear, anil tost a clod upon tbe last resting place of Advice to American Women. Dr. Hall, speaking of the frail health uud early fading ot American women, especially in cities und large towns, says they live too luxuriously, and their habit of eating and sleepiug are too artificial and irregular. Ourjoung wo. men are often trained in female boarding. schools, which, with rare exceptions, are academies of mental, moral and physical deprivations ; while novel reading iu secret and a smattering of everything in public, with thorough practical knowledge of noth ing, is the order of the day. From the timo they leave school to marriage, nothing is done to establish the constitutional to make firm the health no instructions given as to how that may be preserved; no active teach ing as to household duties, no icvigoruting morning walks, no wholesome, elegant, and graceful exercise on horseback. Tho days are spent in eatiug, in easy lounging, iu ceremonial visitings, in luxurious dreaminga over seutimentul fiction ; their nights in heated roams or crowded assemblies of hot andpoisoned, if pot putrid, air. No won der that, with educations like these, tho girls of our cities and large towns fade away into the grave long before they reach the maturity of womanhood. An Incident of tub Bar. Some of the disciples of Themis in the rural distriuU often take a lofty flight. "May it please the court," taid a lawyer before a Dutch justice, the other day, "this is a case of tho greatest importance. While the American eagle, whose sleepless eye watches over tho welfare of this mighty Re public, and whose wings cxteud from tbe Allcgheniet to the rocky chain of the West, was rejoicing in hi pride of place" "Stop daro 1 ttop dare, I say !

Ladies who are accustomed to answer this question in the natural snd common-sense way at home often seem to suppose that "company manners" require them to convey all food to the mouth by the aid of knife and fork when away, and deny themselves the luxury of taking tilings In their fingers, greatly to their discomfort, if not positive injury ; for every one knows thnt there is a iuiciness, a sweetness, a suc culence, a satisfaction about corn gnawed trom tbe ear and chicken tucked from the bone not obtainable any other way. Soma hotel proprietors solve the question very satisfactorily (to themselves) by not provi ding any green corn or chickens excusing themselves on the ground thut they are "not able to get enough to go around." But this is a shameful way f getting around a social problem, instead of solving it, and we, consequently, confine our remarks to the guests of those hotels whioh do provide chicken and also corn. Wo are very glad to be able to say there is very high authority for the finger process that the ladies love so well, and which, we are suro, cannot be un pleasant to the corn and chickens. This authority is no less than Brillat Savarin, a gentleman, courtier and philosopher, who, in lectures to his cook, writes us follows : "Remember, my dear professor, I biu to have ladies to dinner to day. You have not forgotten, I hope, my former instructions to you on tho subject of dishes. Al ways have a variety of little sido dishes, chops, small birds, wings of fowls, things wilh bones in the them; things they can take in their fingers, la short, pickings; for I observe thut ladies apply themselves with delight to things they can pick. Aud I observe, too, that they never look so charming as when extracting the delicate juices of bones which yield themselves only to tho caressing of lips; except, perhaps, when they am wiping their lips and lingers on their napkin, which they will do tro qnently." If crepn corn had been a French instead of a Yankee dish, Savarin would undoubt edly have included it in his list of dishes ; and with this high authority no lady need bo afraid to follow tho dictates of common sense and her own taste, and handle corn cob and chicken bono at her own sweet will, especially when wo add that our opinion coiuefdes exactly with S.tvariu's. Exchange, Sleep. Exorcise vour body and your mind till you are tiled, and no longer; sleep till yon are refreshed, but no longer; wheu tho bed becomes irksome, get up if circum stances permit; when again. Nuturo calls for rest, follow her dictates and regard not the time or hour. In health, custom rules ; but when sickness takes the helm, nature will not be controlled. In good health, seven or eight hours' sleep is generally sufficient; a disposition to lie in bed beyond the usual hours generally arises from somo derange ment of tho digestive organs. In sickness, if tho patient is favored with sleep, nothing will so soon renovate and restore strength ; when a nurse perceives her patient inclined to sleep, let everything give way, no matter what time it happens. A patient should never be awakened to take medicine ; no medicine can be so beneficial as sleep, which is the balm ot'Gilead of this state of being, and comforts both mind and body beyond any other things. Sleep is sound, sw eet sod refreshing, according us the alimentary or gans are easy, quiet aud clean. Beactt of Old People. Men and wo men make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton sppsks of a man "who was uglier than ho had any business to be," and if he could but read it every human being carried his life in his facn. an l is good looking or the reverse, as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisel of thought and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of bloom ing ynnng men and of pink white maids. There is a slow crowing beauty which only comes to perfection in old sue. Grace be longs to uo period of life, and improves the longer it exists. A traveler says there is a race of men at the extremity of South America of such enormous proportions that they mix their lather in a washtub and shave with a scythe The young fellow who makes engagements with the ladies only to break them off, is a beau of promise. ki:;ipi:m. a-c.
