WATCH. MOTHER.
The following, entitled "Watcb, Moth
er," is beautiful: One of those little gems
which touch the heart :
Mother; watch' the little feet, .
ClitiiLing o'er the garden wall.
Bounding through the busy street,-
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Jiever count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs',
Little feet will go astray.
Guide them mother, while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand!
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand.
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
''Why to me-thi-s weary task ?"
These same little hapds .may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother ! watch the little tongue -
Prattling, eloquent and wild,
What is faid aurd what is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken.
Flop the vow before 'tis broken ;
The same tongue may yet procli-itn
Blessings in a Saviour's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you ; '
Wholesome le:ons now impart ;
Keep, O keep that young heart true,
Extracting every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed ;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.
OUTWITTED.
I declare.
wife, that boy will ruin my
di'positiou I
For obstinacy and contrariety
he cio't be beat. A six muie team is no
where. He's gone jwd got one of those
hats, and he knows they are my special de
testation; and, only last week, I told him
to take off those high-heeled boots,-but,
would you believe it, he has got two more
lifts on the heels, at the very Lest, and I
don't know but there's half ad:zcu. Dear!
dear! dear! it's so provoking! Then Miss
Waldron isgoi:g to leave us to morrow.and
I don't kuow where iu the world we shall
find anybody to take care of these young
ones. Nothing but trouble, trouble, trou
ble !"
And Mr. Samuel Barnabce dropped his
two hundred aod fifty pounds into a chair,
to blow awhile, after this outbursi of com
plaints. ,..
"Whv, Samuel !" said Mrs. Birnrtbee,
"I think you are fcotiiewhat unreasonable.
Of course John must Dot ignore the cus
tomsof the times."
"Yes, yes, yes! but what has all this lo
do with the governess?"
"As for that, Samuel, I anticipate no
UouDle."
"Dear! dear! dear! it's nothing but trou
And Ella WakeEeld will be here next
wclc. I'll bet the best dollar I ever had
that, when John knows I want him to mar
ry her, he'll go straight off and marry some
widow or other."
"How would it do, Samuel, to make him
thick that you do not waothini to?"
"'By gracious! Ill try him on that
tack. Does the rascal know she's com
ing?" "Yes, I told him this morning."
"I wonder how Ella looks? We haven't
seen her since she was a wee thing. D.-ar !
dear

ones
carry on ! They will drive me crazy

There's that John now. Just see that hal !
If there is one thin that I hate more than
another, it is a hat just like that one. And
tre those boots ! He looks for all the world
a if he were walking on btilts. Dear 1 dear !
d-ar !"
John Barnatee wis sauntering leisurely
toward the house, unconscious of what his
respected father way saying about him, and
ruhlirnely indifferent. With the utmost
nonch'ihiitce he walked into the room where
his tV.her was sitting with snapping eyes
aod n very red face.
"I don't believR there's another hit like
that in the whole city," jerked out the irate
old gentleman, vexed that John had the
impudence to wear it in hi presence.
"Bent & Bush hare them by the whole
e," remarked John, with a mischievous
twinkle in his eye. "Shall I order one for
you. father ?"
"M--? in-:? you jackanapes! Me, with
uoh a thing on my bead ? I'd sooner wear
U"let! 1 don't see what on earth they
ere ever ma le for."
"I believe they were made to wear," said
John, very seriously.
'ou you impudent there, what did
I tell y,jU about those loots?"
rather, I consulted my bootmaker, and
II a his candid opinion that the boots
"fluid not be worth a dime without heels."
Dear! dear! dear I what impudence!
But there's another matter I want to talk

I shall not need to remember," said John,
quietly ; for he very well knew that his
father did not mean what be eaid. "I am
80"ig into the country, and shall not return,

Oh! you want me to marry her without

Who said anything about your not ma

testily.
"vou, father."
"' m that, yoa raacall I do
want you to mate love to ber, and marry
her, tno; so you understand? And you
ain't going into the country, either."
"But my health, father."
"Hang your health ! You'll find an in
salubrious climate, if you go against my
wishes. Do you understand now ?"
"I flatter wyse that I do, father. How
long will Miss Wakefield remain ?"
, "Only a week. Then you can go where
you please. Remember, now."
I will try, father ; but you know

nabee's reply to her husband.
"I'll disinherit him beforo I'm a day ol

"I'll wait awhile. Wife, have my valise
packed; I'm going otf to find somebody to

jUr. bamuel Barnahee toot the first
morning train, and was gone three days.
"Dear ! dear ! dear ! such a chase as I have
had! If I have been in one town, I've
been in a dozen !. Dear! dear I"
"Did you see John ?" asked Mrs, Barna
bce. "No ; nor don't want to. I went after a
girl. Dear! dear!"
"You did r.ot End one, then?"
"Yes I did. too ; and she will be here
next week. Let's see ; her name is is
Mortmain."
Miss A'ortmain arrived punctually.
"Why, Samuel, I'm afraid she will not
suit us, "said Mrs. Barnabee ''she is so very
young.
"Well, wife, we'll try lief awhile. I
guewj she ii-n't so young as she looks. We'll
try her a week or two. By the way. Miss
Wakefield woii't come this week. Sick, I
guess. I saw her father. That rascal John,
I'll not let him know next time."
Notwithstanding her misgiving', Mrs.
Barnabee was well pleaded with Miss Mort
main. With a face sutTassinjrly beautiful
and a sunny disposition wax united a love
for children which made the? care of thera a
pleasure and won the confidence of the lit
tie prattlers at once. The rest was very
easy, for it has been fruTy said that the way
to a mother's heart is through her children.
John ventured back after a two weeks'
absence.
"Has fhe gone, mother?" lie asked, the
moment he stepped into the house.
"She has not been here, John. Sickhc'fs,
I think your father said."
John was vexed, but he laughed.
"I do not wish the ladj any ill," said he,
"but if I could have my say. I should hope
that sickness, or something else, mieht keep
her away, at least until I am married, if
ever I decide to risk my happiness in 'such
a way !"
"Why John B.wnabee !"
"There, mother, don't be shocked at my
nonsense; But who i that young lady I
see with the children?"
"Miss Mortmain. She takes Miss Wal
dron's place."
"Humph ! She is a child herself," said
he, turning away, yet not witheut a second
look at the bright joung face.
Mr. Samuel Barnabee appeared to take
no notice of his son's return ; and he also
seemed to have lost his fault finding jrro
ffivities. '
But John was not alarmed. Accustomed
to his father's idiosyncracies from the cra
dle, he felt sure that this new phase would
explain itself in time. And he had anoth
er matter to accupy his mind. Mi.sa Ella
Mortmain had awakened an interest in his
hitherto obdurate heart ; but he met with
no encouragement. While she seemed
grateful for his attentions, shekept him in
a state of anxious suspense by her eold and
stately dignity. But he was not disheart
ened. "I uill win her." thoueht lie "I must
win her love." Samuel Barnabee could not
or would not see the danger, while to his
wife it was very obvious.
"John," said she, "I fear that "you are
doing wrong. I do not know what your
father will say when he knows it. You
know he is determined that Ella Wakefield
shall be your wife."
"And I am determined that she shall not,
mother. I cannot be dictated to in a mat
ter that relates to my own happiness."
"But you ought to let your father know
it."
'I shall not tell him, mother."
"Then I must, John."
"I do no', object ; only it may

do as you think best, mother,
he mav sav will not affect me in
so far as my resolution to marry the woman
of my choice is concerned." ,
Mrs. Barnabee felt that it was her duty
to inform her husband, yet it was a very
unpleasant task.
"Wants to marry the governess, does
he?" exclaimed Mr. Barnabee, growing
very red in the face. "I'll fchow him I
Where is the young rascal?"
"In the library with Miss Mortmain and
the children ; but I wouldn't go there now."
"I shall go just this minute," said lie,
waddling to the door. "I'll know what's
what. Dear! dear!"
John was sitting at the window. .
He held an open hook in his hand, but he
couldn't have told a single word there was
on the page, for he was watching every
movement of Ella Mortmain, as uncon
scious of his scrutiny, she heard the chil-
drco's lessons.
"You rascal 1" exclaimed Samuel Barna
bee, bursting into the room, wheezing and
puffing. "You want to marry Miss Mort
main, do you?"
The lady blushed crimson, while' John
arose, blazing with indignation.
"Father, I entreat you to have some re
spect "
"Want to marry her, do you?" repeated
the old gentleman. "She's crazy to once
think of 6uch a jackanapes ; and I am not
going to impose upon her ' by consenting.
Why, my dear child, that boy is not worth
the salt he eats. I shall disinherit hitu if
he-"
"Stop, Father!"cried John-.
"Stop?" shrieked Mr. Barnabce, as he
grasped John by the arm.. "Come over
here now, and tell me the truth. Now Miss
Mortmain, do you really want to marry this
boy?"
Tie poor cirl turned away her head to
hide her confusion, and John, deeply mor-
tilied, yet half pleased at the (urn of af
fairs, stepped to her side.
"Father," said he, "no word of the kind
has ever passed between us, but as the
question has been asked, I alone must re-
recive the answer. I am waiting, Ella."
She lifted up her face, radiant with love
and joy, and for an answer she placed her
hand in his.
"That's enough ! that's plenty !" cried
the old gentleman. "Ah, you rascal ! I've
outwitted you ; and as you won't be likely
to back off the track now, I'll just tell you
that you have been making lovo to Ella
Mortmain Wakefield. 11a! ha! Ella, you
never guessed what Ijwas driving at when
I wanted you to come here uicoynita. Dear!
dear! I hope you will be happy."
And they were happy.
A Reply by Carlyle. The curious
and "troublesome" style of Carlyle is said
to be quite in contrast with his simple,
straightforward way of talking. Hatred of
sham is one of his notable characteristics.
One evei.ing, at a small literary gathering,
a lady, famed for her "muslin theology,"
was bewailing the wickedness of the Jews
in not receiving our Saviour, and ended her
diatribe by expressing regret that He had
not appeared in our own time. "How de
lighted," said she, "we should all be to
throw our doors open to Him. and listen to
His divine precepts ! 'Dou't you thiiik suj
Mr. Carlyle?"
The sturJy philosopher, thus appealed to,
said, in his broad Scotch, "No, itiadtui, I
don't. I thiuk that had lie come very
fashionably diessed,- with plenty of money,
and preaching doctrines palatable to the
higher orders, I might have had the honor
of receiving from you a card of invitation,
on the back of which would be written, "To
uiee'fc our Saviour" : but if He had come
utterine His subline precepts, and denoun
cing tie Pharisees, and associating with the
public and lower orders, . as 'He did, you
would have treated Him much as the Jews
did, dnd have cried out, 'Take Him to
Newgate and hang Him !' "
Omniscience. Lafayette, the friend and
ally of Washington, was in his youth con
fined in a French dungeon, in the door of
his cell there was cut a small hole just big
enough for a man's eye ; at that hole a sen
tinel was placed, whose duty it was to watch
moment by moment till he w;i3 relieved by
the change of guard. All he could see v?as
the wiukiug eye, but the eye was always
there ; look when he would it met his gaze.
In his dreams he was conscious it was sta
ring at him. "Oh," he says, "it was
horrible ; there was no escape ; when he lay
down, and when he rose up, when he ate,
and when he read, that eye searched him."
So God's eye i.- upon each of us, irom the
very fit at breath that we draw to the vety
last. "
UNnEALTflrTLNESS OF FEATHERS. The
reason of feathers being so unhealthy to
sleep ou is because they are very poor con
ductors of heat, and consequently keep the
skin overheated, debilitating it, pieventing
the full performance of its functions, and
rendering the person nure liable to col Is.
Not only this, but the functions of the ikiti
being impaired, the liver, kidneys, and
lungs have to do extra duty, and are liable
to become diseased in consequence. An
other objection to feathers is, that there is
a decomposition of animal matter going on
all the time, and they absorb and retain the
emanations from the body to such an extent
that they soon become too filthy for even
common decency.
Hard Up. At a station on tho overland
route the keeper got rather short of provis
ions in fact, had nothing left but a bottic
ot mustard and some bacon. As the stage
stopped there one day to change horses, the
passengers seated themselves at the table
and the host said, '"Bacon ?"
"No, thank you ; I never eat bacon,"
said one traveler.
"Well, then," said the station keeper,
"help yourself to the mustard !"
Two ladies in New York were talking
about the sparrows and their usefulness in
ridding the city of the canker worms which
used to be such a nuisance. One said that
the noisy chirping of the sparrows early in
the morning when she wanted to sleep, was
as great an evil as the worms; the other
disagreed.. Just then a gentleman came in
and was appealed to : "Mr. A., which do
you think the worse, sparrows or worms?"
He answered, "I don't know ; I never had
sparrows."

A Yankee Eeceipt.
My gettin' the better ot my wife's father
is one of the richest things on record. I'll
te'l you how it was. You must know that
he is monstrous stingy. The complaint seems
to run in the family, and everybody round
our parts noticed that he never by any
chance, asked any one to dine with him. So
one day. jist for a chunk of fun, I said to a
friend ot mine, 'Jeddy, I'll bet you a pint
of shoestrings azainst a row of pins, that I
get old Ben Merkins, that's my wife's faih
er, to ask me to dinner." "
"Ycou git out," said Jeddy ; "why, yeou
might as well try to coax a est into a show
er bath, or get moonbeams out of a cowcuui
ber." I
"Well, I'm going to try," said L
And try I did, and I'll tell you how I went
to work.
vi as viu ueu was oiicltl uowtr 10 uui-
nor, at 1 o'clock, I rushed to the house at a
high pressure pace, red hot in the face.with
my coat tails in the air, aod eyes rolling a
bout like billiard bails in convulsions. Rat

awful runipm, nod in a flash out came old
Ben himself. I had struck the right tuinit.
lie had a napkin under his chin, and a carv
ing knife in his hand. I smelt the dinner
as he opened the door.
"O, Mr. Merkins," saidl,"l'ra tarnation
glad to see you. I teared you moughn't be
at home I'm almost out of breath. I'm
come to tell you that I caa save you a thou
sand dollars."
"A thomand dollars," roared the old
man ; acd I defy a weasel to go 'pop' quick
er thon his face burst into smiles. "A thou
sand doliars! Yeou don't say so ! Du tell !"
"Oh, I see you are just havin' dinner, I'll
go and dine myself and then I'll come back
and tell you all about it."
"Nonsense," said he, "don't go away;
come in and sit down and enjoy yourseif.like
a good fellow, and have a smack with me. I
am anxious to hear what you havo to say."
I pretended to decline, sayin' I'd come
back.but I'd thoroughly stirred up the
old chap's curiosity, and it ended by his fair
ly pullin' me into the house, and I made a
rattlin' dinner" of pork arvl biMns.-
I managed for some time to dodge the
main point of his inquiry. At last I finish
ed earing, and there was no further exeu5
for delay; besidci old Ben was getting
Sdgc-ly.
"Come, now," said he, "no more preface.
About that thousand dollars ; come, let it
out."
"Well.I'll tell you what,"said I : "you've
a darter, Misery Ann, to dispose of iu mar
riatre, have you not?"
'"What's that got todo with it?" inter
rupted he.
"Hold your proud steeds don't run off
the track-a great deal to do with it," said I
"Neow answer my question. "
"Well," said he "I have."
''And you intend.-when she marries, to
give her $10,000 for a portion ?"
"I do," he said.
"Well, now, there's a pint I'm coming to;
let me have her, and I'll taSe her with $9.
000; and $9,000 from $10,000 according to
simple subtraction, jist leaves $1,000. and
that will be clear profit saved slick as a
whistle!"
The next thing 1 knew there was a rapid
interview going on between old Ben's foot
and my coat tails and I am inclined to think
the latter got the worst of it.
A young rural lawyer in Illinois is going
to take the stump during next year's cam
paign, and proposes to "grasp a ray of light
from the great orb ot day, spin it into
threads of gold, and with them weave a
shroud in which to wrap the wh irlwind which
dies upon the bosom of our great Western
prairies."
An exchange paper tells the story of a
man who was found on a Sunday morning,
without a hat, sitting on a block of granite
with his bare feet in a brook, trying to catch
a bad cold, so as to sing bass.
A western woman thus addresses her eld
est jewel: "My daughter, vou are now (if
teen years of ace, engaged to be married,
and without a freckle on your face. I have
done my duty."
DifFtreat Wfys of Eit nj.
A distinguished physiciau of our ecquain
tance who has occasion to examine the chests
of many people., says that he gets a great
deal of amusement in observing the difler-
etrt ways in which people put on a shi: t. Wc
6ud no little amusement in noticing the dif
ferent ways iu which people eat. Those of
us who have business "down town" in the
city, mostly eat at a restaurant where doz
ens and sometimes hundreds are taking their
noon day meal. It is curious to -ee the dif
ferent ways in which people will go about
the same' operation. Sjiuo "gobble up"
their food as if on a wager to sea how soon
tlrey can dispose of it. and others pick at it
as if looking lor something disagreeable in
it and they find it too, sometimes, at res
taurants. Some act as if they were the only
persons at the table, and reach dii ectly across
one's face for salt or pepper, while others
will be careful not to intrude upon their
neighbors in any manner. You can always
pick out the gentlemen by the way in which
they regard the comfort ot others. It is bad
enough to see one wipe his knife on his li
ani then put it into- the butter, but tlw
greatest anncyauce is the man who "eats
with his elbows." We mean those chaps
who keep their elbows working like a fiddler.
It is a real discomfort to sit next to one of
these, as the frequent nudges and knocks
that one gets from the industrious elbow
quite destroys the enjoyment of a meal. It
is not in restaurants only that we have no
tied this uncouth performing!, but in ho
tels and private families. It .is n3t likely
that those who annoy others in this way are
conscious of doing so, but it is the exercise
of a bad habit foru,eJ when young. We
would not like to think that, any of our
young friends eat in this wav, but if they
find themselves doing so.let them try to cut.
the food and carry it to th-s mouth without
spreading out the elbows ; they will find it
quite as easy, and they will nm, in this re
spect at least, amuy others at the table.
Thought. In educating the mind our
first duty should be to tench it to think, so
that.its powers cart be concentrated upon a
single point without painful effort. When
Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he made
such vast discoveries in the various depart
ments of science, ho replied, "by thinking."
patient thought by which those itiagn'licent
theories, the wonder of the present day,
were brought furth. In early years lie learn
ed to think, and as thought generates thet',
and the mind of man is c:uib!c of almost
infinite expnnsion, he went on step by step
in the labyrinths of science till death put an
end to his labors. The want of earnest
thought receives a daily illustration in the
institutions of learning all over the land.
The brainsof the students are cram mod with
an immense nias of rubbish collected from
other minds, and with this insubstantial re
past they are compelled to be satisfied. Not
once are they taught to dercend jnto the
caverns of thought and gather bright jewels
for themselves. 'J here arc, however, nr"a
b!e exceptions in th s general laxitv of dis
cipline. and the lisrt they shed forth shine
with a double brilliauey.
The I?ston IiaUrtni tells this: "Old
Judge B., nf New - Hampshire, was what
Artemus Ward would havo called a 'sociable
cuss' off the bench, and was noted forclaim
ing acquaintance with any one whose ap
pearand happened to please him. Enter
ing a crowded c;tr ou the Boston and Maine
Railroad one day, his honor found the only
unoccupied seat to be at the side of a smartly
diessed and rather good looking young wo
man. Ascertaining that the seat was not
engaged, the Judge settled himself comfort
ably in it, and turning with bis accustomed,
bland, fatherly smile to his fair companion,
said: "Your fnee seems familiar to me, my
dear; I think I must know you."
"Ishould think you might." said the un
known, in a hoarse, wh skey.contralio voice,
turning a vindictive pair o.Eycs on the as
tonished Judge ; "I should think you might;
jfou sent me to the House of Correction lor
three months last winter, you infernal old
scoundrel.
TnE Impolite Max. This individual is
mean in small ways. lie will help a pretty
girl, but never an old lady. He will keep
his seat and suffer a poor woman with a child
in her arms to stand. He will aist a seem -insly
rich la ly to pay her fare, but he looks
the other way when want and poverty ap
peal". He often finds himself without funds
or tickets, ami tells the conductor "he will
pay nest time.'' He never helps any body
but pretty girls, and begrudges everything
he is called upon to do for others. He opens
windows when others do not want air. He
is a perverse, selfish being generally, aud
seems to think that the railroad was built en
tirely for himself. He will not budjie an
inch to permit a person to pass out. He is
a natural born Lour.
The Comino Woman. Horace Greeley
asks thus : "Will the coming woman pull
teeth?" To" which the bald headed benedict
of the Indianapolis Mirrm doubtless speak
ing from sad experience responds: '"Our
limited prophetic knowledge prevents us
from answering Horace'; but, if the present
is a truthful criterion for the futute, we can
safely assert that the coming womon will
pull "hair." j-
Mark Twain has this advice for young men
with literary aspirations: "Write without
pay until somebody offers pay. If nobody
offers pay within three years the candidate
may look upon this circumstance with the
most implicit confidence as tho sign that
sawing wood is what he was iutended for."

THE KIDNEY S.
The Kidueyi are twoio number, sitnated at the
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by ft, and
conttsting of three parts, vis ; the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tie
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the
urine acd convey it to the exterior. Tbe exte
rior is c conductor also, terminating in a single
tube, and called the Cr.ter. The ureters are oeo-t-ccted
with the bladder.
Tbe bladder is composed of Tanoni coverings
or tis,ues. divided into parts, yirr the Upper, tb
Lower, tie Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
expels, tbe lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently ocean
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion tbe muscles, which are engaged in their va
rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropy may ensue.
Tbe reader most also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sore to arTee
tbe bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
Goct, or r.tiit atisu ptin occurring in the
loins is indicative of tbe above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and
chalky concretions.
Tbe Gravel. The gravel ensnes from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys These or
gacs being weak, the water is not expelled from
the Idadder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that tbe stone is formed, and gravel eftsae.
Dnorsr is a collection of water ia some parti of
the body, and bearsdifferent name?, according to
the parts sSected. vix: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of tbe
Abdomen. Ascites; wean of the chest, Iiydrotho

compound Extract Bucbu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of tbe bladder, kidneys,

II. T, HrxuB.ji.n. Druggist:
Dear Sir: I hive been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which tinjo I have used various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment of the mo;t eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
IlaTirg seen jeur preparation extensively ad
vertised. I consulted with rr.y family physician in
regard to using yeur Extract liucha.
I d:i this because I had nsed all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and ha I found them worthless,
aod come qait injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no rem
edies hereafter unlets I knew of the ingredient!.
It was this that prorfTpted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of bnebu,
lubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
uiy physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, scd consulting igain with tbe druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its use about
etgbt months ago. at which time I was confined
lo my room From the f rst licttte I was astonish
ed and gratified at tbe beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writing yon a full statement of my caso
at thwt timoC but tho ught my iinproTement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoneluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect euro,
knowing then it would be of greater value to yon
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cere is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
I have cot uted any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Cuchu being devoid ct any rnpleasant
taste and odor, a nice toni.imcd invigorator of the
system. I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.
