A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SAND FORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
TH>SIS ON EOF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MEDI- |
cal discoveries ever made, and is daily working cures
almost too great to believe. It cures as it by mauic, even
the first dose giving benefit, ami seldom more than one bo tie
is requited to cure tany kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia t to a common bead ache, all of
which are the result oi a diseased Liver.
The Liver isoneol the principal regulators of the human
body, and when it performs its lu ctions well, the powers of
the system are fullv doveloped. The stomach is almost en
tirely dependent on ithe, healthy action of the Liver for the
pr >per performance o‘ its functions. When the stomach is at
fault, the bowels are at fault, and the wi:o!esystem suffers in
consequence ot one. organ—the Liver —having ceaaed to do
ifs duty. For the disease of that organ, one oi the proprietors
has made it his study, in a. practice of more than 20 yeflrs, to
find some remedy wherewith to counteract the many derange
ments to which it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last foun i, any person trou
bled with liver complaint in any of its forms, i as but to try a
bottle and conviction is certain.
A compound has been formed by dissolving gums and ex
tracting that part which is soluble for the active virtues of
the medicine. These gums remeve all morbid or bad matter
from the system, supplying , n their place a healthy flow of
bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to digest well,
p irifying the blood, giving tone and jliealth to the whole ma
chinery, removing the causes of the disease,and effecting
a radical cure without any of the disagreeable-.after effects,
felt by using Calomel or Mineral Poison, that are usually re
sorted to.
To all who wili follow these directions a cure is positively
guaranteed.
Sick Headache can be cured by the use of lor 2 tea spoons
ful taken as soon as the attack is felt.
The I nvigorator never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
effects experienced after eating.
Billious attacks yield readily to one bottle, and Chronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is to cure,is never trouolesometo those
who take the I nvigorat or.
For Dyspepsia, Jaundice, nothing in the kuowu world acts
go fully or cures so quickly as the Invigorator. it removes
alt yellowness and unnatural color from the skin.
For Nightmare, take a dose before retiring, audit Is war;
ranted a sure prevt ntative.
For Female Obstructions, it tsasafe and sure remedy as it
removes the cause of the ‘disease.
Costiveness cannot exist where the Invigorator : is freely ta
ken while cholic yields readily to a lew doses.
It must be known that all these are Liver Diseases,or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a Liver med
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is sucb t a med
icine; it has me lieal powers never before discovered, that
will cure all of the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what'may be their lorn. The active medicinal
virtues extracted rotn the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing to all who see their effects, for none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit, it act* as a gentle cathartic,
and should always be taken insufficient quantities to oper
ate oil the bowels gently. The best .way to take it is to take
the medicine in the mouth, then takes me water and swal
low both together. 1 l thisway the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.

From the Home Journal.
John Audi-! sou my J...
This exquisite baHad, onstrueted bv Robert
Burns, out of a different and somewhat exception
able ivric, has always left something to be wished
for and regretted—it is not complete. But who
would venture to and to a song of Burns? As
Burns left it, it runs thus:
John Anderson, my jo John,
When we were first acquaint,
Your locks were like ti e raven,
Your bonnie brow was brem;
But now your brow is hald, John,
Your locks are like the snow;
But bletsings on your frosty pnw,
John Anderson, my jo.
John Anderson, my jo, John,
We climb the hill thegilher;
And mony a canty dav, John,
We’ve had wi’ aue anither.
Now we maun totter down, John,
But hand in hand we’ll go,
And sleep thegilher at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
Fine as it is it does not quite satisfy a contempla
tive mind; when one has gone so far, he looks and
longs for something more—something beyond the
the foot of the. hill Many a reader of Burns must
have fell this, and it is quite probable that many
have attempted to supply the deficiency, but we
know of only one success in so hazardous an ex
periment. This is the added verse :
John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we have slept thegilher,
The sleep thai a’ men must sleep, John,
We’ll wake wi’ aoe anither;
And in that better world, John,
Nae sorrow shall we know;
Nor fear we e’er shall part again,
John Anderson, my jo.
Simple, touching, true—nothing wanting and
nothing to spare; precisely harmonizing with the
original stanzas, and improving them by the fact of
completing them. The poetical achievement is
attributed to Mr. Charles Gould, a gentleman “four
town, whose life has been chiefly devoted to the
successful combination o \ figures —but no figures
of rhetoric. The verse was writien some years ago,
but it has not hitherto found its way into print;—
yet it well deserves to he incorporated with the
original song iu anv luture edition of Burns’ Po
ems, and we hope some publisher will act on this
s uggestion.
NEVER SAY FAIL.
Keep pushing, tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and sighing,
And waiting the tide;
In iite’s earnest battle
They only prevail
| Who daily march onward
And never say fail.
With an eye ever open,
A tongue that's not dumb.
And a heart that w ill never
To sorrow succumb;
You’ll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail—
How strong and how mighty
Who never say tail.
Ahead then, keep pushing.
And elbow your way,
Unheeding the envious—
All asses that brny,
All ohsiacles vanquirh,
All enemies quail.
In the, might ot their wisdom
Who never say fail.
In life’s rosy morning,
In manhood’s lair pride;
Let this be your motto
Your footsteps to guide;
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
We’ll onwatd and conquer,
And never say fail.
■ sketch of Three Southern Statesmen—by a Black Re
publican Artist.
Washington, Jan. 21.
Yesterday, when Hale was speaking, the right
j side of the chamber was empty, (as it generally is
| during the delivery of aDti-slaverv speeches,) with
the exception of a group of three, who sat near the
centre of the vacant place. This remarkable
group, which wore the air if not the ensigns of
power, authority, and public care, was composed
of Senators Davis, Hunter and Toombs, They
were engaged in an earnest colloquy, which how
ever, was foreign to the argument Hale was elab
orating, for though the connection of their words
was broken before it reached the gallery, their voi
ces were distinctly audible, and gave signs of their
abstraction. They were thinking aloud. If they
had met under the supervision ot some artist, gif
ted with the faculty of illustrating history and
character by attitude and expression, who design
ed to paint them in fresco on the walls of the new
Senate chamber, the combination could not have
been more appropriately arranged, than chance ar
ranged it on the occasion. Toombs sits among the
opposition on the left, (Hunter and Davis on the
right, and the fact that the two first came to Da
vis’ seat, the one gravitating to it from a remote,
the other from a near point, may beheld to indi
cate which of the three is the preponderating body
in the system —if preponderance there be; and
whose figure should occupy the foreground of the
picture, ifany precedence is to be accorded.—
Davis sat erect and composed; Hunter listening,
rested his head on his hand; and Toombs inclining
forward was speaking vehemently. Their respec
tive attitudes were no bad illustiation of their in
dividuality. Davis impressed the spectator, who
, bserved the easy but authoritatve bearing with
which he put aside or assented to Toombs’sug
gestions, with the notion of some slight superior
ity, some hardly acknowledged leadership; and
Hunter’s attentiveness and impassability were
characteristic of his nature, for his protoundity of
intellect wears the guise of solidity, and his contin
uous industry, that of inertia; while Toombs’
quick utteiance and restless head, bespoke his
nervous temperament and activity of mind. But
though each is different from either of the others,
the three have several attributes in common.
They are equally eminent as statesmen and de
baters; they are devoted to the same cause; they
are equals in rank and rivals in ambition; and they
are about the same age, and none of them, let
young America take notice, wear either beard or
moustache. I come again to the traits which dis
tinguish them from each other. In face and lorm;
Davis represents the Norman type with singular
fidelity, if my conception of that type be correct. He
s tall and sinewy, with fair hair, grey eyes, which
are clear, rather titan bright, high forehead, thin
compressed lips, straight nose and pointed chin.
His checks are hollow, anti the vicinity of his
mouth is deeply furrowed with interesting lines.—
Leanness of face, length and sharpness of feature,
and length of limb and intensity of expression,
rendered acute by angular facial outline, are the
general characteristics of his appearance.
I should imagine the blood of Pocahantas en
riched the veins of Hunter, for his complexion,
though faded, is tinted with warm coloring of the
native race. He is middle size, solidly built, and
black haired. His features are neither prominent
nor expressive, though his nose is slightly, very
slightly aquline. His physique would attract no
inspection in public from either sex, and his quiet
ness ofdemeancr on the floor of the Senate would
not designate to the stranger the leading Senator
from Virginia, and the triarcit of the slavery parly
in Congress. The pervading expression of his
countenance is that of exhaustion, repose, indo
lence, indifferonce. But his ordinary apathy and
immobility give the measure of his force on extra
ordinary occasions, It requires a strong impulse
to move him, but when the motive power is ade
quate. his momentum is great.
Toombs is stalwart, in body and variable in ex
pression of countenance. His black hair is siight
| ly grizzled, his black eyes are bright, and Ins rich
olive comulexion issubdued by thought. He has
fire, energy, vivacity and fluent animal spirit.—
Though not possessed of a regular feature, lie is
almost handsome, or, as the ladies would say, fas
cinating. He is equal to himself on all occasions
and seems to be iamiliar with the merits of every
question that comes before the Senate. He
has force of character, force of fancy, and the
knowledge reaped from severe and protracted
studv.
Os the three, he is the most formidable antago
nist in debate, not front superior powers of sign
inent, but from his emphatic dogmatism and asst-r
tion of his own personality. His argument is dis
cursive, embracing argument, declamation and
denunciation, and his clear, loud accents, range
the vocal gamut. There is nothing conventional
or artistic in his style, which is vigorous, natural
and occasionally rude, lie is a strong man. ex
pressing himself strongly and earnestly.
Davis’ voice is what the opera people would
call baritone. It serves well the purpose of public
speaking, for though monotonous it is pieasit g lo
the ear, and fills a large circle with sonorous ca
dences. If Toombs is discursive, Davis is didac
tic. He states principles and rules rather thanfacts
and arguments. He seems more addicted to the
enunciation of the results of his investigations and
researches, than to ratiocination. He gives the
ultimate inference, but suppresses the mental pro
cess by which he discovered it. When he rises
to any question, you may take it for granted that
he is master of the subject. The faculty of gener
alization would seem to be the dominant one of
his mind. He sometimes affects the pathetic, but
with doubtful success, and he shuns the realm of
‘he imagination Even in his speeches, you can
not fail to recognize the evidence of great admin
istrative capacity. He is equally well qualified for
shining iu council ami in controversy.
Hunter’s argument is learned, logical and ex-
haustive of the subject. Reasoning is his forte.—
His style is eminently practical and effective.—
Though neither brilliant nor .striking in parts, his
speeches are more telling and conclusive, on the
whole, than those of the others; he accumulates
facts and arguments, which in the mass are irre
fragible. He speaks hut seldom, but labors indefa
tigably in the committees. He has the rare merit
of preferring what is useful t” what is merely pop
ular, m the filling of hie Senatorial office. Os the
three, I should think he is the least liable to errors
of judgment. Toombs is very much of a gladiator:
Davis is ready enough to break a lance; but Hun
ter, with the greatest firmess, seems to possess but
little combattiveneSs. If affirmativeness, or the
assertion of personality, is the most destructive
mark of Toombs’ oratory, generalization that of
Davis,’ analysis and combination may be said to be
tiie peculiar distinctfen of Hunter’s—Correspond

New York Tribune and Mr. Stephens.
Thp New York Tribune of the 15th inet., con
tains three editorals, devoted almost exclusively to
our immediate Representative, the Hon. A. H
Stephens, and his prominent connection with the
leading Administration measure of the session—
the admission of Kansas into the Union under the
Lecompton Constitution. The first is an article
upon the Democratic caucus field in the Represen
tatives’Hall on Saturday evening, from which we
makefile following extracts:
“Mr. Stephens, ofGeorgia, an old fillibustering
Whig, essays to be leader of the Democracy in the
House at Washington, a task which lie seems to
find very difficult. We learn by telegraph that he
held a caucus of his host on Saturday night in the
Representatives’ Hall, the object of which hp de
clared to be lo take some measures by which his
party would not be subjected to the mortification
of being so often outvoted by the Black Republi
cans, who, he declared, were constantly defeating
them.”
“* * * Mr. Stephens proposes that a com
mittee of half a dozen, more or less, shall be cho
sen to block out work, ami enlighten members of
the parly as to how they should vote, so as lo ex
hibit some show of having a majority on the Ad
ministration side.”
* * * * *
“We feel for Mr. Stephens in his efforts to keep
up a pro-slavery majority in the House, because
we know the job to be a tough one. To insure it,
it is necessaryrto be constantly buying up mem
bers, and watching them after they are bought up.”
The next is an article upon the same subject,
from which the subjoined extract is taken :
Ttie administration members of the House held
a caucus in the hall on Saturday evening to devise
the ways and means of putting through the Le
compton Constitution. The object was not avowed
in so many words, but there was no mistaking it.
To give him he most Haman like elevation possi
ble. Mr. John Cochrane, t e eminent iree-soil can
vasser and resolution-writer of 1848, was called to
the chair, with Mr. Reagan of Texas as Secretary.
Mr. A. H. Stephens of course officiated as driver.
The Herald's correspondent thus sums up his
seech :
“Mr. Stephens of Geotgia, stated the object ofj
the meeting to be to effect if possible a concert of
action in the Democratic party relative to the bu- I
sine>s before Congress It frequently happened, |
he said, that the Republicans were in a majority; i
and tiie reason why it was so was that they were j
always on the ground when the roll was called: I
whereas the Democrats otten absented themselves \
from the hall after a certain hour in the day. He
desired to remedy tins in some manner. He j
moved that a committee of five be appointed, with j
power to call meetings and aiti nd to business gen- i
erally.” j
“We thank Mr. Stephens for this emphatic attes
tation of the fidelity and energy of the Republican
members of the House, which we are happy in
diffusing among their constituents, adding our own
asseriion that we believe it to be well deserved.
The fact tnat the Republicans and Douglas men
absolutely drove their opponents to a vote on the
reference of Lecompton, and beat them on that
reference, every Republican but one being present
and voteing, is but one ot many evidences of this.
We trust the Republican members will continue to
des rve Mr. Stephens’ undesigned commendations.
“But Mr. S. deals unreasonably with his own
followers, at least so far as those from the free
Sates are concerned. He must know that the woik
to which he lashes them is most di tasteful ami
unwelcome—that they loathe and revolt at it, while
ttipjrepugnance to it of their constituents is still
mere emphatic. Those members are doing what
their own consciences condemn, what their better
nature revolts at, with a moral certainty that most
of them will be discarded by their constituent s in
consequence. It isn’t fair to put men on fatigue
duly, and expect them to work on empty stom
achs, in such a cause. If the energetic and callable
leader can kepp them up to the work till three P.
M., he ought rather to praise them for standing
tiie service so well, and let them off with thanks,
than complain that tbev are not willing to do
more.’
And tiie last is tiie paragraph which follows, in
relation to tiie special committee appointed by tiie
Speaker, under the resolution of Mr. Harris, of Illi
nois :
“The House of Representatives, on a remarka
bly full vote, directed a thorough and searching in
vestigation of the origin, legitimacy ami validity of
the Lecompton Constitution, pieliminary to any
decisive action thereon; the minority resisting such
investigation and insisting that the’bill be sent to
the standing committee on Territories, whereof Mr.
A. H. Stephens is Chairman. Mr. Speaker Orr,
in appointing tiie select committee ordered by the t
House* a majority on it to Mr. A. H. Stephens, and
makes Col. u h:> made tiie successful mo
tion to commit and investigate, though nominal
Chairman, the head ot a minority only of the com
mittee. In other wotds—tiie House ordered a ref
erence to Col. Harrs and a committee like him;
but the Speaker overruled the House, and sent the
measure to Mr. Stephens and a committee of those
whom the House had expressly refused to intrust
with it.”
These extracts show that our distinguished Rep
resentative is regarded by the opposition as the
leader of the national Democracy in the House,
and feared by them, as the member whose ability
and influence are most to be dreaded. The charge
which they contain, that a majority of the House
must be brought up lo secure the passage of a bill
admitting Kansas into ihe Union, our readers, will
simply regard as a fresh proof of the unblushing
mendacity of the Tribune. —Augusta Constitu
tionalist.
Complete Business Men
Rare, almost as great poets—rarer, perhaps, than
veritable saints and martyrs—are consummate men
of business. A man, tube excellent in this wai.
must not only be variously gifted, but bis gifts
should he nicely proportioned to one another. He
must have in a high degree that virtue which men
have always found the least pleasant of virtues—
prudence. His prudence, however, a ill not be mere
lv ol a cautious and quiescent order, but l hat which
being actively engaged, is more fitly called discre
tion ‘ han prudence. Such a tnan must have an
almost ignominious love of details, blende.-, (and
this is a tare combination) illi a high power in
imagination, enabling him to took along xtended
lines of possible action, ami put tlieso de:ails ol
their right places. He requires a grt at knowledge
of character, with that exquisite tact which feels
unerringly the right moment when to act. A dis
creet rapidity must pervade all the movements of
his thought and action. He must be siugularly
free from vanity, and is generally found to be dn
enthusiast who has the art to conceal his enthusi
asm.— Ex.
Man’s Inevitable Destiny. —So have I seen tiie
rose newly springing from the clefts of its hood,
and at first it was fair as the morning, and full with
the dew of heaven, as a lamb’s fleece; but when a
ruder breath had forced open its virgin modesty,
and dismantled its too youthful and unripe retire
ments, it began to put on darkness, ami to decline
to softness and tiie symptoms of a sickly age: it
bowed tiie head and broke its stalk; and at night,
having lost some of its leaves, and all its beau
ty, it fell into the portion of weeds and out worn
faces. The same is the portion of every man and
every woman; tiie heritage of worms and ser
pents, rottenness and cold dishonor, and our beau
ty so changed that our acquaintances even know
us not; aud(that change mingled with so much
horror, or else meets so with our tears and week
discoursings. that they who, six hours ago, tended
upon us either with charitable or ambit ous ser
vices, cannot, without some regret, stay in the
room alone, where tiie body lies stripped of its life
and honor. —Jeremy Taylor.
Bad Liquor. —We need not go so far ns Califor
nia to find liquor which creates delirium tremens
and suicide, hut the following shows that the “li
quor” whicli is imbided in the Golden Stale must
be pretty rough:
The police lately seized a quantity of liquor kept
for sale at several drinking saloons. Tiie brandy
was colored with burnt sugar, and contained one
sixteenth of a grain of sulphate ct morphine to
every ounce of liquor. The gm was composed of
forty-seven parts of spirits and fifty-three of water,
with a dash ol sulphuric acid. The whiskey con
tained strychnine and creosote. The pale brandy
contained, among other puisnes, prussic acid.
Hints to Married Men. —Peppergrass says that !
if he stays out late at night, and wishes to avoid a
scolding or curtain lecture from Mrs. P., he general
ly waits out till the “we sma’ hours ayont the
twal,” when the anger ot his better half subsides
into fears for his safety. He goes out “on busi
ness,” with a promise to be home at nine. Half
past nine, Mrs. P. uneasy ; ten, aggravated ; half
past ten, positively enraged, and rehearses to hers
Self an address for Peppergrass’s especial edifica
tion, filled with cutting reproaches ; eleven, vague
uneasiness, accompanied by an indefinite fear that
“something must have happened;” half past 11

withering glances; twelve o’clock, unendurable
suspense. If she only knew tiie worst; 1 o’clock,

have happened to him.”— Aug. Despatch.
Late Men —There is a class of people who are
always late. They are inevitably late at the cars,
and they invariably have to jump for it,when they
ace going on a steamboat plank. Everything with
these people is put off until the last moment, and
then if the plank is removed, they stand a capital
chance of jumping overnoard, in attempting to leap
upon deck after the paddle wheels have commen
ced revolving. If the boat started an hour later
it would be all the same to them, ‘for they wouid
just as certainly he behind time, and come down
a little too late to take things cool and comforta
ble. These people have to stir their stumps or
be left behind,when they have s eamboats or rail
road cars to deal with—but they are the bane of
punctual persons with whom they have dealings,
and who have no resource but in the way of tap
ping upon a big be 1 or blowing a steam whistle,
to hurry up the delinquent, eleventh hour man.—
One procrastinating man will derange thebest laid
plans of hundreds by failing to come up to time;
and waste hours for others in his disregard tor
minutes.
Good Test—Newspaper subscriptions are in-*
fa'lihle indications of man's moral honesty. They
will sooner or later discover Ihe man. If he be
dishonest, he will cheat tiie printer in some way ;
say he has paid when he has not; declaro he has
a receipt somewhere; or sent the money and it was
lost in ‘he mail, or will take tiie paper for years
without pa ing, and then move off, and lehve it
coming to the office he left. Thousands of pro
fessed Christians are dishonest; and the printer’s
hook will tell fearful tales in tiie final judgment.—

Too Good to be. Lost. —The following go'd one
from the Memphis Bulletin is too good lo be
lost :
Vingt Un.— We have a friend — or, with the em
phasis of the inimitable Toodles, we had a friend,
who, for tiie n nee, we shall call “the Maj.” though
his right to the profit is somewhat questionable.—
Now, the Major has had, through life one besetting
sin, and that is an unconquerable love of a certain
game of cards known as Vingt Un, which is the
French for twenty one. This well known game, a
fat wife and large family are about the only weak
nesses that can be laid to the Major's charge. How
often he lias been married the record sayeth not,
nor is it important. Suffice it that during over
thirty odd years of the Major’s wedded life, as his
wealth increased and his hairs became grav, one
after another, in regular succession, hisboard was
honored with the presence of miniature additions
of himself, until the number had reached twenty,
when the Major concluded things had gone far
enough and should be stopped. But they didn’t,
as the Major in due time found out. for he had cal
culated without consulting his wife. There were
indications of another bond of union and well spring
of happiness. The Major became nervous, for bis
nomenclature was exhausted. In his desperation,
he finally declared that the coming heir to his name
and fortunes, whether boy or girl, should be named
Vingt un.
Iu vain the old woman remonstrated. The Ma
jor was inexorable. The new comer, being the
wenty-first, should wag his way through life with
hat appropriate title. In the ante-room the Major
w aitetl the announcement of the little stranger’s
sex. The nurse appeared, and to |the Major’s hor
>ror, whispered the terrible word— twins! “Busted,
by thunder!” yelled the Major, ‘why did’nt I stand
on twenty ?”

up the whole ot his soup, by drawing it into her

About Lager Beer. —Tno Decision of tiie Brook*
lyn judge and jury that lager beer, except when
taken in very unusual and almost impossible quan
tities, is a harmless beverage and not intoxicating,
is a verdict quite germane lo the German way of
thinking and drinking. The fact is “lager” is a
mild tonic, Teutonic, but not too tonic tipple, which
ought not to be discourag-d. It is easily enough
swalioWed by the people, but no government can
“put it down.” Tiie Germans have a song about
b-er which has a fine patriotic moral. The idea
ol the song is this —that a glass of “lager” repre
sents the State. Tqe froth on the top is the aris
tocracy ; the dregs at the bottom are the low and
vicious ; while the clear, bright, wholesome fluid
which lies between, represents the middling classes
—the real, substantial, useful, virtuous democracy.
Patridge. in the novel of Tom Jones, thought well
of punch as a Christian beverage, “because it was
a drink nowhere spoken against in the Scriptures.”
The same may be said ot lager beer; and we ac
cordingly commend it to all sensible people who
are at once bibulous and biblical. Waiter, a glass
of lager.” —Boston Post.
The Beauty of a Blush —Goethe was in com

being reproved for tome fault, blushed and burst
into tears. He said: “How beautiful your re
proach has made your daughter! The crimson
iiue and these silvery tears become her better than
any ornament ot gold and pearls. They maybe
hung on the neck ofa wanton, but tiiese are never
seen di-connected with moral puiity. A full blown
rose, besprinkled with the purest dew, is not so
beautifu as this child blushing beneath her moth
er’s displeasure and shedding tears of sorrow. A
blush is the sign, which nature hangs out, to shoyr
where chastity and honor dwell.”
Voltaire. —Nearly a hundred years ago Voltaire
resided at Geneva. One day he said to some

impious words were spokeq, what think you there
is to day ? A large deposit of Bibles ! The sacred
books fill the house from tiie floor to the ceiling !

ney was taken up and counted by the landlord, who
said, “Why this is twice as much as you owe!”
