Nature gives Us grandeur Of mountains, glens

when there Is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory

"Sitn and "Sat.n

Many of the agricultural jour
mails are sorely troubled to know
whether a hen sits or sets. If
some editor of dignity would set
a hen on a nest, and the little ed
itors would let her set it would
be we'll enough for the world.
Now a man, or a woman either,
can set a hen, although they can
not sit her; neither can they set
on her, although the old hen
might sit on them by the hour
if they would allow it. A man
man cannot set on a washbench;
but he could set a basin on it,
and neither the basin nor tho
grammarians would object. He
could sit on u dogs tail if the
dog was willing; or he might set
his foot on it. But if he should
set his foot on the aforesaid tail,
or sit his foot there, the gramma-
rians as well as the dog would
howl. And yet, strange as it
may seem, the man might set the
tail aside and then set down,
and neither be assailed by the
dog or the grammarians.
