made happy, and like one suddenly

Do I sleep ? Do I dream ?
Do I wonder, and doubt?
Are things what they seem;
Or, is visions about ?

A REPORTER ON THE RAMPAGE
What he Sees and How he Se33 Them,
Practical Hir.ta.
Hens can be very perverse some¬
times. They want to “set” when
you want them to sit, and they wil]
sit when you want them to “set.”
We noticed a hen proudly peram¬
bulating the streets with a paper
flag attached to her tail unfurled to
the breeze. We thought that it was
a prank ol the little boys, but were
informed that her services were not
required as a “setter,” but that she
was wanted to fill the office of a lay¬
er. We publish this veiy novel and
effectual preventive against setting
for the benefit of the lady readers
of the Advance, who desire to keep
the family supplied with eggs.
