Then to Ichabod, as he wended his
way through th** swamp and stream and
awful woodland to the farmhouse where
he happened to b** quartered, every sound

night fluttered Ids c-xclted imagination.
The moan of whippoorwill from a hill
side. the drowning cry of the treetoad,
that harbinger of th*- drear cry of the
hootowl, or the sudden rustling in the
thicket of birds frightened from their
roost* would make him afraid of strange
unknowable things. Even the fire-flies
which sparkle most vividly from the
darkest places, seemed to Ichabod as
things not of the earth. And if, by
rhanc**. a huge black blockhead of a bee
tl** cam** winging his thundering way
across his path the poor varlet was
r* ady to give up the ghost. If It blund

If one Will only read Cotton Mather's re
markable work they wilJ know that there
aro such things.
CHAPTER IV.
Katrina Van Tassel.
The only resource of Ichabod on such
occasions w*as to drown his fears—or
thoughts, rather—and to drive away tho
evil spirits, was to sing psalm tunes-*
which are mostly good ones upon which
anybody can rely. And while the people
of Sleepy Hollow were In their beds
they, or as they sat by their doors of
evenings, would hear with awe the nasal
melody of Ichabod as his voice "in linked
sweetness, long drawn out," came float
ing from the distant hills, or from the
dusty road.
Another of Icha bod’s sources of fear
ful pleasure was to pass the long winter
evenings with the old Dutch wives, as
they sat spinning by the fir* with a row
of apples roasting and spluttering along
th** hearth, and listen to their marvelous
tales of ghosts and goblins, and haunted
fb Ids and brooks; and haunted bridges;
and haunted houses. And particularly
did he like to hear about the Headless
Horseman, that "Galloping Hessian of
[he Hollow," as they sometimes called
him.
lie would delight his entertainers
equally by his tales of witchcraft in
Connecticut and would frighten them
| wonderfully by Ills speculations upon
shooting stars and the direful portens
I which had appeared In his native state in
!th«* earlier times. Then he would still
further horrify the old dames with his
knowledge of th** fact that the world
actually turned round and that they
were, half of the time, topsy-turvy. Hut
if there was a pleasure in a llthis. while
seated before a glowing fir** snugly rud
dling in a chimney orner with the wood
era* kling in a most reassuring manner
before him. and where, of course, no
spectre dared show his fare—it was an
other matter In the open at night as
i Ichabod wended his solitary way home
| ward.
u list frightful shapes and shadows b»*-
|s. t his path amidst th** ghastly glare of
;a snowy night In winter. With what
wistful looks did he turn hack to tlie
farmhouse from whence he had Just come
with what wistful eyes did he regard
every ray of light that came across his
path from some distant farmhouse win
dow? How often was he appalled by
Home shrub covered with snow which,
like a sheeted ghost, b set his very puth?
How often did Ichabod shrink with
curdling awe at the sound of his foot
steps upon the frostv crust of the snow
beneath bis feet—and dread to look over
bis shoulder lest there he should behold
some uncouth being trampling close be
hind him? And bow often was he thrown
into complete dismay by some rushing
blast, bowling among the trees with a
sound that gave the suggestion of a
galloping horse and Ichabod feared that
the Headless Horseman was at last upon
him.
All these, however, were mere terrors
of the night.—phantoms of the mind that
walk in darkness And. though Ichabod
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
had been more than once in hia life b -
aet Satan In divers shapes in his
lonely perambulations, yet daylight put
an end to all these evils. And the school
master would have paused a pleasant life
despite of the devil and all his works,
and the hobgoblins which seemed to be
set him and were no doubt a part and
parcel of these same works of th edevil,
had it not been for a cause more per
plexing to man than ever ghosts and
hobgoblins and headless horsVmen—that
was a woman.
As has been stated Ichabod was much
inclined ot Katrina Van Tassel, daughter
of that very substantial farmer, Haltus
Van Tassefl. Katrina was one of lcha
hod's scholars who assembled one eve-
Ing a week to receive instructions in
psalmody. Katrina was a blooming lass
of eighteen; fresh and plump as a part
ridge. She was* ripe and melting and as
rosy-cheeked as one of her father’s own
peaches. She was universally famed not
only for her beauty but for her vast ex
pectations.
She was. with all. a bit of coquette,
as might perceived even in her dress,
whihe was a mixture of ancient and mod
ern fashions, such as most suited to set
off her charms. She wore ornaments of
Pure yellow gold which her great-great
grandmother had brought over from
Saardam. She wore also the tempting
stomacher of the olden time; and with
all a provoklngly short petticoat to dis
play the prettiest foot and ankle in the
country round.
Now Ichabod had a soft and foolish
heart towr«rd the sex and it is not to be
wondered at that so tempting a morsel
as Katrina soon found favor in his eyes.
More especially after he had visited her
paternal mansion and saw that land of
peace and plenty which was presided over
by old Haltus Van Tassel. Od! Haltus
was the very picture of thriving content
combined with a liberal heart. It is true
that he seldom sent cither his eyes or
his thoughts beyond the confines of his
own farm. Hut why should he? Within
his own domain where he reigned su
preme everything was snug, and well
conditioned.
Haltus Van Tassel was satisfied with
his weaJth—hut not proud of it. And he
piqued himself upon the hearty abund
ancp rather than upon the banks of the
Hudson in one of the green valleys w hich
run down from the hills to the shore.
Tt was one of those fertile nooks in which
I the Dutch farmers so fond of nest
ing in the days when the world was
younger.
A great elm tree spread Us branches
ove r the substantial farm- house. At the
foot of the tree there bubbled a spring
of the clearest and freshest water, run
ning into a little well made of barrels,
and then the water stole from the well
and ran sparkling away through the grass
to a neighboring brook that bubbled
along among the elders and ashes, and
the (lwnrf willows. Hard by the farm
house was a vast barn that might have
served for a church. Every window and
crevice of this b:*rn seemed to b' burst
ing forth with the treasures it contained.
The flail was busy resounding therein
from morning till night.
Swallows and martins skimmed twit
tering about the eaves, and rows of
pigeon s-- so me with one eye turned up as
if w-atching the weather; some with their
heads under their wings or buried In
their bosoms; and others swelling and
cooing and bowing among their dames,
enjoying the sunshine upon the roofs.
Sleek and unwieldy ponkers were grunt
ing in repose and abundance in their
pens whence sallied forth now and then
little troops of suckling pigs as if to
sniff the air. A stately squadron of
geese was riding in an adjacent pond as
| convoy to a whole fleet of ducks A regi

the farm-yard and guinea fowls fretted
