Ichabod Inches was exrravagantly fond of
bathing. Nearly every day, in the summer
time, he used logo down to the pond, back
of Deacon .lohnson’s barn, deposit his
clothes in the bushes,and plunge like a duck
into the \V'ater., ,
The pond was a line bath—-s‘o ‘clear and
brilliant, when the sun shone, that every
pebble that gliltc-red on the hard bottom,
was distinctly visible; and even when I.ch‘-
abod ‘dove down in the deepest places, you
could see him kicking and sprawling among
the frightened fishes, like a great white mg
or a regular,merman. _ _ _
Ichabod chose the shadowy part of the
pond, behind Deacon .lohnsou’s burn, from
Considerations which every modest person
will commend. The deacon had some very
gay and enterprising girls, who delighted in
rambling about the farm, sometimes extend-
ing their excursions to thepond, and, there
being no such thing as hiding in the trans-
parent water, Ichabod found the burn a con-
venient-relreat, on occasions of surprisc.-
He could always hear the girls coming in
season to catch up his clolIres,_:t'el.i‘eal. to the
barn, and dress himself, viithout giving
them a suspicibn ofhis presence.
One day, however, Ichabod was sadly
discorrifilted. ‘This is the way of it
It was in the afternoon. There was a
soft, warm air, and a cloudless sky. Icha-
bod had enjoyed a deligl‘uful bath-, and, in
the shadow of the ‘bushes where his clothes
were concealeil, he was on the_ point of
slipping his under garment over his Iiead,
when he was startled by a most terrific
growl.
Ichabod.was nervous. At a bound be
plunged into a blackberry bush, and looked
around for the bear, pairtlier, or whatever
the animal might be, that growled so horri-
bly. ‘Vet as Ichabod’s hair was, it stood
up all over his head. He was paralyzed
with fear. _
Another growl, however, started Ichabod
out oftlie briers. He had never heard any
thing so liorrifyiiig before. He caught a
‘.’.bmpse of a huge, bristling monster, with
glaring eyes, on the other side of the bushes,
and—fled.
Unfortunately, Ichabod w

after him with great trepidation, and clubir
lo a be-.-rm, to keep from falling. He
trembled as he had never trembled before,
and his legs seemed crumbling away be-
neath hi:
Finding himself safely in the barn. how-
ever, with the nronster on the outside, Icha-
bod presenlly began to recover from his
fright. Still hearing a series of unearthly
growls, he ventured to look through a crack
in the door, to get a sight at the monster.
‘It was not a bear. It was not a panther.
It was only a dog—Deacon .lolruson’s dog,
too, the most peaceahle of all dogs. Besides,
Ichabod and Tovrser ’ had always been
friends. But lcliabod had never before
seen him bristle up so, or hrard him utter‘
such growls. ’ He was as large as two dogs.
‘ He is mad,’ thought Ichabod.
Then Ichabod began to think of his
cl‘olhcs He dared not go for them, never
reflecting that 'I'ovrser‘s unaccountable in-
sanity was all owing to sheer fright -
Nothing, indeed, terrifies a dog so much as
he sight of a human being in a state of nu-
dity. Icliabod could not liatve got within a
rod of Towser, had he tried. 'I'owser’s
growl was a growl of terror, and he follow-
ed his old frieud through the strange fasci-
nation of fear. And now he began to yelp
and bark before the barn door in a most
wild and alarming manner, for poor Ich I
After suffci'ing much agony, in his re-
treat, Ichabod, anxious to recover his
cIollies,resolve.d to presume upon his former
intimacy with Touser, to coax him out of
his insanity. Accordingly, after considera-
bie pi'eIiiiriiiary whistling and flattery,
through acrack, Ichabod cautiously opened
the door. .
Towser, recognising the voice, bad for a
inonieirt appeared ‘easier ; but the instant he
saw the terrible sight of a naked man, his
bristles went up again, and he yelled lrorri-
bly. lchabod shut the door, as if be had
been met by a troop of wolves!
Our her0"s situation was, you may say,
without conlradiction—anything but pleas-
ant. In vain did he bag and eulreat
Towser to know hiui and come out of his
madness.

‘ H, Lori O, Lor! it’

shouted, as three robust girls approached
the door-——‘ don’t come I for heaven's sake—-
He flew about the barn like a chicken
after its neck is wrong. There was no Wily
of fastening the door. , To ho‘.d it was out
of the question—-the girls would look thro’
the crack! So Ichabod got behind a lad-
der—-hut he saw that wouIdri”t do. His
eye fell on a bundle of straw,and he wished
Iiirnself a mouse that he might crawl into it.
, The girls came nearer and nearer. Hav-
ing pacified the dog, they boldly determined
to ascertain the cause of his terror.
‘ Don’! conié‘—I’m naked; for heaven."s

The girls looked evéryvvbere—up the lad-

stood in the corner, and finally concluded
the robber, or whn‘ev’er the mysterious indi-
vidual was, must be in the fanning-inill !
‘ Turn it, Molly !’ said Jane.
Molly turned it, but as she did not find
out anybody, the girls ch-auged their minds,
and felt certain the mysterious individual
must be in the large -apple-barrel which
stood in the corner.
The barrel was covered with straw. Jane
pointed at it rirysieriously. Molly turned
pale. She was sure she saw the straw move,‘
and the-dog was beginning to snuff and
growl at it, as if convinced there was some-
thing wrong. Silently Jane S(;‘iZl.*('Iy the
pitcbfork. Lizzie brandish‘ed a sickle.—
One took her station on one side of the bar-
ieI,and the ‘oth'er'o‘n the other side. Torv-
ser was before it, gr'owl'ing frighifully. Mol-
ly approached it from behind, and, at a sig-
nal from J-.iuc-—ii_7ipc.'l it over -and spill out

He came out like a spring-snake out of a

rcapiiig the left; with her sickle, l\'Iol.I.y

They had recognized Ichabod I
‘ Don’t look at me! '0, Lori the dogs

-—(I0tr’l look 1.’ _ ‘
And wbrbe the girls set up a chorus of
wild-, ringing laughter‘, he drew back into the
barrel, like a turtle into its shell!
Amid the stilloil growling of 'I"owser-, and
the giggling ‘of the ‘girls, Icl‘iabo<'l, who had
hastily fortified his retreat with what straw he
could grasp by rear-lii‘ng out his nal-zed arm.~:,
told his story, and emrentetl the girls to bring
him his clothes, and -call away the dog.
This they obligirigly did ; and lraving with-.
drawn, to give Ichabod time to dross, he got
out of the barrel and into his clotlu-s in
double quick time. He thinks he never oc-
cupied so little time in dressing, before or
since.
Ichabod then, with feelings which can be
‘nrore easily imagined than described,’ ap-
p'eurcd-, white and ghastly, before the girls
who laughed, and before 'l‘o\vser, u ho snub":-
