WASHINGTON IRVING'S ICHABOD CRANE.—How,
in his devouring mind's eye, he pictured to himself
every roasting pig running about with a pudding in its
belly and an apple in its mouth ; the pigeon snugly put to
bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of
crust; the geese swimming in their own gravy; the ducks
pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples, with a
decent competency of onion sauce. How in the porkers he
has carved out the future sleek side of bacon ; not a turkey
but he beheld daintily trussed up, with its gizzard under its
wing, and, peradventure, a necklace of savoury sausages ;
and even bright chanticleer himself sprawling on his back,
in a side dish, with uplifted claws, as if craving that quar-
ter which his chivalrous spirit disdained to ask while liv-
.l?evinver in the 'Spectator,

Mr. Selfe—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witness any
question ?
Prisoner—None. I told them I was the man. I never
denied it. It was a happy day for me when the Lord
Almighty directed my path to the part of the country where
I was taken. I have found my Saviour there, and let what-
ever punishment be put upon me, I am sure I shall be able
to bear it. I have already been unjustly punished, but I
hope I have found friends that will prove my innocence.
I was convicted wrongfully, and am suffering for my
own brother. in-law, who was truly the guilty party, not
me. lam sure that for some time after my escape, no man
could have had a more miserable life.

Mr. Selfe having had the depositions taken in due form,
committed prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial•
