Excerpt
Excerpt: LET us suppose, as that charming story-teller, Annie Keary, used to begin, let us sup pose that these young people have never read Washington Irving, or never read him except in school-book exercises. There they may have had a page or two out of Rip Van Winkle; perhaps the ludicrous description of Ichabod Crane, his school and his horse; possibly a mutilated chapter from the Alhambra just enough to give a taste, yet just enough to spoil the subject.
