THE CHARGE OF MAY.
A LEGEND OF MEXICO.
BIT GEORGE LIPPARD.

There was day when an old man with
white hair sat alone in a small chamber OF
a national mansion, his spare but muscular
figure resting on an armchair, his hands
clasped, and his deep blue eyes gazing thro'
the Winter sky. The brow of the old man
furrowed with wrinkles, his hair rising in
straight masses, white as the driven snow,
his sunken cheeks traversed by markedlines,
and thin lips, fxedly compressed, all an
nounced a long and stormy life. All the
marks of an iron will we're written upon his
face.
His name [ need not tell you was Andrew
House.
A visitor entered without being announc-
ed, and stood before the President in the
form Of boy of nineteen, clad in coarse
round Jacket and trousers, and covered from
head to foot with mud AS he stood before
the President, cap in hand, the dark hair
falling in damp clusters about his white
forehead the old man could not help survey
ing at rapid glance, the muscular beauty
of his figure, the broad chest, the sinewy
arms, the head placed proudly on the firm
shoulders.
ssYour business?" said the old man, in
his abrupt way.
ssThere is Lieutenancy vacant in the
Dragons. Will you give it to me p
And dashing back the dark hair. which
fell over his face, the boy, as if frightened
at his holiness, bowed low before the Pre-
sident
The old man could not restrain that smile.
Itwrcathed from his firm lip, and shone from
his clear eyes.
'.You enter my chamber unannounced,
covered from head to foot with mud-you tell
me that lieutenancy is vacant, and ask
me to give it to you. Who are you?'t
3Charles Mayp' The boy did not bow
this time, but with his right hand on his
hip, stood like wild young Indian, erect,
in the presence of the President.
ssWhat claims have you to commission?
Again the Hero surveyed him, and again he
family smiled.
''Such as you see" exclaimed the boy,
as his dark eyes shone with that daredevil
light, while his form swelle1 in every mus
Gle, as with the conscious pride of his man
ly strength and beauty. ''Would you
uc UcHI Ndiu, oWeePlIlS doiuc HlS oeiIis
once more, while smile began to break
over his lips" Would you like to see me
ride? My horse is at the door. You see
I came post haste for this commission %
Silently the old man followed the boy,
and together they went forth from the White
House. It was a clear, cold Winters day:
the wind tossed the Presidents white hairs.
and the leafess trees stood boldly out against
the blue sky. Before the portals of the
White House, with the reins thrown loose
ly on his neck stood magnificent horse,
his dark hide smoking foam. He uttered q
shriH neigh as his boy master sprang with a
bound into the saddle, and in a flash was
gone, skimming like a swallow down the
road, his name and tail streaming in the
breeze.
The old man looked after them, the horse
and his rider, and knew not which to ad-
mire most, the athletic beauty of the boy
or the tempestuous vigor of the horse.
Thrice they threaded the avenues in from

6. If you are an overseer, and young
one at that, look sour at your negroes the
first day and kick up general row the Sc
cond. Africans are nothing but brutes,
and they will love you the better for whip
ping, whether they deserve it or not. Be-
sides, by this manly course you will show
your spunk. To be sure, half dozen may
take to the woods. but this is no loss to you.
7. Be sure to make your Office sinecurc.
Congressman, Judges, and civil officers gen.
orally, do SO, and why may not overseers?
To this end, ride once in the forenoon to
where you can see your hands, and then
gallop off to some store, blacksmith's shop,
or wherever you can find crowd to listen
to your interesting conversation. This is
the only way ''to magnify your Office"
N. B.-Whatever else you may neglect.
never forget to put yourself in the posses
size case in regard to your employers pro-
perty-say ''my negroes, my mules, my
cotton" &c. Your employer is lazy
skunk, and has no right to any thing.
8. Swear like ''our army in Flanders. "
yourself: but whip every negro on the PLAN
tation who dares to use profane language
the ebony scamps, what right have they to
initiate their overseer?
g. If your horse becomes lame, or from
any other cause cannot carry you, as in No.
Z, seek some 'boundless contiguity of
shade," where you can enjoy comfortable
snooze--nothing like 'sotiuns cum dagnatote. !"
10. If your employer desires you to plant
his corn in a manner different from that
which you think best, be sure to spoil every
thing in its cultivation. You will then
prove to him that has plans are wrong, and
yours ght. CLoD THUMPER.
