THE CHARGE OF MAY.
A LEGEND OF MEXICO.
BY GEORGE LIppARD.

There was day when all old man with
national mansion, hsspare but muscular
figure rested on an armchair, his hands
clasped, and his deep blue eyes gazing
through 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 marked lines, and thin lips. fxedly COM
pressed, all announced a long and stormy
life. All the marks of an iron will were
written upon his face.
His name, need not tell you, was An
drew Jackson, and he sat alone in the
. White House.
A visitor entered without being announ-
ced, and stood before the President, in the
form of boy of nineteen, clad in q 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 surveying at rapid glance, the mus
enlar beauty of his figure, the board chest,
!, the sinewy arms, the head placed proudly
rspn the firm shoulders. lses
Ut se.Y our business?" said the old man, in
his short, abrupt way.
!, There is a Lleutenancy vacant in the
Dragoons. Will you give it to me?"
err And dashing back the dark hair which
fell over his face, the boy, as if frightened
At his boldness, bowed low before the
: President.
ssfs The old man could not restrain that
smile 1t wreathed his firm lip, and shone
from his clear eyes.
a4af'. Yeu. enter my chamber unannounced,
q covered from head to foot with mud-yon
tell me that Lieutenancy is vacant, and
ask me to give tito you. Who are your
"Charles May!" 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.

league will soon follow him. Like the big
steamboats, rushing down the Mississippi,
and there is a cry "man overheard" the
wheels are never stopped, and nobody
looks back to see what has become Of the
unfortunate passenger! And before many
years the enterprising settlers of Michi-
gan, from Germany, Ireland and Con-
necticut, will be raking the venerable bones
of the Senator from the ashes to make
handles for knives to cut the throats of
Southern slaveholders!"
Being interrupted by Senator Hunter,
with request to yield the floor for mo-
ment, to enable him to have bill referred,
Mr.. Thompson declined; but hesitating,
as if repenting of his apparent lack of
courtesy to the Virginia Senator, he pro-
eeeded to say that sit was rather cruel to
refuse the Old Dominion any small favor,
as her days of power and influence were
rapidly waning. Never again would she
wear the purple. The scepter had de-
parted from her, and was now held by the
Hoosiers, Suckers, Buckeyes, and other
outside barbarians. Virginians mast
hereafter be content with clerkships and
subordinate posts in the Government"
But we have given enough to illustrate
the character of the peculiar humor of the
Kentucky Senator, and must conclude our
article by bearing testimony to the genial
good temper and general popularity of
this very droll specimen of Conscript
Father. Gin. Enquirer.

of his flying countrymen, and then, light
ed match in hand, springs to the cannon.
A moment and its ire will scatter ten A
merican soldiers in the dust.
Even as the brave Mexican bends near
the cannon, the dark charger, with one tre-
menduous leap, is there, and the sword Of
May is circling over his head.
."Yield!" shouted the voice which only
a few moments ago, when rushing to the
death, said-"come!"
The Mexican beheld the gallant form
before him, and handed Captain May his
sword.
General La Vega is prisoner!" he
said, and stood with folded arms amid the
horses of his manged soldiers.
You see May deliver his prisoner into
the charge of the brave Lieutenant Ste
phens who - when Inge fell-dashed
bravely on.
Then would you look for May once more
gaze through that wall of bayonets, be-
meath gloomy cloud, and whirlpool of the
fight, his long hair, his sweeping beard
and sword that never for an instant stays
its lightning career, making him look like
the embodied demon of this battle day.
In the rear of the battle behold this
picture: When May dashed like a thunder
bolt from his side, Gen. Taylor and Twiggs
have followed with flashing eyes the course
of May; they have seen him charge, and
seen his men and horses hurled back in
their blood, while still he thundered Oh.
At this moment the brave La Vega is led
into the presence of Taylor, his arms fold
ed over his breast, his eyes fixed upon the
ground.
As the noble hearted General expresses
his sorrow that the captive's loss has
fallen on one SO brave, as in obedience to
the command Of Twiggs, the soldiers ar
ranged in battle order, salute the prisoner
with presented arms, there comes rushing
to the scene the form of May, mounted
on his well known charger.
General, you told Inc to silence that
battery. | have done it'll"
He placed in the hands Of Zachary
Taylor the sword of the brave La Vega.

THE KNOCKING AT THE GATE.
BY B. P. sHILLABKR.

Twas the social hour of evening,
And tho rudy fire cleaned bright
On the grateful tea urn glancing,
t,ar With fond and loving light,
When our happy circle gathered
Round about the plenteous board,
And those cheerful words were spoken
That centented hearts afford.
s And the little voices blended
sep With the graver tones of love,
s..ia And the blest domestic picture
-sssT Forecast seemed of bliss above;
Whilst time at the table sitting,
Heart and eye and tongue elate,
"a Came sound of some one rapping-A
s5s g Rapping softly at the gate.
y The hitter wind without was bowling,
Rattiing rude the window blind,
And the frost upon the easement
Many awitchy shape defined;
- Whilst the SHOW in angry whirlings,
Darted by like figures white,
Phantoms seeming, adding terror
vs 3a To the drearines Of the night.
- Margaret then her form presented,
And thus she spoke soft and mild,
Please ye very cold and hungry,
Stands outside little child,
And for bread the poor things asking
F,ts For the ones at home in need;
Shall give her, may it please yer
1t will be a Christian deed
Then our little Mary whispered
Tell me, what did Margaret say?
.sts Tell me of the little beggar,
Tell me all about it, pray
- Then we told her all the story
How seme people wanted bread,
And the fearful, fearful struggle
Where pale famine reared its head.
And she listened when we told her
OF her own far happier state,
Than that of the little beggar,
fs-sse l.ately knocking at the gate
Listened like child, half needing,
To our dismal tale of woe
Silent heard US to the ending,
.s-s Rocking gently to and fro.
sx e Long esat, and we not noting,
Talked again of this and that,
TilIsweet Mary, sadly sobbing,
Walked US from our busy chat,
What's the matter, darling.' asked we
And, with trembling voice she said
d was weeping at the story
OF the child who wanted bread,
Then our hearts were full of gladness,
And our eyes were full of tears
At the words our darling uttered
In this dawning of her years;
Twas the gush of heavenly pity
That another's woe unsealed,
And we gloried in the promise
Its deep sympathy revealed.
