CHAPTER II.

A year had now passed since May
Herbert's marriage, and yet Louis
Mcringer fingered in the village. lie
always had some PLAUSIBLE excuse
at hand, when May would venture to
mention his promise of opening his
profession. Nay yielded to his argu-

more alarmed for the consequences,
she entirely ceased from mentioning
the subject; and thus, between hopes
and fears, passed the first year Of her
welded life.
But the time at length came when
concealment was no longer possible;

A Washington correspondent has
furnished quite an interesting letter.
IN which he specuates at considerable
length upon this Interestingly question.
Alter, giving some unimportant de-
tails, nc says; First, tho President
receives twenty-five thousand dollars
salary. Next, he Lreceives aihouse,
garden and stables free of expense. -
The house is furnished and tho garden
cultivated by the government. livery
article OF furniture necessary is fur.
nished by the United States. Tho
government also lights and heats the
house. 1t pays or steward m take
care of the public property, and u
iireman,l and for no other domestic
servants. The Executive'ofiice is In
the Executive mansion, and for the
former the government provides pri.
vate secretary, clerks to the secretary,
two messengers, and porter. For
all domestic servants, however, ex.
ccpt steward and fireman. the Presi-
dent must pay out Of his own pocket.
lie must pay for his cooks, his butler.

May Herbert was the pet and pride
of our village. She was graceful,
fairy.like creature, who, without be-
ing strictly handsome, was certainly
the most attractive girl ever met with.
NAYS father had died when she was
mere child, leaving her mother an
income which was barely sufficient to

day, when she went again to the Hall.
