Introductory Notice. The poem, now offered to the public, is founded upon adiftrefling cirrumftanct which occurred in Ire iaftd in the year iSoS. It is related in a Dublin paper of the 31ft December, and the lan guage of the editor being that of truth and unaft £led fcelirg, the author has not found ©ccaft mate rially to alter it. A gentleman, the youngeft fonof a benifked clergyman of high rei pflability, paid his addreiLs to a young lady of faintly and fortune reft ting m the fame neighborhood. Her uncle (under whole guardian ihip fhe was unhappily placed) had determined to unite her to wealth and rank, and chofe rather to fee her fplcndidiy miferablc than made happy with a genteel competency. The lady’s fuuor was a ph\ fu iar, who feme time previous had taken the uluai degree, with the moft pro m fi *g hopes o( fuccel* in hii pro fcfli n j his education polite and clafTical, added to an amiable dif petition and the m ft acccmpbihcd manners, could net fail of makn g an impirili>m on the young ladv his conduct towards hot teft ii*d hss regard ; and in a ihort time lie was btLvcd with ardor. Innumerable were the obftacles i&i.vo by the u clc in orcck 3 to prevent their union j he remofift rated r<r. the impropriety of placirg her afFedk/ns on a p*r fon not p< ftcrfl and of cn<r fa ll g, and who tcuid no expc&a ions, either now or hereafter of any pa ter r al fortune ; and in hopes of ali taating her regard for her lover, he introduced into the family a ro j r in the army, and ar the fame me informed her fhe was to cos.fider him as her future Terms that be did net p IT (s any of thole nice feelings of honor and l*n ftoili'cy which fliould ever be cha raderifticj of a folditr*—he was told cf her predihdlton for ar.other, which rculT ever prevent his pre vailing upon a hr art io completely devoted to Mr. * * * * who was then in Brita*n and his arrival daily cxpfEUd. This candid appeal had no tffed; as he had the uncle’* conlent, he cor fidered there was no other obftaclc remaining;. In vain did this amiable young lacir, bathed in tears, er.deavor to dif fuadc her uncle frcoi hi* cruel pur pofe. The weddirg day was ap po’nted, the clr gvrran arrived, and wirlv ftient ft IF rug compofure, fhe allowed the fa'ftl cercmr.n tc be performed. The untie, however, was foun convinced ©f h s mhurnan it —fhe had previf ufl aken in presence of her own maul, a cup of tea, m xed as ir afrprwards appear ed, with a conftderablt quantity of arltafc. She faid it was the nr -ft delu iuu? draught fhe had ever tail ed. Towards me ciofe cf the evea irg fhe became much lndifpofied, and in a few hours after, breathed her laft. On her drafting table was left a ftu>rt note, addreftfed to her guardian upon which the following verfes are founded. Maria wai in her 20th year: to the beauty of her form, ar.d the excellence of her na tural difpofttion, a patent equally indulgent and attentive (who died two years Gnce) had done the lull eft: juflicc. To accomplifh her manners and cultivate her mind, every endeavor had been ufed, and tr.ey had been attended with fuccefs. Few youi g ladies ever attracted more admiration 5 none ever tele it let*. She died when every tongue was eloquent of htr virtues, when every hope was ripening to reward them. Ii is needlefs to tell how ie vtrely the old gentleman now ac~ cufes hss own week conduft • nor can he ever foig.ve himielf the wanton fatr fiic o 1 youih, ianucfnce and virtue, to unavailing wtalth and faftunnabie folly. Thifc i refents a very fmill view of the *f\ l dbon occafioned : but it mav teach parent* whom heaven has bleffcd with children, rather to make them happy than great, nor violate thofe feelings which they have enly a right to guide. “ Poor filicide, He who thy being gave, ft all judge cf tbee atone,” Campbell. tc Mortem or at, tadet cceli convexa tueri Virg. ‘7 is o'er,—and e'er thefe letters you behold, This fuife will ceefe, this aching heart be cold i 7 et life's expiring tjforts I be flow On you, the origin of all my uo, Act to upbraid you, but io leave behind The Jad txprejfton of an anguifued mind To live, in mournful record, o'er my tbtnb, Of crojfed affection spower,its victim's haplejs doom.
