ELLEN,
AN IRISH TALE.
INTRODUCTION.
In ill 16th century, Carrel o‘lh.
/y, a youn.’ Irish gentleman,
was contracted to Ellen, heir*
ess to Kavanagh, one ot the
principal Baron* of the ceun
tiy.
Uy some caprice, ©r the wish for a
higher alliance, the match was
broken off by her friends, and
a day appointed tor her marii
age to another.
On'that day, Carrol, disguised
’ as a Minstrel, or musician, a
, character then always sure of
admittance & honorable treat
ment, particularly on festive
occasions, came to the wed
ding, and introduced a pathe
tic song, the words and music
of which he had composed for
the purpose.
This was the celebrated air of El
len a Boon, or as the Fish
write it, lub hi hi a Ruin, which
stiil retains its reputation as a
master piece of Irish melody.
The lady, hearing the voice, and
recognizing the person of her
lover, felt a revival of that
passion which had never been
entirely extinguished; Sr while
the company were enjoying
their merriment, found means
to elope will) her Cano!.

try where the scene is laid.
E L L E N.
Slow roll’d the mist up Dc*nard’s
height,
A nd sweetly beam’d the morning
ray;
The friends of Kavan w'itli de
light,
Saluted Ellen’s nuptial day.
For Ellen was the loveliest maid
That ’mongst Hiberuia’s daugh
ters smil’d,’
And wide Iter Sue's domains
were spread.
And Ellen was In- only child.
Ajul Donnel was the youth so
blest,
To whom were destin’d Ellen’s
chat ms;
He hail’d with palpitating brsast,
The day that brought her to his
arms.
His voice was sweet, his harp
well strung;
And while still slumbering Ellen
lay,
Thus in the notes of love he
Sung;
44 Arise, my fair, and come away.”
“ The morn is clear; the lively
voice
A 1 Os birds is heard on ev’ry sprav;
“ The vales, the hills, the birds
rejoice;
44 Arise, my lair, and come away.
44 ’Tis Donnel calls tbee—come
niv love,
44 We’ll meet with glee the charm
ing day,
44 We’ll mount the hill—we’ll
trace the grove;
44 Arise my fair, and come away.”
She rose—the trumpet’s thril
ling sound
The festival of Love declar’d:
The voice of mirth was heard
around,
And all the genial banquet shar’d.
There many a maiden heaven
ly bright,
Threw round the captivating
glance,
And joined with many a gallant
kniglu.
In the blythe song and varying
dauce.
Not so, poor Carrol, son of
’ grief!
hi av’d, by fiercest passions
JoTlesi he wander’d for relief;
Joyless be viewed the brilliant
•morn.
For Ellen was his promis'd
Bride,
His only love in early youth,
’Till avarice and unfeeling pride
Had burs* the sacred bonds of
Truth.
“Richer than Carrol’s was the
land
Os Donnel; —nobler was his sire;
Great was his heart and brave
his hand.
Yet Carrol’s virtues mounted
higher.
No form with manly beauty
grac’d,
To generous Carrol’s could com
pare,-
His heart was soft, and honor
trac’d
Its blest, its warmest virtues there.
Yet vain is honor, vain i3 grace,
Where gold and prejudice decide,
Reluctant, Carrol yields his
place
And sadly quits hi* promis’d bride.
Now high the notes of joy re
sound—
Gav is the feast, in Kavan’s hall,
The cup, the song, the laugh
go round,
And sportive mirth embraces all.
The bards now touch their high
ton’d strintJ*,
Love is their tht me —successful
Li IV F.
When 10l a strange r Minstrel
sings;
His strains in oilier accents move.
With charms of plaintive sweet
ness, How
The finely modulated notes —
Each bosom feels a magic glow,
While softly round the music
lloats,
Fair Ellen knew the impassion’d
sou-'d;
’Twas Carrol—well she knew the
*'g'b
When (while the festive bowl
went round)
Ilis look said, “ Ellen thou art
mine.”
She felt—she thought on former
days,
ForCarroi ‘ill her heart possess’d;
Again she felt that passion blaze
W hich long lay smother'd in her
breast.
And while the guests, inspir’d
with wine,
Gay spent tiie unnotic’d midnight
hour—
-44 My friend,” she cried, 44 I
still am thine,
44 Oh! constant love, 1 own thy
power.”
She spoke, and unperceiv’d
withdrew,
Her Minstrel follow’d her full
soon;
.And ere the sun had kiss’d the
dew,
Cakrol and Fllen both were
one.
ANACREONTIC.
Here, boy, the rosy wine prepare,
To toast the faire-t of the fair;
With wreathes of ivy crown my
brows,
And let me near the stream ca
rouse !
Place by my side tire tremblin'?
lyre—
I’ll swell to softest strains the
wire;
Like Ennias blest mv verse I roll,
When wine with transport fires
my soul.
THE MAN OF HONOR.
A curious Neapolitan Anecdote.
At Naples there was a par.
ticular man of honor, whose
name was Bandoli; he was
the molt de.'peratc bravo of
his time and it was laid that he
had with his own hand did.
patched upwards ofeighty per
sons by affaffi nation, for that
< was the profeilion he got his
bread by.—He made ule ©c
cafionany of ptflol, sword
poign-ard, and fliletto, but he
fcottred to poison any one he
was hired to make way with,
alledging that there was fame
thing unmanly in it. That it
was not an afclion any pet son
Ihould be guilty of, and that it
was as much beneath a bravo
to turn poifoncr, as it would
be fora regular bred physici
an to commence quack doc
tor.
Two Neapolitan gentlemen
quarrelled one evening at an
afL-mbly, and according to the
honorable custom of the times
each sent separately lor Ban
doli, and gave him fifty pif
toles a piece to make quick
work with each other.—The
lad man he dilpatched as loon
as he had paid him, and then
returned to the firft perton
who on hearing Baridoii relate
how he had slaughtered his
adversary, commended the
bravo greatly for his dexterity
in his business.—-
44 Yes, Sir, replied Bando.
li, every one who employs ine
{hall always find me punQual,
for lama man of honor, Sir,
and to convince you that I
would not forfeit it, the gen.
tieman whom I have just lent
home by your own order,
gave me fifty pillules to make
an end of you ; now al
though he is dead, and cannot
call me to an account for not
doitig what he employed me in,
yet I am I’o much a man of
honor, that I scorn to he guil
ty of a breach of protnife to
any gentleman he then
thrufl his fliletto deep into the
other’s bread.
——
A well known person of an
odd turn of humor, riding on
horse back, happened to meet
another equal to himfejf, in a
lane so narrow that neither
could pals without one giving
way, which neither would do.
Both made a halt, and not a
finglc word was spoken, ’till
the fir ft mentioned deliberately
pulled a newspaper out of his
pocket and began reading it to
himfelf, with the utmuft com’
pofure, when the other, deter
mined to prove an equal de
gree of patience and obflinacy,
leilurely took a pinch of fnuff,
and very gravely accolted him,
44 Sir, when you have done
with that paper, I (hall be glad
to look at it,” which so pleated
the humorilt, that he immedi
ately pulled off his fpefctacles,
and seized him by the hand,
declaring at the fame time, that
“ he should go home, Sc dine
with him.
In a fele£l company in En
gland, au.ong whom was the
late Dr. Johnson, the fubjefcl
of equality and rank was dis
cussed. A lady observed that
there was as great a difference
between the common people
and those of rank, as between
crockery and China ware. The
footman, (who had taken his
station behind her chair) being
ordered to call the nurse to
bringdown the youngelt child,
and being greatly taken up
with theconverfation, inflantly
roared out at the bottom of the
flairs Crockery ! bring down
young China !” which threw
the company into an immode
rate fit of laughter.—The foot
man wasfhoitly afterwardsdil
chargcd.
It is an observation of Machia

it is governed.
