‘jfXoiiv. <iWiM>S£* • *• <’ of Ajiollo. ifi 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!. Sheu Bernard , or the Mountain of Bernard, is a renMrkaole ,c ----minonce in that partot the coun 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 vel’s, that the more democratic any state is, by the fewer person* it is governed. notification, TO’Tan COLLECTOR S.
