JEMMY DAWSON.

SHENSTONEN pathetic and affecting ballad of
JEMMY DAWSON has drawn tears from every per.
son of sensibility, or possessing the feelings of
huManity ; and it will continue to•be admired as
lone gs the English language shall exist. • This
which is founded in truth, was taken
from a narrative first published in the Parrot' of
the 2d of August, 1746, three days after the
transaction it records. It is given in the form of
a letter, and is as follows :

passed on him ; none, excepting those utterly in-
capable of feeling any soft or general)s emotions,
but may easily conceive her agonies; beside,
the said catastrophe will be sufficient to convince
youi N
of theiro;
the sincerity.
,persuasions of her kindred could
prevent her from going to the t~lac~ of execu-
tlon she was determined to see the last of a
person so dear to her, and accordingly followed
the sledges in a hackney coach, accompanied by
a gentleman nearly related to her,and one female
friend. She got near enough to see the fire
kindled which was to consl' that heart she
knew was so much devotedug toe her, and all the
other dreadful preparations for his fate, without
betraying any of those emotions her friends ap..
prehentled ; but when all was over, and that she
"found he was no more, she threw her head back
into the conch, and ejaculating, " My dear, I
follow thee ! I follow thee! Lord Jesus! receive
both our souls together," fell on the neck of her
companion, and expired the very moment she had
done speaking.
"- That excessive grief which the force of her
resolution had kept smothered within her breast,
is thought to have put a stop to the vital motion,
and suffocated at once all the animal spirits."
In the Whitehall Evening Post, August 7th,
this narrative is copied with thu remark, that
" upon inquiry every circumstance was literally

rue."
A ballad was cried about tl►e streets at the
founded us; this melancholy narrative, but
t can scarcely be said to have aided Shenstone
In his beautiful production.

SPANIAII 111(311 SpratTo—Don Sabiniano, a
Spaniard, being a prisoner in a dungeon at his.
bon, soon after the revolt of the Dnke of Bra.
gams, afterwards King. John of Portugal, was
told by the corregidor that the King was passing
by, and that it would be a proper occasion to
petition for release ; instead of which, he shut
his window in the King's face. For this affront
his window was bricked up, and all access of
tight debarred.
