On Monday, the 98th ult. Mr.. DARBY
Daniel Mclean, of this town, pensioner,
TO Miss .hargaretta S. .Mackenna, Of Rath-
fryland. The bride was to have been mar
ried Oh the same day to another lover, one
James Locke, and had arrived at an appoint
ed time and place in Newry, where the ce
remony was to have. been performed. The
favored swain, however, did not appear,
and the lady'S hOstt IS in Bridge street CON-
municaied to her the slamentable tidings,
thathe had already married, and had gone,
She believed, to. visit his wife, then pri-
soner in Armagh. Margaret wept, sighed
deeply. and exclaimed, "never will | re-
turn to Rathfryland unmarried; if !, do not
get husband, | will drown myself, and this
shpll be the last day of poor Margaretta
M'Kenna!'' 20, (said the hostess lwish

you SO sad, Darby p quo,h Margaretta.-
Ny love has Tilted and deserted'me," re-
piei Darby with sigh. 6 So has mine, !"
rejUined Maryare,ta with a sob. " cam
not, wilfnot survive it," lucth Darby. Il
will either be drowned or be married to-
day" murmured Margaretta. The voice
was in unison with Darby's feelings; he
looked wistfully on the dark, langulshing,
yet sparkling eyes of the love-orn maid,
and sympathised in her sorrows. Sympa
thy segets love, and love is gentleman ush-
er to Hymen. The parties therefore deter
mined not 10 drown. but marry. Marga-
retta, with her intended bridegroom, re-
turned in triumph TO her kind and sagacious
hostess Preparations were made for the
wedding and the bride insisted on paying

But Darby would not concede this point.

and If you buy me you might sell ME but

ENVY AND pErR.cTIoN.

The great law of mutual benevolence, is
perhaps oflener violated by envy than by
interest. Interest can difuse itself but TO a
narrow compass. Interest is seldom pur-
sued but al some hazard !; hut to spread sus-
picion, TO invent calumnies, to propagate
scandal, requires neither talents, nor labor,
nor courage.
Take heed you harbor not that vice CALI
ed envy, lest aaother's happiness be your
torment, and Gods blessing become your
curse.
Never employ yourself TO discern the
faults of Others, but be careful to mind aud
prevent your own.

LINES,
Written By young gentleman of Vrsinia.
Tune" Oh no, my love, no."
While my heart feels emotions new, thrill
ing and holy,
That you, lovely fair one, alone could ex-
cite,
Ny pen that but late was obedient to folly,
While il writes Of your beauties yet rem'
bles to write:
For sure while my heart feels the wild
throbbing stranger, :.
My pen must partake of its tremulous glow;
Yet think you my spirit suspects any dan
gers (no
From beauty so heavenly ?-0h no, my love,
Yet, oh! while the gay worlds attractions
impel you,
Where many will court you, and swear they
are true,
Forgive the warm pulse which compels me
to tell you
Ny life and its hopes are devoted to you -
Tho deaths icy touch must CONCEAL my
hearts bleeding,
If e'er on another your hand you bestow,
Yet think you my spirit, while life is rece-
ding,
Shall e'er cease to bless you oh no, my
love, no!
