JENNY KELLY.

The following well written story, by the author
of " MYRTLE LEAVES" first inserted in the Euro
pean Magazine, derives an interest from its being
real fact unadorned by felton, The writer of it, it
is stated, relative to the unfortunate female
whose brief history he records
In the town of Newry, in Ireland, lived Jenny
Kelly the subject of this little narrative. At this
distance of time, not any thing material is known of
her parents; it only known that they were honest
and industrious, and that they brought up their
daughters according to their means. Before she at
tanned the age of eighteen years, she became the
object of affection to two suitors This distinction,
which would have been fatterng to the vanity
of most young women of her age, proved to her the
greatest misfortune. She had fine countenance,
an elegant figure, an amiabe disposition, and was of
singulary industrious habits Her voice more
over uncommonly fine, and she carrolled merry
as the lark, and as sweetly as the nightingale. In
short she could not but make any man good wife
and delightful companion.
Poor girl when think of her fate, tear of pity
falls to her memory. Yet Jenny did not become
prev to the eyes of seducer; she reserved for
misery of different kind.
The two rivals who sought her affecuons, were
brother clerks, in the finn of Messrs. Ogle Thomp-
son, well known merchants in Newry. The circum-
stances of each nearly equal, and they were
generally regarded with degree of respect, little
short of that shown to the partners themselves
Kavs was the name of one lover, MEvoy that of the
other Rays very handsome young man,
tall and we'll shaped; his rival had not the same
&c q
perorty of Rays in this respect. But this reflection
only caused him to redoube his attentions to Jenny,
and to do every thing in his power to ingratIate
himself into her esteem. Whether or not Rays was
less ardent or persevering in evncing his attach
ment, cannot now be known but after much per-
suason and entreaty, Jenny, though her heart own
ed preference for Rays, yielded to the mportuni-

to another. 1t was weakness on her part, and she
bitterly atoned for it; yet who shall blame her.

Kays1
When Jenny became wife, she was fully sensi-
BILE of the duties and obligations which her
dition imposed upon her; and she determined to
do all in her power not only to retain the affections
of her husband but to increase her own towards
him. With these feelings they might have been
happy but connubial bliss not to be the lot of
this young creature.
1t may easily be imagined that Rays, who not
less fond of Jenny than his successful rival, was
plunged into state of distraction he knew
of the utter ruin of his hope In the first paroxysm
of his rage he threatened destruction to both but
becoming calm, he conceived a scheme of
revenge, which he determined to carry into effect.
He began to affect Indifference upon the subject,
then to utter inuendoes that could not but create
strange coniectures and at last he did not scruple
to nsnuate, in plain terms, and in such way that
it was sure to reach MEvoy's ears, that he had pre-
vious to her marriage had illicit intercourse with
the young bride. Such reports were not slow in
finding crculation they speedily came to the know
ledge of M'Evoy and his wife, and their feelings
the occasion it may be easily supposed were deeply,
| though differently affected. Jenny became melan-
choly; her appetite failed her, she grew pale and
thin and was frequently caught in tears. The cru
city of Rays cut her to the heart. M'Evoy, though
he did not absolutely believe in the rumors of his
wfe's dshonor, was not certain that they were alto
gether false. ORAL feelings, that of jealousy is the
most easily reused, and when once awakened,
''Trihes, light air,
Are to the Jealous confirmation strong
| AS proofs of holy writ.
Rays and M'Evoy still placed near each
other and there were mutual heart burnings and
| chickering's between them. Both, however, avoid
| ed coming to open resentment; the one knowing
himself to be the protector of an unfounded calum-
ny; the other being 10th to render more public
than it was the reported disgrace of his wife.
Poor Jenny bore up against the influence of her
feelings as long as she could her home was wretch
ed to her susceptible and artless mind for doubt
and suspicion hung over it. Her husbands eye no
longer beamed on her with the soft light of conhd
ing love in few weeks she fell ILL, her brain be-
came delirious, and her medical attendants despair
ed of her life. MEvoy was himself in state to be
pitied and well might be reproached the author OF
his suerngs; in the language of our greatest bard

On horrors mead horrors accumulate
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amaz'd
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that
The effects Of Rays perfdy now stared him in
the face and for the first time made him sensible Of
his baseness He was not naturally of bad dspo-
sition-and his passion for Jenny revived in all its
force he would have died to restore her to her
senses, and to repair the wrong he had done her
He fastened to her mothers house to confess his
guilt, and to ask her forgiveness every hour only
made him the DESTROYS of atonng for the inju-
ries he had committed, and of expressing to her his
pentence Again he begged to be admitted to
the poor girl; he appeared almost broken hearted;
his request was again refused. Unable to retain
himself any longer, he confessed that the story he
told concerning her wicked fabrication
''Good Heavens - he exclaimed, raising his eyes
and clasping his hands, s'could but hear she for
gave me, how happy should be Z! but now am
miserable" "You cannot, you must not see her,
my poor child is dying the sight of you would be
too much for her, she is dying do not ask it p
He babe the disconsoate mother farewell, and
hurried away overwhelmed with grief and horror.
He could not rest all was dark and gloomy within
he solicited on the following day meeting of the
principal inhabitants of Newry at one of the inns,
and openly declared to all present, that every word
he had said against Jenny false, and that the
cause of his malignant fabrication his excessive
love, and his madness at seeing her possessed by
another. He was in consequence dismissed from
his situation. Still, however, he did not despair Of
seeing his unfortunate victim, and of cOnfessing to
her his villainy. With this intention he again re.
paired to her mothers residence, but it was too
late her spirit had fed to that world where the
praise and censure of mankind equally indiHer-
ent, in six weeks after the bridal day.
The remainder of the tale will be brief: Rays
shortly after left Newry, for America, entered into
the American army, and was killed The husl nd,
who was nconsolable for some time, despaired OF
ever being happy with any other woman, should
he marry again. This proved true; for a twelve
month after Jenny's death, he married miller's
daughter, young woman who very strikngly re-
sembled Jenny, and it was partly, perhaps from
that simtude that he married her.
Shortly after his second marriage, in faction
arising out of an election contest gentleman drew
his sword against M'Evoy, who parted it with his
sword stick, but in the affray the gentleman was
run through the body and instantly fell dead on the
spot. M'Evoy tried for his life: he said in his
defence he cared not to live but asserted that he
drew his sword in his own defence. Messrs. Ogle
