Me IT. Powers (z. Seymour,
You will oblige a Sub briber by infer ting theficl
lowing :
ALL hail, ye fields, where constant peace at
tends !
All hail, ye furred solitary groves !
All hail. ye brooks, my true, my real friends,
Whose GonVCrfa’uon pleases and improves i
Could one who ftudiedyour sublimer rules,
Become lo mad to frarcli lor joys abroad ?
To run to towns, to herd with knaves and tools,
And undiftinguith’d, pass among the crowd ?
One to ambitious fancies, made a prey,
Thinks happiness in great preferment lies ;
Nor fears for that his country to betray,
Curs’d by the fools, & laugli’t at by the w ife.
Others, whom avaricious thoughts bewitch,
Confutne their time to multiply their gains ?
And fancying wretched, all who are not rich,
Negleft the end of life to get the means.
Others, the name of pleasure do invite,
All their dull time in lenfual joys alive ;
Arid hope to gain that solid firm delight,
By vice, which innocence alone can give.
But how perplex’d, alafs 1 is’human fate ?
I, whom no avarice nor pleasures move ;
V/ho view with scorn, the trophies of the great,
Yet mult inyfclf, be made a slave to love.
If this dire pafiion never will begone,
If beauty always mull my heart enthral,
Or rather let me he confin’d to one,
Than madly there, be made a prey to all !
One who ; has early known the promp of state;
(For things unknown is ignorance to con
demn)
And after having receiv’d the guady wait,
Can boldly fay, the trifle I contemn.
In herblefl arms, contented could I live,
Contented could I die ; But oh ! my mirtd,
1 feed with fancies and my thoughts deceive,
With hop: of things impoflible to find.
In women, how should sense and beauty meet ?
The wisest men their youth, in follies spend;
The hest —he that earliell finds the cheat,
And fees his errors, while there’s time to
mend.
FASHION.
TIIE ladies of the present day, without
waists, do not perhaps know that they copy
this sash ion from madame Tallien, whocopied
it from the Greeks. Madame Tallien is one of
the mod elegant women in Europe, and had
hes waist (hortened by a ceflus of diamonds ;
so that she did not at all resemble those ladies
with thick woollen fpenccrs. The original
Creek dress is a fort of negligee, and ail of one
piece from top to bottom, but never with a pet
ticoat dropped over the body.

TII E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E VE, of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wiib to become
fubferibersj are requested to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv

er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin jooibs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horfcs. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling experne,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw or grill mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From feme small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjedl I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the ur.derligned certi
ficate from a refpeclable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eye
witness of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the molt ref
pedlable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish to become a fubferiber.
Ths machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indics to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama I Hands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the louthern states, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy fealba setting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any iqiury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in pofleifion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Nas
sau I frequently vilited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country; the conftruffion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
