92 Jtfluf&k 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. Canal Lottery, No. 2.

WILLIAM LAMB. b Savannah, April 39th, 1736. Columbian fHufetmt, &c. Cotton Ginning. 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 the Machine, independent of the pow 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.
