Thu SHIELD of SORROW.
WHEN Heav’n dili'olves the facredtie,
Which binds two iaithlul fouls in one,
Where lhali the said survivor fly,
The arrow oi despair to Ihun ?
Oh ! can the nvjfing hours of grief
A pause from keen remembrance know;
Or rooted for row rind relief
From empty Lrrovvs of outward wee ?
Can fortune’s fmiies lm peace icitore ?
Or can the 1.. long and dance,
Where ptea yk’s leliive tiain, in ail
The mazy rounds ol joy advance ?
Ah no—this world no care bellows,
In vain is every human art :
From pore religion only flows,
A ha.i. o ueal the wounded heart.
A , conn. iv.. Way to fay for NEIVS
PAjtCAxS.

Well, if you mull go, I’ll put you in

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. £ F E, o( the Bahama Klancb,
to receive a fubicription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Ge.-
tieman ot the Hates ot Soutr.-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wish to become
(übferibers, are requeited to (e,,d ior
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 thepow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin 30olbs.
ot clean cotton per day, with a fmali
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or ot horses. This machine in a
lew days, and with a trying expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, fuchas rice machines,
saw or grid mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome fmali 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 fubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan
ter of this date, who has been an eye
witness o( the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the mod ref
peftable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may with to become a fubferiber.
Ths machine has met with uni venal ap
probation in every part of the Wed-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my health to New Providence, one
oi the Bahama Illands, 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 southern dates, and sent
to Savannah for a fmali quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
lwer. Ihe rainy frafon setting in a
oout the rime I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve af
iured me his machine was competent,
trom the calculation he had made, to
mean 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 injury to the dapie, and, from a
(ample of lead and cotton in possession
oi the fubferibee, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth o(
this opinion. During my day in Nas
sau I frequently visited 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 fmali boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to aimed any
of thofc u(ed for various purposes in this
country ; rhe condruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
praftice of using them.
