CotUCTION ROUND A TeA-TABLJ.
E’ER the colle&ion does begin,
Someone invites her neighbors ia
1 o tak’- with her a dish of Tea,
Wade of the fineft of Bohea ;
And when the Ladies thus have met
Then just at night the tables set,
They gather round with decent care
Come you air the Oldest you set there.
Oh that’s no matter fit down do,
So after compliments are through
Someone begins to talk,- another
Strikes in fome notes above the other,
Next thin the third, fourth, fifth, so round
Each drive the other’s voice to drown’d—
None flop to hear what others fay,
Nor cun they hear thcmlelve*, yet they
Keep on in this exalted tone
Together all —yet ail alone.
The fir ft has done, the next but half,
The firit tho’ thinks it time to laugh,
And so begins, ie he, te-he,
Another joins as loud as flic,
Though cannot give a reason why
’Tis better then to laugh than cry ;
The laugh incrcaies till however
One strains above the rest——-I nevs* 1 .
I’m quite difeouraged, I don’t fee
You ever mean to viiit me,
My bn (band now is gone from home,
So now I think you ought to come.
You cries the rest, ycu ow’d before
We saw you last, two vtfits more.
And you owe me, and you owe me,
So round it goes yet none agree,
And when the long dispute is past
Nothing’s concluded on at last.
It feenrts amazing strange to me,
They feel so well for drinking tea,
For if a foreigner should come,
He’d think they’d all been drinking rum.
A little child begins to cry,
Whilh, fays its mother, gives it pye,
The rest come flocking and are fed
With pve, and cake, and gingerbread,
Whifh, fays another, keep away',
Ilonft you know better ? you lbould flay
’Till VPe have done; the cnild although
Determines that he will not go,
Well, stay here then if you’ll be still.
(The child wo’nt promtfe that he will)
lie fees the cake and laye.th hold ;
The mother now begins to scold,
The child don’t care but lets her teaze,
And feizeth at a plate of chcefe,
Do give me that l will have fome,
The bigeft piece that lies there mum.
Now feeing he don’t mind commands,
She feizeth him and holds his hands,
Arid fays, to fmooththe matter o’er,
You never ailed io before,
My child’s not well I certain know,
If well he would not ailed so,
Then fome Ironical complaint,
AnfWWs instead of a reflraint.
Say's one I guels our cows arc come,
So fays he next, we mull go home,
And as they gather round the door v
They tun” up louder than before!
When will you come ? I am afraid
My vifics will not he repaid.
So all invite, and all reply,
To viiit soon they mean to try.
Then flock off home in usual form,
And the next djy there comes a storm.

It is with great pleasure we express our opin

guine expectations, and we think ourselves ful
ly juitified, in giving you thisteftimony of our
approbation of your method and talents in the
education of youth. Thai you may meet with
ample encouragement, and a correspondent suc
cess, as well in your office of tutor, as in the
intended publication at large, of your excel
lent plan of inflrudlion, is, fir, the warmeftwifh
of your moft obedient servants,

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V Ej of the Bahama. I hands,
to receive a fublcription for h‘is Cot
ton Ginning Machini. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wilh to become
fubferibers, are rcqueHed to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that, the fublcription 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 tnat this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horse?. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence*
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, {uchas rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to zoolbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this subject I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpedtable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an cye
witnefs 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 mofl ref
pedable 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 Weit-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a viiit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Islands, 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 i'outhern Hates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season 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 injury to the ftapie, and, from a
sample oi feed and cotton in pofl'eiHon
of the iubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my Hay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw mere than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable ot being attached to almofl any
of thole used for various purposes in this
country ; the conftrutftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
confequcnce in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
