124 iHufes. 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. The TURTLE and TRAVELLER. A DIALOGUE. Traveller— WHY with your wailing do these groves te* iound ? Turtle— Mv mate, mv Turtle ‘s no where to be found. Wny thro tiict <oliiud"s ehufe you to roam ?

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.
