A TALE.
By the late Mr. Bishop.
No plate had John and Joan to hoard,
Plain folks, in humble plight ;
One tankard only crown’d their board,
And that was fill’d each night ;
Along whose inner bottom {ketch’d,
In pride of chubby grace,
Some rude engraver’s hand had etch’d
A baby Angel's face.
John fwallow’d firft a moderate flip;
But Joan was not like John ;
For when her lips had touch’d the cup,
She (Will’d ’till all was gone,
John often urged her to drink fair,
But Ihe ne’er changed a jot,
She loved to fee the Angel there,
And therefore drain’d the pot.
When John found all remonstrance vain,
Another card he play'd ;
And where the Angel stood so plain,
He got the De’il pourtray’d.
Joan saw the horns, Joan saw the tail,
Yet Joan as stoutly quaff’d;
And ever when ihe leized her ale,
She clear’d it at a draught.
John flared with wonder petrified,
His hairs rofc on his pate ;
And “ Why doll guzzle now ” he cri’d,
“ At this enormous rate ?”
John, ” said (he, “am I to blame ?
“ I can’t in confidence flop ;
** For fure’t would be a burning {hame
<( To leave the De’il a drop.”
ANECDOTE.
Two brothers coming once to be ex
ecuted for fome enormous crime, the e!-
ddl was turned off firft without speak
ing a word : the other mounted the lad
der, began to harangue the crowd, whole
ears were attentively open to hear him,
expected fome confefiion from him.
He said,
Good people, you my brother fee,
He hangs before your laces,
And turned off, I soon would be,
Should I but move two paces:
He is a moving Spcdacle,
A s you behold him there;
And when I’m turned off, you’ll fee,
Os Spc&acles a pair!

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E YE, of the Bahama Ifiands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Cnrolina
and Georgia, who may wifti to become
fubferibers, 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 joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or ot horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw or grill mills. Mr. Eve wiii lend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their fiev
cral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20oibs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjedt I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpedtable Cotton Plan
ter of this Hate, 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 moll ref
pedabie Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will he 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 Weft-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
ot the Bahama Hands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. hive’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the southern ilates, 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
daj'. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in pofleflion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than t wo people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. T his machine
is capable of being attached to almofl any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the confirmation appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
pra&ice of using them.
