128 iHules* 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! “FOR SALE, SUGAR in Hhds. and Barrels, Bell Green COFFEE, By BORDMAN HILLS.

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.
