An EATING SONG.
u Qh ! njjhat a charming thing's a Din
ner.”
CHear up, Gluttons fill your bellies,
Gormondize whole pounds of meat ;
Never piddle o’er your jellies,
But i'ubftantial viands eat.
Ev’ry waistcoat quick unbutton,
See the enemies advance !
Charge'the turkey, ham and mutton,
Point the culinary lance.
Brandi(h,boys, your knives and forks ail
As you would in war the spear ;
Bloat your paunches like a foot-ball,
Eat in grease from ear to ear.
Still let us abhor the motto,
‘Pauco Vesco’—damping words !
But good roast beaf, piping hot, O !
Spread in plenty o’er our boards.
See the sirloin richly fmoaking,
Mark the gravy, how it springs !
Mal-contcnts, forbear your croaking,
By the Gods we feaft like kings.
Come, dexterity exert now,
Deep incisions, make with speed ;
Wipe your chops, look quite alert now,
Whilit on such llrong fare we feed.
Lord! how hot the battle rages I
Conqucft delolates the plain :
What I our appetites assuages :
Let us drink—and eat again.
From the store-house brisk and mellow,
See the brown October fly—
Thro’ our spacious hall we. ’ll bellow,
“Here ’s Alccefs to LIBERTY.”
Whilst we ’rc gorging withour measure,
Hear our greasy chairman cry—
Fating is sublimest pleasure,
“Whilst we eat—we’ll never die !”
Remarkable Dfcovcry of a Murder. ,
When Dr. Donne, afterwards Dean of*
St. Paul's, took pollsflion of the firft *
living he ev’er had, he took a walk into
the church-yard, where the sexton was
digging-u!> a grave, and throwing up a
lkuli, the’ Dr. took it up to contemplate
thereon, and found a small sprig or head
lels nail {ticking in the temple, which
he drew out secretly and wrapt up in
the corner of his handkerchief. He
then demanded of the grave-digger if
he knew whose skull it was ? He said he
did ; declaring it was a man's who kept
a brandy an honest drunken fellow,
who-one night having taken two quarts
of thq comfortable creature, was found
dead in his bed n*xt morning. Had
he fcWife ? Yes. What character docs
(he beaf ? Avery good one, only neigll
nurs refleft on her for marrying the
day after the husband was buried; tho’
to be sure she had no great reason to
grieve for him. This was enough for
the doCtor, who under pretence of visit
ing his parishioners, called on her : He
ufked herfeveral questions ; and, among
others, what sickness her hulband died
of? She giving him the fame account
lie'had recieved before, he suddenly o
pened the handkerchief and said, in an
authoritative voice, “Woman do you
know this nail The woman, struck
with horror at this unexpected demand,
ipilantly confefled the deed.

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V Ey of the Bahama I Hands,
to receive a fublcription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the states of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wiPn to become
fubferibers, are requested to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the lubfeription 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
tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or 01 horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in uft
for other fuch as lice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a perfqn competent to set them in
motion, and iuliy 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 fubjed I beg leave to re
ler gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpedable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eye
witness 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 molt ref
pedabte Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made’ known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wilh to become a (übferiber.
ifhs machine has met with univerlal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Inciies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGI IfA f Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
oi the Bahama I {lands, 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 states, 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 af
(ured me his machine was competent,
irom 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 staple, and, from a
ample of feed and cotton in pofleflion
of the fublcriber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Naf
tau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was,impelled by wind, and
never law more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of thole used for various purposes in this
country ; the conftru&ion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using then?.
