A HOT DAY.
WHAT a plague's a Summer breakfaft ?
Eat whate er you will;
Coffee is but a sultry dilh,
And toalt is hotter ftilU
Then how to pass the time away
Till dinner ? there’s the doubt ;
You’re hot it you itay in the house,
Your’re hot if you go out.
When dinner comes, L—d help us all,
Such roaiting, such a Hew j
You’re hot if you don’t touch a bit,
You’re hotter if you do.
Then after dinner what to do ?
No cooler place to rove ;
The Gentlemen are hot with wine,
The Ladies hot with love.
And now the kettle comes again)
That’s not the way to cool one;
lea makes an empty tiomach hot,
And hotter Hill a full one.
Now an evening walk's the thing,
And to the grove repair,
But man is hot do what he will
Until the day is o’er.
From a Ntrw- York Taper .
On Sunday May, an enthusiast
ic preacher, in ameighboring town, pre
d it'd the liiienniun would commence
\ a; dav v eek. Numbers of his weak
er ’. anmoners were frightened half to
“> ! ;!, a.'.d came out of church, wring
ing their bauds and wiping their eyes,
ut cri v the molt howling lamentations.
hp;e news reached this city, that the
wotid was coming to an end lafb Sun
dray, to tiie great terror of old women.
The day, however, came—the fun rose
as ulual—and all went on well, till ev
ening came to the unspeakable joy of the
poor frightened dupes of a fanatic
preacher.
It would be well if all fanatic preach
ers*coul& be sent to Botany bay. They
are forever making calculations about
the end of the world and the duration of
hell fire, and making half their hearers
wretched their whole lives. Multi
tudes of men and women enjoy fiercely
a moment’s peace of mind ; being per
petually haunted with the terrific repre
lentations they hear from the pulpit.
They literally sigh and groan away
their lives. So obvious is this, that
certain zealous feCts of religion wear a
perpetual gloom in their countenances,
and may be diltinguilhed by their long
ghaniy pale visages.
Real religion, real piety forbids all
this. Chrilt exp refs ly forbids these
aorrowful faces. Religion, if genuine,
will produce perpetual serenity and
chcerfulnefs; A man that loves God
and his fellow men, will be cheerful and
happy, in a conltant performance of lb
cial duties. He will not go whining
and crying about the ilreets or into the
pulpit to scare people out of their senses)
with ill founded predictions. We have
nothing to do wi th the end of the world
the world will ltill go on as Ulual—and
if it lhould not> those people will fare
the bell who have made themselves and
their tellow-ciealutes molt happy in the
dilcharge of real duties.
jWeaK minds are urn liable to alarms)
without any aids from men pretending
to be teachers of religion. C hildren are
often almost frightened to death with
ten thousand tboiifh talcs of honor from
their parc..ts and nudes. The whole
iirt'ot drea ms and omens and nonsensical
whims ot weak or diitcmpered imagina
tion is iiiiliiled into a child, before he
can read, to alarm him aid render his
lite unhappy. People do not reflect how
their opinions degrade God Almighty)
the autnor ot imme and lather olad our
bleflings, when they suppose him dei
ccnJing to the- task of terrifying people
by the ticking of little infects in the
W|ijs, called by filly lolks death-watch-
bufy at night in tiding their heads
with dismal forebodings, when they are
fuppofe the kind parent of
the universe capable of such trifling
work, is to place him in the rank of a
common juggler.
Were this folly or rather blasphemy
to be found only among ignorant peo
ple, there would be lei's cause for fur
prize. But when influential men feru
tinize into futurity and calculate Upon
Events to which Almighty power alone
is competent) they meddle with that
which belongs to God* Great events
are fore:old in fcr.pture ; but whether
the predictions are literal or allegorical,
and the time when and the manner how
they a re to be aecomplifltcd, no man can
Columbian iHufeum,
fay with any more certainty than the
horse he rides on.
It would be happy for the world, if
the teachers of morality and religion
would quit all conjectures, and calcula
tions and eftimares about things which
they do not and cannot underhand ; and
which serve only to frighten their hear
ers, or make them merely gape and Hare.
The bulinefs of minders ot religion is
to make their hearers wiser and better
by teaching practical truth and duty.
Conjectures have nothing to do with
morality and religion.

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E F E, of the Bahama illands,
to receive a fublcription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of Soutli-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wilh to become
fubferibers, are requeued 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 oi the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gir\ joolbs.
of dean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of 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 lice machines,
saw or grill 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
1 50 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this lubjed I beg lea e to re
fer gentlemen to the underiigned certi
ficate from a relpeCtable Cotton Plan
ter of this Hate, 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
pedaole Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wilh to become a lubleriber-.
Ths machine has met with uni venal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my hem til to New Providence, one
oi the Bahama Ifiands, 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’ fouthem 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 eood weather two hundred
• o t
weight of dean cotton in the courle of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the ltaple, and, from a
fanpie of feed and cotton in polieflion
of the mbicrioer, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
{his opinion. During my Hay in Nai
fau i irequently vilited Mr. Eve’s ma
cmne which was impelled by wind, and
never law more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
die other a small boy. This machine
is capaole of being attached to almoH any
of those used tor various purpoies in this
country ; the conitrudion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
