140 Jtflufesk 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. N O T ICE. MR. EVE’s arrival in Savannah, puts it hi the power of the subscriber to answer any enquiries respecting his Cotton Ginn’s. All Sunfcribers will be supplied. in tune to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June at. 32-ts 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.
