“ For (he is fair beyond the brightest bloom,
“ Fair as the forms that’rc wove in Fancy’s
loom.” MASON.
In vain we fill the sparkling bowl,
In vain idulgc the flow of foul,
To cheer the heavy heart;
For where’s the rest that wine can give,
Cr song to make our spirits live,
If Phillis bears no part ?
Then drink to Phillis, ever gay,
Sweet rival of the Rosy May,
And I ’il get drunk for joy.
For fay, wliat ’s life without the sex,
A fourcc of endless ills to vex,
And all our bliss dellroy ?
I hen fill again the bumper high,
Let echo bear it to the ficy,
The name of her we toast :
While Catch and Glee & sportive laugh
Shall join the Nedlar’d Wine we quaff,
’Till time itfelf is loft.
Thus bleft and happy, Time may run,
And end our days, as wc begun,
In spite of War’s alarms ;
For let Divines fay what they will,
There’s that which sweetens every ill,
In lovely Woman’s arms.

ANECDOTES.
A Gentleman who was very crooked, was
met in the road by a tailor, who atked him if
be came Jlraight from home, and was replied
in die affirmative— “ Then ” said the sailor
4 ‘ your iionour was very much warp’d by the
way.”
A sailor who was amazed at the
tricks of a juggler at Chelter, was blown
up with ihc rest of the auditory, by a
fbark of a candle reaching foine gunpow
der, in the lower apartments. Jack was
fafely landed in a cabbage garden at fome
diltaix and when he had quietly refeat
cd himfelf, his full exclamation was
“ D— mate, what will this fellow do
next ?”
LIMERICK, [lreland) March ao.
The coach called the Telegraph, in
coming; from Kirdorrery, to this town,
took fire in confcqucnce of the great
iridlion of the wheels. T here were in
the coach a young gentleman by the
naieof O’Balkley, who was going with
his father to get his marriage licence at
Limerick, the rev. Mr. kellby—and
outside was a drunken foldicr. The
fire having communicated to a calk of
gun-powder, carrying to Mr. Flyn the
grocer, it blew up with a tremendous ex
plosion. The parties in the carriage
were blown to pieces, but the foldicr,
who fell off the carriage a short time be
fore, elcaped with only the fracture ol
an arm.
T he remainder of the coach in flames
was drawn by the terrified horses thro’
the ic reels of Limerick to the liable of
ihc owner, which it set on fire ; but the
flames were happily extinguilhed, elfc
the whole of Iriflitown would probably’
have been consumed. The militia on
this occasion diltinguifhed themselves,
aul have received the thanks of the cor
poration.
A number of coal heavers, to the num
ber of twenty, in the service of Mr.
Sant, coal-merchant, were fortunate
enough to pofiefs one half of a ticket,
which came up a prize of 20,000 b in
the present Engliih ftatc lottery'. One
of the members had fold his lhare previ
ous to its being drawn ; the purchaser
afterwards made him a present of 20
guineas, and the remaining members
conjointly made it up 1001.

Cotton Ginning.
TII E Subscriber is err.po tiered by
Air. E T E, of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Ma c hint. G en
tleman of the Hates of Sourh-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may wifii to become
fubferibers, are requested to lend 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 nart, he con
tracts that this Machine wiii gin joolb.s.
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 rice 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
iyOto 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this subject I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi-
from a refpedable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eve
witnels of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by themeft ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wifii 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
of the Bahama Iflands*, 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 Hates, and feat
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment T 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 hud 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 roiiers without do
ing an)’ injury to the ilaple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in pofi'eflion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never law more than two people attend
mg the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to alinoft any
of those used for various purposes in this
country; the conftrudlion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
