Mow altei’d from the man that once you knew, to whims of fafhion, like the needle true. I’ride of the gay, and leader of the ton, The foul of plcafure’s circle long Iv ihone ; ‘Till draughts infiduous from the sparkling bowl, Deftroy’d the finer feelings of his foul ? Jiy (low, but sure degrees, the poison spread, Caftiiet’d the man, and left the beafl instead, — Alt ! had you seen him iu his fhabhy dress, Y ou would have felt what 1 inguXge can’t ex press: Slipftiod, in (hots both destitute of foal. And coal duji colored (lockings, full of holes ; A pair of greasy breeches —knees quite bare “With (carce a button modesty to spare : An old black rufly waijhoat, and hh /hirt Was, what remain’d, a p erf est patch of dirt ; His coat —which his great-grand lire wore wh.cn young, In rags and tatters on Iris (boulders hung. Upon his head a rufly felt he wore, Which h\%Jhort matted locks, scarce cover’d o’er, j These form’d the wardrobe of our once gay friend— These are the fruits which LOVE of GROG attend : Nay worfc than these, for reason thus dethron’d, Such wretches are by all mankind difown’d ; Disease and infamy their woes increase, ’Till death, in pity, gives them a release.

All Subscribers will be supplied in time to clcafr out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June si. 32-ts Cotton Ginning. TH E Subscriber is empowered by Mr. E V Ey of the, Bahama I llands, to receive a fubfeription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Gen tleman of the states ot South-Caroiina 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 trails that this Machine will gin joolbs. of clean cotton per day, with a {mall impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or of horses. This machine in a few. days, and with a trifling cxpence, can be attached to any machine in use for other purposes, fuchas rice machines, saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend” over a person competent to jfet 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 150 to zoolbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this lubjefl I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the underligned certi ficate frpm a refpe&able Cotton Plan ter of this state, who has been an eve 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 moft ref pedable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may wilh to become a This machine has met with universal 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 visit for my health to New Providence, one oi the Bahama Iftamis, 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 fatting 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 day. The machine separates the feed from the cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the staple, and, from a (ample ot feed and cotton in pofieftion ol the fubferiber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my stay in Naf iau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never saw 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 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.
