EPISTLE to an HEIRESS.
MARI A1 I’mrrfolvcd to tell my pain,
In spite of diffidence it mud be told ;
Torment you know, will make the dumb com
plain,
(For inilanco) Balaam’s cudgelled bead of old.
Then oh ! attend thou faireft of the fair,
Let one sweet fmilc a ray of hope impart,
In pity deign to near a humble prayer,
Ana banilh furrow from my aching heart.
*Tis not thy pouting lip of rosy dye,
Nor bread, where all the love* delighted rove,
Nor the blue languish of thy sparkling eye,
That in my bosom roused the flame of love.
Thy lip, and breajl, and eye, I much admire,
But charm* less traniient rob my foul ofred :
Thy gold, thy guineas set me all on fire.
I long to rummage your Papa’* old chejl.
But different eyes are struck with different
charms,
Ilex’s Damn pierced by Cupid's poisonous
’dart,
Would gladly take you to his longing arms,
And alk no portion with you but—a heart ,
Then pray, Maria, let him have his whim,
And likewise pity my poor tortured bread,
To me your money give— yourfelf to him,
And make at once, a couple of us bled.

into a tent to drink ; when, as Cot fpiutter hers
nails was heaving up the picker ; a cannon ball
flipt oft his head, the Jack and all. “By jajiis,”
cries Paddy, “ the beer is Jpilt.*’

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V E, of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fublcription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wi(h 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 ot the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin 3oolbs.
of clean 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 grist 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
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjedl I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underligned certi
ficate from a relpeftable 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 moft ref
peftable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may with to become a fubferiber.
This machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Weft-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORG I A, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vilit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Islands, I was induced to
make amexperiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Giiming 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 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 ftparatc; the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in poffeflion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Nai
fau 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 almoit any
of those used for various purposes in this
country; the conftruclion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence In the Bahamas is in the
pradlice of using them.
