160 iHufcs, 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.

MEVF’s arrival in Savannah, puts it in r the power of the fubferiber to anfwe any enquiries refpeftinghis Cotton Ginn’s. All Subscribers will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 32-ts 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.
