LINES on feting a GAMESTER at CHURCH.
BV TIIS'REV. MR. BISHOP.
A Vet’ran Ganriblgr In a tcmpetf caught,
Oner in his life a Church’s fhcltrr fought ;
There many a hint, pathetically .grave,
On life’s precarious chance the Preacher gave:
The ferrnpn cndeljL and the (lorru all spent,
HnmV'frudg’tl old Cogdie. reaftiiiing as he went,
“ Stridl Truth,” quoth he, “ this rcv’rcnd fnge
declar’d,
“ I feci Conviction—and will be prepar’d',
” Nor e’er henceforth, finct life.thus Heals away,
“ Give credit for a bet beyond a day.”
An ofcjftonal ADDRESS, fpokenat the Theatre,in
Philadelphia., by Mils Solomon, in the Charac

LITTLE PICKLE.
Written by Mrs. Rawson.
DEAR me what shall I do, I’m in a fright,
j. fear I’ve play’d a foolifh trick, to-night ;
But pray now don’t be angry, pray excuse me
’ Fwould break my little heart should yourefufe
me.
I’m a tpoil’d child. Mamma who dearly loves
me ;
Whatc’er I do, kilTes me and approves me,
And you my generous friends when I appear
And drive wiihall my pow’rs to please you here;
Are so indulgent to my want of merit,
And hy yonr plaudits lo date my lpirit—
That I forgot you had been used to fee
A better Little Pickle far than me :
Then do For once at lead forgive my errors,
Make fonle allowance for my chilaifli terrors ;
And tho’ at all times Candid and impartial,
Forget for this one night the charming Mrs.
Marshall.

The Pumhin and Paddy.
A certain Paddy, newly transported into
this country, palled by where a farmer was ga
thering Pumkins. “By myjhouland what do
you call thnn,” fays Paddy—“ Mares eggs,”
fays, the farmer. “ And by Sc. Patrick , and won't
you fell me one of them ? for l wish to get in a way
of raifitig my own korfes, for my poor old father
jfraightenrd the hemp for nothing but for taking
one without liberty" —“ Yes, yes, for a qminer
of a dollar you may take one.” So Paddy
takes it and on he goes, and by defeending a
bill, he by chance let the pumkin fall, and it
took a direflion down the hill towards a bunch
of bushes, and Mr. Paddy in Full fpecd after it.
The pumkin flruck a Rump and split open—a
rabft which lay under the bushes asleep, ftart
cd up, almost frightened to death, and Paddy
aft r it, yelling, “ flop that cault! flop that cauit!

L iberty of the Subject,
It is really surprising that people
should bawl so for liberty when there is
To much lit this kingdom. It is well
kntnvn that all ranks of people poflefs
liberties which every thinkingman mult
ferioofly wish did’not cxift; and that
many of our liberties trench upon those
of other people. Several of our great
men have the liberty to run in debt with
every man who is fool enough to give
them credit, the liberty to refufe pay
ment as long as they please, and the lib
erty to plead privilege to protect their
sacred persons from the pursuit of Jaw.
But their, on the other hand, fome trades
men have the liberty of charging so
high for their goods, that if they are
Eai-1 once in seven years they will dill
c gainers by the bargain, whilst others,
more conscientious, have the liberty to
be ruined, and Lave their names inferr
ed in the ■Gazette, introduced by a
“whereas.
Many of our Clergy have the liberty
of enjoying finccures, and pluralities ;
whilll their lean curates have the liber
ty of doing all the duty, and maintain
ing their families as well as they can,
witli forty or fifty pounds a yfcar.
Several persons who never saw a fwOrd
drawn, orihot fired, (except perhaps, in
a duel, ou an imaginary affront,. ip de
fence of the reputation of a strumpet, or
on a qirarrcl about cards or dice) have
thcl ifcerty to start up at once as military
commanders, and raise regiments. For
which purpofc they have had the liber
ty to employ crimps—to trepan the un
wary, to seize men who had no other
crime but poverty, drag them from their
families, and fend them into the army
or the navy, and to depopulate the fields
■and looms for the good of the service.
Ladies of easy virtue (or rather no
virtue at all) take the liberty of croud
ing all public places, elbowing women
of imputation, and putting modesty out
of countenance. Os glorying in their
infamy ; and when they grow old them
selves and pail their trade, of ’writing
their **c moris for the edification of youth.
Contractors for lamps and cleaafing
our streets, have the liberty of leaving
the citizens in darkness and in filth ; of
sparing the expence of oil and brooms
whilst the taxes tor those purpoies arc
Tigorouflv exadted ; and w hat is worse,
nobody takes the liberty of profccoting
them on their bonds, and bringing them
to juitice.
Iwan) more infiances of liberty might
be produced ; but those lew may fufiice
to enable us to fay, that England is a
land of liberty ,

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E Y Ey of the Bahama I (lands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Rates of South-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may wi(h to become
fubferibers, are requested 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 of 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 dean cotton*per day, with a final!
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, fuchas 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 zoolbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjedl I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen ta the undertigned certi
ficate from a refpedable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an cyc
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 molt ref
peclable Planter-sin that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish 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.
v THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIAy Chaiham County .
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama lflands, 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 Rates, and lent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to au
fwer. The rainy season setting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve af
fufed 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 courie of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
fiunple of feed and cotton in pofleifion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Naf
lau 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 uled tor various purposes in this
country ; the confiru&ion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
pradlice of uiing them.
