ON A CERTAIN I.AOV.
AT home when married Lydia fits,
And only fpbufes friends admits,
llow negligent her airs!
Ouite Ala mode m dishabille,
S-c ! Snuff her note and fingers fill,
Her hair about her cars.
Her handkerchief and morning gowh,
About her Ihouldcis loofly thrown,
With scarce a single pin in ;
No flays, no hoops, arc l'eeto upon her
(Thofc double guards of female honor)
And then, ye Gods ! her linen.
But when a hall or mafqueradc,
Calls her from this Doineftic shade,
In Public light to ftiitie ;
She’s dr Mil compleat from head to foot,
(If jewels nlk, and lace can do it.)
No Dutchefs half so fine,
So elies, when wintry fcafons reigrt,
Obscure in filth and dirt remain,
Nor dare to tempt the ikies,
Till warm’d by Phoebus’s genial rayl,
They balk and wonton in the blaze,
And fliew a thousand dies.
LINES TV FORTUNE.
AH ! bafliful fortune, fickle dame,
Subjctl alike to praise and blame ;
How have you taught iny youth to loaf,
And ere my age have made me poor !
Thy variegated gifts 1 know,
1 once was high and now I’m low :
Advert, once more, make me your care,
And fix me in a middle fphcrc.
APOLOGY FOR WEDLOCK.
IN Marriage are two happy things allow’d,
A wife in weddmg-fheets, and ina Ihroud :
How can a marriage-ftatc then be accurfl,
Since the lad day’s as happy as the firft.

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. EV E } of the Bahama JJlands,
to receive a fubl'cription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wiih to become
fubferibers, are requelled to fend for
ward their names as loon as convenient,
in order that the fubferiptfon 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 300 IDS.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling pov/er 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 feme 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 underlined certi
ficate from a refpedable Cotton Plan
ter of this slate, 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 moil ref
pedable Planters in 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 Wed-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGE! , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that-, being on a vifltfor
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Illands, 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 dates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season letting 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 duple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in podeflion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During iny flay in Nas
sau I frequently vifued 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 almofl any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the condruhdion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
praftice of using them.
