THE IVAY TO KEEP HIM.
‘i O fcarc.h after bliss, filly mortals still roam,
And arc bewilder’d before they’re aware,
But. joy and Content are both center’d in home,
If love and good humour be there.
Take the world as it goes, neither grumble or
fret,
Or preach o’r the fins of mankind,
‘Tis in women alone all our joys are complete,
If love and good humour you find.
Hut, if crofs’d when abroad, you return to your
lair,
In hopes that her smiles will repay,
Take the edge from your fplcen, clear your bo
som of care,
And love and good humour obey.
If blaftcd your hop'-s, by a gloom on her brow,
Your sorrows with int’rell return,
Nor love or good humour can foften you now,
In dull pensive filcnce you mourn,
Isa wound is receiv’d from the arm of a foe,
Fiercepaflion yourbofom will move,
But how great is the pain, and how double the
blow,
If given by the hand that we love.
Since so plcafing the charm, and so lading the
j°y>
Be friends to yourselves thenvc fair,
Nor by frowns, or ill humour tlic blefling de
ll roy,
And for love and good humour take care.
Let the sweet beaming smile ever light up each
charm,
’Tis itfclf the fam’d ceflus of love,
Its influence so great, will resentment disarm,
And love and good humour improve.
Then why fliould a li own ever blacken the fccne
Call a cloud o’er a beautiful lacc,
A frown mull a beauty so inflan.ly fereen,
And the full work of heaven deface.
May it then be my lot, in the arms of my fair,
Though by day thro’life’s mazes.l roam.)
At night by her frtiiles bid defiance to care,
Find love and good humour at home.

Cotton Ginning.
r Tr’ H E Subscriber is empowered by
X Mr. EEEy of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wiih 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 thepow-,
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trasts that this Machine w ill gin 3ooibs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wai
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,
law 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 iubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpeftable 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 moll ref
peftable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may vvifh to become a fubferiber.
This machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Weil-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
rny health to New Providence, one
of the Eahama Islands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Five’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 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 separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in pofleffion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Nas
sau 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 for various purpoles in this
country ; the conftruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
confequencc in the Bahamas is in the
practice of uling them.
