180 JElttfcs, 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. VERAX.

M R EVE’s arrival in Savannah, puts it in the power of the fubferiber to answer any enquiries relpefting his Cotton Ginn’s. All Subscribers will be supplied in time to cka. out their prclcnt years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 32-ts 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.
