192 Jklufes. Modern Devotion. TO chnrch I went With good in ent, To hear Sangraao preach and pray ; But objects there Black, brown, and fair, Turn'd eyes and heart a different way. Miss Patty's fan, Mils Molly’s inan With powdered hair and dimpled cheek, Miss Delia’s eyes, That once made prize Os Foplivg , with his hair so fleck. Embroider’d gowns, And play-houie tunes, Eftrang’d all hearts from heav’n so wide: I felt moll odd, This house of God Should all be flutter, pomp, and pride. Now pray be wife, No prayers will rife To heaven—where hearts arc not sincere : No church was made For Cupid's trade : Then why these arts of ogling here ? Since time draws nigh When you and I At church mull claim the sexton’s care; Leave pride at home Whene’er you come To pay to Heaven your offerings—there. Canal Lottery, No. 2.

EVE’s arrival in Savannah, puts it in the power of the fubferiber to answer any enquiries refpefting his Cotton Ginn’s. All Suoicribcrs will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 3^-ts Cotton Ginning. r 'p H E Subscriber is empowered by X Mr. EVEy of the Bahama lllands, to receive a fublcription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine, Gen tleman of the dales of South-Carolina and Georgia, who may with to become fubferibersy are requeued to fend ior ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the fubfeription may be doled. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent oi the pow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs. of clean cotton per day, with a small impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or of hories. This machine in a few days, and with a trifling expence, can be attached to any machine in use for other purpefes, such as Kce machines, law or grill miils. 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 rSO to 20olbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this ittbjedl I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi ficate from a respectable Cotton Plan ter of this state, who has been an eye .vitnefs of the execution done by this nachine, and to various certificates that nave come out at different times in the Bahama papers, signed by the molt ref pcitable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may with to become a fubferiber. Phis machine has met withuniverfal ap probation in every part of the Weft- Indies to which it has been feat. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORG lA, Chatham County. IDO certify, that, being on a visit for my health to New Providence, one >f the Bahama lllands, 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 ier.t to Savannah for a small quantity there of, which on experiment I found to an swer. The rainy season letting in a bout *.hc time I received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve af lured 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 courle ot a day. The machine separates the feed from the Cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the flaple, and, from a fampie of feed and cotton in poilelfion of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my day in Nas sau I frequently vilited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never law more than two people attend ing the fame, one a grown person and the other a final 1 boy. This machine is capable of being attached to almoit any of thole uled for various purposes in this country ; the conltruction appears by no means complex, and every planter of consequence in the Bahamas is in the practice of using them.
