CONTENTMENT,
“IF Peru** golden vein l ; were mine,
And all th ■ genu that e’er did Ilnur,
They should with freedom all be spent,
If they could pure hale fwcet Content.
Methinki from storms my foul (he’d guard,
For gems and gold flie can reward ;
But Moral sages oft have taught,
For gold nor gems cannot be brought.
The peasant in his eottage may
Pol T.-ls h.rr though he’s nought to pay ;
11 -’ll smile if (Ire but dwell within,
fits meagre face shall make ferenc :
But, oh th r palace, how*unblrft,
Whene’er lhe is not found a guest.
Then fiear my call, Contentment come,
And make my bread thy tranquil home,”
M 1 S E R Y.
IF misery be the effeft of virtue, it ought to
be reverenced ; if of ill fortune, it ought to be
pitted ; and if of vice, not to be insulted ; be
caufc it is, perhaps, itfelf a nunifhment ade
quate to the crime by wl ir.h it was produced ;
Sind the humanity of that man tan deserve no
panegyric, who is capable of reproaching a
criminal in the hands of the executioner.

Cotton Ginning.
r HE Subscriber is empowered by
JL Mr. E EE, 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 wilh to become
fublcribers, are requested to fend for
ward their names as focn as convenient ,
in order that- the fubfeription may be
doled. 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
tracts that this Machine will gin 3oolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with p trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other puipoles, fuchas tice machines,
law or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a perlon competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers, From fume linall expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 2Colbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this f übjed I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underligned certi
ficate from a refpeclable Cotton Plan
ter of this Hate, who has been an cye
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 mo ft ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may with to become a fubferiber.
This machine has met with universal ap
probation iu every part of the Weit
fndies to which it has been sent.

GEORGIA , Chatham C.cuvty.
IDO certify, that, being on a visitso r
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 Hates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment 1 found to an
swer. I hfe rainy season setting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve al
lured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation lie 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 liable, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in possession
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never law more than two people attend
ing the iame, one a growri perfoi? and
the other a lmall boy. This machine
jis capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conltruiftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
conference in the Bahamas is in the
practice of ufir.g them.
