A LARK FED HER NESTLINGS.
A LARK fed her ncftlingseach day in the corn,
Which Summer had ripen’d with care;
How blitbfomc she lung ’mid the fwet tsof the
morn,
And clear’d with her pinions the air !
No bird that e’er flutter’d its wings as it flaw,
Carrol’d fwerter at dawning of day ;
How oft did her plumes meet the foft falling
dew,
As upwards she foar’d on her way.
But luckless, one noon, as flic ventured for food,
And left her sweet younglings behind,
A fehool-boy cfpitd them, and Hole them so
, rude-^-
Ah ! why did he aft so unkind !
Returning impatient, with food in hei bill,
She funk in her nest on the ground ;
And call’d them in vain, with her wild notes
lo shrill,
Tor, ah ! they were not to be found.
ahe Hew o’er the meadows and fought ev’ry dale,
And pluck’d thefoft down from her bread;
To the tall Wvy groves Ihr repeated her tale,
Some robber had plunder’d her neil.”
Vncealing (lie rov’d, and complain’d far and
wide,
And trill’d her lorn (train totheiky ;
“An where are myneftlings ?—ah ! tell me!”
flae cried,
“ Too weak are their pinions to fly.” ■<
Dtfpairing, at -last, her dear, young ones to find,
The corn (he forfook with difdaiu j
And clofmg her wings as she sung in the wind,
Tell mourning—and died on the plain.
ORIGIN OF NOBILITY.
PHILIP VICONTI, duke of Milan, enno
bled the family of one of his courtezans, nam
ed Delmaine. The motives fignifted in the
diploma, tor inducing him to confer this hon
or, was— Ob ddetlationem corporis nobisproiitam—
“ For the carnal voluptuousness she has afford
ed unto us.” If other princes imitated the
candour of Viconti, it would be evident that
titles of nobility, for the molt part, have deri
ved tlieir origin from infamy.,

r TH H E Subscriber is empowered by
; A Mr. EfE, of the Bahama 1 (lands,
.to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
it o n Ginning Machine. G en
tleman of the dates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wiih to become
jfubferibers, are requested *to fend for
ward their names s soon as convenient,
in ord£r that the'fubfeription may be

,cr the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
1 guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin jooibs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of ( wind, of wa
ter, or of horfrs. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, fuchas rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
.motion, anti fully to explain their fev
* end powers. From fonie frnall, expe
riments that have been made upon the
•green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
4 machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan
ter of thi? (late, who has been an eye
witness of the execution done by this
i machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, the moil ref
peftable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may yvifh to become a fubferiber.
J his machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGE I, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New providence, one
of the Bahama I flaods, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly eukivatedm the back
country of the southern itates, and sent
to Savannah for a linall quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. ’i he rainy ieafon Getting 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
ciean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine sepa rates tiie feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the ltaple, and, from a
farnple of Iced and cotton in polleffion
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 toe lame, one a grown person and
the other a small boyi This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conflruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
praftice of using them.
