208 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., *To r sa le, On board the BRIG ELIZA, from BOSTON, ’ 5 Hhds.

MR. EVE’s arrival in Savannah, puts jt in the power of the fubferiber to answer any enquiries nffjv'fting his Cotton Ginn’s. All Subscribers will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, Juny 21. 32-ts Cotton Ginning. 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 closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv ,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. 1 J* WALD BURGER.
