SEE bloody Difcnrd lift its envious head,
And (hakes thc hiding serpents from his hair,
Then o’er the earth fee wild confufion (pread,
Ahd hastening evils beckon todefpair.
Who now with claarfulnefs shall finding toil,
And happy view the children of his care ?
Say who with industry (hall dress the foil,
For who the wife her frugal (lore prepare ?
Must the delight that deck’d the honed brow,
The tender Father fad and filert droop.
The smile contented, and the healthy glow,
Alike be banilh’d from the guiltlels groupc ?
No more the hand of industry nmft glean
The well -earn’d murlel from the yielding
earth,
No more with thanks the humble bread mud
teem,
But looks mud speak, and sighs deplore the
dearth.
Wild with difpair, the diftrefs'd father flies,
To leek for death, or glory, in the field ;
Di drafted fights to (lop his children’s sighs,
And uobly bleeds, the bitter bread to yield.
The widow's tears mud wet the harden’d
ground,
The scanty cruft in tears his offspring deep,
Yet cartels (til!, no end these tears have found*
When father, husband, friend, they have to
weep.

THE lounging house-wise rises in
the morning in hade ; for laxy folks are
ever in a hurry—She has not time to
put on her clothes properly, but ihe can
do it at any time. She draws on her
gown, but leaves it half pinned, her
handkerchief is thrown awry across her
neck, her ihoes down at the heels ; lire
bullies about with her hair over her
eyes; fire runs from room to room slip
shod, refolvcd to do up the work and dress
herfelf ; but folks who are llip-fhod
übout the feet, are usually flip-flood all
over the houfc, and all day ; they begin
way thing and fntjh nothing. In the
midst of the poor woman's hurry, some
body comes in : she is in a flutter, runs
into the next room, pins up her gown
and handkerchief, hurries back with
keels thumping the floor : Oh dear, you
have catched us all in the suds ! J in
tended to have cl aned up before any body
came in, but I had every thing to do
this morning ; in the mean time, lhe
catches hold of the broom, and begins
to (weep : the dud rises and ftifles every
foul prefeni. This is ill manners in
deed, to firulh the dull into a neighbor’s
iac©——butt the woman is <very Jorry it
happened Jo.
IVhny a neighbor has thus been en
tertained with uyfogies and dust, at a
fiiend’s home, and wherever this takes
place, depend on it, the mittrefs puts off
to any time, that is, to no time, what
ought to be done at the present time.

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. EYE, of she Bahama Islands,
to receive a fublcription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the states ot South-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may willi to become
fubferibers, are requested to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may lie
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
trads that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or ot horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other j urpofes, fuchas rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to fetthem 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 zoolbs. can bp ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjedt I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a respectable Cotton Plan
ter of this stale, 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 bv the molt ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wifn to become a fubferiber.
This machine has met withuniverfal ap
probation in every part of the Weft-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORG lA, Chat loam County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Islands, 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 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 thc 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. Thc machine separates thc feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the ltaple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in possession
of thc fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay iu 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 used for various purposes in this
country; the conftruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
