STANZAS,
Infer ibcd to a Lady.
Vv*IIEN in my clay cold grave I’m laid,
And all my sorrows hufh’d to rest,
Will you approach, angelic maid,
And deck, the turf that’s on my head.
Will v r >u with fragrant flow’rs brftrew
The filcnt duff that wraps me round ?
Will you one cry Hal tear bellow,
And fay—’Twas I who gave the wound ?”
Then shall my spirit, freed from care,
Explore the wonders ot the Iky t
And in the Elysian fields prepare,
A sacred bow’r for you and I.
Th*re when this fleeting lile is o’er,
When death hasprov'd it but a dream,
Your matchiefs beauties I’ll adore,
And h>ve vou with a seraph’s flame.
There Peace and joy shall know no bounds,
But wrapt in cxracy divine,
Toilet my cares, and heal my wounds,
When all your heavenly charms arc mine.
EPIGRAM.
AT church I heard the pa< son fay—
“ No man mull work on Sabbath-day ; M
But, O good Heav’n, how he did work,
When he got home—witli knife and fork. !

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V E, of the Bahama I Hands,
to receive a fubfeyiption for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the {fates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may with to become
fubferibers, are requeued to fend for
ward their names as loon as convenient,
in order that the fuhfcription may be
closed. 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
traftsthat this Machine will gin 30c!bs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of borles. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
Can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw or grill mills. 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
150 to zoolbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjett I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underligned certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan
ner of this ilate, who has been an eye
witnels 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 molt ref
pedtable 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 in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been lent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County . ,
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama I Hands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in tic back
country of the southern Hates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season letting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whojc 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. *The machine separates ’the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to'the thple, and, from a
famplc of leed and cotton in<-pofTeflfon’
vof the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. ‘During my flay hi Nas
sau 1 frequently-vinted Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelfed 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 conltruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice cf using thenx
