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.

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.

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 J.
