S o N G,
From the Bcgatell of fi Lock and Key.”
A woman is like to —but Hay—
What a woman is like, who can fay ?
There’s no lining with or without one,
Love bites like a ily,
Now an ear, now an eye* —
Buz, buz, always buzzing about one.
When Ihc's tender and kind,
She is like to my mind,
(And Fanny was so I remember)
She’s like to —Oh dear !
She’s as good very near
Asa ripe melting peach in September.
Jf the laugh, and Ihe chat,
Play, joke, and all that,
And with smiles and good humourJhe
meets me,
She is like a richdilh,
Os venlbn and fi(h,
Tha t cries from the table, f come eat me ?’
But (lie’ll plague you, and vex you,
Dili rati and perplex you,
False hearted, and ranging,
Unsettled, and changing,
What then do you think ihe is like ?
Like a sand ? like a rock ?
Like a wheel ? like a clock ?
Aye, a clock that is always at Jlrih.
Her head’s like the liland,folks tell on,
Which nothing but monkies can dwell
on,
Her heart’s like a lemon—so nice
She carves for each lover a slice ;
In truth ihe’s to me,
Like the wind, like the sea,
Whole raging will hearken to no man 5
Like,,, a mill,
Like a pill,
Like a flail,
Like a whale*
Like an ass,
Like a glass,
W hose image is constant to no man ;
Like a flow’r,
Like a ihow’jr,
Like a fly,
Like a pie,
Like a pea,
Like a flea,
Like a thief,
Like—in brief,
She’s like nothing on earth, but a woman.

TH E Subfcribcr is empowered bv
Mr. EV E , of the Bahama I Hands,
to receive a fubfeription for his cot
ton Ginning Machinf.. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may with to become
fubferibers, are requested. to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription 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
tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cctton per day, with a final]
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or oi horses. i his 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 let them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome fmali expe
riments that havd been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to zoolbs. can be ginned m this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjeft I beg lea-e to re
fer gentlemen to the under ft gned certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton hlan
ter of this Hate, who has been art eve
witnefs 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 meft ref
pettable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish to become a fubferiber.
i hs machine has met with univerfai ap
probation in every part of the Weft-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.

IDO certify, that, bfing on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama I Hands, 1 was induced t o
make an experiment on Mr. Eye’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the southern dates, and sent
to Savannah for a fmali quantity there
of, which on experiment 1 found to an
swer, ‘ihe rainy season setting 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
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 tuple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in poftelhon
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my Hay 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 the fame, one a grown person and
the other a fmali boy. This machine
is capable ol being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country; the conftruttion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of ufmg them.
