100 iHufcsh * 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. GEORGIA , Chatham County. 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.
