THE LITTLE WAIST.DEFENDED
IN’ defence of hrr sex, sure a woman may speak;
Pray what is it now that you men would be
at ?
Do you think that we mind each occasion you
fork,
To laugh it our dress, little waifts,and all
that i
No,don’t fir’sbelieve it, such ninfcnfe mufl fall*
Convinc’d, when we look but a moment
about us,
That whether we’re all waist, or no waist at all,
You can’t for the iitc of you men, do with
out us,
*Tis filly to sport with our fnnei-s and dress,
Since we tan itfbdue you, whenever we
please ,
For surely we’ve power, you all mufl eonfels,
To make you a(k pardon for that on your
knees.
Then prithee, dear firs, leave our short waift*
alone ;
’TA the whim of the ds/, and we’ll have it
don’t doubt us ;
So give over our geittng, and candidly own,
y ou can’t for the life of you men, do with
out us.
That women have tongues, I believe you Are ll
know ;
But pray you don’t force u* to put them in
uliej
For if you but once give them freedom to go
You’ll find it a hard thing,to flop their abuie,
Besides, look at home on the dress of youi felvet,
With your ipenccrs and pantaloons docking
about us ;
Eut I’ll tell you again, O ye confident elves,
You can’t, for the life of you men, do with*
out us.
Dr. JohnJlon. —A person wr.s flow
ing the Doctor the CaiUe of Edinburgh,
he mentioned to him a tradition that
Lome part of it had been Handing 300
years before Chrith 4 Much faith (re
plied the Dottor) is due to tradition ;
and that part of the building which was
Handing at so early a period, mutt
undoubtedly have been the rock upon
“Which it is founded!’
IF / WAS HE *
Ah ! what if you were ? Why I
would do so and so. No, lir, under the
fame circumttanccs, you would dojutt
like him, or worse.
“ If I was a minitter,” fays a well
meaning parithioner* 4f and had as little
to do as molt mlinliers have, I would
study my Tenuous better, I would rot
come into the pulpit without a fennon
and have to make one as 1 go along ; nor
Would I preach one of Blair’s.
41 If I was a lawyer,” /ays a farmer,
* l I (hould not have the face to alk three
dollars for a word of advice. But sup
pose, fir, you had spent five hundred
pounds in qualifying yourtclf to give
that advice ? * ;
44 If I was Mr. such a one, I would
aiot be plagued with lawsuits as he is.
I am sure he might avoid it*
Neighbour such a one has a farm—he
owns a large ftockof cattle—but lie lived
wretchedly in his house. His wife is a
drozzie, his floors arean inch thick with
<iirt—his tables and chairs are covered
■withgreafe. Jf I was lie, I would put
things in better order or i’d know the
reason why.”
Alas, poor man, wait, till you have a
Hut forahoufe keeper, and then you'd
change your tone.
44 If I was such a one,” fays a young
man I would not marry such a lady, for
depend on it flic will be A Xantippe. If
i was he, I am sure I could not love her.
“If I was a married man,” fays an
old batchcler, “ I would govern my
children cr I’d know the reason why*
There is neighbour such a one who fuf*
fers his children to do all manner of mif
chief, and if a word of reproof rs utter
ed, the littic iellows laugh in his face.'*
Bachelors children arc always well gov
erned.
What a pity that since the world is so
bad this Mr. I, who isfowifeand bene
volent cannot turn into every body,, and
corredl every body’s vices and follies—
then change from every body into I
again, and correct As own vices and fol
lies.

Cotton Ginning.
TII E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E EE t of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for bis Cot
tom Gi nnme Machine. Gen
tleman of the fhtes of South-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may with to become
fubferibers, are requeued to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
doled. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent oi the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin 30olbs
of clean cotton per day, with a fma.l
impelling power either cf wind, of wa
ter, or ol horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as tice 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 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day.- For further informa
tion upon this fubjefl I beg lea e to re
fer gentlemen to the underiigned certi
ficate from a relpeTable Cotton Plan
ter of this /late, who has been an eye
witness of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at diiferent times in the
Bahama papers f signed by the molt ref
peTable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made knowt,
upon application * from any gentleman
who may with to become a fubferiber.
Thismachine has met withunr cr,ai ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been lent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGI Ay Chatham County .
I DO certify, that, being on a v ifltfoi
my health to New providence, tne
of the Bahama Islands, I was imltmed t>
make an experiment on Mr, Eve #Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated m the bach
country of the fputhern Hates, ana lent
to Savannah for a fmail quantity there
of, which on experiment I tound to an
swer. The rainy season set ting in a
bout the time 1 received the cotton the
whole was no: ginned, but Mr. Eve al
lured me his machine was -competent,
Irom the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the courie cl a
day* The machine leparates the feect
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the ilap’.e, and, from a
fainple of feed and cotton in polfelfion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinceu oi the truth ol
this opinion. During my flay in Nat
fau 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. U nis machine
is capable of being attached to aimoil any
of thole used for various purposes in this
country ; the conic ruction appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
confequcncr in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
