SONC. —By Dibdin.
A BATCHELOR leads an easy life,
Few folks that are wed, live better ;
A man may live well with a very good Wife,
But the puzzle is, how to get her ;
There are pretty good wives, and pretty bad wives,
And wives neither one thing nor t'other,
And, as for the wives who (cold all their lives,
I'd sooner wed Adam's grand mother.
Then, ladies and gents, if to marriage inclin'd,
May deceit or ill humor ne'er trap ye !
May those who are tingle get wives to their mind,
And thole who are married, live happy !
Some choose their ladies for ease or for grace,
Or a pretty turn'd foot as they're walking ;
Some choose 'em for figure, and some for a face,
But very few choose 'em for talking.
Now, as for the wife I could follow thro' life,
'Tis (he who can speak sincerely ;
Who, not over nice, can give good advice,
And love a good husband dearly.
So ladies and gents, when to wedlock inclin'd,
May deceit and ill humor ne'er trap ye!
May those who live (ingle,find wives to their mind,
And those who are married live happy.
Directions for Mariners, who trade to the Weft-
Indies, to avoid the Yellow Fever.
The feeds of this disease, we are told are con
veyed to the (hips by the land breeze, during the
night, from the low and marshy grounds in the
neighbourhood of the Welt-India Islands. Sai
lors are pre-difpofed to receive them by their hard
labor and intemperance during the day, and by
Beeping upon deck in the night# To prevent the
reception of the disease, in the above way, sailors
should wash their bodies every morning arid night
in the fait water. Two ships who failed from an
American port preserved their whole crews in
good health by this fimpie precaution, while hun
dreds were dying in the ships around them that
neglefted it. It has been found, that washing the
body twice a day with water, in which a large
quantity of Salt has been dissolved, has preserved
persons in good health who had lived in sickly
countries during the prevalence of autumnal le
vers.
Water Proof.— The following is the Chinese
method for rendering cloth water proof: To one
ounce of white wax (melted) add one quart of
spirits of turpentine ; when thoroughly mixed
and cold, then dip in the cloth into the liquid and
hang it up to drain, till it is thoroughly dry.
By the aoove cheap and easy method, muslin as
well as the strongest cloths will be rendered quite
impenetrable to the beavieft rains, and that with
out the ingredient used either filling up the pores
of the cloth, or injuring in the lealt its texture, or
damaging at all the most brilliant colours.
