MEN, WOMEN, AND NIMMEN;
OR, A NEW SEX DISCOVERED.


Did the reader ever meet with supposed
sort Of woman, called horse god mother! Is
he acquainted as he very likely Isl with other
varieties Of the species, yclepi eoarse-minded
women, scolds, trolIops, sc. These are not wo-
rae1; Lord help him! they not even females.
Dull are The inouirers that ever took them for
such. They are Mmmen: will explain the
word presently.
Furthermore, did the reader ever see sup
posed sort Of man, called mik-sop? Has he
been puzzled to know what 10 make OF sawncys
m ale -rossips, busy bodies, bobadils, witto!s,
Sc? These are neither men nor males They
are the weaker division of the same uibe OF ami.

man, men; woman, women; and nooman and
nimmen. The word is properly noman, nomen,

The largest animal Of the pretended female
species, is the hOrse-gotmoiher Ii is easily
known by its irrepressble tendency 10 behave
like male lis voice is loud; its gestures con-
fident. 1t has been known to leap five-barred
gate.
The scod has passion for hearing its own
cry; and will run on, gambling and complaining,
from morning ill night. II delights in worry
ing maid servants and good husbands; and has
knack, In proportion as il is tolerated, to cCm-
plain Of ilI-treatment. The truth is, there is
some foundation in The charge. The only way
10 do il real service, is not 10 endure it, for its
passion wears ils"lf OUT at last, as well as its
victims, though not SO speedily
The vixen resembles the scold, but does not
care for making such an eternal noise. 1t has
fits OF grievance; during which il contriyes TO
scold with its eyes, its hens and has, and It's
very silence. The vixen has COMMONLY little
cat-like expression, and Is credibly reported to
have been known To spit.
1t is a tiy sometimes to see the trollop: for il
is not always an i'll patured creature, but so dir
,y, that nobody can touch It, il has an odd mas
sion for clapping on fine feathers and. dirly
stockings; aud will take great tawdly rag.
and drag 1t, with mighty appearance of salts.

There is variety allied the trollop mental:
which, though externally cleaner than The 9th

these creatures will talk, for amusement's sake
like an old drab Of nurse in hospital? How
such beings could be taken for women, l cannot
imagine. Yet have met with preposterous
human creatures, who have thought them hand
some. Others have affirmed, that they would
with pleasure spend an hour or so with yixens
