 •' fwer, unlefs you take her without her tongue. O ! 

 " that woman that cannot make her fault her hufband's 

 *' occafion, let her never nurfe her child herfelf j for

To the Editor of the Bee. 



Ir you think the following worthy of a place in your 

 mifcellany, pleafe infert it. 



^ Receipt for ill ling Rats. 



In 1783, a premium of five guineas was given by the 

 Dublin Society for the following receipt to kill rats. 



Take 1 quart of oat meal, 4 drops of oil of Rhodium, 

 I grain of nuflc, 2 nuts of nux vomica powdered. 

 Mix the wholf together, and place it where the rats 

 frequent ; coi inue to do fo while they eat it, and it 

 ■will foon deftioy them, be they ever fo numerous.
