To Ladies, ExclusiYelY

The suspicious day teeming with Hope ofcoming wealth
fast approaching when the Sd Glass of the rich Delaware
State Lottery will be drawn and With its birth and
pleon, being but the operation of five minutes, make as
srance douby sure Of success by the distribution of High
Prizes.
Indeed so great was the satisfaction acknowledged az
the drawing of the first aud second classes, and much
anxiety expressed for third one, that did believe
there could be ticket for sale at Christmas bu; adven
turers hitherto too tardy for their good be-
coming candidates for prizes, and
Hopes and doubts alternate sway,
Yet, doubts to Hope shall soon give way
This pledge ourselves to prove, forever after oG
our peace But none with lucky tickets from Office
should doubt.
Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose in fearing to attempt
The GoUD We oft might win
Away with tLem!

The last two Lotteries peculiarly fortunate for la
sold principally 10 them. One lady, unknown to her hus
band (Which by the bye is the ucSest wsy) purchased
single ticket for dollars which drew prize of 1000 dol
lars and chosen By Hope! another lady prize OF $500
for tre thus happily, the TWO first classes rolled on;
and why not the third class be equally fortunate The fol-
lowing fact which occurred in the second and third classes
of the Union Canal Lottery in Philadelphia, shews the in
tuitlve minds possessed by Ladies' MIR. Jamison who
drew $4,000 dollar prize, purchased lands in Montgome
y county, adjoining lands of Mr. MIL to whom he related
the fact The news electric he informed his wife,
Who true to her charter never gave him peace till he pur-
chased ticket; she thought, being neighbor to
Mr.. j. her turn would be next. She right, and
attended with peculiar circumstances for her husband had
sold three quarters of her ticket.
What lesson does this hold forth to iordly Man. to
take their wives advice in the purchase OF tickets, if they
did not in other things; aso it would be better, they
would not often squander their time and property the
injury of their health and when applied for articles OK
dress or necessity, give the of purchase with reuc
lance, if at ALL But these chasms ofcomfort may be reme
died why not the third class will be equally fortunate as
the former Why not this good fortune attendant Oh
Hopes office be again and speedily realized and the ap
preaching year be the happest of our lives -Why there
reason but that the ladies putting off the lucky
purchase to the last this putting off the bane of
good iuckpyay avoid it, and you value ease and COM
fort, bauk your inclination. If you purchase
tickets in packages buy single tickets, sares but
dash the cup fortune from your lip else the dregs of
may Stake your thirst.
