Indeed, 30 great was the satisfaction acknow

and SO much anxiety expressed Tor thrd one,
that we did not believe there could be atlcket for
sale At Christmas; but adyenturers hitherto, toa
tardy for their own good, are now becoming calls
didatcs for prizes; and
Hope and doubts alternate sway,
Yet, doubts to Hope shall soon give way!
This we pledge ourselves to prove, or foreree
after hold our peace. But none With lucky ticks

Our doubts are traitors,
And make US lose in fearing to attempt
