A LUCKY Fool Will the Crlcdoni1n
INFORM Us who it is III ~. John>bury. that
ha, been lucky enough TO draw six thousand
dollars IN the MARYLAND State Lottery. We

No. really, friend we can't tell YOU. Such
things happen very often. Six thousand dol
',rs is not always the prize, sometimes the
money value OF the ticket isn't dime. New
4r.b.ess, we hold that the fellow who draws
prize in the .Mary-la Lottery is lucky
log, and no Stool" either. We are aware
that our Trasburp contemporary has an I'ds
pendent Siandnri of his own. and is an old
Iachelor to boot; but he shouldn't be too
rusty when he Lears of prize being drawn.
because he draws blanks, should he be angry
that others have prizes? Should lie suppose
lecause the ratcs thwart him. that they never
favor others? Should he estimate the value
Of ticket in the lluy land lottery by dol
lars and cents? Is he stock, or stone, or
senseless thing? Has he no eye for beauty
the flowing tresses Of Venus, the grace Of
Minerva. the dignity Of Juno, and the dry
goods of Mrs. Abigail DcLaine? Has he no
ear for pleasant sounds -no love for goodness
OF heart, amiabi!ity of character, or sweet
ness Of manners: Out upon thee for an Oh
durate old bachelor, if none of these things
