PATRIOTISM OF THE LADIES.
The Ladies of Maſſachuſetts have ever been distinguiſhed for their patriotiſm; and although their peculiar province is to ſoften the cares, and ſoothe the ſorrows of life, yet they have never neglected any proper and decent opportunity of advancing the publick good:—When the Ladies found that Government had eſtabliſhed a Lottery to eaſe the taxes of the people, they generally became adventurers, and it is pleaſing to find that this their Patriotiſm has been in ſome meaſure rewarded, by their ſex ſharing the FIRST CAPITAL PRIZE.
