THE FORTUNE TELLER'S ALMANAC. % To dream of a mill-stone around your neck is a sign that you may expect, if you marry, an extravagant wife. When a housekeeper dreams of bell ringing, and wakes with the sound of it in her ears, most generally indicates that there is somebody at the door — most probably a gent, who has been sleeping at the cider-cellars. It is very lucky to dream you pay for a thing tyvice over —since afterwards you will probably take care to have all your bills receipted. To dream that you are a Judge, is a sign you will t^main a Batchelor. , To dream of bagpipes is an agreeable omen, on the principle that dreams are to be interpreted y contraries, you may expect to hear music. . To dream of a bear foretokens mischief, which you ''^TrL^o^beerhTsa sign .ha. you may e^ec. To'droamof ^^^Jhows V^lTneVand a dispu.6 at the end'of™, which will probably have some reference .„ the fare. 36 To dream of ice is a favorable omen for a lady, provided she relates her dream to an agreeable young man upon passing a pastry-cook's shop upon a hot day. If you dream of ducking it may be presumed you will escape one, by having the prudence not to venture forth without your umbrella. To see apples in a dream betokens a wedding, because where you find apples you may expect pairs. To dream that you are travelling upon a railway, by the express train, admonishes you that you are going too fast, and intimates that you ought to " pull up." To dream that you are lame is a token that you will got into a hobble. When a young lady dreams of a coffin, it betokens that she should instantly discontinue her tight stays, and al¬ ways go warmly and thickly shod in wet weather. To dream of eggs is a sign that you will discover a mare's nest. — Punch. THOMAS RICHARDS & SON, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL BOOKSELLERS & STATIONERS, AUGUSTA, Ga.
