 sulted is a certain sign that some dispute will happen 
 between you and some person with whom you have

 •whom you have dealings any advantage over you. 9, 13.

 DOMINOES.

 Five-three. — A visit from a superior. 
 Five-two. — A water party. 
 Five-one. — A love intrigue.

 Doubt^e-four. — Drinking liquor at a dis- 
 tance.

 one and the same month, as they will only de- 
 ceive themselves; shuffle the dominoes each 
 time of choosing; to draw the same dominoe 
 
 twice makes the answer Stronger.

 AUGURY BY DICE. 
 
 This is a certain and innocent way of find- 
 ing out common occurances about to take 
 place. Take three dice, shake them well in 
 the box with your left hand, and then cast 
 them out on a board or table, on which you 
 had previously drawn a circle with chalk, but 
 never throw on a Monday or Wednesday. 
 
 Three. — A pleasing surprise. 
 
 Four. — A disagreeable one. 
 
 Five. — A stranger, who will prove a friend. 
 
 Six. — Loss of property. 
 
 Seven. — Undeserved scandal. 
 
 Eight. — Merited reproach. 
 
 Nine. — A wedding. 
 
 Ten. — A christening, at which some im- 
 portant event will occur to you. 
 
 Eleven. — A death that concerns you . 
 
 Twelve. — A letter, speedily. 
 
 Thirteen. — Tears and sighs. 
 
 Fourteen. — A new admirer. 
 
 Fifteen. — Beware that you are not drawn 
 into some trouble or plot. 
 
 Sixteen. — A pleasant journey. 
 
 Seventeen. — You will either be on the 
 water, or have dealings with those belonging 
 to it, to your advantage. 
 
 Eighteen. — A great profit, rise in life, or 
 some most desirable good will happen almost 
 immediately; for the answers to the dice are 
 always fulfilled within nine days. To show 
 the same number twice at one trial shows news 
 from abroad, be the number what it may. If 
 the dice roll over the circle, the number 
 thrown goes for nothing, but the occurrence 
 shows sharp words, and, if thej r fall to the 
 floor, it is blows; in throwing out the dice, if 
 one remains on the top of the other, it is a 
 present, of which I would have the females 
 take care. 
 
 CURIOUS 
 
 Traditional Observations. 
 
 To Know What Fortune Your Future 
 Husband Will Have. 
 
 Take a walnut, a hazel-nut, and nutmeg; 
 grate them together, and mix them with but- 
 ter and sugar, and. make them up into small 
 pills, of which exactly nine must be taken on 
 going to bed; and according to her dreams, so 
 will be the state of the person she will marry. 
 If a gentleman, of riches; if a clergyman, of 
 white linen; if a lawyer, of darkness; if a 
 a tradesman, of odd noises and tumults; If a 
 soldier or sailor, of thunder and lightning; if 
 a servant, of rain. 
 
 It is not good for a maiden to marry in 
 colors, or a widow in white; yet let her, by all 
 means, avoid green or yellow and the 13th 
 of the month. 
 
 To see a flight of birds as you go to the 
 church on your nuptial day foretells many 
 children. To meet a funeral at the time is 
 ominous of speedy separation. 
 
 The sun to emerge suddenly from behind a 
 cloud and shine on the altar as the nuptials 
 are celebrating is a sure omen of prosperity 
 and connubial love. 
 
 It is unlucky to pick up an odd glove in the 
 street; you had better pass it. 
 
 Never tell a dream till you have broke your 
 fast; if you have the same dream repeated 
 twice or thrice, attend to it; it must have more 
 than common meaning. 
 
 To Find Out the Two First Letters of 
 a Wife's or Husband's Name. 
 
 Take a small Bible and the key of your front 
 street-door, and having opened to Solomon's 
 Songs, chapter 8, verses 6 and 7, place the 
 wards of the key on these two verses, and let 
 the bow of the key be about an inch out of the 
 top of the Bible; then shut the book and tie it 
 round with your garter, so as the key will not 
 move, and the person who wishes to know his 
 or her future husband or wife's signature must 
 suspend the Bible by putting the middle finger 
 of the right hand under the bow of the key, 
 and the other person in like manner on the 
 other side of the bow of the key, who 
 must repeat the following verses, after the 
 other person's saying the alphabet, one letter 
 to each time repeating them. It must be ob- 
 served that you mention to the person who re- 
 peats the verses, before you begin, which you 
 intend to try first, whether surname or Chris- 
 tian name; and take care to hold the Bible 
 stead} r , and when you arrive at the appointed 
 letter, the book will turn round under your 
 finger, and that you will find to be the first 
 letter of your intended's name. 
 
 Solomon's Songs, vih. 6, 7: 
 
 " Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal 
 upon thine arm; for love is strong as death, 
 jealousy is cruel as the grave; the coals there- 
 of are coals of fire, which hath a most ve- 
 hement flame. 
 
 "Many waters cannot quench love, neither 
 can the floods drown it; if a man would give 
 all the substance of Iris house for love, it would 
 utterly be contemned."

 THE YEAR, TO PROCURE BY DREAMS AN 
 INSIGHT INTO FUTURITY, PARTICU- 
 LARLY IN REGARD TO THE AR- 
 TICLE OF MARRIAGE. 
 
 ST. AGNES' DAY. 
 
 Falls on the 21st of January; you must pre- 
 pare yourself by a twenty-four hours' fast, 
 touching nothing but pure spring water, be- 
 ginning at midnight on the 20th to the same 
 again on the 21st; then go to bed, and mind 
 you sleep by yourself; and do not mention 
 what you are trying to any one, or it will 
 break the spell; go to rest on your left side, 
 and. repeat these lines three times: 
 
 St. Agnes be a friend to me 
 
 In the gift I ask of thee; 
 
 Let me this night my husband see — 
 
 and you will dream of your future spouse. If 
 you see more men than one in your dream, 
 you will wed two or three times, but, if you 
 sleep and dream not, you will never marry. 
 
 ST. MAGDALEN. 
 
 Let three young women assemble together 
 on the eve of this saint in an upper apartment, 
 where they are sure not to be disturbed, and 
 let no one try whose age is more than twenty- 
 one, or it breaks the charm; get rum, wine, 
 gin, vinegar, and water, and let each have a 
 hand in preparing the potion. Put it in a 
 ground-glass vessel; no other will do. Then 
 let each young woman dip a sprig of rose- 
 mary in, and fasten it in her bosom, and, tak- 
 ing three sips of the mixture, get into bed; 
 and the three must sleep together, but not a 
 word must be spoken after the ceremony be- 
 gins, and you will have true dreams, and of 
 such a nature that you cannot possibly mis- 
 take your future destiny. It is not particular 
 as to the hour in which you retire to rest. 
 
 STRANGE BED. 
 
 Lay under your pillow a prayer-book, 
 opened at the Matrimonial Service, bound 
 round with the garters you wore that day and 
 a sprig of myrtle, on the page that says, with 
 this ring I thee wed, and your dream will be 
 ominous, and you will have your fortune as 
 well told as if you had paid a crown to an as- 
 trologer. 
 
 A SPELL. 
 
 (To be used at any convenient time.) 
 
 Make a nosegay of various colored flowers, 
 one of a sort, a sprig of rue, and some yarrow 
 off a grave, and bind all together with the 
 hair from your head; sprinkle them with a 
 few drops of the oil of amber, using your left 
 hand, and bind the flowers round your head 
 under your night-cap when you retire to rest; 
 put on clean sheets and linen, and your future 
 fate will appear in your dream. 
 
 PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. 
 
 If you receive a written one, or any declara- 
 tion to that effect in a letter, prick the words 
 with a sharp-pointed needle on a sheet of 
 paper quite clear from any writing; fold in 
 nine folds, and place it under your head when 
 you retire to rest. If you dream of diamonds, 
 castles, or even a clear sk}*, there is no deceit 
 and you will prosper. Trees in blossom, or 
 flowers, show children; washing, or graves, 
 show you will lose them by death; and water 
 shows they are faithful, but that you will go 
 through severe poverty with the party for 
 some time, though all may end well. 
 
 TO KNOW YOUR HUSBAND'S TRADE. 
 
 Exactly at twelve, on Midsummer-day, place 
 a bowl of water in the sun, pour in some boil- 
 ing pewter as the clock is striking, saying thus: 
 
 Here I try a potent spell, 
 Queen of love and Juno tell, 
 In kind love to me, 
 What my husband is to be; 
 This the day, and this the hour, 
 When it seems you have the power 
 For to be a maiden's friend. 
 So, good ladies, condescend. 
 
 A tobacco-pipe full is enough. When the 
 pewter is cold, take it out of the water, and 
 drain it dry in a cloth, and you will find the 
 emblems of your future husband's trade quite 
 plain. If more than one, you will marry 
 twice; if confused and no emblems, you will 
 never marry; a coach shows a gentleman for 
 you. 
 
 A CHRISTMAS SPELL. 
 
 Steep mistletoe berries, to the number of 
 nine, in a mixture of ale, wine, vinegar, and 
 honey; take them on going to bed, and you 
 will dream of your future lot; a storm in this 
 dream is very bad; it is most likely that you 
 will marry a sailor, who will suffer shipwreck 
 at sea; but to see either sun, moon, or stars 
 is an excellent presage; so are flowers; but a 
 coffin is an index of a disappointment in love.

 THE IN INK KEYS. 
 
 Get nine small keys; they must all be your 
 own by begging or purchase (borrowing will 
 not do, nor must you tell what you want them 
 for); plait a three-plaited band of your own 
 hair, and tie them together, fastening the ends 
 with nine knots; fasten them with one of your 
 garters to your left wrist on going to bed, and 
 bind the other garter round your head; then 
 say: 
 
 St. Peter take it not amiss, 
 To try your favor I've done this; 
 You are the ruler of the keys, 
 Favor me, then, if you please; 
 Let me then your influence prove, 
 And see my dear and wedded love. 
 
 This must be done on the eve of St. Peter's. 
 It is an old charm used by the maidens of 
 Rome in ancient times, who put great faith in 
 it. 
 
 THE THREE KEYS. 
 
 Purchase three small keys, each at a dif- 
 ferent place, and, on going to bed, tie them 
 together with your garter, and place them in 
 your left hand glove, along with a small flat 
 dough cake, on which you have pricked the 
 first letters of your sweetheart's name; put 
 them in your bosom when you Tetire to rest; 
 if you are to have that young man, you will 
 dream of him, but not else. 
 
 To Know if a Woman with Child will 
 have a Girl or a Boy. 
 
 Write the proper names of the father and 
 the mother, and the month she conceived with 
 child; count the letters in these words, and di- 
 vide the amount by seven; and then, if the re- 
 mainder be even, it will be a girl; if uneven, it 
 will be a boy. 
 
 To Know if a Child New-Born Shall 
 Iiive or Not. 
 
 Write the proper names of the father and 
 mother, and of the day the child was born; 
 count the letters in these words, and to the 
 amount add twenty-five, and then divide the 
 whole by seven; if the remainder be even, the 
 child shall die, but if it be uneven, the child 
 shall live. 
 
 To Know How Soon a Person will be 
 Married. 
 
 Get a green pea-pod, in which are exactly 
 nine peas; hang it over the door, and then take 
 notice of the next person who comes in, who 
 is not, of the family, nor of the samejsex with 
 yourself, and if it proves an unmarried indi- 
 vidual, you will certainly be married within 
 that year. 
 
 A CHARM. 
 
 (To be used on the eve of any fast directed in the 
 calendar.) 
 
 This takes a week's preparation, for you 
 must abstain from meat or strong drink. Go 
 not to bed till the clock has struck the mid- 
 night hour, and rise before seven the next 
 morning, the whole seven days. You must 
 neither play at cards, or any game of chance, 
 nor enter a place of public diversion. When 
 you go to bed on the night of trial, eat some- 
 thing very salty, and do not drink after it, and 
 you may depend on having very singular 
 dreams; and, being very thirsty, you will 
 probably dream of liquids. Wine is excellent, 
 and shows wealth or promotion; brandy, 
 foreign lands; rum, that you will wed a sailor, 
 or one that gets his living at sea; gin, but a 
 middling life; cordials, variety of fortune; 
 and water, if you drink it, poverty; but to see 
 a clear stream is good. Children are not good 
 to behold in this dream, nor cards, nor dice; 
 they forebode the loss of reputation, or that 
 you will never marry. 
 
 VAL.ENTINE. 
 
 If you receive one of these love tokens, and 
 cannot guess at the party who sent it. or are in 
 any doubt, the following method will explain 
 it to a certainty. Prick the fourth finger on 
 your left hand, and, with a crow quill, write 
 on the back of the valentine the day and hour 
 on which you were born, and the date of the 
 year, also of the present one, the moon's age, 
 and the name of the present morning-star, all 
 of which you will find in the almanac, and the 
 sign into which the sun has entered. Try this 
 on the first Friday after you receive the valen- 
 tine, but do not go to bed till midnight; place 
 the paper in your left shoe, and put it under 
 your pillow; lay on your left side, and repeat 
 three times: 
 
 St. Valentine, pray condescend 
 
 To be this night a maiden's friend; 
 
 Let me now my lover see, 
 
 Be he of high or low degree; 
 
 By a sign his station show, 
 
 Be it weal or be it woe; 
 
 Let him come to my bedside, 
 
 And my fortune thus decide. 
 The young woman will be sure to dream of 
 the identical person who sent the valentine, 
 aud may guess, by the other particulars of the 
 dream, if or not he is to be her spouse. 
 
 YARROW. 
 
 This is a weed commonly found in abun- 
 dance OD graves towards the close of the spring 
 and beginning of the summer. It must be 
 plucked exactly on the first hour of morn; 
 place three sprigs either in your shoe or glove, 
 saying: 
 
GIPSY FOETUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 23 
 
 Good morning, good morning, good yarrow, 
 And thrice a good morning to thee; 
 Tell me before this time to-morrow 
 Who my true love is to be. 
 
 Observe, a young man must pluck the weed 
 off a young maiden's grave, and a female 
 must select that of a bachelor's; retire home 
 to bed without speaking a word, or it dis- 
 solves the spell; put the yarrow under your 
 pillow, and it will procure a sure dream, on 
 which you may depend. 
 
 To Know whether a Woman shall have 
 the Man She Wishes. 
 
 Get two lemon peels and wear them all day, 
 one in each pocket, and at night rub the four 
 posts of the bedstead with them; if she is to 
 succeed, the person will appear in her sleep, 
 and present her with a couple of lemons; if 
 not, there is no hope. 
 
 To Know if any one shall Enjoy their 
 L«ove or not. 
 
 Take the number of the first letter of your 
 name, the number of the planet, and the. day 
 of the week; put all these together, and di- 
 vide them by thirty; if it be above, it will 
 come to your mind, and if below, to the con- 
 trary; and mind that number which exceeds 
 not thirty. 
 
 SIGNS TO CHOOSE 
 
 GOOD HUSBANDS AND WIVES. 
 
 1: If the party be of a ruddy complexion, 
 high and full-nosed, his eyebrows bending 
 archwise, his eyes standing full, of a black 
 and lively color, it denotes him good-natured, 
 ingenious, and born to good fortune, and the 
 like in a woman, if born under the planet 
 Jupiter. 
 
 2. If the party be phlegmatic, lean, and of 
 a dusky complexion, given much to musing 
 and melancholy, beware of such a one, of 
 what sex soever. 
 
 3. An indifferent wide mouth, and full 
 cheeks, smooth forehead, little ears, dark- 
 brown hair, and a chin proportionate to the 
 face, is very promising. 
 
 4. An extraordinarily long chin, with the 
 underlip larger than the upper, signifies a 
 cross-grained person, fit for little business, yet 
 given to folly. 
 
 5. A well-set, broad chin in a man, his face 
 being round, and not too great, and a dimple 
 or dent in a woman's cheek or chin, denotes 
 they will come together and live happily. 
 
 PREDICTIONS CONCERNING 
 
 Children Bom on any Day in tlie Week. 
 
 Sunday. — The child born on Sunday will 
 obtain great riches, be long-lived, and enjoy 
 much happiness. 
 
 Monday. — Children born on this day will 
 not be very successful in most enterprises they 
 may engage in, being irresolute, subject to be 
 imposed upon through their good-natured dis- 
 position; they are generally willing and ready 
 to oblige every one who asks a favor from 
 them. 
 
 Tuesday. — The person born on this day 
 will be subject to violent starts of passion, and 
 not easily reconciled; if a man, given to illicit 
 connections, from which conduct man}' serious 
 consequences and misfortunes will arise, and 
 he will never be safe, being in danger of 
 suffering death by violence, if he does not put 
 a restraint upon his vicious inclinations. 
 
 Wednesday. — The child ushered into the 
 world on this day will be of a studious and se- 
 date turn of mind; and if circumstances will 
 allow T , fond of perusing the literary works of 
 the most talented ancient and modern authors. 
 Should facilities be afforded to such a one, 
 there is every probability of his being a highly- 
 gifted author. 
 
 Thursday. — Those who first see the light 
 on this day may in general have applied to 
 them the appellation of being "born with a 
 silver spoon in their mouths"; for, unless 
 they resolutely spurn from them the Plutonic 
 deity, riches will be poured into their lap with 
 no niggard hand. 
 
 Friday. — The little stranger who first in- 
 hales the vital air on this day will be blessed 
 with a strong constitution, and will be lucky 
 in every enterprise through life, happy in his 
 or her domestic relations, and finally die rich 
 and lamented. 
 
 Saturday. — This is an unlucky day for 
 being ushered into this world of sin and sor- 
 row; but those born on this last day of the 
 week may become good members of society, 
 honored and respected by their fellow- 
 creatures, and blessed by the Almighty. 
 
 To Discover a Thief by the Sieve and 
 Shears. 
 
 Stick the points of the shears in the wood of 
 the sieve, and let two persons support it, 
 balanced upright, with their two fingers; then 
 read a certain chapter in the Bible,- and after- 
 wards ask St. Peter and St. Paul if A or B is 
 the thief, naming all the persous you suspect. 
 On naming the real thief, the sieve will sud- 
 denly turn round about.

 related to you, will occur in a short time. The

 sidered a very fortunate omen. 
 
 May is considered an unlucky month to 
 marry in, therefore avoid doing so if possible.

 first of May, and throw it over your shoulders,

 scribe by its turnings the initials of your fu- 
 ture partner's name.

 up a flight of stairs, should stumble in the

 stairs, then his or her marriage will be imme- 
 diately consummated.

 table, should observe one or more stalks of the 
 tea-plant in the newly-poured-out cup, and if,

 should come close to the spoon-handle, it is a 
 token that he or she will be soon married.

 the family to whom the dog belongs.

 than usually covered with flakes of soot, it is 
 
 a sign that a stranger is about to visit your 
 habitation.

 nocks," are very much thought of by the 
 Scotch. They contain "a little of that sub- 
 stance which chimney-sweeps call soot." In

 stone— one word would destroy the whole con- 
 cern." Each person has one. slips off quietly

 live to any great age.

 day will be fortunate and happy, and well 
 skilled in the arts and sciences. 
 
 THE MYSTERIOUS WATCH. 
 
 Request any person to lend you his watch, 
 and ask him if it will go when laid on the table. 
 He will, no doubt, answer in the affirmative; 
 in which case, place the watch over the end of 
 a concealed magnet, and it will presently stop. 
 Then mark the precise spot where you placed 
 the watch, and moving the point of the mag- 
 net, give the watch to another person, and de- 
 
28

 sire him to make the experiment; in which he 
 not succeeding, give it to a third (at the same 
 time replacing the magnet), and he will im- 
 mediately perform it to the great chagrin of 
 the second party. 
 
 The experiment cannot be effected unless 
 you take the precaution to use a very strongty 
 impregnated magnetic bar, nor unless the 
 balance-wheel of the watch be of steel, which 
 may be ascertained by previously opening it 
 and looking at the works.

 broad and high, the forehead short, hard, and 
 peaked, with bristly hair, large feet, rather

 Astrology is a celestial science that treats of 
 the doctrine of the stars, which are placed in 
 the firmament of heaven for the use and bene- 
 fit of man; and it is proved, by daily observa- 
 tion and experience, that the fate of every per- 
 son in existence is not only written in the 
 heavens at the time of each of their said births, 
 but that the same is also stamped and marked 
 out in the face and hands of every man. The 
 one is called Physiognomy, and the other 
 Chiromancy, or Palmistry — so that the fate of 
 every person is written in three places, at the 
 birth of every individual, viz.: first, in the 
 heavens; secondly, in their faces; and thirdly, 
 in their hands; and I shall therefore proceed 
 to inform your judgment and understanding 
 in the science of pnysiognomy. In the first 
 place, observe the following rules; 
 
 1, The gentleman whose hair is very black 
 and smooth, hanging far over his shoulders, 
 and in large quantity, is mild but resolute; 
 
 cool, until greatly provoked; not much in- 
 clined to excess of any kind, but he may be 
 persuaded to it. He is constant in his attach- 
 ments, and not liable to many misfortunes. 
 
 2. A lady of the same kind of hair is mode- 
 rate in her desires of every kind, addicted to 
 reflection, and though not subject to violence 
 in love, is steady in her attachments, and no 
 enemy to its pleasures; of a constitution 
 neither vigorous nor feeble. 
 
 3. If the hair is very black, short, and curl- 
 ing, the gentleman will be much given to 
 liquor, somewhat quarrelsome, and of an un- 
 settled temper; more amorous, and less steady 
 in his undertakings, but ardent at the begin- 
 ning of an enterprise. He will be desirous of 
 riches, but will often be disappointed in his 
 wishes therein 
 
 4. The same may be said of a lady. 
 
 5. A gentleman with dark-brown, long, and 
 smooth hair is generally of a robust constitu- 
 tion; obstinate in his temper, eager in his pur- 
 suits, a lover of the fair sex, fond of variety, 
 in his ordinary pursuits exceedingly curious, 
 and of a flexible disposition. He will live 
 long, unless guilty of early intemperance. 
 
 6. A lady of the same kind of hair will be 
 nearly the same as the gentleman, but more 
 steady in her conduct -and attachments, es- 
 pecially in love. She will be of a good con- 
 stitution, have many children, enjoy good 
 health, and a reasonable share of happiness. 
 
 7. If the hair is short and bushy, it will 
 make very little alteration in the gentleman or 
 lady, but that the gentleman will be more for- 
 ward to strike when provoked, and the lady 
 will be more of a scold. 
 
 8. A gentleman with light-brown, long, 
 smooth hair is of a peaceable, even, and rather 
 generous temper; will prevent mischief, if in 
 his power, but when very much provoked, 
 will strike furiously; but is afterwards sorry 
 for his passion, and soon appeased: strongly 
 attached to the company of ladies, and will 
 protect them from insult. Upon the whole, 
 lie is in general an amicable character, affable 
 and kind. 
 
 9. A lady of the same kind of hair is ten- 
 der-hearted, but hast} r in temper; neither ob- 
 stinate nor haughty; her inclination to love 
 never unreasonable; her constitution will be 
 good, but she will be seldom very fortunate. 
 
 i0. A gentleman with fair hair will be of a 
 weak constitution; his mind given much tore- 
 flection, especially in religious matters. He 
 
 will be assiduous in Ins occupation, but not 
 given to rambling; very moderate in 
 amorous wishes, but not live to an old age.

 11. A lady of this colored hair is on the con- 
 trary of a good constitution; never to be di- 
 verted from her purposes; passionate in love 
 affairs, never easy unless in company, and 
 delights in hearing herself praised, especially 
 for beauty; delights in dancing and strong 
 exercises, and commonly lives to a great age. 
 
 12. A gentleman with long, red hair is cun- 
 ning, artful and deceitful; he is much addicted 
 to traffic of some kind, restless in his disposi- 
 tion, constantly roving, and desirous of en- 
 joying the pleasures of love. He is covetous 
 of getting money, and spends it foolishly; he 
 is indefatigable, and no obstacle will induce 
 him to forsake his enterprise until he has seen 
 the issue of it. He is inclined to timidity, but, 
 by reflection, may correct it, and pass for a 
 man of courage. 
 
 13. A lady of the same kind of hair is glib of 
 tongue, talkative and vain; her temper is im- 
 patient and fiery, and will not submit to con- 
 tradiction; she has a constant flow of spirits, 
 and much given to the pleasures of love. 
 However delicate her person may seem, her 
 constitution is generally vigorous; but she sel- 
 dom lives to see old age, for obvious reasons; 
 her promises are seldom to be depended upon, 
 because the next object that engrosses her at- 
 tention makes her forgetful of everything that 
 preceded it, and will always resent any disap- 
 pointment she may meet with. 
 
 I will now proceed to give some few in- 
 structions concerning the hair in other parti- 
 culars, by the following remarks: 
 
 14. If the hair falls off at the forepart of the 
 head, the person will be easily led, though 
 otherwise rational, and will often be duped 
 when he thinks he is acting right; he will 
 likewise frequently meet with disappointments 
 in money matters, which will either hurt his 
 credit, or force him to shorten his expenses. 
 
 15. If the hair falls off behind, he will be 
 obstinate, peevish, passionate, and fond of 
 commanding others, though he has no right, 
 and will grow angry if his advice is not fol- 
 lowed. However preposterous, he will be 
 fond of hearing and telling old stories and 
 tales of ghosts and fairies, but will be a good 
 domestic man, and provide for his family to the 
 utmost of his power. 
 
 16. If the hair forms an arch round *the 
 forehead, without being much indented at the 
 temples, both the gentleman and the lady will 
 be innocent, credulous, moderate in all their 
 desires, and though not ardent in their pur- 
 suits, will still be persevering. They will be 
 modest, good-natured, prosperous and happy. 
 
 17. If the hair is indented at the temples, 
 the person will be affable, steady, good- 
 
 natured, prudent, and attentive to business, of 
 a solid constitution, and long-lived. 
 
 18. If the hair descends low upon the fore- 
 head, the person will be selfish and designing; 
 of a surly disposition, unsociable, and given 
 to drinking. He will also be addicted to 
 avarice, and his mind will be always intent 
 upon the means of carrying on his schemes, 
 etc. 
 
 19. The forehead that is large, round and 
 smooth announces the lady or gentleman to be 
 frank, open, generous and free, good-natured, 
 and a safe companion; of a good understand- 
 ing, and scorns to be guilty of any mean ac- 
 tion; faithful to his promises, just in his deal- 
 ings, steadfast in his engagements, and sincere 
 in his affections; he will enjoy a moderate 
 state of health, etc. 
 
 20. If the forehead is flat in the middle, the 
 gentleman (or lady) will be found to be vain- 
 glorious, and but little disposed to generosity; 
 very tenacious of his honor, but brave; he will 
 be fond of prying into the secrets of others, 
 though not with the intention of betraying; 
 them; he will be fond of reading newspapers, 
 history, novels and plays; ardent, and very 
 cautious of his own reputation. 
 
 21. If there be a hollow across the forehead, 
 in the middle, with a ridge, as of flesh, above, 
 and another below, the gentleman will be a 
 good scholar, and the lady a great manufac- 
 turer, or attentive to whatever occupation she 
 may be engaged in. They will be warm in 
 argument or debate — they will be firm and 
 steady in any point they fix their minds upon, 
 and by their perseverance will generally carry 
 their object; yet they will meet with many 
 crosses, but will bear them with patience. 
 
 22. If the forehead juts out immediately at 
 and over the eyebrows, running flat up to the 
 hair, the gentleman or lady will be sullen, 
 proud, insolent, imperious and treacherous; 
 they will be impatient when contradicted, apt 
 to give great abuse, and to strike if they think 
 they can do it with advantage. They will also 
 impose upon any person, never forgiving any 
 injury, and by their misconduct make them- 
 selves man}' enemies. 
 
 23. If the temples are hollow, with the 
 bones advancing towards the forehead on 
 either side, so that the space between must be 
 necessarily flat, with a, small channel or in- 
 denture rising from the upper part of the nose 
 to the hair, the gentleman or lady will be of a 
 daring and intrepid temper, introducing them- 
 selves into matters where the}* - have no busi- 
 ness, desh'ous of passing for wits, and of a 
 subtle and enterprising nature; greedy of 
 praise, quick in quarrel, and of a wandering 
 
32 
 
 GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 disposition; very lewd, and full of resentment 
 when they feel their pride hurt. In short, 
 they delight in mischief, riots, etc. 
 
 24. If the eyebrows are very hairy, and 
 that hair long and curled, with several of the 
 hairs starting out, the gentleman or lady is of 
 a gloomy disposition, litigious and quarrel- 
 some, although a coward; greedy after the af- 
 fairs of this world, perpetually brooding over 
 some melancholy subject, and not an agreeable 
 companion. He will be diffident, penurious, 
 and weak in his understanding; never addicted 
 to any kind of learning. He will pretend 
 much friendship, but will make his affected 
 passion subservient to his pecuniary designs, 
 and also given to drinking, etc., etc. 
 
 25. If a gentleman or lad} r has long e} r e- 
 "brows, with some long hairs, they will be of 
 a fickle disposition, weak-minded, credulous 
 and vain, always seeking after novelties, and 
 neglecting their own business; they will be 
 talkative, pert and disagreeable in company; 
 very fond of contradition, but will not bear 
 disappointment patiently; and also will be 
 much addicted to drinking, etc. 
 
 26. If the eyebrows are thick and even — 
 that is, without any or few starting hairs — the 
 gentleman or lady will be of an agreeable 
 temper, sound understanding and tolerable 
 wit; moderately addicted to pleasure, fearful 
 of giving offence; but intrepid and persever- 
 ing in support of right; charitable and gene- 
 rous, sincere in their professions of love and 
 friendship, and enjoj' a good constitution. 
 
 27. If the eyebrow is small, thin of hair, 
 and even, the gentleman and lady will be 
 weak-minded, timorous, superficial, and not 
 to be depended on ; they will be desirous of 
 knowledge, but will not have patience and as- 
 siduity enough to give it the necessary atten- 
 tion; but they will be desirous of praise for 
 worthy actions, but will not have the spirit or 
 perseverance enough to perform them in that 
 degree of excellence that is requisite to attract 
 the notice of wise men. They will be of a 
 delicate constitution, etc. 
 
 28. If the eyebrow is thick of hair towards 
 the nose, and goes off suddenly very thin, end- 
 ing in a point, the gentleman or lady will be 
 surly, capricious, jealous, fretful and easily 
 provoked to rage; in their love the}' will be 
 intemperate. 
 
 29. The eye that is large, full, prominent, 
 and clear denotes a gentleman or lady to be of 
 an ingenuous and candid disposition, void of 
 deceit, and of an even, agreeable and affable 
 disposition; modest and bashful in love, 
 though by no means an enemy to its gratifica- 
 tion; firm, though not obstinate; of a good 
 understanding, of an agreeable but not bril- 
 
 liant wit; but clear and just in argument, in- 
 clined to extravagance, and easily imposed 
 upon. 
 
 30. The eye that is small but advanced in 
 the head shows the gentleman or lady to be of 
 a quick wit, sound constitution, lively genius, 
 agreeable compan} T and conversation, good 
 morals, but rather inclined to jealously: at- 
 tentive to business, fond of frequently chang- 
 ing his place, punctual in fulfilling his engage- 
 ments, warm in love, prosperous in his under- 
 takings, and generally fortunate in most 
 things. 
 
 31. The gentleman or lady whose eyes are 
 sunk in the head is of a jealous, distrustful, 
 malicious, and envious nature; deceitful in 
 their w ords and actions, never to be depended 
 upon; cunning in over-reaching others, vain- 
 glorious, and associates with lewd and bad 
 company, etc. 
 
 32. The gentleman or lady who squints, or 
 have their eyes turned awiy, will be of a pe- 
 nurious disposition, but punctual in their 
 dealings. 
 
 33. A black eye is lively, brisk, and pene- 
 trating, and proves the person who possesses 
 it to be of a sprightly wit, lively conversation, 
 not easily imposed upon, of a sound under- 
 standing, but, if taken on the weak side, may 
 be led astray for a while. 
 
 34. A hazel eye shows the person to be of a 
 subtle, piercing, and frolicsome turn, rather 
 inclined to be ■ arch, and sometimes mis- 
 chievous, but good-natured at the bottom. He 
 will be strongly inclined to love, and not over 
 delicate in the means of gratifying that pro- 
 pensity. 
 
 35. A blue eye shows the person to be of a 
 meek and gentle temper, affable and good- 
 natured, credulous, and incapable of violent 
 attachments; ever modest, cool, and undis*- 
 turbed by turbulent passions; of a strong 
 memory; in constitution, neither robust nor 
 delicate, subject to no violent impression from 
 the vicissitudes of life, whether good or bad. 
 
 36. A gray eye denotes the person to be of 
 a weak intellect, devoid of wit, but a plain, 
 plodding, downright drudge, that will act as 
 he is spirited up by others. He will be slow 
 in learning anything that requires attention; 
 he, however, will be just to the best of his un- 
 derstanding. 
 
 37. A wall eye denotes the person to be of 
 a hasty, passionate, and ungovernable temper, 
 
 subject to sudden and violent anger; haughty 
 to equals and superiors, but mild and affable 
 
 to his inferiors. 
 
 88. A red, or as it is vulgarly called, a 
 saucer-eve, denotes the person to be selfish, 
 deceitful, and proud, and furious in anger,

 33 
 
 fertile in the invention of plots, and indefati- 
 gable in bis resolution to bring them to. bear. 
 
 39. A nose that comes even on the ridge, 
 flat on the sides, with little or no hollow be- 
 tween the eyes, declares the man to be sulky, 
 insolent, disdainful, treacherous, and self-suf- 
 ficient; if it has a point descending over the 
 nostrils, he is avaricious and unfeeling, vain- 
 glorious and ignorant; peevish, jealous, quick 
 in resentment, yet a coward at the bottom. 
 
 40. A nose that rises with a sudden bulge a 
 little below the eyes, and then falls again into 
 a kind of hollow below, is petulant and noisy, 
 void of science, and of a very light under- 
 standing. . 
 
 41. The nose that is small, slender and 
 peaked shows the person to be of a fearful dis- 
 position, jealous, fretful, and insidious, ever 
 suspicious of those about him, catching at 
 ever}' word that he can interpret to his own 
 advantage to ground his dispute upon, and also 
 very curious to know what is said and done. 
 
 42. The nose that is small, tapering round 
 in the nostrils, and cocked up, shows the per- 
 son to be ingenuous, smart, of a quick appre- 
 hension, giddy, and seldom looking into con- 
 sequences; but generous, agreeable, so as to 
 carefully avoid giving offence; but resolute in 
 doing himself justice when he receives an in- 
 jury- 
 
 43. The lips that are thick, soft and long 
 announces the person to be of a weak intellect, 
 credulous, and slightly peevish; but by a little 
 soothing easily brought back to a good humor. 
 He is much addicted to the pleasures of love, 
 and scarcely moderate in his enjoyment of 
 them; yet he is upright in his conduct, and of 
 a timorous temper. 
 
 44. If the underlip is much thicker than the 
 upper, and more prominent, the person is of a 
 weak understanding, but artful, knavish, and 
 given to chicanery to the full extent of his 
 ability. 
 
 45. The lips that are moderately plump and 
 even declare the person to be good-humored, 
 humane, sensible, judicious, and just; neither 
 giddy nor torpid, but pursuing in every parti- 
 cular a just medium. 
 
 46. The lips that are thin show the person 
 to be of a quick and lively imagination, ardent 
 in the pursuit of knowledge, indefatigable in 
 labor, not too much attached to money, eager 
 in the pursuit of love, more brave than other- 
 wise, and tolerably happy in life. 
 
 47. The lips that are thin and sunk inwards 
 denote the person to be of a subtle and per- 
 severing disposition, everlasting in hatred, 
 and never sparing any pains to compass his 
 revenge; in love or friendship much more 
 moderate and uncertain. 
 
 48. The chin that is round, with a hollow 
 between it and the lip, shows the person to be 
 of a good-humored disposition, kind and 
 honest; he is sincere in his friendship, and ar- 
 dent in his love; his understanding is good, 
 and his genius capacious. If he has a dimple, 
 it makes him better. 
 
 49. The chin that comes down flat from the 
 edge of the lip and ends in a kind of chisel- 
 form shows the person to be silly, credulous, 
 ill-tempered, and greedy of unmerited honors; 
 captious, wavering, and unsteady; he will af- 
 fect great modesty in the. presence of others, 
 though he will not scruple to do the vilest ac- 
 tions when he thinks himself secure from dis- 
 covery. 
 
 50. The chin that is pointed upwards shows 
 the person to be much given to contrivances. 
 However fair he may speak to you, you can 
 never depend on his friendship, as his purpose 
 is only to make you subservient to his own de- 
 signs. In love his generosity will be of the 
 same stamp. 
 
 51. Of the face in general, I shall say that 
 the person whose features are strong, coarse, 
 and unpleasant to the eye is of a selfish, brutal, 
 rough, and unsociable disposition; greedy of 
 money, harsh in expressions, but will some- 
 times fawn with a bad grace to gain his ends. 
 
 52. The face that is plump, round, and rud- 
 dy denotes the person to be of an agreeable 
 temper, a safe companion, hearty, and jovial, 
 fond of company, of sound principles and a 
 clear understanding, faithful in love, etc. 
 
 53. The face that is thin, smooth, and even, 
 with well-proportioned features, shows the 
 person to be of a good disposition, but pene- 
 trating and active; somewhat inclined to sus- 
 picion, yet of an agreeable conversation; assi- 
 duous in the pursuits of love, and strongly ad- 
 dicted to the delights of love. 
 
 54. A face whose cheek-bones jut out with 
 thin jaws is of a restless and thinking disposi- 
 tion; fretful, etc. 
 
 55. A face that is pale by nature denotes a 
 timorous disposition, but greatly desirous of 
 carnal pleasures. 
 
 56. A face that is unequally red, whether 
 streaked or appearing in spots, shows the per- 
 son to be weak both in mind and body, yield- 
 ing easily to affliction and sickness. 
 
 57. A face blotched shows the person to be 
 addicted to drinking and vice, and not even 
 free from any vice, though they have fre- 
 quently the art to conceal the inclination. 
 
 58. The head that is large and round shows 
 that the person has a tolerable understanding, 
 but not near so good as he imagines; however, 
 upon the whole, he is rather harmless, and not 
 so much given to vice.

 59. The bead that is small and round, or if 
 the face comes tapering, shows the person of 
 an acute, penetrating disposition, much given 
 to bantering and humor, but of very great 
 sensibility, etc. 
 
 60. The head that is fiat on either side, and 
 deep from the face to the back, shows the per- 
 son to be of a good understanding, deep pene- 
 tration, great memory, and of an even and 
 agreeable temper, but of slow belief, and not 
 easily imposed upon. 
 
 NATIVITY. 
 
 TO CAST YOUR NATIVITY. 
 
 Having ascertained the exact time of your 
 birth, and the hour in which you entered this 
 transitory life, procure a Moore's almanac of 
 that year, which will direct you to the sign 
 that then reigned, the name of the planets, 
 and the state of the moon; particularly ob- 
 serve whether the sun was just entering the 
 sign, whether it was near the end, or what 
 was its particular progress; if at the begin- 
 ning, your fate will be strongly tinctured with 
 its properties, moderate at the meridian, and 
 slightly if the sun is nearly going out of the 
 sign. 
 
 Write down the day of the week; see 
 whether it is a lucky day or not, the state of 
 the moon, the nature of the planets, and the 
 influence described next, and you will ascer- 
 tain your future destiny with very little 
 trouble. 
 
 JANUARY. 
 
 (Aquarius, or the Water Bearer.) 
 
 Gives a love of wandering and variety, sel- 
 dom contented long in one place; soon af- 
 fronted, and slow to forgive; fond of law, 
 though they lose the day. They are unhappy. 
 Mercury gives them slights in love. A full 
 moon is the best, for a new moon only adds to 
 their false fears; and Saturn gives them real 
 trouble to content with. 
 
 FEBRUARY. 
 
 (Pisces, or the Fishes.) 
 
 Those born under the influence of this 
 planet prosper best on the ocean, or at a dis- 
 tance from their native home. But those horn 
 under this sign, and not ordained to travel, 
 will experience at times more or less distress. 
 Mars and Jupiter are the best planets, and if 
 the day of the week on which they were horn 
 be a fortunate one, let them begin their fresh 
 concerns on that day, write and answer let- 
 ters, or seek for money due to them accord- 
 
 ing totheir rule, and they have more than a 
 chance for prosperity. The female traveller 
 will be very fortunate, and have a contempt 
 for danger, yet neither her disposition nor 
 manners will be masculine; she will make an 
 excellent wife and mother, and, if left a widow 
 with children, will strive for their interest 
 with a father's care and prudence; nor will she 
 wed a second time, unless Venus rules her 
 destiny. Mars give her success; Jupiter, vigi- 
 lance; a new moon, virtue; a full moon, some 
 enemies; and Saturn, temptation; yet she will 
 prosper. 
 
 MARCH. 
 
 (Aries, or the Ram.) 
 
 A very good sign to those born under it. 
 To either sex denotes prosperity, fidelity, 
 dutiful children, and many liberal friends, but 
 hot-tempered; if Mercury is one of the planets, 
 they will then be very amiable. Jupiter and 
 Venus are also good planets to them, but Mars 
 or Saturn causes a sad alteration to their gene- 
 ral destiny, and gives a mixed life of pain and 
 pleasure. Venus reigning alone as a morning 
 star at the time of their birth, causes them 
 many amours. 
 
 APRIL. 
 
 (Taurus, or the Bull.) 
 
 To be prosperous under this sign will re- 
 quire active industry and patience under mis- 
 fortunes and perils; but Jupiter, Venus, or 
 the new moon, will soften this destiny. The 
 men will be bold and adventurous, fond of 
 governing, and hard to please; they must be 
 careful not to enter on any fresh concern 
 while their sign has the ascendency, the end 
 of April and the two first weeks in May. 
 
 MAY. 
 
 (Gemini, or the Twins.) 
 Very fortunate for females, particularly in 
 the grand article of matrimony, though they 
 will prosper well in other affairs; the full 
 moon and Venus are good for them. They will 
 be punctual and honest in their dealings, he 
 much respected by their friends and neigh- 
 bors, and have many children. 
 
 JUNE. 
 
 (Cancer, or the Crab.) 
 
 A prosperous but eventful sign to both 
 sexes, but more particularly those of Q fair 
 complexion; they will be exalted in life; 
 Jupiter and Venus are the best signs for them; 
 hut, the brunettes, though fortunate, will 
 plague themselves and others with whims, 
 jealousies, and ill-nature, and may be very

 particular about mere trifles, If Mars be their 
 planet, they will enter into lawsuits; and if 
 Saturn, let them beware of ungovernable pas- 
 sions. 
 
 JULY. 
 
 (Leo, or the Lion.) 
 
 Favorable to those born in poverty, but not 
 to the rich; for this sign always shows a great 
 change of circumstances about the meridian 
 of our days, sooner or later, according to the 
 sign in which you were born. If Jupiter be 
 the planet, the person born poor will become 
 rich by legacies, or will probably marry their 
 master or mistress, or his or her son or daugh- 
 ter, according to their sex, and lead a happy 
 life. This has often proved true. 
 
 AUGUST. 
 
 (Virgo, or the Virgin.) 
 
 A most important sign; the men brave, gen- 
 erous, candid, and honest; the females amia- 
 ble and prosperous, if they do not mar their 
 own fortune by love of flattery, to which they 
 will be prone, or else advancement awaits 
 them. Venus is not a good planet for 
 them, and Saturn shows seduction; but, if 
 neither of these three planets predominate at 
 the time of their birth, they will marry early, 
 have good children, and enjoy the most valu- 
 able blessings of life, and have many unex- 
 pected gains. 
 
 SEPTEMBER. 
 
 (Libra, or the Balance.) 
 A middle course of life is promised by this 
 sign; a smooth, even, unrippled stream, free 
 from storms or sudden changes; in fact, an 
 enviable destiny. The persons now born will 
 be just in their transactions, faithful in love 
 and wedlock, and averse to litigation and law; 
 not many children, but those healthy. 
 
 OCTOBER. 
 
 (Scorpio, or the Scorpion.) 
 To the man, promises a long, active, useful 
 life, and an intelligent mind; prosperous and 
 very careful of what he gains; a good hus- 
 band, parent and master, and a sincere friend; 
 a little gay in his youthful days, but not 
 vicious. Jupiter and a full moon adds to the 
 good of his destiny; Saturn or Mercury will 
 detract from it; Venus inclines him to the fair 
 sex. To the woman this sign shows indolence ; 
 and, if she is well off in the world, it will not 
 be by her own merit or industry, for she will 
 have to thank those to whom it is her good 
 fortune to be nearly allied; but, if she has no 
 shining qualities that are prominent, she will 
 be free from evil propensities, and will never 
 
 bring disgrace on herself, her husband, her 
 family, or friends, unless Venus reigned at 
 her birth; then I fear for her; but no other 
 planet will affect her destiny. 
 
 NOVEMBER. 
 
 (Sagittarius, or the Archer.) 
 
 Gives to both sexes an amorous disposition, 
 and, if Venus or Mercury presides at their 
 birth, they will love variety; but Jupiter and 
 Mars are good for them; the new moon is ex- 
 cellent to the female, and full to the man. It 
 is seldom that persons born in this sign marry, 
 if the first-mentioned planets reign; or, if they 
 do marry, it is late in life, or when the meri- 
 dian of their days are over, and they are be- 
 come wise enough to relinquish folly; they 
 then become steady and prudent, and generally 
 do well; they seldom have many children, but 
 what they have will prosper, and have friends 
 who will promote their interest. 
 
 DECEMBER. 
 
 (Capricorn, or the Goat.) 
 
 Shows you will work and toil, and others 
 reap the benefit of your labor, unless marriage 
 alters the destiny; but hard will be your fate 
 if your spouse is of the same sign as yourself; 
 but, if Jupiter be one of the planets at your 
 birth, the end of your days will be more pros- 
 perous than the beginning, after experiencing 
 many cares and obstructions. A woman may 
 probably better her fate by a second marriage, 
 especially if Venus be her planet. 
 
 Lave Presents airi Witching Spells. 
 
 Take three hairs from your head, roll them 
 up in a small compact form, and anoint them 
 with three drops of blood from the left-hand 
 fourth finger, choosing this because the anato- 
 mists say a vein goes from that finger to the 
 heart; wear this in your bosom (taking care 
 that none knows the secret) for nine days and 
 nights; then enclose the hair in the secret 
 cavity of a ring or a brooch, and present it to 
 ycur lover. While it is in his possession, it 
 will have the effect of preserving his love, and 
 leading his mind to dwell on you. A chain or 
 plait of your own hair, mixed with that of a 
 goat, and anointed with nine drops of the es- 
 sence of ambergris, will have a similar effect. 
 Flowers prepared with your own blood will 
 have an effect on your lover's mind; but the 
 impression will be very transient, and fade 
 with the flowers. If your love should be for- 
 tunate, and you are married to the object of 
 your wishes, never reveal to him the nature of 
 the present you made him, or it may have the 
 fatal effect of turning love into hate.

 HOW TO OBTAIN 
 
 Happiness and Affluence 
 
 IN THE MARRIAGE STATE. 
 
 " There isVa tide in the affairs of men which, 
 taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." 
 He that by the plow would thrive, 
 Himself must either hold or drive. 
 For age and want save while you may, 
 No morning's sun lasts a whole day. 
 Get what you can, and what you get hold; 
 'Tis a stone that will turn all your lead to gold. 
 Therefore be ruled by me, I pray — 
 Save something for a rainy day. 
 
 Remember that time is money; for he that 
 can earn ten shillings a day at his labor and 
 goes abroad or sits idle at home one-half of 
 that day, though he spend but sixpence dur- 
 ing his diversion or idleness, he ought not to 
 reckon that the only expense; he hath really 
 wasted, or, rather, thrown away, five shillings 
 besides. 
 
 Remember that credit is money. If a man 
 let his money lay in my hands after it is due, 
 because he has a good opinion of my credit, 
 he gives me the interest, or so much as I can 
 make of the money during that time. This 
 amounts to a very considerable sum where a 
 man hath large credit, and also makes good 
 use of it. 
 
 Remember that money is of a prolific or 
 multiplying nature. Money will produce 
 money, and its offspring will produce more; 
 and so five shillings turned is six; being 
 turned again is seven and three-pence; and so 
 on, till it becomes a hundred pounds; and the 
 more there is of it, the more it will produce 
 on every turning, so that the profits rise 
 quicker and quicker; and he who throws 
 away a crown destroys all that it might have 
 produced, even some scores of pounds. 
 
 Remember this proverb: that the good pay- 
 master is lord of another man's purse; for he 
 who is known to pay punctually and exactly 
 to the time he promises, may, at any time, and 
 on any occasion, raise all the money his friends 
 can spare. This is sometimes of great use, 
 next to industry and frugality. Nothing can 
 contribute more to the raising of a man in the 
 world than punctuality in all his dealings. 
 Therefore, never keep borrowed money one 
 single hour beyond the time promised, lest the 
 disappointment should shut up your friend's 
 purse forever, as the most trilling actions that 
 affect a man's credit ought always to be 
 avoided. 
 
 The BOUnd of the hammer at live o'clock in 
 the morning, or at nine at night, being heard 
 by a creditor, makes him easy six months 
 
 longer; but if he sees you at a gaming table, 
 or hears your voice in a tavern when you 
 should be at work, he sends for his money the 
 very next day, and demands it before it is con- 
 venient for you to pay him. 
 
 Beware of thinking all your own that you 
 possess, and of living accordingly. This is a 
 mistake that many people of credit fall into; 
 but, in order to prevent this, always keep an 
 exact daily account of both your expenses, 
 and also of your daily income and profits; for, 
 if you will only just take the trouble at first to 
 enumerate particulars, you will discover unto 
 you how wonderfully small, trifling expenses 
 mount up to a large sum; by w T hich you will 
 also discern what might have been, and also 
 What may for the future be saved without 
 causing any great inconvenience. In short, 
 the way to obtain riches, if you desire it, is as 
 plain as the way to market, which depends 
 chiefly on two things, viz.: industry and fru- 
 gality. And take care that you waste neither 
 time nor money, but daily make the best use 
 of both. If you take care of the hours and 
 days, the weeks and months and years will 
 also take care of themselves. 
 
 I have always found, by constant ex- 
 perience, that any business, being first well 
 contrived, is more than half done — for a sleep- 
 ing fox catches no poultry. There will be 
 sleep enough in the grave; and, also, that lost 
 time is but seldom found again, for that 
 which we generally call time enough always 
 proves little enough; for sloth makes things 
 difficult, while industry makes them easy. 
 
 He that rises late must trot hard all day, 
 and shall scarce overtake his business at night 
 — for laziness travels so slow that poverty soon 
 overtakes him. Drive your business, but let 
 not that drive you; for early to bed and early 
 to rise is the way to become healthy, wealthy, 
 and wise. Industry need not want while he 
 who lives on a vain hope will die fasting; for 
 we find that there is nothing to be done or ac- 
 complished under the sun without labor. 
 
 He that hath a trade hath an estate, and he 
 that hath a profession hath an office and profit 
 with honor, but then the trade must be worked 
 at. and the profession well followed, or they 
 will not enable you to pay rent and taxes; for, 
 at the working-man's house, hunger looks in, 
 but dares not enter — for industry pays debts, 
 while despair increases them. 
 
 Diligence is the mother of good luck. As 
 Solomon saith: "The diligent hand maketh 
 rich, while he that dealeth with a slack hand 
 becometh poor;" for God gives all things to 
 industry. Thtto plough deep icJiik sluggards 
 ■sleep, and you shall have plenty, while others 
 have reason to complain of hard times. There- 
 fore, keep working while it is called to-day. 
 
GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK.

 for you know not how much you may be 
 hindered to-morrow; and never leave that 
 business to be done to-morrow which you can 
 do to-day; for, since you are not sure of a 
 single hour, throw not that away. How 
 many are there who live daily by their wits, 
 and who often break for want of a stock in 
 hand, while industry gives comfort, plenty 
 and respect. 
 
 Keep your shop well and then your shop 
 will keep you. For it sometimes happens 
 that the eye of a master will do more work 
 than both his hands, and more especially if 
 his head be any reasonable length; for the 
 want of care generally doth more damage than 
 the want of knowledge. If you do not over- 
 look your workmen, you may just as well 
 leave them your purse open; for the trusting 
 too much to the care of others has completely 
 ruined many a man. Therefore, if you would 
 be wealthy, think of being careful and saving; 
 for 
 
 "Women, wine, game, and deceit 
 
 Make the wealth small and the wants great." 
 
 HOW TO MAKE THE DUMB -CAKE. 
 
 In order to make the dumb-cake with per- 
 fection, it is necessary strictly to observe the 
 following instructions: 
 
 Let any number of young women take a 
 handful of wheaten flour (and from the mo- 
 ment the hand touches the flour, not a word is 
 to be spoken by any of them during the pro- 
 cess) and place it on a sheet of white paper; 
 then sprinkle it over with as much salt as can 
 be held betwixt the finger and thumb; then 
 one of the damsels must bestow as much of 
 her own water as will make it into dough; 
 which being done, each of the company must 
 roll it up, and spread it thin and broad; and 
 each person must, at some distance from each 
 other, make the first letters of her Christian 
 and surname with a large, new pin towards 
 the end of the cake (if more Christian names 
 than one, the first letter of each must be made). 
 The cake must then be set before the fire, and 
 each person must sit down in a chair, as far 
 distant from the fire as the room will admit, 
 not speaking a single word all this while. 
 
 This must be done soon after eleven at 
 night, and between that and twelve each per- 
 son must turn the cake once; and in a few 
 minutes after twelve the husband of her who 
 is to be the first married will appear to lay his 
 hand on that part of the cake which is marked 
 with her name. 
 
 MOLES. 
 
 Time-honored predictions of a per- 
 son's disposition and future lot 
 by the aid of Moles. 
 
 Though moles are, in their substance, no- 
 thing else than excrescences, or ebullitions, 
 which proceed from the state of the blood 
 whilst the foetus is confined in the womb, yet . 
 they are not given in vain, as they are gene- 
 rally characteristic of the disposition and 
 temper of those that bear them ; a*ud it is also 
 proved by daily experience that from the 
 shape, situation, and circumstances they bear 
 a strong analogy to the events which are to 
 happen to a person in future life. But before 
 I presume to give any directions to those who 
 are to form the prognostic, who are desirous 
 to be duly enabled to pronounce an infallible 
 judgment, I shall, in the first place, teach you 
 how to tell and duly inform any person whom 
 you never saw in your life, even at a hundred 
 or ten thousand miles distance, on what par- 
 ticular parts of the body they have any. 
 
 MARKS, SCARS, OR MOLES. 
 
 FROM AND BY THE FIGURE OF THE HEAVENS 
 AT THE TIME OF THEIR BIRTH, WITHOUT 
 ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION OR REFE- 
 RENCE WHATEVER. 
 
 In the first place, you must observe what sign 
 that is which is upon the cusp of the ascendent, 
 and in that part of the native's body which 
 that signs governs there will be a mole. For 
 instance, if Aries be the sign ascending at 
 birth, the mole will be on the head or face; if 
 Taurus, on neck or throat; if Gemini, on the 
 arms or shoulders; if Cancer, on the breast; 
 and upon any other part of the body which the 
 sign ascending shall govern. Observe next in 
 which of the houses the lord of the ascendent 
 is posited, and in that part of the body the 
 sign governs which happens to fall upon the 
 cusp of that house, the native will have an- 
 other mole. Next observe the sign descend- 
 ing on the cusp of the sixth house, and in 
 whatever part of the body that sign governs 
 the native will find another mole; and upon 
 that member also which is signified by the 
 sign wherein the lord of the sixth house is 
 posited will be found another. Observe also 
 what sign the moon is posited in, and in that 
 part of the body which is governed by it 
 shall the native or querent find another mole. 
 If the planet Saturn be the significator, the 
 mole is either black or of a dark color. If 
 Mars be the significator, and in a fiery sign, it 
 
38 
 
 GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 then resembles a scar, cut, or dent in the flesh, 
 but in any other sign it is a red mole. If 
 Jupiter be the significator, the mole is of a 
 purple or bluish cast. If the sun, it is of an 
 olive or chestnut color. If Venus, it is yellow ; 
 if Mercury, of a pale lead color; if the Moon, 
 it is whitish, or participates of the color of 
 that planet which she happens to be in aspect. 
 And if the planet which gives the mole be 
 much impedited or afflicted, the mark or mole 
 will then be larger or more visible to the eye 
 of the beholder. 
 
 If the sign and planet which gives the mark 
 or mole be masculine, it is then situated on 
 the right side of the body; but, if feminine, 
 on the left side. If the significator or planet 
 which gives the mole be found above the 
 horizon — that is, from the cusp of the ascend- 
 ent to the cusp of the seventh, either in the 
 twelfth, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth, or 
 seventh house — the mark or mole will be on 
 the forepart of the body; but if the significator 
 be under the earth — that is, in either the first, 
 second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth house — 
 it will be situated on the back or hinder part 
 of the body. If only a few degrees of the 
 sign ascend upon the horoscope, or descend on 
 the sixth, or if the lord of the ascendent, lord 
 of the sixth, or the moon, be posited in the 
 beginning of any sign, the said mole or mark 
 will be found upon the member those signs 
 govern. If half the degrees of a sign ascend, 
 or the significators are posited in the middle of 
 any sign, the mole or mark will be in the mid- 
 dle of the member; but if the last degrees of a 
 sign ascend, or the significators are in the lat- 
 ter degrees of a sign, the said mark or mole 
 will then be situated on the lower part of the 
 member such sign governs. 
 
 These observations are of excellent use, in 
 order to know whether a question be logical, 
 fit, and proper to be judged; for if the ques- 
 tion be found thus radical, the time rightly 
 taken, and the querent of sufficient age, this 
 rule will never be found to fail. 
 
 1. I shall now proceed to give you herein 
 the common prognostications by moles found 
 in all the various parts of the body, according 
 to the doctrine of the ancients. And first, it 
 is essentially necessary to know the size of the 
 mole, its color, whether it be perfectly round, 
 oblong, or angular; because each of these will 
 add to or diminish the force of the indication. 
 The larger the mole, the greater the pros- 
 perity or adversity of the person; the smaller 
 the mole, the less will be his good or evil fate. 
 If the mole is round, it indicates good; if ob- 
 long, a moderate share of fortunate events; if 
 angular, it gives a mixture Of good and evil; 
 the deeper the color, the more it announces 
 favor or disgrace; the lighter, the less of either. 
 
 If it is very hairy, much misfortune may be 
 expected; if but few long hairs grow upon it, 
 it denotes that your undertakings will be pros 
 perous. 
 
 2. A mole that stands on the right side of 
 the forehead or right temple signifies that the 
 person will arrive to sudden wealth and honor, 
 according to their birth and situation in life; 
 which must always be attended to with due 
 consideration. 
 
 3. A mole on the right eyebrow announces 
 speedy marriage, and that the person to whom 
 you will be married will possess many amiable 
 qualities and a good fortune. 
 
 4. A mole on the left of either of those three 
 places anounces unexpected disappointment in 
 your most sanguine wishes. 
 
 5. A mole on the outside corner of either 
 eye denotes the person to be of a steady, sober, 
 and sedate disposition; but will be liable to a 
 violent death. 
 
 6. A mole on either cheek signifies that the 
 person never shall rise abbve mediocrity in 
 point of fortune, though, at the same time, he 
 never will fall into real poverty. 
 
 7. A mole on the nose shows that the per- 
 son will have good success in most of his or 
 her undertakings. 
 
 8. A mole on the lip, either upper or lower, 
 proves the person to be fond of delicate things, 
 and much given to the pleasures of love, in 
 which he or she will most commonly be suc- 
 cessful. 
 
 9. A mole on the chin foreshows that the 
 person will be attended with great prosperity, 
 and be highly esteemed. 
 
 10. A mole on the side of the neck shows 
 that the person will narrowly escape suffoca- 
 tion; but will afterwards rise to great con- 
 sideration by an unexpected legacy or in- 
 heritance. 
 
 11. A mole on the throat denotes that the 
 person shall become rich by marriage. 
 
 12. A mole on the right breast declares the 
 person to be exposed to a sudden reverse from 
 comfort to distress by unavoidable accidents. 
 Most of his children will be girls. 
 
 IB. A mole on the left breast signifies suc- 
 cess in undertakings, and an amorous disposi- 
 tion. Most of his children will be boys, 
 
 14. A mole on the bosom portends me- 
 diocrity of health and fortune. 
 
 15. A mole under the left breast, over the 
 heart, foreshows that a man will be of a warm 
 disposition, unsettled in mind, fond of ramb- 
 ling, and light in his conduct, hi a lady it 
 shows sincerity in love, quick conception, and 
 easy travail in child-birth.

 16. A mole on the right side, over any part 
 of the ribs, denotes the person to be pusillani- 
 mous, and slow in understanding anything 
 that may be attended with difficulty. 
 
 17. A mole on the belly denotes the person 
 to be addicted to sloth and gluttony, selfish in 
 almost everything, and seldom inclined to be 
 nice or careful in point of dress. 
 
 18. A mole on either hip shows that the 
 person will have many children, and that such 
 of them as survive will be healthful, lusty, 
 and patient in all hardships. 
 
 19. A mole on the right thigh shows that 
 the person will become rich, and also for- 
 tunate in marriage. 
 
 20. A mole on the left thigh denotes that 
 the person suffers much by poverty and want 
 of friends, as also by the enmity and injustice 
 of others. 
 
 21. A mole on the right knee signifies that 
 the person will be fortunate in the choice of a 
 partner for life, and meet with few disap- 
 pointments in the world. 
 
 22. A mole on the left knee portends that 
 the person will be rash, inconsiderate and 
 hasty, but modest when in cool blood, honest, 
 and inclined to good' behavior. 
 
 23. A mole on either leg shows that the 
 person is indolent, thoughtless, and indifferent 
 as to whatever may happen. 
 
 24. A mole on either ankle denotes a man 
 to be inclined to effeminacy and elegancy of 
 dress; a lady, to be courageous, active, and in- 
 dustrious, with some spice of the termagant. 
 
 Various are the opinions of authors respect- 
 ing this art of divination by moles, but the 
 above-mentioned definitions appear to me to 
 come as near the truth as possible. However, 
 the best way of giving judgment upon the 
 fate of any native is first to duly examine the 
 face of the heavens at the time of their birth ; 
 then, secondly, judge the same by their whole 
 assemblage of features, contained in the never- 
 failing and well-established rules of physiog- 
 nomy; then, thirdly, by comparing your said 
 judgment in all the above-mentioned sciences 
 with this said prognostication of moles; you 
 will then see how they agree in respect to 
 their several accounts, which are thus to be 
 derived from them, always remembering that 
 the major number of testimonies and the 
 most votes will always carry the day. 
 
 A LENT CHARM. 
 
 To be tried on any Friday in Lent, Good 
 Friday excepted, when it is improper to try 
 anything of the kind, and the mind ought to 
 be "more seriously disposed. Write twelve let- 
 ters of the common alphabet on several pieces 
 
 of card, also twelve figures, and the same num- 
 ber of blank cards; then put them in a bag and 
 shake them well, and let each present draw one;

 How to Tell a Person's Fortune by 
 Cards. 
 
 As many of those events about to happen 
 may be easily gathered from the cards, we have 
 here affixed the definition which each card in 
 the pack bears separately; by combining them 
 the reader must judge for himself, observing 
 the following directions in laying them out: 
 First, the person whose fortune is to be told, if 
 a man, must choose one of the four kings to 
 represent himself — if a woman, she must se- 
 lect one of the queens; the chosen card will 
 stand for the husband or wife, mistress or 
 lover of the party whose fortune is to be told, 
 and the knave of the suit for the most inti- 
 mate person of their family; you must then 
 shuffle and cut the cards well, and let the per- 
 son whose fortune is to be ascertained cut 
 them three times, showing the bottom card; 
 this must be repeated three times; then shuffle 
 them again, let them be cut once, and display 
 them in rows on a table, taking care always to 
 have an odd number in each row, nine is the 
 right number, and to place your cards exact- 
 ly under each other; after this consult the 
 situation in which the person stands by the 
 definition we have here annexed to each card, 
 and after having repeated it three times, form 
 your conclusion, remember that everything is 
 within your circle as far as you can count 
 thirteen any way from the card that represents 
 the person, his wife, or her husband, and 
 their intimate friend ; and also that the thir- 
 teenth card every way is of the greatest con- 
 sequence, either the whole pack, or only the 
 picked cards may be used. 
 
 Another mode with the picked cards is to 
 shuffle and cut them, take three cards from 
 the top — if there be two of a suit, take out the 
 highest card; if three, take all; when you 
 have gone through the pack, shuffle and cut 
 the remainder, and do as before, and repeat 
 the same a third time; then take a general 
 view of all the cards drawn, and next couple 
 them, a top and bottom card, then shuffle and 
 cut them into three heaps, laying one apart in 
 the first round to form a fourth heap; the first 
 heap at the left hand relates to yourself en- 
 tirely, the next to your family, and the third 
 is the confirmation of the former two; you

 must proceed a second and third time, adding 
 each time one to the single card, then three 
 single cards gives the connection of the opera- 
 tion; observe you must add the card which 
 represents the person whose fortune is con- 
 sulted to the three, if it be not there already.

 tween the parties; if by diamonds, your feast 
 will be from home, perhaps in the country; if 
 by clubs, the occasion of the meeting will be 
 upon some bargain or agreement; if your ace 
 of hearts is in the neighborhood of face cards 
 of both sexes, with clubs near it, it will be 
 about a match-making; if all the face cards 
 are kings or knaves, or both, it will concern

 reflections. 
 
 The Knave of Hearts. — Is a person of no 
 particular sex, but always the dearest friend, 
 or nearest relation of the consulting party, 
 ever active and intruding, equally jealous of 
 doing harm or good as the whim of the mo- 
 ment strikes, passionate and hard to be recon- 
 ciled, but always zealous and warm in the 
 cause of the consulting party, though proba- 
 bly not according to their fancy, as they will 
 be as industrious to prevent their schemes as 
 to forward them, if they do not accord with 
 his own disposition. You must pay great at- 
 tention to the cards that stand next to the 
 knave, as from them alone you can judge 
 whether the person it represents will favor 
 your inclination or not. 
 
 The Ten of Hearts. — Shows good nature 
 and many children; it is a corrective to the 
 bad tidings of the cards, but may stand next 
 to it; and if its neighboring cards are of good 
 import, it ascertains and confirms their value. 
 
 The Nine of Hearts. — Promises wealth, 
 grandeur, and high esteem; if cards that are

 disappointment and a reverse; if favorable

 pect to retrieve your losses, whether of peace 
 or of goods. 
 
 The Eight xOF Hearts. — Points out a 
 strong inclination to get intoxicated; this, if

 the mean art of recrimination, to excuse them- 
 selves, although without foundation. 
 
 The Six of Hearts. — Shows a generous, 
 open, and credulous disposition, easily im- 
 posed upon, and ever the dupe of flatterers, but 
 the good-natured friends of the distressed. If 
 this card comes before your king or queen, 
 you will be the dupe; if after, you will have 
 the better. 
 
 The Five of Hearts. — Shows a wavering 
 unsteady disposition, never attached to one ob- 
 ject, and free from any violent passion or at- 
 tachment. 
 
 The Four of Hearts. — Shows that the 
 person will not be married until very late in 
 life, and that this will probably proceed from 
 too great a delicacy in making a choice. 
 
 The Trey of Hearts. — Shows that your 
 own imprudence will greatly contribute to 
 your experiencing the ill-will of others. 
 
 The Deuce of Hearts. — Shows that ex- 
 traordinary success and good fortune will at-

 the affairs of love, without specifying whether 
 lawful or unlawful.

 who will be corrupted by the great of both

 The Knave of Spades. — Shows a person 
 ■who, although they have your welfare at 
 heart, will be too indolent to pursue it with 
 zeal, unless you take frequent opportunities of 
 rousing their attention. 
 
 The Ten of Spades. — Is a card of bad im- 
 port, it will, in a great measure, counteract 
 the good effect of the other cards; but unless 
 it be seconded by other unfortunate cards, its 
 influence may be gotten over. 
 
 The Nine of Spades. — Is the worst card 
 in the whole pack; it portends dangerous sick- 
 ness, a total loss of fortune, cruel calamity, 
 and endless dissension in your family. 
 
 The Eight of Spades. — Shows that you 
 will experience strong opposition from your 
 friends, whom you imagine to be such; if this 
 card comes close to you, abandon your enter- 
 prise and adopt another plan. 
 
 The Seven of Spades. — Shows the loss of 
 a most valuable friend, whose death will 
 plunge you into very great distress. 
 
 The Six of Spades. — Announces a me- 
 diocrity of fortune, and very great uncertainty 
 in your undertakings. 
 
 The Five of Spades. — Will give very lit- 
 tle interruption to your success; it promises 
 you good luck in the choice of a companion 
 for life, that you will meet with one very fond 
 of you, and immoderately attached to the joys 
 of hymen, but shows your temper to be rather 
 sullen. 
 
 The Four of Spades. — Shows speedy sick- 
 ness, and that your friends will injure your 
 fortune.

 will be unfortunate in marriage, that your 
 partner will be incontinent, and that you will 
 be made unhappy. 
 
 The Deuce of Spades. — Always signifies 
 a coffin, but whom it is for must depend en- 
 tirely on the other cards that are near. 
 
 Miscellaneous Games with Cards. 
 
 LOVERS' HEARTS. 
 
 Four persons, but not more, may play at 
 this game; or three, by making a dumb hand, 
 or sleeping partner, as at whist. Play this 
 game exactly the same in every game, making 
 the queen, whom you call Venus, above the 
 ace, the aces in this game only standing for 
 one. and hearts must be first led off by the 
 person next, the dealer. He or she who gets 
 most tricks this way (each taking up their own, 
 and no partnership) will have most lovers, and 
 the king and queen of hearts in one hand 
 shows matrimony at hand. But woe to the 
 
 unlucky one who gets no tricks at the deal, or 
 does not hold a heart in their hand; they will 
 be unfortunate in love, and long tarry before 
 they marry. 
 
 CUPID AND HYMEN. 
 
 Three are enough for this game, the nines, 
 the threes, and the aces; deal them equally; 
 those who hold kings hold friends; queens are 
 rivals; knaves, shame; knave alone, lover; 
 three, surprises; ace, sorrow; two together, 
 shows a child before marriage; if a king alone 
 is in her hand with the aces, she stands a good 
 chance; but if a queen is with him, she will 
 never marry the father; the nine of hearts 
 gives the wish that you have most at heart; 
 the nine of diamonds, money; and the nine of 
 clubs, a new gown or coat; but the nine of 
 spades is sorrow. A queen and a knave in one 
 hand bids fair for a secret intrigue. 
 
 HYMEN'S LOTTERY. 
 
 Let each one present deposit any sum agreed 
 on — but, of course, some trifle; put a com- 
 plete pack of cards, well shuffled, in a bag or 
 reticule. Let the party stand in a circle, and 
 the bag being handed round, each draw three. 
 Pairs of any kind are favorable omens of some 
 good fortune about to occur to the party, aud 
 gets from the pool the sum back that each 
 agreed to pay. The king of hearts is here 
 made the god of love, and claims double, and 
 gives a faithful swain to the fair one who has 
 the good fortune to draw him; if Venus, the 
 queen of hearts, is with him, it is the conquer- 
 ing prize, and clears the pool; fives and nines 
 are reckoned crosses and misfortunes, and pay 
 a forfeit of the sum agreed on to the pool, be- 
 sides the usual stipend at each new game; 
 three nines at one draw, shows the lady will 
 be an old maid; three fives, a bad husband. 
 
 MATRIMONY. 
 
 Let three, five, or seven young women stand 
 in a circle and draw a card out of a box, she 
 who gets the highest card will be married first 
 of the company, whether she be at the present 
 time maid, wife, or widow; and she who has 
 the lowest, has the longest time to stay ere the 
 sun shines on her wedding-day; she who draws 
 the ace of spades will never bear the name of 
 wife; and she who has the nine of hearts in 
 this trial will have one lover too many, to her 
 sorrow. 
 
 CUPID'S PASTIME. 
 
 Ity this game you may amuse yourself and 
 friends, and at the same time learn some 
 curious particulars of your future fate; and 
 though apparently a simple, yet it is a sure

 43 
 
 method, as several young persons have ac- 
 knowledged to the sybil who first presented 
 them with the rules. 
 
 Several may play at the game, itr requiring 
 no number, only leaving out nine on their 
 board, not exposed to view; each person puts 
 a half-penny in the pool, and the dealer 
 double. The ace of diamonds is made princi- 
 pal, and takes all the other aces, etc., like 
 Pam at Loo,; twos and threes in your hand 
 are luck; four a continuance in your present 
 state; five, trouble; sixes, profit; sevens, 
 plague; eights, disappointment; nines, sur- 
 prises; tens, settlement; knaves, sweethearts; 
 kings and queens, friends and acquaintances; 
 ace of spades, death; ace of clubs, a letter; 
 and the ace of diamonds, with ten of hearts, 
 marriage. 
 
 The ace of diamonds being played first, or, 
 if it be not cut, the dealer calls for the queen 
 of hearts, which takes next; if the ace be not 
 cut, and the queen conquers, the person who 
 played her will marry that year without a 
 doubt, though it may, perhaps, seem unlikely 
 at the time; but, if she loses her queen, she 
 must wait longer; the ace and queen being 
 called, the rest go in rotation, as at whist, 
 kings taking queens, queens taking knaves, 
 and so on, and the more tricks you have, the 
 more money you get off the board on the di- 
 vision after each game; those who hold the 
 nine of spades will soon have trouble, and they 
 are also to pay a penny to the board; but the 
 fortunate fair one who holds the queen and 
 knave of hearts in the same hand will soon be 
 married, or, if she is already within the pale 
 of matrimony, she will have a great rise in 
 life by means of her husband; those who hold 
 the ace of diamonds and queen of hearts clear 
 the money off the board and end that game; 
 it also betokens great prosperity. 
 
 Fortune-Telling by Court Cards. 
 
 A number of court cards is good; it tells a 
 meeting or company — if diamonds lay next to 
 them, it is mirth; hearts, a wedding or chris- 
 tening; clubs, business; and spades, a funeral. 
 A. king and queen singly together, a courtship 
 or wedding; a queen and knave, intrigue; and 
 if spades are near them, the result will be dis- 
 grace, and food for scandal; the knaves to- 
 gether, treachery, or a suit at law ; but the 
 knave of hearts stands for Cupid, and you 
 must find out his errand by the cards round 
 him. 
 
 Tens. — These show changes: diamonds, 
 unexpected luck; hearts, a removal; spades, 
 death, or a strange bed according to the next 
 
 cards; clubs, a new way of life; three or four 
 tens, a very great surprise; two together, a 
 visit into the country. 
 
 Nines. — The nine of spades is the worst 
 harbinger of misfortune in the whole selected 
 pack, it foretells a great evil; the nine of 
 clubs is good for married women, but to sin- 
 gle ones it tells what is usually called a love 
 child; nine of diamonds is good for traders, 
 and the nine of hearts for lovers and widows 
 together; they tell changes. 
 
 Sevens. — Ill-luck. The seven of clubs in 
 the pack with yourself shows a drunken hus- 
 band; hearts, perfidy in love or friendship; 
 diamonds, losses; spades, scandal ; three sevens 
 together, an accident; two, imprisonment; 
 four, danger. 
 
 The Aces. — These vary their meaning ac- 
 cording to their situation, turned up singly on 
 the pack. In cutting the cards, the ace of 
 hearts is a rich lover; in the same pack with 
 3'ourself, a house, if not a ship; ace of dia- 
 monds, on the pack, a ring; with yourself, a 
 present; in any other pack or parcel, a sum of 
 money; club is always a busy ace, telling 
 news, letters, or new work, let it be placed as 
 it may. The ace of spades turned up is an un- 
 lucky prognostic; with another spade, death; 
 with clubs, a loss in trade; with diamonds, 
 loss of money; with hearts, unhappy mar- 
 riage. The four aces together, a good settle- 
 ment; three, a pleasing surprise; and two, an 
 unpleasant . one. The ace of diamonds and 
 ten of hearts together betokens marriage, and 
 in the pack that betokens your secret wishes; 
 to have either of the tens or aces, or the nine 
 of hearts, tells success, and that your desires 
 will be speedily accomplished. 
 
 To See a Future Husband. 
 
 On midsummer eve, just after sunset, three, 
 five, or seven young women are to go into a 
 garden in which there is no person, and each 
 to gather a sprig of red sage, and then, going 
 into a room by themselves, set a stool in the 
 middle of the room, and on it- a clean basin 
 full of rose-water, in which the sprigs of sage 
 are to be put, and, tying a line across the 
 room and on one side of the stool, each 
 woman is to hang on it a clean shift turned the 
 wrong side outward; then all are to sit down 
 in a row, on the opposite side of the stool, 
 as far distant as the room will admit, not 
 speaking a single word the whole time what- 
 ever they may see, and in a few minutes after 
 twelve each one's future husband will take 
 her sprig out of the rosewater, and sprinkle 
 her shift with it.

 Napoleon Bonaparte's 
 
 BOOK OF FATE. 
 
 The book of which the following is a trans- 
 lation was obtained from Bonaparte's Cabinet 
 of Curiosities at Leipsic during the confusion 
 which reigned there after the defeat of the 
 French Army. It was held by him as a sacred 
 treasure; and it is said to have been a stimulus 
 to most of his speculations, he being used to 
 consult it on every occasion. The translator 
 has several times consulted it for his own 
 amusement; and, however, incredible it may. 
 appear, he found its answers to correspond 
 with truth, as they afterwards came to pass. 
 The other matters, besides obtaining a know- 
 ledge of any understanding, or an answer to a 
 question you propose, are really curious and 
 useful; and such, it is presumed, as are not to 
 be found in any work in the English language. 
 The whole forming a Cabinet of Curiosities 
 and valuable secrets, which have been ap- 
 proved of by persons of respectable literary 
 character. 
 
 METHOD OF WORKING THE QUESTIONS. 
 
 Make marks in the following manner, either 
 more or less, in the four lines: 
 
 ******* 
 ******* 
 
 ****** 
 
 This done, you will begin to reckon the 
 number of marks in each line, from left to 
 right; and, if the number be odd, you must 
 mark down one dot; and if even, two dots. 
 When the number of marks in any of the lines 
 exceeds nine, the surplus only must be taken 
 notice of. 
 
 The number of marks in the first line of the 
 
 forgoing is odd * 
 
 The Dumber of marks in the second, even. .** 
 The number of marks in the third, odd. ... * 
 The number of marks in the fourth, even . . ** 
 
 To obtain the answer to your question you 
 must refer to the Oraeulum Table, at the top 
 of which you will find a column of dots simi- 
 lar to those; you have produced. Guide your 
 eye down the same column until you come to 
 the letter ranging with the figure of the ques- 
 
 tion you are trying; refer to the column hav- 
 ing the same letter at the top; and, even with 
 the dots corresponding with yours, is the 
 answer to your question. 
 
 The following are unlucky days, on which 
 none of the ^questions shoufd be worked, or 
 anv enterprise undertaken: January 1, 2, 4; 6, 
 10, 20, 22; February 6, 17, 28; March 24, 26; 
 April 10, 27, 28; May 7, 8; June 27; July 17, 
 21; August 20, 22; September 5, 30; October 
 6; November 3, 29; December 6, 10, 15. 
 
 » N. B. — It is not right to try a question 
 twice on the same day.

 Fortune - Telling 
 
 —BY THE- 
 
 Grounds of a Coffee or Tea cm. 
 
 Pour the grounds of coffee or tea into a 
 ■white cup; shake them well about in it, so 
 that their particles may cover the surface of 
 the whole cup; then reverse it into the saucer, 
 that all the superfluous parts may be drained 
 off, and the figures required for fortune-telling 
 be formed. 
 
 It is not to be expected upon taking up the 
 cup. that the figures will be accurately repre- 
 sented as they are in the cards, but it is quite 
 sufficient if they bear some resemblance to any 
 of the thirty-two emblems; and the more fer- 
 tile the fancy shall be of the person who in- 
 spects the cup, the more he will discover in it. 
 
 The Roads, or serpentine lines, indicate 
 ways; if they are covered with clouds, and 
 consequently in the thick, they are said to be 
 infallible marks of many past or future re- 
 verses. But if they appear in the clear and 
 serene, are the surest tokens of some for- 
 tunate change near at hand; encompassed 
 with many points or dots, they signify an ac- 
 cidental gain of money; likewise long life. 
 
 The Ring signifies marriage; if a letter is 
 near it, it denotes to* the person that has his 
 fortune told the initial of the name of the 
 party to be married. If the ring is in the 
 clear, it portends happy and lucrative friend- 
 ship. Surrounded with clouds, denotes that 
 the party is to use precaution in the friendship 
 he is about to contract, lest he should be in- 
 sidiously deceived; but it is most inauspicious 
 if the ring appears at the bottom of the cup, as 
 it forebodes an entire separation- from the be- 
 loved object. 
 
 The Leaf of Clover may be generally 
 considered a lucky sign. Its different dispo- 
 sition in the cup alone makes the difference. 
 When it is on the top it shows that the good 
 fortune is not far distant, but it is subject to 
 delay, if it is in the middle or at the bottom. 
 Should clouds surround it, it shows that many 
 disagreeable circumstances attend the good 
 fortune; in the clear, it prognosticates serene 
 and undisturbed happiness as the party wishes. 
 
 The Anchor, the emblem of hope and 
 commerce, implies successful business carried 
 on by water and by land, if on the bottom of 
 the cup; at the top, and in the clear part, it 
 shows constant love and unshaken fidelity. In 
 thick and cloudy parts it also denotes love, but 
 tinctured with the inconstancy of the butterfly. 
 
 The Serpent — Always the emblem of 
 falsehood and enmity — is likewise the general 
 sign of an enemy. On the top or in the mid- 
 dle of the cup, it promises to the consulting 
 party the triumph which he desires over his 
 enemy; but he will not obtain it so easily if 
 the serpent be in the thick and cloudy part. 
 By the letter which appears near the emblem 
 the enemy may easily be guessed, as it makes 
 the initial of his name. 
 
 The Letter. — By letters we communicate 
 to our friends either pleasant or unpleasant 
 news, and such is the case here; if this em- 
 blem is in the clear part, it denotes the speedy 
 arrival of welcome news; surrounded with, 
 dots, it announces the arrival of a considerable 
 remittance of money; but hemmed in by 
 clouds, it is quite the contrary, and forebodes 
 some melancholy or bad tidings, a loss, or 
 some other sinister accident. If it be in the 
 clear, and accompanied with a heart, lovers 
 may expect a letter which secures to the party 
 the possession of the beloved object; but in 
 the thick, it denotes a refusal. 
 
 The Coffin, the emblem of death, prog- 
 nosticates the same thing here, or at least a 
 long and tedious illness; if it be in the thick 
 at the top of the cup, it signifies a considerable 
 estate left by some rich relation ; in the same 
 manner at the bottom, shows that the deceased 
 is not so nearly related to the consulting party. 
 
 The Star denotes happiness, if in the clear 
 and at the top of the cup; clouded, or in the 
 thick, it signifies long life, though exposed to 
 various troubles. If dots are about it, it fore- 
 tells great fortune, wealth, high respectability, 
 honors, etc. Several stars denote some good 
 and happy children, but, surrounded with 
 dashes, shows that the person's children will 
 cause him or her grief and vexation in old age, 
 and that you ought to prevent it by giving 
 them a good education in time. 
 
 The Dog, being at all times the emblem of 
 faithfulness or envy, has a two-fold meaning 
 here. At the top, in the clear, it signifies 
 true and faithful friends; but if his image be 
 surrounded with clouds and dashes, it shows 
 that those whom you take for your friends are 
 not to be depended on; but if the dog be at 
 the bottom of the cup, you have to dread the 
 effects of extreme envy or jealousy. 
 
 The Lily. — If this emblem be at the top, 
 or in the middle of the cup, it signifies that the 
 consulting party either has, or will have, a 
 virtuous spouse; if it be at the bottom, it de- 
 notes quite the reverse. In the clear, the lily 
 further betokens long and happy life; if 
 clouded, or in the thick, it portends trouble 
 and vexation, especially on the part of one's 
 relations. 
 
54 
 
 GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 The Cross, be it one or more, generally 
 predicts adversities; its position varies, and so 
 do the circumstances. If it be at the top, and 
 in the clear, it shows that the misfortunes of 
 the party will soon be at an end, or that he 
 will easily get over them; but if it appears in 
 the middle or at the bottom of the thick, the 
 party must expect some severe trials. If it 
 appears with dots, either in the clear or the 
 thick, it promises a speedy change in one's 
 sorrow. 
 
 The Clouds. — If they be more light than 
 dark, the person will have a good result from 
 wishing, but, if black, it must be given up. 
 Surrounded with dots, they bring success in 
 trade, and in all undertakings; but the brighter 
 they are the greater will be the happiness. 
 
 The Sun, an emblem of the greatest luck 
 and happiness, if in the clear; but in the thick 
 it denotes a great deal of sadness; surrounded 
 by dots and dashes, denotes an alteration will 
 speedily take place. 
 
 The Moon, if it appears in the clear, de- 
 notes high honors; in the dark or thick part 
 it implies sadness, which will, however, pass 
 without great prejudice; but if it be at the 
 bottom of the cup, the consulting person will 
 be fortunate on water and land. 
 
 Mountain. — If it represent only one moun- 
 tain, it indicates the favor of people of high 
 rank, but several of them, especially in the 
 thick, are signs of powerful enemies; if in the 
 clear, denotes the contrary, or friends in high 
 life, who are endeavoring to promote the con- 
 sulting party. 
 
 Tree. — One tree only, if it be in the clear 
 or thick part, points out lasting good health; 
 several trees denote that your wish will be ac- 
 complished. If they are encompassed with 
 dashes, it is a token that your fortune is in its 
 blossom, and will require some time to bring 
 it to maturity. If it is accompanied with dots, 
 it is a sign that you will make a fortune at a 
 distance off, where you will reside. 
 
 Child. — In the clear part it bespeaks inno- 
 cent intercourse between the cousulter and 
 another person; in the thick part, excess in 
 love affairs, attended with great expenses; at 
 the bottom of the cup it denotes the conse- 
 quences of libidinous amours. 
 
 Woman. — Signifies much joj T in general. If 
 in the clear, this emblem has a more favorable 
 signification than in the thick; there it shows 
 very great happiness, here a great deal of jea- 
 lousy. If dots surround the image, it explains 
 the lady's fertility or her wealth. The dilfer- 
 enl positions in the cup shows, at the top, and 
 in the middle, that you will be in love with a 
 virgin, but at the bottom it marks that she is 
 a widow. 
 
 The Pedestrian denotes, in general, a 
 merchant, good business, pleasant news, and 
 recovery of lost things. It also signifies that 
 the consulting party will soon enlist, or get 
 some engagement. 
 
 The Rider denotes good news from abroad 
 in money matters, a good situation in a foreign 
 country, or good prospects. He that doubts 
 his fortune is promised a lasting one by this 
 emblem. 
 
 The Mouse. — As this animal lives by 
 stealth, it is also an emblem here of theft or 
 robbery; if it is in the clear, it shows you will 
 get again what you lost in a wonderful man- 
 ner; but if it appears in the thick, you must 
 renounce this hope. 
 
 The Rose, or any other flower, the greatest 
 success in the arts and sciences; if the con- 
 sulting party be married, he will have good 
 children, and all the fruits to be expected from 
 their good education in his old age. 
 
 The Heart, if it be in the clear, signifies 
 future pleasure. It promises joy at receiving 
 some money if surrounded with dots. If a 
 ring or two hearts be together, it signifies that 
 the party is about to be married or betrothed; 
 if a letter be perceptible near it, it shows the 
 initial of a person's name; if a letter be in the 
 clear, the party is a virgin; if in the thick, a 
 widow. 
 
 Garden or Wood signifies a concourse of 
 people; in the clear it indicates good friends, 
 of which it will consist; in the thick, or en- 
 compassed with streaks, it warns the consult- 
 ing person to be cautious, and not to take for 
 his friends those who profess themselves as 
 such. 
 
 Birds in General. — In the clear, it signi- 
 fies that the disagreeables and troubles with 
 which the person shall have to combat will 
 soon be over; in the thick, it is a sign of good 
 living aud of a successful journey or voyage, 
 which, if there are dashes, will be directed to 
 a great distance. 
 
 Fish in General denotes successful events 
 by water, if in the clear, which will either 
 happen to the consulter, or improve the state 
 of his affairs beyond the water. If they are 
 in the thick, the consulter will fish in troubled 
 water, and place his confidence upon that 
 which others have lost before him. Sur- 
 rounded with dots, denotes that his fate calls 
 him to some distant place. 
 
 Lion, or any other Ferocious Beast.— 
 At the top, in the clear, it signifies all kinds of 
 good luck with people of high rank; at the 
 bottom, it warns the consulter to shun all such 
 intercourse, as he will, at all events, find per- 
 sons who will be envious of his fortune, and 
 not see it with indifference.

 Green Bush shows the benevolence and 
 favors of all the consumer's patrons; it gives 
 some hopes of attaining the honor the con- 
 suiter wishes for; without foliage, it is a token 
 of the caprice of fortune; in the clear, it an- 
 nounces an unexpected remittance of money. 
 
 Worms. — At the $op, or in the middle of 
 the top, it denotes good luck at gambling and 
 in marriage; below, it warns the consulter 
 against rivals in courtship and against enviers 
 in trade. 
 
 House indicates, at the top of the cup, 
 blessings and success in the consulter's enter- 
 prise; if the present situation be not the most 
 favorable, trust that it will soon change for the 
 better. In the middle or below, it cautions the 
 consulter to be vigilant over servants, as vigi- 
 lance alone will prevent injury. 
 
 Scythe, if combined with an hour-glass, 
 denotes imminent dangers of all kinds; below, 
 it siguifies a long and prosperous life. 
 
 DREAMS, TOKENS, AND INSIGHTS 
 
 INTO FUTURITY. 
 
 THE RING AND OLIVE BRANCH. 
 
 Buy a ring; it matters not it being gold, so 
 as it has the semblance of a wedding ring; 
 and it is best to try this charm on your own 
 birthday. Pay for your ring with some small 
 bill, for whatever change you receive you 
 must give it to the first beggar you meet in the 
 street; and, if no one asks alms of you, give it 
 to some poor person — for you need not, alas! 
 go far before you find one to whom your 
 charity will be acceptable; carefully note what 
 they say in return, such as " God bless you," 
 or wishing you luck and prosperity, as is 
 usual. When you get home, write it down on 
 a sheet of paper, at each of four corners, and, 
 in the middle, put the two first letters of your 
 name, your age, and the letters of the planets 
 then reigning as morning and evening stars; 
 get a branch of olive and fasten the ring on 
 the stalk with a string of thread which has 
 been steeped all day in a mixture of honey and 
 vinegar, or any composition of opposite quali- 
 ties, very sweet and. very sour; cover 3'our 
 ring and stalk with the written paper, care- 
 fully wrapped round and round; wear it in 
 your bosom till the ninth hour of the night; 
 then repair to the next church-yard and bury 
 the charm in the grave of a young man who 
 died unmarried; and, while you are so doing, 
 repeat the letters of j^our own Christian name 
 three times backwards; return home, and keep 
 as silent as possible till you go to bed, which 
 must be before eleven; put a light in your 
 
 chimney, or some safe place, and, before mid- 
 night, or just about that time, your husband 
 that is to be will present himself at the foot of 
 the bed, but will presently disappear. If you 
 are not to marry, none will come; and, in that 
 case, if you dream before morning of children, 
 it shows that you will have them unmarried; 
 and if you dream of crowds of men, beware 
 of prostitution. 
 
 THE WITCHES' CHAIN. 
 
 Let three young women join together in 
 making a long chain — about a yard will do — 
 of Christmas, juniper, and mistletoe berries, 
 and, at the end of every link, put an oak acorn. 
 Exactly before midnight let them assemble in 
 a room by themselves, where no one can dis- 
 turb them; leave a window open, and take the 
 key out of the keyhole and hang it over the 
 chimney-piece; have a good fire, and place in 
 the midst of it a long, thinuish log of wood, 
 well sprinkled with oil, salt, and fresh mould; 
 then wrap the chain round it, each maiden 
 having an equal share in the business; then sit 
 down, and on your left knee let each fair one 
 have a prayer-book opened at the matrimonial 
 service. Just as the last acorn is burned, the 
 future husband will cross the room; each one 
 will see her own proper spouse, but he will be 
 invisible to the rest of the wakeful virgins. 
 Those that are not to be wed will see a coffin, 
 or some mis-shapen form cross the room; go 
 to bed instantly, and you will all have remark- 
 able dreams. This must be done either on a 
 Wednesday or Friday night, but no other. 
 
 LOVE'S CORDIAL. 
 
 (To be tried the third night of a new moon.) 
 
 Take brandy, rum, gin, wine, and the oil of 
 amber, of each a teaspoonful; a tablespoonful 
 of cream, and three of spring water; drink it 
 as you get into bed; repeat: 
 
 This mixture of love I take for my potion, 
 That I of my destiny may have a notion; 
 Cupid befriend me, new moon be kind, 
 And show unto me that fate that's designed. 
 You will dream of drink, and, according to 
 the quality or manner of it being presented, 
 you may tell the condition to which you will 
 rise or fall by marriage. Water is poverty; 
 and if you dream of a drunken man, it is omi- 
 nous that you will have a drunken mate. If 
 you dream of drinking too much, you will fall, 
 at a future period, into that sad error yourself , 
 without great care; and what is a worse sight 
 than an inebriated female? She cannot guard 
 her own honor, ruins her own and family's 
 substance, and often clothes herself with rags. 
 Trouble is often used as an excuse for this 
 vicious habit; but it gives more trouble than 
 it takes away.

 LOTE LETTERS. 
 
 On receiving a love-letter that has any par- 
 ticular declaration in it, lay it wide open; then 
 fold it in nine folds, pin it next your heart, 
 and thus wear it till bed-time; then place it in 
 your left-hand glove, and lay it under your 
 head. If you dream of gold, diamonds, or 
 any costly gems,. your lover is true, and means 
 what he says; if of white linen, you will lose 
 him by death; and if of flowers, he will prove 
 false. If you dream of his saluting you, he is, 
 at present, false, and means not what he pro- 
 fesses, but only to draw you into a snare. 
 
 MAGIC ROSE. 
 
 Gather your rose on the 27th of June; let it 
 be full blown, and as bright a red as you can 
 get; pluck it between the hours of three and 
 four in the morning, taking care to have no 
 witness of the. transaction; convey it to your 
 chamber, and hold it over a chaffing-dish or 
 any convenient utensil for the purpose, in 
 which there is charcoal and sulphur of brim- 
 stone; hold your rose over the smoke about 
 five minutes, and j t ou will see it have a won- 
 derful effect on the flower. Before the rose 
 gets the least cool, clap it in a sheet of writing- 
 paper, on which is written your own name 
 and that of the young man you love best; also 
 the date of the 3 r ear and the name of the morn- 
 ing star that has the ascendency at that time; 
 fold it up and seal it neatly with three sepa- 
 rate seals, then run and bury the parcel at the 
 foot of the tree from which you gathered the 
 flower; here let it remain untouched till the 
 6th of July; take it up at midnight, go to bed 
 and place it under your pillow, and you will 
 have a singular and most eventful dream be- 
 fore morning, or, at least, before your usual 
 time of rising. You may keep the rose under 
 your head three nights without spoiling the 
 charm; when you are done with the rose and

 How any Person can Write Secretly. 
 
 It is made by taking an ounce of common 
 aquafortis, which you are to mix with three 
 ounces of common water; you may use this 
 to write on paper that is very strong and 
 stiff; this writing becomes totally invisible 
 in drying. In order to make it reappear, 
 you need only wet the paper, ami when it 
 dries the writing disappears again. The ef- 
 fect may be repented two or three times. 
 With this ink lovers can eommunieate with 
 each other without any fear of intrusion. 
 
 Observations Concerning 
 
 BIRDS AND BEASTS, 
 
 It hath been duly observed by the learned 
 in all ages of the world that our all-wise and 
 beneficent Creator originally implanted in the 
 frame of nature a means whereby mankind 
 may attain to the knowledge such future con- 
 tingencies as concern their welfare and happi- 
 ness; and more especially since we observe, 
 even in the brute creation, that even the most 
 inconsiderable creatures upon the earth are 
 more or less endowed with a gift of fore- 
 knowledge. Thus the industrious bee and 
 the laborious ant lay in their summer store, in 
 order to supply the necessary wants of an in- 
 clement winter, which the}' foreknow is yet to 
 come; yea, even of all the whole race of rep- 
 tiles, the ant, the spider, and the bee, appear 
 to be endowed with the greatest share of sa- 
 gacity. 
 
 The wisdom of the ant is conspicuous in 
 forming themselves into a kind of republic, 
 and therein observing, as it were, their own pe- 
 culiar laws and policies; but the cunning of 
 the spider seems to exceed that of most other 
 insects; its various artifices to ensnare its prey 
 are no less remarkable than its contrivance of 
 a cell or retreat behind its web, where it feasts 
 upon its game in safety, and conceals the 
 fragments of those carcasses it has devoured, 
 without exposing to public view the least re- 
 mains of its barbarity which might tend to 
 distinguish its place of abode, or create the 
 least jealousy in any sect, that their enemy 
 was near. Into what history can we look to 
 find people who are governed by laws equal 
 to what we observe in the republic of bees? 
 What experience can we desire beyond that 
 we observe in the cunning spider, to teach us 
 to guard against the artifices of those who lay 
 snares to catch the thoughtless and unwary? 
 or what can exceed the indefatigable ant. in 
 teaching us lessons of frugality and industry? 
 
 The badger, the hedge-hog, and the mole 
 also provide themselves a magazine of plants 
 and herbs, which they foreknow will enable 
 them to lie concealed in their holes during the 
 hard frosts of winter, contented with their 
 prison, which affords them safety. Their 
 holes are also constructed with amazing art, 
 and have generally two apertures, that, in 
 case one should be beset by an enemy, they 
 may eseape by the other. 
 
 The doublings of the hare, and the tricks of 
 the fox, to escape the hounds, are also astonish- 
 ing indications of foresight and sagacity. The 
 feathered race are likewise endowed with a 
 .similar faculty, and often foretell an approach- 
 ing storm a considerable time before it ap-

 pears by retiring in flocks to their holes and 
 hiding-places for shelter and protection. The 
 birds of passage seem to inherit this gift in a 
 most remarkable degree, for they assemble to- 
 gether in prodigious flocks at an appointed 
 hour, and take their leave before the approach 
 of winter, which they foresee will destro}' the 
 flies and insects, as they feed on nothing else. 
 And it is no less extraordinary than true that 
 these birds return as early as the sun brings 
 forth this class of insects into new life; and 
 they have also the sagacity to find out and 
 possess their old nests and habitations. 
 
 This wise provident forecast for self-pre- 
 servation and safety is even extended to the 
 innumerable inhabitants of the immense ocean, 
 where we see the fishes, pressed by unceasing 
 hunger, indiscriminately prey upon one an- 
 other — the large upon the small, even of its 
 own species; whence the smaller fish, in regu- 
 lar gradations, when in danger of being de- 
 voured, fly for an asjium to the shallow 
 waters, where they know their enemy either 
 cannot or dare not come to pursue them. And 
 this pursuit of one species of fish after another 
 is by no means confined to a single region; 
 for we find shoals of them pursuing one an- 
 other, from the vicinity of the pole even down 
 to the equator; and thus the cod from the 
 banks of Newfoundland pursues the whiting, 
 which, flies before it even to the southern 
 shores of Spain. It is astonishing, also, that 
 herrings, which appear to generate towards 
 the north of Scotland, regularly make their 
 way once a year to the British Channel. Their 
 voyage is conducted with the utmost regu- 
 larity, and the time of their departure is fixed 
 from the months of June to August. They 
 always assemble together before they set out, 
 and no stragglers are ever found from the 
 general body. It is impossible to assign any 
 cause for this emigration; but it, doubtless, 
 proceeds from the same instinctive impulse 
 with which all orders of animated nature are 
 more or less endued. 
 
 Now observe that when you go out of your 
 house to do or transact any kind of business, 
 and in the way you do see a man or a bird go- 
 ing or flying, so that either of them do set 
 themselves before you on your right hand, 
 that is a good signification in reference to your 
 business; but when you shall go out of your 
 house on any business whatsoever, and shall 
 see a bird or a man before you on the left side of 
 you, it is an ill-sign in reference to your said 
 business. 
 
 When either a man or a bird shall thus pass 
 before you, coming from the right side of you 
 and bending towards the left, goeth out of 
 your sight, that is a good sign concerning 
 your business. When you do first find a man 
 
 going, or a bird flying, and then he rests him- 
 self before you on your right side, and you 
 seeing it, this is also a good sign of success in 
 your business. But when you see a man or a 
 bird bending from your right side to the left, 
 it is an ill sign concerning your business; 
 when a man or a bird comes behind you, and 
 goes faster than you, but before he cometh at 
 you he rests, or the same before you came to 
 him, he rests, and you seeing him on your right 
 side, it is to you a good sign. But when this- 
 happens on the left side, it is an evil sign. 
 When a man or a bird coming from your left 
 side and passing to the right, goeth out of 
 your sight without resting, it is a good sign. 
 If a man or a bird coming from your right 
 hand, passing behind your back to the left, 
 and you see him resting anywhere, this is an 
 evil sign. 
 
 All the auspicia which first happenethin the 
 beginning of any business ought to be taken 
 notice of, as if in the beginning of any work 
 you do find that rats have been gnawing your 
 clothes, then desist from your undertakings. 
 If at going out of your house you happen to- 
 stumble on the threshold, or if in the way you 
 happen to dash your foot against anything, 
 then forbear your journey; if any ill omen 
 ever happens at the beginning of your busi- 
 ness, then put it off for a while, lest you be- 
 completely disappointed therein. 
 
 If a crow, raven, or a jack-daw do croak 
 over any person, it doth show much evil of a 
 serious nature. The magpie informs you that 
 you will soon hear news, and come into com- 
 pany; but whether such news be good or bad, 
 observe whether it comes from the right hand: 
 or left. The screech owl is always unfortu- 
 nate, for, about the 17th of October, 1807, 
 Grantham Church was a repository for a num- 
 ber of owls every evening for about one 
 month, when it followed that, before that time 
 the next year, that same church was actually 
 robbed of all its plate and money, to a large 
 amount, by a gang of villains, in the dead of 
 the night, to the great loss and detriment of 
 the whole parish. If you meet sparrows, it is 
 unfortunate, except for love. 
 
 Flies indicate importunity and impudent af- 
 fronts; cocks meeting you, or crowing against 
 your house, inform you of visitors coming, 
 and success in your journeys and business. If 
 you meet a hare, a mule, or a hog, it is an ill 
 omen. To meet horses in a carriage is good, 
 but if you meet an ass, expect trouble; while 
 to meet sheep and goats is very good, and 
 indicates prosperity in your affairs. If you 
 either meet a dog or oxen, 3'ou may expect the 
 same success, for it is good. Mice indicate 
 that you will soon meet with danger; locusts 
 making a stand in any place, hindereth a per-

 son from their wishes, and is an ill omen; on 
 the contrary, grasshoppers promote a journey, 
 and foretell a good event of things. 
 
 The spider weaving a line downwards signi- 
 fies hope of money to come; as also the ants 
 having a nest near your door is good, because 
 they know how to provide for themselves, and 
 portends security and riches. If you meet 
 with a snake, take care of an ill-tongued 
 enemy. A viper signifies lewd women and 
 wicked children; an eel shows a man that is 
 displeased with everybody. 
 
 But, of all the various auspicias and omens, 
 there is none more effectual or potent than 
 man, none that doth signify the truth more 
 clearly. You must, therefore, dilligently note, 
 and duly observe, the condition of that man 
 3'ou meet, or that meeteth you; his age, pro- 
 fession, station, gesture, motion, exercise, 
 complexion, habit, name, words, speech, etc., 
 for, seeing there are in all other animals so 
 many discoveries of presages, yet those are 
 all more efficacious and clear which are in- 
 fused into the soul of man. We must also 
 consider what animals are Saturnine, those 
 under Jupiter, Mars, etc., and thus, according 
 to their properties, draw forth their presages. 
 
 Fortunate Bays, Weeks, 
 Months and Years. 
 
 The day of the week in which you were 
 born is the best for any person; it is lucky to 
 receive a letter on the third, fifth, or ninth of 
 the month, or on any Tuesday or Saturday. 
 The first week in May is very fortunate for 
 any undertaking to men; the second, to 
 women. June is a good month in which to 
 make any contract, or receive a promise of 
 marriage, as it generally turns out sincere and 
 prosperous. 
 
 It has often been recorded, and though a 
 singular observation, experience has shown it 
 to be true, that some event of importance is 
 sure to happen to a woman in her thirty-first 
 year, whether single or married; it may prove 
 for her good, or it, may be some great evil or 
 temptation; therefore, let her be cautious and 
 circumspect in all her actions. If she is a 
 maiden or a widow, it is probable that she 
 marries this year. 
 
 The same is applicable to men in their 
 forty -second year, of which many instances 
 have been proved that do not. admit of a 
 doubt; observe, always, to grant or take a 
 base for an odd number of years; even years 
 are not prosperous. The three first days of 
 the moon are the best for signing papers, and 
 the flrsl live days, as well as the twenty-fourth, 
 for any fresh undertaking. 
 
 But it must be allowed that much depends 
 on people's own industry and perseverance; 
 that often overcomes a bad planet, or a day 
 marked unlucky in the book of fate. 
 
 Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are the 
 best for men; Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur- 
 days for women. To travel by land, choose 
 the increase of the moon, the decrease for a 
 voyage, and about the full to write letters in 
 which you ask a favor; to beg wafers is not 
 lucky on this occasion. It is not good to 
 marry on your own birthday, for a woman, 
 but is fortunate for a man; and it is good to 
 christen a child on the day of the week in 
 which it was born. It is also reckoned for- 
 tunate to be born on Sunday, for either sex. 
 
 DREAMS. 
 
 How to Receive Oracles by Dreams. 
 
 He who would receive true dreams, should 
 keep a pure, undisturbed, and imaginative 
 spirit, and so compose it that it may be made 
 worthy of knowledge and government by the 
 mind ; for such a spirit is most fit for prophesy- 
 ing, and is a most clear glass of ail images 
 which flow everywhere from all things. 
 When, therefore, we are sound in body, not 
 disturbed in mind, our intellect not made dull 
 by heavy meats and strong drink, not sad 
 through poverty, not provoked through lust, 
 not incited by any vice, nor stirred up by 
 wrath or anger, not being irreligiously and 
 profanely inclined, not given to levity nor lost 
 in drunkenness, but, chastely going to bed, 
 fall asleep, then our pure and divine soul being 
 free from all the evils above recited, and sepa- 
 rated from all hurtful thoughts — and now 
 freed, by dreaming — is endowed with this di- 
 vine spirit as an instrument, and doth receive 
 those beams and representations which are 
 darted down, as it. were, and shine forth from 
 the divine Mind into itself, in a deifying glass. 
 
 There are four kinds of true dreams, viz., 
 the first, matutine, i.e., between sleeping and 
 waking; the second, that which one sees con- 
 cerning another; the third, that whose inter- 
 pretation is shown to the same dreamer in the 
 nocturnal vision; and, lastly, that which is re- 
 lated to the same dreamer in the nocturnal 
 vision. But natural things and their own co- 
 mixtures do likewise belong unto wise men, 
 and we often use such to receive oracles from 
 a spirit by a dream, which are either by per- 
 fumes, unctions, meats, drinks, rings, seals, 
 etc. 
 
GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 59 
 
 Now those who are desirous to receive 
 oracles through a dream, let theru make them- 
 selves a ring of the Sun or Saturn for this 
 purpose. There are likewise images of dreams, 
 which, being put under the head when going 
 to sleep, doth effectually give true dreams of 
 whatever the mind hath before determined or f 
 consulted upon, the practice of which is as 
 follows: 
 
 Thou shalt make an image of the Sun, the 
 figure whereof must be a man sleeping upon 
 the bosom of an angel; which thou shalt make 
 when Leo ascends, the Sun being in the ninth 
 house in Aries; then you must write upon the 
 figure the name of the effect desired, and in 
 the hand of the angel the name and character 
 of the intelligence of the Sun, which is Michael. 
 
 Let the same image be made in Virgo as- 
 cending — Mercury being fortunate in Aries in 
 the ninth, or Gemini ascending, Mercury be- 
 ing fortunate in the ninth house in Aquarius 
 — and let him be received by Saturn with a 
 fortunate aspect, and let the name of the spirit 
 (which is Raphael) be written upon it. Let 
 the same likewise be made — Libra ascending, 
 Venus being received from Mercury in 
 Gemini in the ninth house — and write upon it 
 the name of the angel of Venus (which is 
 Anael). Again you may make the same 
 image — Aquarius ascending, Saturn fortunate- 
 ly possessing the ninth in his exaltation, which 
 is Libra — and let there be written upon it the 
 name of the angel of Saturn (which is Cassial). 
 The same may be made with Cancer ascend- 
 ing, the Moon being received by Jupiter and 
 Venus in Pisces, and being fortunately placed 
 in the ninth house — and write upon it the 
 spirit of the Moon (which is Gabriel). 
 
 There are likewise made rings of dreams of 
 wonderful efficacy, and there are rings of the 
 Sun and Saturn — and the constellation of them 
 is, when the Sun or Saturn ascend in their 
 exaltation in the ninth, and when the Moon is 
 joined to Saturn in the ninth, and in that sign 
 which was the ninth house of the nativity, and 
 write and engrave upon the rings the name of 
 the spirit of the Sun or Saturn; and by these 
 rules you may know how and by what means to 
 constitute more of yourself. 
 
 But know this, that such images work no- 
 thing (as they are simply images), except they 
 are vivified by spiritual and celestial virtue, 
 and chiefly by the ardent desire and firm in- 
 tent of the soul of the operator. But who can 
 give a soul to an image, or make a stone, or 
 metal, or clay, or wood, or wax, or paper, to 
 live? Certainly no man whatever; for Jhis ar- 
 canum doth not enter into an artist of a stiff 
 neck. He only hath it who transcends the 
 progress of angels, and comes to the very 
 Archtype Himself. The tables of numbers 
 
 likewise confer to the receiving of oracles, be- 
 ing duly formed under their own constellations. 
 
 Therefore, he who is desirous of receiving 
 true oracles by dreams, let him abstain from 
 supper, from drink, and be otherwise well dis- 
 posed, so his brain will be free from turbulent 
 vapors; let him also have his bed-chamber 
 fair and clean, exorcised and consecrated; 
 then let him perfume the same with some con- 
 venient fumigation, and let him anoint his 
 temples with some unguent efficacious here- 
 unto, and put a ring of dreams upon his fin- 
 ger; then let him take one of the images we 
 have spoken of, and place the same under his 
 head; then let him address himself to sleep, 
 meditating upon that thing which he desires 
 to know. So shall he receive a most certain 
 and undoubted oracle by a dream when the 
 Moon goes through the sign of the ninth revo- 
 lution of his nativity, and when she is in the 
 ninth sign from the sign of perfection. 
 
 This is the way whereby we may obtain all 
 sciences and arts whatsoever, whether astrolo- 
 gy, occult philosophy, physic, etc., or else sud- 
 denly and perfectly with a true illumination 
 of our intellect, although all inferior familiar 
 spirits whatsoever conduce to this effect, and 
 sometimes also evil spirits sensibly inform us, 
 intrinsically and extrinsically. 
 
 Charm to Cure the Headache. — If the 
 pain be on the right side of the head, make a 
 comb out of the right horn of a ram; and if the 
 head be combed with it, it will take away the 
 pain. But if the pain be on the left side of the 
 head, then make a comb out of the left horn 
 of a ram, and if the head be combed therewith, 
 it will stop the pain. 
 
 Charm to Hinder from the Bite op a 
 Mad Dog. — The tooth of a mad dog which 
 has bitten any human being, tied in leather 
 and hung at the shoulder, will preserve and 
 keep the wearer from being bitten by any mad 
 dog so long as he wears it. It may be worn 
 next to the skin, or concealed in the clothing. 
 
 Charm to Make a Tree Bear Fruit. — 
 The seeds of roses, with mustard seed, and the 
 foot of a weasel, tied together in something, 
 and hung among the boughs or branches of a 
 tree which bears but little fruit, will remedy the 
 defect, and render the tree amazingly fruitful. 
 
 Charm against Trouble in General. — 
 Repeat reverently, and with sincere faith, the 
 following words, and you shall be protected in 
 the hour of danger: " He shall deliver thee in 
 six troubles, yea, in seven there shall no evil 
 touch thee; in famine he shall redeem thee 
 from death, and in war from the power of the 
 sword; and thou shalt know that thy taber- 
 nacle shall be in peace, and thou shalt visit 
 thy habitation and shall not err."

 PALMISTRY. 
 
 Showing the various Judgments 
 
 Drawn from the Hand. 
 
 I shall now say something of palmistry, 
 which is a judgment of the conditions, in- 
 clinations, and fortunes of men and women, 
 from the various lines and characters which 
 nature has imprinted in the hand, which are 
 almost as various as the hands that have them. 
 And to render what I shall say more plain. I 
 will, in the first place, present the scheme or 
 figures of the hand, and explain the various 
 lines therein : 
 
 
 1. Line of Lift. 
 
 2. Table 'Line. 
 
 3. Natural Line. 
 
 4. Girdle of Venus. 
 
 5. Line of Death. 
 
 0. Mount of Venus. 
 
 B} r this figure the reader will see that one of 
 these lines, and which, indeed, is reckoned 
 the principal, is called the line of life; this 
 line encloses the thumb, separating it from 
 the hollow of the hand. The next to it, 
 which is called the natural line, takes its be- 
 ginning from the rising of the forefinger, near 
 the line of life, and reaches to the table line, 
 and generally makes a triangle. The table 
 line, commonly called the line of fortune, be- 
 gins under the little linger, and ends near the 
 middle finger. The girdle of Venus, which 
 is another line so called, begins near the joint 
 of the little finger, and ends between the fore- 
 finger and the middle linger The line of 
 death is that which plainly appears in a coun- 
 ter line to that of life, and is by some called 
 the sister line, ending usually at the other end; 
 for when the line of life is ending, death 
 Comes, and it can go no further. There are 
 also lines in fleshy parts, as in the ball of the 
 thumb, which is called the mount of Venus, 
 under each of the fingers, are called mounts, 
 which are each one governed by a several 
 planet; and the hollow of the haiid is called 
 the plain of Mars, 
 
 I now proceed to give judgment of these 
 
 ral lines. And. in the first place, take 
 
 notice that in palmistry the left hand is chiefly 
 
 to be regarded^ because therein the lines are 
 
 mosl visible, and have the strictest communi- 
 cation with the heart and brains. Now. hav- 
 
 ing premised these, in the next place observe 
 the line of life, and if it be fair, extended to 
 its full length, and not broken with an inter- 
 mixture of cross lines, it shows long life and 
 health; and it is the same if a double line of 
 life appears, as there sometimes does. When 
 the stars appear in this line it is a significator 
 of great losses and calamities; if on it there 
 appear the figure of two O's, or a Y, it 
 threatens the person with blindness. If it 
 wraps itself about the table line, then does it 
 promise wealth and honor to be attained by 
 prudence and industry; if the line be cut or 
 jagged at the upper end. it denotes much sick- 
 ness. If this line be cut by any line coming 
 from the mount of Venus, it declares the per- 
 son to be unfortunate in love, and business 
 also, and threatens him with sudden death. 
 
 A cross between the line of life and the 
 table line shows the person to be very liberal 
 and charitable, and of a noble spirit. Let us 
 now see the signification of the table line. 
 
 The table line, when broad, and of a lovely 
 color, shows a healthful constitution and a 
 quiet and contented mind and courageous 
 spirit. But if it has crosses towards the little 
 finger, it threatens the party with much afflic- 
 tion by sickness. If the line be doubled, or 
 divided in three parts, in any of the extremi- 
 ties, it shows the party to be of a generous 
 temper, and of a good fortune to support it; 
 but if this line be forked at the end, it 
 threatens the person shall suffer by jealousies, 
 fears, and doubts, ami with the loss of riches 
 got by deceit. If three points such as these 
 . . . are found in it. they denote the per- 
 son prudent and liberal, a lover of learning 
 and of good temper. If it spreads itself to 
 the fore and middle fingers, and ends blunt, 
 it denotes preferment. Let us now see what 
 is signified by the middle finger: 
 
 The Hue has in it sometimes (for there is 
 scarce one hand in which it varies not) divers 
 significant characters. Many small lines be- 
 tween this and the table line threatens the 
 party with sickness, and also gives him hopes 
 of recovery. A half cross branching into this 
 line declares the person shall have honor, 
 riches, and good success in all his undertak- 
 ings. A half moon denotes cold and watery 
 distempers, but a sun or star upon this line 
 promiseth prosperity and riches. This line 
 doubled in a woman shows she will have seve- 
 ral husbands, but without any children by 
 them. 
 
 The line of Venus, if it happens to be cut 
 or divided near the forefinger, threatens ruin 
 to the party, and that it shall befall him by 
 means of a lascivious woman and bad com- 
 pany. Two crosses upon this line, one being 
 on the forefinger, and the other bending 
 
GIPSY FORTUNE TELLER AND DREAM BOOK. 
 
 61 
 
 towards the little finger, shows the party to be 
 weak and inclined to modesty and virtue; 
 and, indeed, it generally denotes modesty in 
 women; and, therefore, those who desire such 
 wives usually choose them by this standard. 
 
 The liver line, if it be straight and crossed 
 by other lines, shows the person to be of a 
 sound judgment and a piercing understand- 
 ing; but if it be winding, crooked, and bend- 
 ing outward, it shows deceit and flattery, and 
 that the person is not to be trusted. If it 
 makes a triangle, or a quadrangle, it shows a 
 person to be of a noble descent and ambitious. 
 
 The plain of Mars being in the hollow of 
 the hand, or if the line passes through it, 
 which renders it very plain, is fortunate; this 
 plain being hollowed, and the lines crooked 
 and distorted, threaten the party to fall by his 
 ill- conduct. When the lines begin at the 
 wrist, long within the plain, reaching the 
 brown of the hand, they show the person to 
 be one given to quarrelling, often in broils, 
 and of a hot and fiery spirit, by which he shall 
 suffer much damage. If deep, large crosses 
 in the middle of the plain, it shows the party 
 shall obtain honor by martial exploits; but if 
 it be a woman, that she shall have several hus- 
 bands, and easy labor with her children. 
 
 The line of death is fatal when any crosses 
 or broken lines appear in it; for they threaten 
 the person with sickness and short life. A 
 clouded moon appearing there, threatens a 
 child-bed woman with death. A bloody spot 
 in the line denotes a violent death. A star like 
 a comet threatens ruin by war and death by 
 pestilence; but if a bright sun appear therein, 
 it promises long life and prosperity. 
 
 As for the lines in the wrist, being fair, 
 they denote good fortune, but if crossed and 
 broken, the contrary. 
 
 Thus much with respect to the several lines 
 in the hand. Now as to the judgment to be 
 made from the hand itself; if the hand be soft 
 and long, and lean withal, it denotes a person 
 of a good understanding, a lover of peace, 
 and honest, discreet, serviceable, a good neigh- 
 bor, and a lover of learning. He whose 
 hands are very thick and very short, is there- 
 by signified to be faithful, strong, and la- 
 borious, and one that cannot long retain his 
 an r sr. He whose hands are full of hairs, and 
 th« e hairs thick and great ones, and his tin- 
 ge i withal be crooked, he is thereby noted to 
 br uxurious, vain, false, of a dull understand- 
 ir , and disposition, and more foolish than 
 wise. He whose hands and fingers do bend 
 upwards is commonly a man liberal, service- 
 able, a keeper of secrecy, and apt to be poor 
 (for he is seldom fortunate), to do any man 
 courtesy. He whose hand is stiff and will not 
 bend at the upper joint, near his finger, is al- 
 
 ways a wretched, miserable person, covetous, 
 obstinate, incredulous, and one that will be- 
 lieve nothing that contradicts his own private 
 interest. And thus much shall suffice to be 
 said of judgment made by palmistry. 
 
 Finger-Nail Observations. 
 
 Broad nails show the person to be bashful, 
 fearful, but of gentle nature. When there is 
 a certain white mark at the extremity of them, 
 it shows that the person has more honesty 
 than subtlety, and that his worldly substance 
 will be impaired through negligence. White 
 nails and long denote much sickness and in- 
 firmity, especially fevers, an indication of 
 strength and deceit by women. If upon the 
 white anything appears at the extremity 
 that is pale, it denotes short life by sudden 
 death, and the person to be given to melan- 
 choly. When there appears a certain mixed 
 redness, of divers colors, at the beginning of 
 the nails, it shows the person to be choleric 
 and quarrelsome. When the extremity is 
 black it is a sign of husbandry. Narrow nails 
 denote the person to be inclined to mischief, 
 and to do injury to his neighbor. Long nails 
 show the person to be good-natured, but mis- 
 trustful, and loves reconciliation rather than 
 differences. Oblique nails signify deceit and 
 want of courage. Little and round nails de- 
 note obstinate anger and hatred. If they be 
 crooked at the extremity, they show pride 
 and fierceness. Round nails show a choleric 
 person, yet soon reconciled, honest, and a 
 lover of secret sciences. Fleshy nails denote 
 the person to be mild in his temper, idle, and 
 lazy Pale and black nails show the person to 
 be very deceitful to his neighbor, and subject 
 to many diseases. Red and marked nails sig- 
 nify a choleric and martial nature, given to 
 cruelty; and, as many little marks as there 
 are," they speak of so many evil desires. 
 
 Several Characters or Semblances of 
 letters, and llnes in the hand, as 
 they tend to signify many things, ac- 
 cording to the art of palmistry, etc. 
 
 There are in this case divers letters, lines ap- 
 pearing in the hand, by which the wise in all 
 ages have given judgment in the foregoing 
 premises. 
 
 If the letter A be found on the Mount of 
 Jupiter, or at the root of the middle finger, 
 promises growing fortune, and, perhaps, con- 
 siderable preferments by the favor of princes 
 and great men.

 If B be found on the Mount of the Sun, 
 which is at the root of the finger, it signifies 
 length of days, prosperity j and much to be be- 
 loved, as also a virtuous person. 
 
 If C, with a star over, appears on the 
 Mount of Venus, it gives the person early and 
 happy life. 
 
 If the letter L be on the Mount of Saturn, 
 which is at the root of the middle finger, and 
 cut with cross lines, it denotes the party to be 
 under much affliction, to be given to melan- 
 choly, and short-lived. 
 
 The letter K on the Mount of Mercury, 
 which is at the root of the little finger, denotes 
 the party to rise to preferment by ingenuity 
 and marriage. 
 
 The letter D on the Mount of the Moon de- 
 notes the party kind, good-natured, and much 
 beloved. 
 
 The letter G in the Plain of Mars, near the 
 Line of Life, speaks the party to be of a vio- 
 lent temper, given to anger, and threatens him 
 or her with sudden untimely death; however, 
 to a woman it promises a husband that grows 
 great in military affairs; and thus much for 
 characters of this kind. 
 
 DIVINATION. 
 
 How to obtain some Knowledge of 
 Future Events. 
 
 Any person fasting on midsummer eve, and 
 sitting in the church porch, will, at midnight, 
 see the spirits of the persons of that parish, 
 who will die that year, come and knock at the 
 church-door in the order and succession in 
 which they will die. One of these watchers, 
 there being several in company, fell into a 
 profound sleep, so that he could not be 
 waked; whilst in this state his ghost was seen 
 by the rest of his companions knocking at the 
 church-door. Any unmarried woman fasting 
 on midsummer eve, and at midnight laying a 
 clean cloth, with bread, cheese, and ale, and 
 sitting down as if going to eat, the street-door 
 being left open, the person whom she is after- 
 ward to marry will come into the room, and 
 drink to her by bowing; and afterward fill- 
 ing the glass, will leave it on the table, and 
 making another bow, retire. On St. Agnes's 
 night, the 21st of January, take a row of pins, 
 and pull out every one, one after another, 
 .saying a paternoster, on sticking a pin in 
 your sleeve, and you will dream of him you 
 
 shall marry. Another method to see a future 
 spouse in a dream: the party inquiring must 
 lie in a different country from that in which 
 he commonly resides, and, on going to bed, 
 must knit the left garter about the right- 
 legged stocking, letting the other garter and 
 stocking alone; and as you rehearse the fol- 
 lowing verses, at every comma knit a knot: 
 
 This knot I knit, 
 
 To know a thing I know not yet, 
 
 That I may see 
 
 The man that shall my husband be, 
 
 How he goes and what he wears, 
 
 And what he does all days and years. 
 
 Accordingly, in a dream he will appear 
 with the insignia of his trade or profession. 
 Another performed by charming the moon, 
 thus: At the first appearance of the new 
 moon, immediately after the new year's day, 
 go out in the evening and stand over the 
 spears of a gate or stile, and, looking on the 
 moon, repeat the following lines: 
 
 All hail to thee, moon! all hail to thee, 
 I prithee, good moon, reveal to me 
 This night who my husband must be. 
 
 The party will then dream of their future 
 husband. A slice of the bride-cake, thrice 
 thrown through the wedding-ring, and laid 
 under the head of an unmarried woman, will 
 make them dream of their future husband. 
 The same is practiced in the North with a 
 piece of the groaning cheese. 
 
 TRADITIONAL WAY TO 
 
 Baffle Your Enemies. 
 
 Repeat reverently, and with sincere faith, 
 the following words, and you will be pro- 
 tected in the hour of danger: 
 
 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, 
 and not be afraid, for the Lord Jehovah is my 
 strength and my song; he also is become my 
 salvation. 
 
 " For the stars of heaven, and the constel- 
 lation thereof, shall not give their light; the 
 sun shall he darkened in his going forth, and 
 the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 
 
 "And behold, at, eventide, trouble; ami be- 
 fore morning he is not; this is the portion of 
 
 them that spoil us, and the lot of them that 
 rob us."
