+
+
+
+
+ FONTAINE’S
+
+ GOLDEN WHEEL DREAM-BOOK,
+
+ AND
+
+ FORTUNE-TELLER.
+
+
+ THE GOLDEN WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
+
+
+This singular wheel was much consulted in the middle ages, and is said
+to have been used by Cagliostro to aid him in his divinations. I have
+selected it from an old Latin manuscript on Astrology, and translated
+it into English for the benefit of those of my readers who cannot read
+the former language. SEE FRONTISPIECE.
+
+
+ THE GOLDEN WHEEL OF FORTUNE SHOWS:
+
+ I. _Whether you shall obtain the favor of the person you desire?_
+
+ II. _If the querent shall meet with the preferment he wisheth for?_
+
+ III. _Whether a sick person will recover?_
+
+ IV. _If the said sickness will be long or short?_
+
+ V. _Shall your expectation or wish succeed?_
+
+ VI. _If it is good for you to marry, or otherwise?_
+
+ VII. _Whether the friendship of a certain person will prove
+ advantageous or not?_
+
+ VIII. _Whether a person shall be rich or poor? etc., etc._
+
+
+ HOW TO TELL FORTUNES BY THE GOLDEN WHEEL.
+
+The person whose fortune is to be told, must place the wheel of
+Fortune face downward, prick into a number (it is better to do it with
+their eyes shut), then refer for an explanation, which stands at the
+corresponding number as that you pricked into. (See Frontispiece.)
+
+_The following observations answer for either sex, the party,
+therefore, trying this wheel, must alter wife for husband, or just as
+the answers may suit either party._
+
+1. If this number is fixed upon, it assures the person that you will
+marry an homely person, but rich.
+
+2. Whatever your intentions are, for the present, decline them. Those
+absent will return.
+
+3. Shows loss of friends; bad success at law; loss of money;
+unfaithfulness in love.
+
+4. If your desires are extravagant, they will not be granted; but mind
+how you make use of your fortune.
+
+5. Very good fortune; sudden prosperity; great respect from high
+personages; a letter bringing important news.
+
+6. Look well to those who owe you money, if ever so little, a letter of
+abuse may be expected.
+
+7. Your lover will act constant and true toward you.
+
+8. A friend has crossed the sea, and will bring home riches, by which
+you will be much benefited.
+
+9. A loving partner; success in your undertakings; a large and
+prosperous family.
+
+10. Your husband will not have a great fortune, but with your
+assistance he is likely to live in middling circumstances.
+
+11. A very sudden journey, with a pleasant fellow-traveller, and the
+result of the journey will be generally beneficial to your family.
+
+12. You may regain that which you have lost with great perseverance and
+trouble.
+
+13. A letter of importance will arrive, announcing the death of a
+relative for whom you have no very great respect, but who has left you
+a legacy.
+
+14. By venturing carefully, you will gain doubly, though you will
+suffer great privation.
+
+15. You will meet with many crosses before you are comfortably settled.
+
+16. Too sudden acquaintance with the opposite sex; but which will be
+opposed; notwithstanding the party should persevere, as it will be to
+his or her advantage.
+
+17. An agreeable partner, a good temper, and a large family of children.
+
+18. Let the chooser of this number persevere; for your schemes are
+good, and must succeed.
+
+19. You will marry young, and have dutiful children.
+
+20. Your lover may be low in circumstances, but affectionate.
+
+21. Your marriage will add to your welfare, and you will be very happy.
+
+22. A drunken partner, bad success in trade, but the party will never
+be very poor, though always unhappy.
+
+23. Do not neglect your lover; let your conduct command respect.
+
+24. You have many friends, and will probably have a large and virtuous
+family.
+
+25. Your travels will be prosperous, if you are prudent.
+
+26. You have many enemies, who will endeavor to make you unhappy.
+
+27. The luck that is ordained for you, will be coveted by others.
+
+28. Be very prudent in your conduct, as this number is very precarious,
+and much depends upon yourself; it is generally good.
+
+29. Beware, or you will be deceived by the person you are paying your
+attentions to.
+
+30. You love one who is affectionate and true, and deserves respect.
+
+31. You too fantastically refuse offers. Be prudent when you accept, or
+you will be sorry.
+
+32. You will be very unfortunate for a short time, but be careful, and
+your situation will very soon alter.
+
+33. A fortune will be yours, but be not over anxious.
+
+34. Alter your intentions, or you will be sorry when it is too late.
+
+35. You will have a rich, but jealous partner, and will live very
+uncomfortably.
+
+36. You will have a sober, steady, and affectionate partner, but poor.
+
+37. A very good fortune, sudden prosperity, and a large family.
+
+38. The persons who choose this unlucky number, must look well to their
+conduct; or justice will overtake them.
+
+39. Remain among your friends, then you will escape misfortune.
+
+40. You will have an affectionate partner, but no family; and a large
+fortune.
+
+41. If you have a fortune, be charitable; if but little, be frugal.
+
+42. You will have a quarrel with your lover, through jealousy.
+
+43. You must bear your losses with fortitude.
+
+44. You will get a handsome, young, and wealthy partner.
+
+45. When your conduct changes, your fortune will mend, by marrying a
+rich partner.
+
+46. You have mixed with bad company, and you may depend on it, that you
+will be brought to disgrace.
+
+47. A large family of healthy children, give them learning, and they
+will honor their father and mother.
+
+48. You will be very unfortunate at first, but persevere, and your
+schemes will be successful.
+
+49. You have a number of secret enemies, who will try to do you an
+injury; be on your guard and you will prosper.
+
+50. Your happiness will consist in doing good: they are pleasing spots
+in the memory, which vexations cannot erase.
+
+51. You will die an old maid, you have been too whimsical in choosing
+for yourself a partner.
+
+52. Your lover will travel in Europe, and will be very successful.
+
+53. You will marry a person with whom you will have but little comfort.
+
+54. This is a very lucky number; whatever you do, will always prove
+successful.
+
+55. After much misfortune, you will be pretty comfortable and happy.
+

+
+ WHAT ARE DREAMS?
+
+
+I offer you in this work, my dear reader, all that can be collected
+in reference to dreams. Notwithstanding the proverbial saying, “All
+dreams are lies,” we frequently see the realization of them, and by
+them we are informed of more or less interesting events which afterward
+happen to us. A prudent and enlightened man will therefore examine
+carefully his dreams to know which he ought to interpret, neglecting
+those which are extravagant because of too exalted an imagination or of
+a disturbed digestion.
+
+In consulting this book with attention, in seeking in it for the
+explanation of your dreams, and calculating the causes which have
+produced them, you will rarely depart from the truth, because you will
+be following the rules of a wise combination, which will prevent you
+from falling into an illusory if not fatal error.
+
+
+ FOREKNOWLEDGE, OR INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS.
+
+In the Holy Scriptures God says, that he “will pour his Spirit on all
+flesh, that the young men and maidens shall prophesy, the old men shall
+see visions, and the young men dream dreams.” Both sacred and profane
+history are full of so many examples of the fulfilment of dreams, that
+he must be very skeptical and but little versed in natural science who
+would refuse to have faith in them.
+
+Hippocrates says that when the body is asleep the soul is awake, and
+transports itself everywhere, where the body would be able to go, that
+it knows and sees all that the body could know or see were it awake;
+that it touches all the body could touch, in a word, that it performs
+all the actions that the body of a sleeping man could do were he awake.
+
+There are five kinds of dreams, differently named according to their
+different qualities. The first is dream, the second vision, the third
+oracle, the fourth revery, and the fifth apparition.
+
+A dream is that which, while we are asleep, shows us the truth hidden
+under certain figures, as when Joseph interpreted to king Pharaoh the
+dream concerning the seven lean kine that devoured the seven fat ones;
+the dream of the seven full ears of corn, etc.
+
+A vision is simply a dream happening when the body is awake instead of
+sleeping, as Vespasian when he saw the surgeon who had extracted Nero’s
+tooth.
+
+The oracle is a revelation, or information given us by some angel or
+other celestial spirit who does God’s bidding. The angel appearing to
+Joseph the husband of the Virgin, and to the wise men, are examples of
+this.
+
+Revery occurs when the passions are so vehement that they destroy the
+mental equilibrium for a time. Then what one thinks of during the day
+he will dream of at night, as a lover who has been thinking during the
+day of his beloved one will continue to do so at night while he is
+sleeping. Sometimes when one fears to meet a person, he will dream at
+night that he has met him; having fasted during the day, he will dream
+of eating, or, having been thirsty, of drinking. Avarice will make the
+miser dream of his gold, and speak of it when sleeping, as he would not
+do when awake.
+
+Apparition is named Phantom by the Greeks, and is only that nocturnal
+vision sometimes presented to children and weak-minded persons, who
+imagine they see objects presented to intimidate or pain them.
+
+Of these five kinds of dreams, the three first have an appearance of
+truth, but the last two are absolutely false.
+
+It is to be remarked, with regard to all dreams, that those of which
+only parts are remembered, signify nothing at all; that those that
+memory retains are good and true; that they ought to occur about
+day-break, or at least after midnight, because until that time the
+senses and the body are occupied in the labor of digestion, and the
+mind disturbed by the remembrance of dinner, can dream of nothing
+reasonable. Nevertheless Artemidorus says, that a sober, temperate, and
+tranquil man can dream at any hour of the night, or even during the
+day, and that the fulfilment of such dreams will be certain.
+
+Some authors divide dreams into three kinds, namely, dreams of natural
+objects, of animals, and of celestial objects. The natural things are
+those by which physicians judge of the temperament; dreams of animals
+show the passions and cares that the mind has felt during the day;
+those of celestial objects are the intimations of divine things, as
+for example, the statue that the king of Babylon saw when asleep, which
+is so well explained by the prophet Daniel.
+
+There are few persons who have the gift of dreaming that which will be
+fulfilled, fewer still who know how to interpret them, because it is
+necessary to observe many things not generally known.
+
+There are two principal kinds of dreams, the speculative or
+contemplative, and the allegorical or significative. To these one ought
+to pay attention, the speculative happening in the fulfilment as it
+occurred in dreams, for example: A prisoner in a small prison at Paris
+dreamed that a cord was being attached to his neck to hang him, that
+after it was done a stranger appeared with a sword who severed the cord
+and delivered him from death; this was fulfilled the next day, for the
+judge having pronounced his sentence, and given him to the hangman, he
+was delivered by unknown persons employed by his friends. Allegorical
+dreams on the contrary never happen as one has dreamed. Thus, to dream
+of an angel, signifies revelation or good news, but to see a serpent
+which tries to bite one signifies troubles arising from the envy of
+others.
+
+Speculative dreams are soon fulfilled, allegorical ones not so quickly;
+a day or two often intervening between the dream and its completion.
+
+
+ ABOUT THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS.
+
+ “Dreams? Nonsense!” I hear some grave-faced person cry. Indeed!
+And where did this grave-faced person learn his wisdom? Not from
+experience, I will engage. No, experience teaches us the reverse of
+this. Dreams are _by no means_ nonsense. This I maintain openly in the
+face of all the world.
+
+I maintain even that _every dream has its signification_. Not that it
+always discloses the future, I am far from asserting that. I say only
+it _has its signification_. Commonly a dream "permits us to cast a
+glance into the soul or into the heart of man. The thoughts which dwell
+in the former, and the feelings which sway the latter, shape themselves
+in sleep into various images, which throw a strong light upon the
+character. There have no doubt been many extravagant fictions palmed
+off as facts relative to dreams, but yet enough credible evidence
+exists of their importance to make any strange dream the subject of
+reflection and examination on the part of the dreamer; and it cannot be
+denied that many things in our dreams are actually omens.
+
+
+ A LIST OF DREAMS, WITH THEIR TRUE INTERPRETATION, TOGETHER WITH
+ THE LUCKY NUMBERS OF THE LOTTERY WHICH THEY SIGNIFY.
+
+ABOVE. To dream you see any thing hanging _above_ you signifies you
+will improve in your worldly prospects, and soon be in a better
+situation than you were before you had the dream. 76, 62, 14.
+
+ABSENCE. To dream of absent persons, signifies that they will soon
+return. It also denotes success in business. 4, 22.
+
+ABSCESS. If you dream you have an abscess, or running sore on your
+person, it foretells good fortune and good health, to be preceded by
+sickness. 3, 27.
+
+ABUSE. To dream that you are abused and insulted, is a sign that some
+dispute will happen between you and some person with whom you have
+business; if you are in love, be assured that some one has attempted to
+injure you with the object of your affections, and that they have in a
+great measure succeeded. 6, 38, 44.
+
+ABUNDANCE. If you dream you have an over-abundance of any thing, it
+goes by contrary, and is a sign of a scarcity; as if a farmer should
+dream that he had a great crop, it would predict a scarcity—not perhaps
+of that particular article of which he dreamed, but of something that
+would be important to him. 15.
+
+ABYSS. To see an abyss, or deep hole, is a warning; avoid, after such
+a dream, taking a journey by land, or a voyage by sea, for eight-and
+forty hours, because it forebodes accidents by travelling. 62, 19.
+
+ACCIDENT. To dream that an accident has happened to you, or to any one
+of your household, or with whom you live, foretells that you will see
+some one whom you little expect to see. 72, 3, 11.
+
+ACCOUNTS. Dreams that relate to making up accounts are good omens. If
+you dream you found an error in your money account, it foretells that
+you will have a piece of good luck. Accounts blotted with ink is a sign
+of sickness. 14.
+
+ACCUSE. To dream a person accuses you of any thing, is favorable to the
+dreamer. 66, 4.
+
+ACORN. (_See Oak._) To dream you see swine eating acorns denotes that
+you will have reverses in business, and lose if you are not very
+careful; to dream of picking acorns signifies that a rich relative will
+leave you a fortune. 65.
+
+ACQUAINTANCE. To dream you quarrel or fight with an acquaintance,
+forebodes divisions in your own family; in love, unfaithfulness; and
+losses in business. 42, 6.
+
+ACTRESS. If you dream you love her, it is a sign you will meet with
+adversities. If you dream you see her on the stage you will be
+successful in all your undertakings. 68, 5, 18.
+
+ADDER. To dream of this reptile is a sign that some one whom you think
+friendly to you will injure you in some way. 19, 2.
+
+ADULTERY. It is in most cases a bad omen to dream that you have
+perpetrated this act. If the person you dreamed about is married, or
+is a prostitute, you may almost be sure that some misfortune will
+overtake you. If she is a virgin, it merely predicts that you will
+shortly have an invitation to a wedding. For a married woman to dream
+of adultery is a sign she will soon conceive and have a girl. To an
+unmarried woman such a dream is a sign of misfortune. 51, 7, 3.
+
+AGUE. To dream that you have one, warns you against an inclination to
+strong drink; to dream your sweetheart has an ague, denotes affection
+and happiness. 39, 6, 1.
+
+AIR. To dream that you see it clear and serene, shows that you shall
+be beloved and esteemed by most people; if at law, success. In short,
+all good is denoted by clear and serene air. But to dream that the air
+is thick, cloudy, dark, and troubled, denotes to the dreamer, grief,
+sickness, loss of good, hindrance of business, and crosses in love. 12,
+9.
+
+ALMONDS. Signify riches and happiness; to eat them shows you will have
+good luck in love matters. 73, 18, 10.
+
+ALLIGATOR. (_See Reptile._)
+
+ALMS. To dream they are begged of you, and you refuse them, shows want
+and misery to the dreamer; but to dream you give them freely, is a sign
+of joy and long life. 11, 13, 4.
+
+ALTAR. To dream of an altar, betokens gladness, and affection in love.
+Of an _Ark_, the same. 71, 63, 4.
+
+ANCHOR. To dream you see one, signifies unexpected success in love; but
+in business, it shows the success to be distant, and only obtainable
+with care. 47, 36.
+
+ANGEL. To dream you see angels in your sleep, is a sign some are near
+you, and that the rest of your dream will come to pass. To see many
+angels, is a sign of many children, and much prosperity. 16, 8, 24.
+
+ANGER. (_See Rage._) To dream that you have been provoked to anger,
+shows that you have powerful enemies; and warns you to be careful that
+all you do should be strictly honorable; but it also signifies you will

+with them, signifies malicious, though secret enemies; and warns you
+against carrying on law-suits. 17, 6.
+
+APPARITION. To dream you see an apparition or spirit, clothed in white,
+signifies deceit, temptation to sin, and disappointment in love. 57.
+
+The following is an old prediction in verse:
+
+ To dream of seeing strange apparitions,
+ As devils, hobgoblins, and such visions,
+ Does show thy love, or thy sweetheart,
+ Hath a fair face, but devil’s heart.
+
+APPAREL. (_See Silks and Satins._) To dream that your clothes are
+good, denotes prosperity and happiness; of white apparel, is good only
+for clergymen; to others it is a sign of trouble; to mechanics, decline
+of business; to the sick, death. If of black, however, it is of their
+recovery; of rich scarlet apparel, is good for rich men, signifying
+honor; but is death to the sick, and loss or captivity to the poor; to
+dream of women’s apparel, is good for the unmarried; but to a married
+man loss of his wife or sickness. 17, 20.
+
+APPLES, or APPLE-TREES. (_See Orchard._) If sweet, denote joy and
+pleasure, especially to women and maids. Sour apples signify contention
+and sedition. 4, 11, 44.
+
+APRICOTS. Content, health, and pleasure, if in season; if otherwise,
+vain hopes, bad fortune. 22, 5, 64.
+

+it is good, if they do not bite you. 17, 4.
+
+ASS. To dream you hear an ass bray, shows you will meet with some loss;
+to see an ass run, signifies misfortune. 62, 18, 20.

+hindrance of business, and that it requires much circumspection to
+insure success in your affairs. It also denotes loss of property. 16.
+
+AWAKING. To dream you awake yourself is a happy end to all sorrow. To
+awake another is a sign you will inspire with love the one you wish.
+61, 4.
+
+BACK. To dream that your back is broken, hurt, or scabby, shows that
+your enemies will get the better of you. To dream of the backbone,

+

+with a lady, it is a sign you will marry her; if you dream that she is
+gone, and you are looking round to find her and cannot, it foretells
+that she will not live long after marriage. Dreaming of playing ball,
+or seeing it played, foretells the speedy receipt of money; to see the
+ball roll about, signifies delay in its reception. 54, 11, 55.
+
+BALLOON. Signifies you will undertake many visionary things in
+business, and success will not attend you. 46.

+you are eating a banana, it is a sign you will be rich and happy. To
+dream you see bananas growing denotes success in love matters. If a
+girl dreams that her lover presents her with a ripe banana it foretells
+she will soon be married, or ought to be. 4, 11, 44.
+
+BANK. If you dream you go to a large bank, and have money there, it is
+a sign that you will be poor at some future period of your life. 5, 78.

+life. 2, 78.

+
+GOGGLES. To dream that you are wearing these glasses to protect the

+better, as it predicts that you will have honors conferred upon you.
+10, 11.
+

+plenty; but scattered grain is the reverse of this. 69.

+pretty easy, and have things go slick afterward. 4, 11, 44.
+
+GREEN. If you see green things, such as fruit, grass, green fields,
+&c., in your dream, it is a sign of long life, but if the color has

+somewhere—perhaps a summons to court. 19, 16.
+

+miserable. 55.
+
+GROTTO. To dream of being in a grotto, or cavern in the earth, shows

+ A maid who dreams of verdant groves,
+ Will surely have the man she loves;
+ But if the groves are nipped with frost,
+ She’ll be as sure in marriage crossed.
+
+GROW. If you dream that a tree or shrub grows fast, it is a sign that
+you will do something in a hurry that you will afterward be sorry for:

+GRUB. (_See Worm._) To dream of clean-looking, white fat grubs, is a
+sign of good crops to farmers, but to dream of black or dirty looking
+grubs is the reverse. For a girl to dream of grubs is a bad sign, as it
+puts her in peril of losing her virtue; but to a married woman it is a
+good sign, for the reason that she will soon be in the family way. 49,
+70, 65.
+
+GRUEL. To dream of drinking gruel, is a good sign if you are sick, as

+and plays on the instrument at the same time. 45, 24.

+strife: if you imagine some friend fires it, it shows that there Will
+be a difficulty with him. If you dream of killing a bird, squirrel, or

+some quarrel. For a lover to dream of firing a gun, is a sign he will
+have trouble with his sweetheart. 21, 57, 16.
+

+
+GUTTER. If you dream of lying in a gutter, or of seeing a man so
+reclining, it foretells that some honor awaits you, or some one in
+whose success you take an interest. If a girl dreams of a broken
+gutter, she should be careful of allowing her lover to be too familiar
+with her person, or some accident may happen. 27, 65.
+
+HACK. (_See Carriage._) If you see, in your dream, a row of hacks, or
+carriages at a funeral, it shows that you’ll soon attend a wedding or a
+jolly party. 32, 19.
+
+HAIL. To dream of a hail-storm, is a sign that you will make a good
+bargain, or will be lucky in some undertaking, provided the hail is
+white or in crystals; black hail, denotes sorrow and death, therefore
+you should never dream of that kind of hail if you can help it. To
+dream of seeing white hail lying on the ground intimates that you’ll
+soon get plenty of cash in some transaction. 21, 72.
+
+HAIR. If you dream that your hair is thick and bushy, it shows that
+you’ll grow rich or powerful; if you dream it is curly and kinky, when
+in fact it is not, it is a sign you’ll do something that you will
+afterward be ashamed of; if, in your dream, you imagine that your hair
+has fallen off, or that it has become extremely thin, it is a bad omen,
+as it shadows forth sickness, and perhaps death. 42.
+
+HAM. Dreaming of fine-looking hams is a good omen; but if they are
+wormy or in any way blemished, it spoils all the luck, and shows that
+you will be unfortunate. To dream of eating fine-tasting hams is a sign
+that you will do something noted that will create a talk, but all in
+your favor; if the ham that you eat is bad and wormy, the said talk
+will be a scandal against you. 30, 1.
+
+HAMMER. To dream that you see or hear hammering, denotes thrift to some
+one of your friends; if you are using the hammer yourself, it shows
+that you will be fortunate. A hammer is a good article to dream about.
+3.
+
+HAND. If you dream that your right hand is injured, or any thing is the
+matter with it, it shows that you will soon be called upon to assist
+a friend in distress; if it is your left hand, assistance will be
+solicited from you for an unfortunate stranger. 22, 78.
+
+HANGED. (_See Execution._) To dream of being hanged is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells that you will become either rich or
+distinguished. If you dream you are going to be hanged, it is nearly as
+good, as it betokens success in all your undertakings; but should you
+imagine that you eluded the officers of the law and escaped, that is a
+bad omen, as it foretells disappointment and ill-luck. The theory of
+such dreams is, that they always work by contraries. 10, 7, 6.
+
+HARP. To dream you play upon the harp, indicates that you have some
+envious enemies who seek to injure you with slander. To dream you hear
+any person play upon the harp, is a sign that if you have sick friends
+they will recover. In love affairs this dream is very lucky. 5, 11.
+
+HARVEST. To dream of a harvest field is a good omen. If you dream you
+are working in one it indicates success in business. To lovers, this is
+one of the most fortunate signs; to a young man, it signifies he will
+wed a rich and beautiful bride; to a young maiden, it is a sign she
+will soon be engaged to the object of her affections; to the married,
+it signifies domestic bliss. 4, 11, 44.
+
+HASTE. (_See Running and Walking._)
+
+HAT. For a man to dream he has got a new hat shadows forth good luck
+and advancement; dreaming of an old or shabby hat is a sign he will
+soon fall in love; and if he dreams he is wearing such a hat, the omen
+is not so favorable, for he will probably endeavor to take improper
+liberties with his sweetheart and be successful. 21, 6.
+
+HATCHING. To dream of hatching fowls of any kind is a sign of thrift;
+if you imagine, in your dream, that a hen comes off with a very large
+brood of chickens, it shadows forth so much cash to be made by you in
+some bargain. 24, 68.
+
+HATRED. To dream that you hate any particular person is a sign that
+he or she has been talking bad about you. If a girl should ever be
+so silly as to dream such a dream about her lover, it shows that he
+meditates an attack upon her chastity; on the contrary, if she dreams
+that he hates her, it is a sign that she possesses his whole heart. 44.
+
+HAWK. If you dream of seeing a very large hawk, it shows that you
+will soon begin a new enterprise; if the hawk darts down and takes a
+chicken, a bird, or a fish, you will probably be successful; if little
+birds attack the hawk and drive it away, you will have difficulties in
+your undertaking and may possibly fail in it. 5, 55.
+
+HAY. (_See Raking and Harvest._) To dream of making hay, signifies
+success in all your undertakings. This is a good omen to young lovers.
+To dream you are selling hay is a bad omen, and portends losses in
+business and dangerous accidents. 49, 11.
+
+HEAD. To dream of heads in any way is a good omen: if you dream
+your own head is very large, it shows that you will probably become
+distinguished; if you see a large-headed person in your dream, it is a
+sign you will make the acquaintance of some one who will benefit you.
+65, 9.
+
+HEAL. If you dream of having a sore on your person that was healed up
+quick, it is a sign that some one will cut your acquaintance; if you
+have a sweetheart or lover, it is probable something will happen to
+break off the intimacy. 20.
+
+HEART. To dream of a heart is a bad omen. If you lose your heart it
+signifies sickness and death. To the married it denotes infidelity
+of their marital vows. To dream you see a human heart shows you are
+sincerely beloved; but to dream you have a pain or palpitation in your
+heart shows you are doomed to suffer through treachery. 46, 11.
+
+HEAT. If you dream of being in a place that is extremely hot, or if the
+weather is so hot that the heat affects you, it shows that some person
+is preparing either to attack you or give you a good scolding. 71, 6.
+
+HEN. (_See Chicken._)
+
+HIDE, or HIDDEN. To dream of concealing anything by hiding it, or
+putting it in an out-of-the-way place, is a sign that some one will
+reveal a secret that you have told. It is a bad omen for lovers to
+dream of hiding things, as it predicts that their intimacy will be
+talked about as suspicious. 45, 78.
+
+HILL. To dream of going up a hill is a sign you will rise in the world,
+and of going down hill the reverse; if, in your dream, you seem to
+be approaching a smooth high hill, it shows that you will shortly
+have a piece of good fortune; but if the hill be rugged and stony, it
+foretells difficulties in connection with the good fortune. 1, 46, 18.
+
+ To dream of mountains, hills, or rocks,
+ Does signify, slouts, scoffs, and mocks;
+ Their pains in passing over shew,
+ That she whom you love, loves not you.
+
+HISSING. To dream of hearing hissing noises, such as steam makes, or of
+geese hissing, is a sign of shame. If a girl dreams this, it foretells
+that she will do something she is ashamed of: to a man it is a sign he
+will do an undignified act, or one that will injure his prospects. 47.
+
+HOG. To dream of well-kept and happy-looking hogs is a good omen, as it
+foretells luck and success: but if you see lean and hungry-looking hogs
+squealing, it shows that any speculation you may enter into about that
+time will not be of much account if it does not result in a loss. 64.
+
+HOG’S-BRISTLES. This dream denotes great violence and danger. 21, 7.
+
+HOLE. (_See Abyss._)
+
+HOMINY. To dream of eating hominy with a relish is a sign that you will
+marry below your station in life, or else you will entertain a new
+acquaintance who is much below you in position, who will eventually
+command your esteem. To an educated young girl such a dream predicts a
+runaway match. 2, 10.
+
+HONEY. This dream denotes you will have a long and happy life. If you
+dream you are eating honey it denotes that something will happen that
+will give you great joy or pleasure. To a young girl it is a sign that
+she will soon have a lover that will please her. 49, 3, 1.
+
+HOPS. To dream of seeing a large garden of hops in full leaf, denotes
+thrift and wealth: if you see dried hops, and smell their fragrance,
+it shows that you will shortly come into a good lump of money from a
+legacy or a successful speculation. 27, 9.
+
+ To maid who dreams of fragrant hops,
+ A lover soon the question pops!
+ And marries, too, with quick dispatch—
+ Nine children fair will bless that match!
+
+HORNS. To see horns on the head of another person, danger to the
+dreamer on your own wealth and importance. To dream you are gored by a
+horned animal denotes unhappiness. To lovers it usually predicts that
+they will have difficulty in connection with their desires; if they
+think of marrying, some obstacle will be placed in the way of their
+union, though perhaps not prevent it in the end. 9, 18, 36.
+
+HORSE. If you dream of riding well and easily on the back of this
+noble animal, your fortune is sure to advance in the world: but if you
+imagine you are thrown from a horse, it is a sign of disgrace. To dream
+of swapping horses shows that some one will cheat you in a bargain; of
+selling a horse, it is a sign of loss; but of buying one, predicts that
+you will make money by some speculation, or else by selling property.
+Horses are excellent animals to dream about. 2, 11, 22.
+
+HOUSE. (_See Repairing._) To dream you build a house denotes you will
+have a comfortable life: to burn your house signifies increased riches:
+to dream you spill water in a house is a sign of care and affliction:
+to dream you see a house fall denotes death. Dreaming of building
+houses, wearing fine clothes, and talking with ladies, is a sign that
+the parties will suddenly marry. 47, 66.
+
+HOUSEHOLD UTENSILS. The pot denotes the life; the platter the actions
+of life; the candlestick intends the wife; the light, or lantern, the
+husband; the hearth the estate; vessels of wine are the servants; the
+stores cupboards, and cabinets mean the wife. 24, 7.
+
+HUG. If a young girl dreams of being fondled and hugged by her lover,
+it is a sign he will soon get sick of her and want to be off: it is not
+half so bad to let him hug her in real earnest as it is to dream of it.
+The same sign holds good with the other sex. 2, 11.
+
+HUNGRY. (_See Fast._) To dream of being hungry foretells that you
+will soon engage in some new enterprise which will prove successful.
+Hungry dreams are excellent omens to lovers, as they denote energy
+and success. If a girl dreams that a gentleman comes to see her who
+is hungry, it is a sign that he will woo her in such an earnest and
+affectionate manner as to win her heart. 19, 37.
+
+HUSBANDRY. To dream of implements in husbandry, has a variety of
+interpretations: to dream of a plough, denotes success in life, and a
+good marriage; to dream of a yoke, is unfavorable, unless it be broken;
+to dream of a team, death in a family, to dream of a scythe signifies
+sickness. 76, 44.
+
+HUNTING. To dream of going a hunting brings an accusation of
+dishonesty: if you are returning from the chase, good fortune awaits
+you. 8, 10.
+
+HUT. To dream that you live in a small hut is a sign that you will
+shortly have a house of your own. If in your dream, you visit a little
+hut which is inhabited, it shows that you will be invited to partake of
+the hospitalities of some family. 29, 70.
+
+ICE. (_See Skating and Sliding._) To dream of walking on slippery ice
+in winter, is a sign that misfortune threatens you: if you slip down,
+it foreshadows bad luck: if you dream of gliding or skating easily over
+smooth ice, it shows that you will probably have a difficulty of some
+kind, but will overcome it and get through handsomely. For lovers to
+dream of going over ice is a bad omen. 4, 28.
+
+ILLNESS. (_See Sickness._) To dream that you are ill and confined to
+your bed is a sign that some one will overreach you in a bargain, or
+cheat you in some way. Such a dream is a bad omen to loves, as it
+predicts false vows. 16, 38.
+
+ILLUMINATION. To dream of an illumination augurs success in life and
+much happiness; if the light begins to disappear, sorrow and many tears
+will be your portion. 24, 68.
+
+IMPERTINENCE. If a girl dreams that she meets a gentleman who is
+impertinent toward her in conversation, it is a sign she will make a
+new male acquaintance who will be very agreeable to her: if she gets
+angry at the said impertinence she will probably fall in love with her
+new friend and either marry him or be on improper intimate terms with
+him. 1, 11.
+
+INDIGO. To dream of indigo, denotes to a female that she will cross the
+ocean. When she dreams of putting the indigo in water, and it gives no
+color, she may be assured she will arrive in India. But to embrace the
+water in the usual way, no such thing will come to pass. 27, 15.
+
+INFANT. (_See Child._) Dreaming of a young infant is an excellent omen,
+as it foretells joy and gladness, good luck, and success generally.
+Lovers who dream such a dream may be sure of a happy and thrifty
+marriage. To a business man this dream predicts a new and successful
+enterprise. 29, 76.
+
+INK. To dream that you see splashes of ink on white paper, or on
+anything, is a sign of scandal: after such a dream, you may be sure
+that somebody will be talking pretty hard about you: the larger the
+splashes the bigger will be the stories that are told. 41.
+
+INN. To dream of being at an inn, is very unfavorable; it denotes
+poverty and unsuccessfulness in business; to the lover, the
+unfaithfulness of his sweetheart; to the tradesman, loss of business
+and dishonest agents. 46, 33.
+
+INQUEST. To dream that you are present at a coroner’s inquest, is a bad
+sign; you will soon squander your fortune. 49, 16.
+
+INSULT. (_See Abuse._)
+
+INUNDATION. (_See Overflow._)
+
+IRON. (_See Metals._)
+
+ITCH. To dream that you have the itch, or that your body itches, shows
+that you will shortly receive money. 40, 9.
+
+ISLAND. To dream that you are on a deserted island shows that you
+will commit some act to disgust your friends and make them cut your
+acquaintance; be careful how you behave after dreaming such a dream.
+19, 65, 22.
+
+IVORY. To dream of ivory, signifies that you will be very successful in
+business. To the single it is a sign they will soon fall in love and
+be fortunate in their courtship. To the married it denotes domestic
+happiness. 4, 75, 30.
+
+IVY. To dream of seeing this vine running over and covering any house,
+is a sign of poverty, particularly if the ivy grows thick and abundant:
+if you dream that it covers your own house, the sign is still more
+sure: for a farmer to dream that he sees ivy covering a tree, denotes
+bad crops. A girl who dreams of being in a bower covered with ivy, will
+probably marry a poor and shiftless man. 2.
+
+JAIL. (_See Prison._) If a man dreams he is confined in a prison or
+jail, it shows that he will have honors or dignities conferred upon
+him, as such dreams go contrariwise: if his arrest and imprisonment
+worries him, it only shows that he will be the more delighted with his
+new dignities. 46.
+
+JAR. To dream that a house is jarred or shook by an earthquake, an
+explosion, or anything that may occur outside, is a sign that the head
+of the family in that house will be sick. Jars of preserved fruit
+or jellies, seen in a dream, are good omens; if you dream you are
+presented with one or more of them, it shows you will be long lived and
+thrifty. 15, 39.
+
+JEALOUSY. To dream you are jealous of your sweetheart, or wife,
+signifies that they will betray you; for a maiden to dream she is
+jealous of her sweetheart is a sign some particular friend will “_cut
+her out_;” for a wife to dream she is jealous of her husband, foretells
+the loss of his love. 28, 6.
+
+JELLY. To dream of having pots of jelly given to you, or that you are
+eating jelly, and that plenty of it is around, is a sure sign of long
+life and good fortune generally; as many pots as are given to you, or
+as you may have, so many generations will you live to see. The same
+rule applies to preserved fruits. 65, 18, 78.
+
+JEW. If you dream that a genuine Israelite comes along and annoys you
+in any way, it is a sign you will quarrel with your father; if you
+imagine that he cheats you in a bargain, it predicts that you will
+probably receive a present from some near relative; on the contrary, if
+he gives you an advantage in the bargain, it shows that your father, or
+some elderly relative, will ask a favor of you. 58, 21.
+
+JEWELS. Chains, pearls, or precious stones, etc., and all adornings
+upon the heads and necks of women, are good dreams for the fair sex; to
+widows and maids they signify marriage; and to those that are married,
+riches. If a man dreams of possessing jewels, it is a sure sign he will
+lose something of great value. 46, 75.
+
+JIG. To dream of dancing a jig with a lady is a sign she is in love
+with you, or is pleased with you; and if you like her you may go in at
+once for her favor with much confidence. The omen is the same to a girl
+who dreams of jigging with a young man. 1, 65, 14.
+
+JOLLY. If you dream you are in company and feel particularly hilarious,
+or jolly, it is a sign of sorrow; mark well who it is that contributes
+most to your mirth, for he or she may cause you pain. If a girl dreams
+this of a young man, let her beware of him for a gay seducer. 20.
+
+JOY. To dream that you are in the ecstasy of joy at anything that has
+happened, bodes pain and trouble; something will be sure to occur to
+make you unhappy. 46.
+
+JUMPING. (_See Leaping._)
+
+JURY. If a man dreams he is serving on a jury, it is a sign some friend
+will ask a favor of him that he will hesitate to grant. 38, 3.
+
+KALEIDOSCOPE. To dream you are looking through one of these curious
+instruments, and if you are delighted with the changes that present
+themselves, it is a sign, that you will either travel in distant
+countries or be very discontented at home. 36, 75.
+
+KEG. To dream of an empty one is a sign you will soon leave home; a
+keg of small fish, or oysters, denotes the receipt of money; a keg
+of spirits of any kind, promises poverty; a keg of powder foretells
+misfortune; a keg of paint predicts compliments to be paid you. 14.
+
+KEY. If you dream of finding a key, or a bunch of keys, it is a sign
+that some one will tell you a secret; to dream of losing a key, or
+keys, is a bad omen, as it predicts that you will come to shame. Such a
+dream is particularly unfortunate to a young lady. 41, 8.
+
+KID. To dream of a young and sportful kid, implies the birth of a
+child. A young girl who grants her lover too close intimacy before
+marriage should never dream of the innocent and harmless kid. It is a
+good dream for married people who desire children. 70.
+
+KING. To dream of a king denotes that the dreamer is ambitious and will
+be disappointed. If you dream you speak to a king it is a happy omen,
+and is a sign of riches and honor. 4, 14.
+
+KILL. If you dream of wantonly killing any animal, or insect, it
+predicts bad luck and poverty; but if the killing be done by accident,
+it shows that, though you may have a misfortune in consequence, it will
+not materially affect your interest. For butchers or farmers to dream
+of killing fat and healthy animals for food, is a sign of thrift and
+abundance; but if they dream of killing a hog that does not squeal, it
+shadows forth a death in the family. 41.
+
+KISSING. (_See Stranger._) Dreams of kissing work curiously: if a
+girl dreams that she is kissed by a young man in whom she takes no
+particular interest, it may be a good omen, and it may not; for if he
+happens to be a silly fellow who imagines that she is in love with
+him, it is a sign she will be slandered in a way that will make her
+unhappy; but if he has no such sentiment, then the sign is exactly the
+reverse—that is, some one will speak well of her to those whom she
+esteems highly—perhaps to her lover. If a girl dreams she is kissed by
+her lover, it predicts that he will say something unpleasant to her at
+their next meeting; if a lover dreams that his sweetheart kisses him
+the sign is similar. 1.
+
+KITE. To dream of flying a kite is a sign that you will soon write a
+letter to some friend or acquaintance. For a girl to dream of seeing a
+kite in the air, predicts that she will receive a letter from a young
+man—whether a lover or not, is uncertain. 53, 62.
+
+KNEE. To dream of falling on the knees, denotes misfortune in business.
+To see a woman’s knees, good luck and marriage to the girl of your
+choice. For a woman to see a man’s knee, shows that she will have many
+male children. 22, 37, 35.
+
+KNIVES. To dream of knives is a bad omen; it betokens law-suits,
+poverty, disgrace, and strife. In love, it shows quarrels and bad
+tempers. 33, 9.
+
+LABOR. To dream you are hard at work, shows you will go a painful
+journey, unless you be very circumspect; but to see others at work,
+betokens good fortune. If a girl dreams she sees her lover at work, it
+signifies that he will try and seduce her. 27, 9.
+
+LADDER. To dream of going up a ladder signifies that you will be
+a person of some consequence, yet poor: if you imagine you are in
+danger of falling, it shows that a person who envies your position
+will attempt to injure you; if you dream of going down a ladder it
+particularly denotes poverty, though it may allude to some misfortune
+that will overtake you. 14, 55.
+
+LADIES. To see one, a sign of weakness; many ladies bring calumny and
+slander. To see a light-haired one, is a happy event to the dreamer; a
+brunette, sickness; a pregnant lady, brings good news; a naked lady,
+signifies the death of a relative. To hear a lady speak, without seeing
+her, foretells departure. 47, 51, 11.
+
+LAKE. If you dream of sailing on a smooth and clear lake, it
+foreshadows success in all your undertakings; if the lake is rough,
+but yet has clear water, the sign still holds good, though you will
+encounter difficulties; if it is muddy water, it denotes sickness, and
+losses through dishonest people about you. 49, 17.
+
+LAMBS. To see young lambs frisking around their mother, is an excellent
+omen, as it denotes thrift, and also happiness in your family ties; if
+you see them sucking, it is a sign of an increase in your family by
+the birth of a child. For lovers to dream of young lambs, foretells a
+speedy and happy marriage. 24, 60.
+
+LAMP. To dream of dropping or breaking a lighted lamp, denotes
+disappointment. If, in your dream, you see the bright light of a lamp
+at a distance from you in the dark, and you approach it, it shows that
+you will either have good luck, or will be invited to visit somewhere
+and meet an agreeable person of the opposite sex. 19.
+
+LAND. To dream of buying or inheriting land, is an excellent omen, as
+it foretells health and wealth; but to sell land in your dream, denotes
+sickness and poverty. If a young man dreams of buying land, it is a
+sign he will marry a rich wife. 34, 61, 18.
+
+LANTERN. To dream of carrying a lantern in a dark night is a good sign,
+provided you have no difficulty in finding your way, for it shows
+that you will easily accomplish some fortunate object you may have
+in view; if you stumble, or have difficulty in finding your way with
+the lantern, it denotes trouble and vexation, though success will be
+achieved at last. 28, 10.
+
+LARK. To dream of the lark, shows speedy increase of fortune. To
+lovers, this is a very favorable omen, and is a sign that the course of
+true love runs smooth. 47, 68.
+
+LAUGHTER. This omen is unfavorable, and is a sign of tears; it also
+denotes that you will be worsted by your business engagements; if a
+lover dreams he sees his sweetheart laugh, it is a sign she will jilt
+him for a stranger; to the married it signifies domestic trouble. 40.
+
+LAUREL or OLIVE. Denotes victory and pleasure; to the married,
+inheritance and children; to the single, marriage. 71, 13, 1.
+
+LAW. To dream of instituting a suit at law, or entering a criminal
+complaint against any one, shows that some enemy will injure you
+pecuniarily, or that you will lose money by speculation or trade; if
+you dream you are sued, or prosecuted criminally, the sign is the
+reverse; you will probably receive money unexpectedly, or be uncommonly
+successful in your pursuits. 21, 8.
+
+LAWYER. To dream of meeting a lawyer, brings bad tidings; if you speak
+to him, you will lose some property; if you hear some one speaking in
+his favor, you will meet with some misfortune. 16.
+
+LAZY. To dream that you see lazy people lounging around, and that you
+are vexed with them, is a sign of bad luck to some of your relatives,
+who will depend upon you to assist them: if, in your dream, you imagine
+yourself to be lazy and sleepy over your work, it foretells either
+sickness or that you will meet with a loss. 62, 39, 69.
+
+LEAD. (_See Metals._)
+
+LEAPING. To dream you are leaping over walls, doors or gates, is a sign
+that you will encounter many difficulties in your present pursuits and
+that your sweetheart will not marry you. 9, 31.
+
+LEAVES. To dream you see leaves growing freshly on a tree or plant,
+is a good sign, and shows you will live long and be happy; but to see
+leaves wither and fall to the ground, is a sign of sickness and death.
+47, 21.
+
+LEGS. To dream of thick and fat legs is a bad omen, as it foreshadows
+sickness: thin, spindleshank legs are excellent ones to dream about, as
+they denote a successful race with fortune. It is not to be supposed
+that a lover will ever dream of his sweetheart’s legs, but if he should
+do so, he will probably imagine them to be round, plump, and of an
+alabaster whiteness; this is a bad dream, and he should by all means
+avoid thinking of her legs when he goes to sleep: if a lady dreams that
+her lover’s legs are thin, it foretells that he will be a rich man. 48,
+5.
+
+LEMONS. To dream of lemons denotes contentions in your family and
+uneasiness on account of children; they announce the death of some
+relation and disappointment in love. 22.
+
+LEOPARD. To dream of this animal, signifies that you have many false
+friends, who are endeavoring to ruin you, it also betokens family
+quarrels and domestic unhappiness. 24, 76.
+
+LETTERS. These paper missives are good to dream about: if you dream you
+receive a great number of letters, it foretells that honors await you:
+to receive one letter in your dream, denotes that some one is praising
+you behind your back. If a girl dreams that she receives a love-letter
+from her beau, it shows that he adores her: a gentleman who has a
+similar dream of a letter from his sweetheart, may rest satisfied that
+he only possesses her heart. 28, 54, 1.
+
+LETTER CARRIER. To dream of a letter carrier, indicates you will hear
+from an absent one whom you love. 18, 50.
+

+family by lies, is a sign you will receive a benefit at the hands of a

+
+LIE. To dream of telling a lie about a woman, is a sign you will kiss

+
+LIGHT. (_See Candles, Lamp and Torch._) To dream you see a great light,

+rich; in love it shows a sweetheart of an amiable disposition. 8, 70, 2.
+
+LIGHTNING. To dream of bright and vivid white lightning, denotes that
+you will soon go on a pleasant trip or journey: blueish silver forked
+lightning foretells good crops and excellent success in business; red
+forked lightning the same, but attended with calamity, or the death of
+relatives by violence. 24.
+
+LILIES. If you dream of an abundance of these beautiful flowers in
+your garden or door-yard, it foretells good luck in getting servants
+or people to work for you; it also denotes thrift generally about a
+farm. If a young girl dreams about lilies, it is a sign she will marry
+a smart and industrious man and live happily with him. 61.
+
+LIMEKILN. To dream of burning lime in a kiln, or of seeing a kiln
+in full blast, is a sign of health and abundant crops; but to see a
+dilapidated and empty limekiln in your dream is the reverse of this, as
+far as the crops are concerned. 77, 5, 15.
+
+LINEN. To dream you are arrayed in clean linen denotes that you
+will shortly receive some glad tidings; and that your sweetheart is
+faithful; if it is dirty, then it denotes poverty and disappointment
+in love. White linen, if dressed in it, presages death; colored linen,
+removal; shifts, a gay sweetheart; gowns, a gift. 24, 71.
+
+LION. If you dream of seeing the king of beasts, and if he is mild and
+gentle looking, it shows that you will easily rise in the world to a
+better position than you now occupy: to dream of an angry and roaring
+lion, who tries to get at you, shows, that although you may rise in
+position, jealous people will annoy and try to injure you. 14.
+
+ Dreams of lions, bears, bulls, bees,
+ Nests of wasps or hornets, these
+ Are emblems whereby are expressed
+ Discord with those whom you love best.
+
+LIPS. (_See Mouth._)
+
+LIQUOR. If you dream of seeing large quantities of liquor, or of buying
+brandy, rum, whisky, &c., it foretells poverty and disgrace; to dream
+of drinking it is the same, only worse if possible. 2.
+
+LIZARD. To dream of lizards, is a sign you have secret enemies who will
+injure you if they can. If a girl dreams this, it shows that some one
+will question her virtue. 3.
+
+LOG. To dream of seeing large logs around, is a sign that you will soon
+move into a new house; but if you imagine that you are splitting the
+logs, it will spoil all this, for it shows that you will want a house
+badly without being able to get one to your mind. 21, 78.
+
+LOOKING-GLASS. To dream of a looking-glass, is a bad omen, and
+signifies that you will be surrounded with false friends, who will rob
+you until your property dwindles to a shadow. To dream you see your
+face in a looking-glass is a sign of sickness. To break a looking-glass
+portends death. If a girl dreams she sees her lover in a looking-glass,
+it is a sign he will desert or seduce her. 18, 61.
+
+LOSSES. To dream of losing your hat is a sign you will entertain a
+large company, either by making a speech, or otherwise attracting their
+attention: dreaming of the loss of money, a watch, or any valuables of
+that kind, predicts that you will gain as much and perhaps more than
+your loss amounts to: if a girl dreams of losing her shoe-strings, she
+will be kissed by an agreeable young man; any article of clothing that
+you may dream of having lost, shows that you will rig yourself out in a
+new suit. 47, 6.
+
+LOTTERY. (_See Prize._)
+
+LOVE. To dream you are in love is a sign you will make a fool of
+yourself and do something silly, of which you may afterwards be
+ashamed—thus showing that the dream works contrariwise—for love is
+anything but a silly sentiment unless indulged in by fools. For a young
+girl to dream of falling in love foretells that she will be laughed at
+and ridiculed for some folly. 64, 52, 1.
+
+LUCK. To imagine in your dream that you have had excellent luck, in any
+enterprise, predicts a misfortune: if a man has had a quarrel with his
+sweetheart, and dreams that it is all made up, he may be sure that the
+quarrel will continue a great deal longer than is agreeable to him: to
+a young lady, the sign is the same relative to her beau. 18.
+
+MAD DOG. To dream of seeing such an animal frothing at the mouth and
+running, is a sign you will be wrongfully accused of a dishonorable
+action or crime. 4, 12, 61.
+
+MAGGOTS. To dream of seeing any thing putrid and covered with maggots,
+is a sign of death; but the death may be that of your favorite dog,
+cat, or bird, though such a dream often foretells the death of a
+relative or friend. 5.
+
+MAID. (_See Virgin._) If you dream you are pleased with a pretty
+chambermaid, milkmaid, or any nice-looking young girl, whose occupation
+carries with it the title of maid, it is a good omen, for it predicts
+an excellent match, and plenty of children: it also foretells, in many
+cases, that the dreamer will marry a rich wife. 75, 39.
+
+MAN. To dream of a man dressed in black is lucky; in white, a bad omen:
+to dream of a murdered man, is a sign of long life. To dream you meet a
+strange man, is a sign you have a vindictive enemy. For a girl to dream
+she sees her lover by her bedside, is a sign he will attempt some very
+improper things. 74, 60, 7.
+
+MANNERS. To dream of ill-mannered people, who annoy you by their
+awkwardness and selfish conduct, shows that you will shortly go on a
+journey, and be introduced to a fool. 6, 65.
+
+MAP. To dream of looking over a map, is a sign of an agreeable surprise
+by the arrival of some dear friend from a distance. If a girl dreams
+this when her lover is away, he will return unexpectedly. 24, 17.
+
+MARKET. To dream you are in a large market, where all kinds of meats
+and vegetables are sold, is a sign you will want money that it will
+be difficult and perhaps impossible to raise; it is a bad sign for
+tradesmen and others who have notes to pay. 31, 9.
+
+MARRIAGE. (_See Wedding._) If any one should be so unfortunate as to
+dream that he or she was present at a happy and jolly wedding, it
+denotes that they will attend a funeral; it will not necessarily be at
+the burial of either of the persons you dreamed you saw married, but
+you will undoubtedly be called to mourn some friend or relative. To
+dream of being married yourself, foretells your death. 2, 78, 42.
+
+MASK. To dream you see a person wearing a mask, is a sign of hypocrisy;
+to the lover, it shows that his sweetheart loves some one better than
+himself; to a girl, it signifies that her lover is engaged to another.
+To married people, it portends infidelity to the wedding-ring. 46, 8.
+
+MASS. To dream of going to this religious celebration, is a sign that
+some one will either cheat you or rob your house. If a girl dreams
+this, let her look out that her lover does not prove to be a worthless
+scamp. 13.
+
+MEADOW. (_See Field and Green._) If you dream of walking in a green and
+pleasant meadow, where the grass grows regular and looks smooth, it is
+an excellent omen, for it denotes thrift and good luck generally. Such
+a dream to a farmer, is a sign of good crops and plenty of money. To
+lovers, it foretells a happy and speedy marriage. 72, 6.
+
+MEANNESS. To dream you are treated in a mean and shabby manner by
+anybody, is a sign you will have unexpected honors thrust upon you. If
+a girl dreams that her lover has behaved meanly, she may be sure he
+will do something to command her admiration. 9, 50, 51.
+
+MEASLES. To dream you have this troublesome disorder shows that
+you will be fortunate, provided you engage in some disreputable or
+dishonest speculation, or in a robbery of money: but to conscientious
+people the omen does not hold good. If a girl dreams of having the
+measles, it predicts that a rogue will make love to her. 33, 4.
+
+MEAT. To dream of sweet and wholesome fresh meat is a sign you will be
+coquetted by a lady, and perhaps fall in love with her; but if the meat
+is putrid or maggoty, it foreshadows sickness and death. 8, 16.
+
+MEDICINE. (_See Physic._) To take medicine foretells poverty, to give
+any one medicine, gain. 22, 37, 8.
+
+MELONS. To dream of ripe, fine looking melons, is an excellent omen, as
+it foretells good health, good luck, and much happiness. A watermelon
+full of black seeds denotes so much money to be paid to you. If a
+married woman dreams this, it promises her many children. 46.
+
+METALS. To dream of metals has different signification and
+interpretations according to the metal you dream of. To enable our
+readers to more readily discover the meaning of their dreams, we
+subjoin a list of the metals with their explanations.
+
+BRASS. To dream that you see a brass ornament, is a sign your
+sweetheart will be false to you. To see any one working in brass, or
+cleaning that metal is a sign you will hear of the death of a distant
+relative who will leave you a legacy. 43, 11.
+
+COPPER. To dream of copper, signifies that your sweetheart is

+bullet it is a sign you will be successful in love. 49, 50.
+
+QUICKSILVER. To dream of this metal is a sign your friends
+will all be false to you, it is also a sign of losses in property. 49,
+19.
+
+SILVER. To dream that you are presented with spoons, or
+any silver plate for household use, foretells that you or some near
+relative, will shortly marry: if you dream of buying these articles, it
+is a sign of poverty: to dream of silver dollars, or bars of silver,
+used in commerce, is a sign that you will gain money either by a legacy
+or speculation. 49, 6.
+
+STEEL. To break a piece in a dream, shows that you will
+overcome your enemies; if you only touch it, your position in life is
+secure; if you try to bend it, and cannot, you will meet with many
+serious accidents. 41, 50.
+
+TIN. To dream of tin is a good omen and signifies you will
+marry a rich wife, and make money at business. 41, 8.

+to the dreamer. To lovers it is a sign of success in love affairs. 48.
+
+MIDWIFE. To see a midwife denotes revealing of secrets; to the sick, it
+is death. 18, 4.
+
+MILK. (_See Pitcher and Breast._) Dreaming of milk predicts, to a man,
+the love of a lady. If a newly married lady dream that she has a full
+breast of milk, it is a sign that she will be happily delivered of a
+fine child; to an old woman, it portends much money. 45, 60.
+
+MILL. If you dream of going to a flouring-mill, where you see plenty
+of grain and flour, it is a good omen, as it shadows forth thrift and
+abundance; but to imagine in your dream that you are in any manufactory
+of cloth fabrics called a mill, is a sign of poverty and want. Girls
+who work in such places should be careful never to dream of them. 55.
+
+MISER. To dream of a miser is a sign of waste, loss or destruction: if
+you see him counting and hoarding money, it foretells you will either
+lose or be robbed of some: to see him patching his clothes or his
+house or barn denotes a calamity, such as a robbery or a fire. 14, 62.
+
+MISFORTUNE. To dream you have a misfortune denotes luck and success:
+thus; dreaming of the loss of money is a sign you will get some: if you
+imagine your house is burned, you will be successful in a speculation:
+if you dream of being robbed, it foretells a legacy or the finding of
+something valuable, &c. 41.
+
+MISTAKE. If any one dreams of being vexed, annoyed, or injured by
+reason of making a mistake, it shadows forth disgrace. Mistaking one
+person for another in your dream, denotes scandal: thus if a young girl
+should dream that she hailed a young man as her lover, and found it was
+a stranger, it shows that some malicious person will talk lightly of
+her character. 78, 16.
+
+MONEY. (_See Purse and Pocket Book._) To dream of finding money is an
+excellent omen, as it foretells that you will soon get some: if, in
+your dream, you see bank bills of a large denomination, or large gold
+pieces, the sign is similar: to see small pieces of money is not so
+good, though it is a pretty fair dream. To dream of receiving money
+is a good omen; in love, it foretells marriage and children. To dream
+you lose money, is a proof you will be unsuccessful in some favorite
+pursuit. 18, 4.
+
+MONKEY. To dream that you see a monkey, and are pleased with his
+antics, shows that you will make the acquaintance of a fool. For a girl
+to dream of playing with a monkey is a sign she will do something she
+is ashamed of, and perhaps lose her virtue. Monkeys are also a sign of
+law suits and secret enemies. 17, 6.
+
+MOON. To dream of a sharp new moon with horns pointing upwards is a
+sign you will be rich: if the horns point sideways or downward, it
+foretells poverty: seeing a full moon in your dream denotes a thrifty
+and happy marriage: a half moon shadows forth the loss of a wife or
+husband by death or desertion. Dreaming of seeing a half moon is fatal
+to the prospects of lovers. 19, 18.

+some honor awaits you, or that you will make a good deal of money:
+difficulties in climbing show troubles and vexations in getting your
+honors or your money. 64.
+
+MOTH. To dream of moth is a sign some one is robbing you, it also
+predicts slander by a supposed friend. To dream you see a moth burn its
+wings in a flame signifies that an enemy will die. 22.
+
+MOTHER. If you dream of quarreling with your mother, it is a sign she
+will do some generous act, or confer a benefit that will delight you:
+to dream of fondling your mother shadows forth her loss by death, or
+that you will be parted from her: if you dream she makes you a present,
+the dream will come true so far that she will probably present you with
+a new brother or sister. 46, 34.
+
+MOURNING. To dream that you are dressed in mourning for the death of a
+relative, is a sign that a wedding will soon take place in your family,
+or that of some blood relation. To see people dressed in black, and be
+among them, foretells an invitation to a wedding or to be present at a
+marriage ceremony. 32, 12.

+detect a thief in stealing from you: if, in your dream, you see a

+thieves in the house. For a girl to dream that she pets a mouse, shows
+that she will have a light-fingered or dishonest lover. 75, 70.
+
+MOUTH. Dreaming of a large mouth and big lips is a sure sign you will
+be kissed by some one of the opposite sex: to dream of a mouth out
+of shape, or with a hare lip, denotes to a woman that she will have
+a deformed child, and to a man that he will get into a difficulty by
+means of his intimacy with a woman: to dream of a small mouth and thin
+lips is a sign of loud and angry words, and that some one will give you
+a scolding. 27, 6, 3.
+
+MOVING. To dream of moving your residence or place of business, under
+any circumstances, is a sign of poverty: if, in your dream, you see

+female mulatto, dangerous sickness. 4, 11, 44.
+
+MULE. To dream of riding a mule, or driving one, is a sign of celibacy:
+gentlemen or ladies who dream this may safely calculate that they will
+live single for the rest of their lives, unless some more vivid dream
+with a favorable omen should counterbalance the influence of this
+one. If married people dream of mules, it foretells that they will be
+childless. 4, 51, 66.
+
+MUSHROOM. To dream you eat mushrooms is a sign you will live to a good
+old age, but to dream you see them grow, or gather them, is a sign you
+will get rich by a splendid speculation, and then get poor as suddenly
+as you got wealthy. 49, 59.
+

+to go somewhere where she will be delighted and enjoy herself much. 74,
+18.
+
+MUSTARD. To dream of mustard or mustard seed, is a bad omen, and
+foretells sickness and perhaps death. To dream you eat mustard, is a

+love. To the married it signifies domestic happiness. 3, 11, 33.
+
+NAILS. To dream that one’s nails are longer than usual, signifies
+profit, and the contrary, loss: to dream your nails are cut off,
+signifies loss and disgrace, and contention with friends and relations.
+If one dreams his nails are pulled off, it threatens with misery and
+affliction, and danger of death: for a man to dream he bites his
+nails, shows quarrels and dissensions: to dream of paring your nails,
+foretells a lingering sickness. 57, 8.
+
+NAKEDNESS. To dream you see a man naked, signifies fear and terror: to
+dream you see a woman naked, signifies honor and joy, provided she be
+fair-skinned and handsome; but if she is crooked, old, wrinkled, or
+otherwise ill made, and black withal, it signifies shame, repentance,
+and ill luck. For a woman to dream she sees her husband naked,
+signifies success in her enterprises and a good number of children. 14.
+
+NAPKIN. A white napkin denotes orderly conduct, which will bring
+happiness; a dirty napkin, disorderly behavior. 70, 6.
+
+NAVEL. If you dream that your navel is out of shape, or looks queer,
+it is a sign of misfortune in connection with the opposite sex, unless

+unmarried people to dream such dreams foretells trouble and disgrace.
+35, 17.
+
+NECK. If a woman or girl dreams that her neck is large and thick, it
+is a sure sign she will bear many children: if it seems smaller than
+usual, it denotes to a married woman a miscarriage, and to a girl
+the loss of her beau: if a woman dreams that her neck is fair and
+beautiful, it foretells that some gentleman will make love to her. 22.
+
+NECKLACE. For a girl to dream that a gentleman presents her with a
+necklace, is a sign that some one meditates an attempt to seduce her:

+
+NEEDLES. To dream of needles, signifies that you will be grievously
+injured by the deceit of supposed friends. For a girl to dream that
+she pricks herself with a needle, is a sign that her beau will attempt
+improper liberties. 8, 49.
+
+NEGRO. To dream of being frightened or assaulted by a negro, is a
+good sign, as it denotes safety: if the negro comes towards you in a
+pleasant and agreeable way, it shows that you will meet with a loss or
+be robbed: to see a grinning, pleasant-looking negro in your dream,
+forebodes trouble through the conduct of a dependent. 32.
+
+NEW YEAR’S PRESENT. To dream you give a New Year’s present, signifies
+you will hear good news. To receive one, is a sign you will soon get
+into trouble. 64, 19.
+
+NIAGARA. As every one has heard of this great cataract, and multitudes

+jealous of her, and perhaps not without cause. 70.
+
+NIGHTINGALE. To dream of this bird signifies light amours; to hear it
+sing, happiness. 48.
+
+NOBILITY. Should anybody be so foolish as to dream that they are
+created a Duke, an Earl, or that they have conferred upon them any
+patent of nobility, it is a sign of shiftlessness and poverty. If a
+girl dreams that a lord is in love with her, she will be apt to marry a
+shiftless and needy fellow. 21, 19.
+
+NOISE. If you dream of hearing strange or mysterious noises, it is a
+sign that the spirit of some dead relative hovers near you, and has an
+influence upon your actions. 20.
+
+NOSE. To dream of big-nosed people is generally a good omen, as such
+persons are usually smart and energetic. To dream of snub noses is a
+sign of a quarrel, or that you will be abused by somebody. 48.
+
+NUGGET. This is an English word for a lump of gold: to dream of digging
+a big nugget of pure gold, is a sign of wealth and honors. Dreams
+relative to gold or silver promise good fortune always. 4, 11, 44.
+
+NUN. For a young girl to dream of seeing a sober-looking nun, is
+a sign of celibacy; if she imagines she speaks to the nun she may

+foretells that he will suspect his sweetheart of being untrue to him,
+and probably discard her altogether. 29, 65.
+
+NURSE. Dreaming of a nurse for lying-in women foreshadows luck and
+plenty of cash; to a farmer, such a dream prognosticates abundant
+crops, and to newly married people good crops of children. 28.
+

+success; if you are gathering them, it is a good omen; but if you crack
+them, unfavorable. 48, 6.
+
+OAK. To dream of seeing a very large oak tree, and of gathering acorns
+under it, is a sign that some wealthy relative will leave you a fortune
+by will: if anybody dreams this who does not happen to have wealthy
+relations, it may turn out that somebody else will take the liberty of
+making a will in his or her favor; if not, a streak of good luck will
+come in some other way to make the matter right. 65.
+
+OAR. If you dream of sailing in a boat, and losing one or more of the
+oars, it is a sign of the death of your father, mother, or guardian, or

+is a sign that you will attain a higher station in life by riches or
+honors. 2.
+
+OFFICER. (_See Police._) To dream that a military officer is in your

+has such a person for a lover, she may calculate that her first suitor
+will be a poor shoat, of no account whatever. 70, 28.

+on yourself, profit. 1, 41.

+luck in business, and to a politician it denotes advancement. This is
+not a good dream for females, for to them it denotes want. 63.
+
+OLD WOMAN. To dream of an aged woman is generally a good omen, as it
+shadows forth domestic happiness: to a married woman such a dream
+foretells the birth of a child: to a young girl, that she will have an
+offer of marriage. 3.
+
+ONIONS. To dream of this vegetable, denotes both good and bad luck: if
+you are eating them, you will soon receive some money; your sweetheart

+danger of dying, it foretells a misfortune either to yourself or some
+near relative. 64.
+
+ORANGE. To dream of having an abundance of oranges, shadows forth that
+you will get just so much yellow gold: if you dream of eating them, it
+promises you health: if you give them to friends, it foretells that you
+will be honored and esteemed: if a girl dreams that her lover presents
+her with fine-looking oranges, he will undoubtedly bring her a fortune
+when she marries. 3, 12, 36.
+
+ORCHARD. If, in your dream, you imagine you are in a fine orchard, and
+the fruit looks fair and tempting, and you eat of it, it foretells
+that you will shortly be engaged in some pleasant adventure either of
+love or intrigue: if you see rotten, wormy, or scraggy-looking apples,
+it shows that you will be thrown into mean and low company, much to
+your disgrace. Such dreams are bad ones for young girls. 18, 12.
+
+ORGAN. To dream of hearing the solemn and enchanting music of a church
+organ is a sad omen to young girls, as it foretells their early death:
+if a gentleman dreams this, it points to the death of some young girl
+in whom he takes an interest, and perhaps to his sweetheart, if he has
+one. To imagine you hear some lively tune on a street organ is also a
+bad omen, as it foretells that you will soon attend a funeral. 55, 3.
+
+OVEN. (_See Baking._)
+
+OVERFLOW. (_See Flood._) To dream that a river, or any stream,
+overflows its banks and surrounds your house with water, is a sign of
+wealth; that is, you will acquire riches in proportion to the quantity
+of water around, and the ground it covers: if you fancy that any one is
+drowned in the water, it foretells a misfortune in connection with your
+riches. 9, 66, 18.
+
+OWL. To dream of seeing one of these birds of night in a roosting
+position, is a sign that you will discover an important secret that
+relates to yourself: to see an owl flying foretells that some secret of
+your own will get out. 3.
+
+OXEN. (_See Cattle._)
+
+OYSTERS. If, in your dream, you imagine you are eating oysters, it
+denotes that you will have difficulties relative to money matters: but
+to rake them out of the water is a sign of money-getting: to dream of
+opening nice fat oysters for other people to eat is also a favorable
+omen, as it shows that you will have plenty of cash. 7, 53.
+
+PAINTING. To dream of painting your house is a sign of sickness in the
+family, but at the same time thrift and good luck in business: if,
+in your dream, you see a white house newly painted outside, you will
+probably soon be summoned to attend a funeral: to see any other colored
+house newly painted, foretells that you will hear of the sickness of
+a friend or relative: dreaming of beautiful paintings of landscapes,
+portraits, &c., is an omen of bad luck and poverty. 22, 11, 5.
+
+PALL-BEARER. For a man to dream that he is a pall-bearer at a funeral,
+denotes that he will be married within a year: to dream of seeing
+pall-bearers, is a sign you will be invited to a wedding. 49, 6.
+
+PANCAKE. (_See Thick._) For a girl to dream of baking pancakes, is
+a sign that some gentleman is in love with her; and if a married
+woman has such a dream, she may be sure that some man, other than her
+husband, admires her; to dream of eating pancakes, foretells falling in
+love, to either sex; and if you relish them, you will be successful in
+your love. 36.
+
+PANTALOONS. If you dream you have a new pair of pantaloons, it is a
+sign you will be prosperous; if they do not fit, and are too tight, it
+is a sign you will be pinched in money matters; if they are dark, it
+is a sign of long life, but if light, it denotes sickness. Young girls
+should try and not dream about pantaloons, for such an omen is very
+dangerous to them. 46, 8.
+
+PANTHER. To dream that you see one of these animals, and are terrified
+by it, shows that you will be disgusted at the ingratitude of a friend
+you have served: if, in your dream, you see a tame panther, and
+caress it, it foretells that you have some ungrateful person in your
+household, (perhaps a servant,) or else a false-hearted friend. 41.
+
+PAPER. To dream of smooth paper, is a good omen; but if it appears
+rumpled, it will give you much pain. To dream of paper that is wet,
+signifies success in love matters. 21, 18.
+
+PARADE. To dream of a parade of soldiers, and that you are delighted
+with the military display, foretells that some one will deceive you: to
+a business man it is an omen of losses by bad debts or dull trade: to a
+young girl it foreshadows a gay but false lover: to a married woman it
+is a sign that her husband, though kind, will be false to his vows. 58,
+1.
+
+PARASOL. If a young woman dreams she has got a new parasol, it predicts
+for her a new lover: if she imagines she has broken her parasol, her
+lover (if she has one) will leave her; if not, then some male friend,
+in whom she placed confidence or derived advantage, will fail her: to a
+married woman, dreaming of a broken parasol is a very bad omen, as it
+predicts ruin to her husband. 34.
+
+PARDON. To dream of asking pardon for an offence, is a bad omen under
+any circumstances, as it foretells humiliation and disgrace: for a
+criminal to imagine, in his dream, that the Governor has pardoned him,
+is a sign that he will not only not be pardoned, but that he will
+suffer much remorse and unhappiness in his imprisonment. 19, 3, 40.
+
+PARROT. To dream that you are pleased with the chattering of one of
+these birds, is a sign that some deceitful person will flatter you: if
+an engaged young girl has such a dream, she should look sharp to the
+antecedents of her lover before marriage, as it is ten to one that he
+is not worthy of her confidence: the dream may, however, point to some
+other flatterer. 15, 2, 33.
+
+PARTING. To dream of parting from friends with regret, is a sign of
+disappointment: if a girl dreams that her lover is going away anywhere,
+and she feels bad when he takes his leave, it predicts that he will not
+ “go raving distracted with delight” the next time he comes to see her,
+and she will consequently be disappointed at his supposed coolness; but
+all this may not amount to anything more than to make her feel bad for
+the time being. 4.
+
+PARTNER. (_See Ball._) To dream that your partner in a dance slights
+or snubs you, is a sign that some one is enamored of you: this applies
+to either sex: if you dream of a particularly agreeable and attractive
+partner, it shows that you will quarrel with somebody of the opposite
+sex: for a man in business to dream of taking a partner, foretells that
+he will be robbed. 17, 38.
+
+PARTY. To dream of giving a large and sumptuous party to your friends,
+is a sign of losses and poverty: if you imagine you go to such a party,
+it foretells that you will be asked to assist some one in distress. 77,
+18, 42.
+
+PASTURE. (_See Cattle._) To dream of seeing cattle feeding in a
+green and rich pasture, foretells thrift and wealth: if the grass is
+sun-burnt and only green in patches, and the cattle look lean, the sign
+is the reverse; and such a dream denotes short crops to farmers. 6, 11,
+66.
+
+PATCHES. For a woman to dream of patching the clothes of her husband or
+children, is an excellent omen, as it denotes that each patch will be a
+good lump of money brought into the family. 5.
+
+PATENT RIGHT. To dream of procuring a patent for an invention of your
+own, shows that you will never realize anything from it: if money is
+to be made by it, some one else will get the benefit: if you dream of
+getting a patent for some other person, it is a sign of good luck in a
+speculation. 33, 17.
+
+PATHS. To dream you are walking in a broad, good pathway, denotes
+health and success; in love it shows you will meet with a sweetheart,
+who will make you happy, but if the path is crooked it foretells
+trouble to the dreamer. 44.
+
+PAUPER. To dream that you visit the poor-house and see the inmates, is
+a sign to a woman that she will bear many children, and to a man that
+he will raise a large family, such a dream to a young girl foretells
+that she will be apt to become a mother before she is a wife. 21.
+
+PAWNBROKER. If you dream of pawning any of your goods at a
+pawnbroker’s, provided you have never patronized such a place, it
+foretells that fortune is about to smile on you, and if you take
+advantage of the circumstance, you will surely get rich. To lazy and
+shiftless people, such a dream would not be of much account. 4, 11, 22.
+
+PEACHES. To dream of fine, ripe, yellow peaches, denotes that you will
+get just so much yellow gold, which makes this dream a splendid one
+for gold-diggers: if the peaches you dream about are very red, or look
+small and wilted, it shows that your gold will turn out to be about
+half copper, or that your luck will not amount to much. 17, 1, 9.
+
+PEACOCK. To dream of this proud bird, is a sign of poverty; if you
+imagine that he spreads his tail, and exhibits all his finery, so much
+the worse. For a girl to dream of a peacock, shows that she will have
+an empty-headed fop for a lover, who will turn out to be as poor as a
+rat. 65, 54.
+
+PEANUTS. To dream of an abundance of ground-nuts, or peanuts, shows
+that you will be poor, but contented, healthy and happy. If a married
+woman in the family-way dreams of them, it is a sign she will have a
+boy. 11.
+
+PEAS. To dream of eating green peas, is a sign of health; and if
+you imagine that you eat crooked dry peas, it foretells both health
+and thrift. If you dream of feeding any animal with dry peas, it
+foreshadows good luck. 6.
+
+PEARLS. To dream of these gems, denotes poverty and misery; if a
+girl dreams that a lover gives her a piece of jewelry set in pearls,
+it shows that he will never be well off; and if she imagines that
+he presents her with a string or necklace of pearls, she may safely
+calculate that he will turn out to be a wretchedly poor man. 56.
+
+PEARS. To dream of ripe, mellow pears, portends elevation in life,
+riches, honors, and constancy in love. If a woman with child dream of
+them, she will have a daughter. To dream of unripe, choke-pears, is a
+sign of misfortunes, and inconstancy in love. 33.
+
+PEDDLER. If you dream of buying things of a peddler, it is a sign that
+some one will cheat you, or that one of your debtors will mysteriously
+disappear, which amounts to about the same thing: if a lady housekeeper
+dreams this, let her look sharp that her servants do not rob or swindle
+her in some way. 42, 13.
+
+PEN-KNIFE. To dream of a pen-knife, is a bad omen, and foretells loss
+in trade, attacks by thieves, and unfaithfulness in love. 29, 47.
+
+PENS. To dream of writing with a steel pen, is a sign you will get
+yourself into a bad scrape, by tattling about your friends and
+neighbors. If the pen be gold, it foreshadows good news, and success
+in business and love affairs. To dream you are making a quill pen, is
+a sign you have many enemies, but that you will triumph over them, and
+be successful in all you undertake. But this dream does not amount to
+much, as it is only a “set-off” to dreaming of a pen-knife, which is a
+bad omen. 28, 6.
+
+PEPPERS. To dream of picking pepper-pods, foretells to married people
+smart children, if they have any. A girl who dreams this, will have
+a smart man for a lover, but he will not pet her much either as a
+sweetheart or wife. 9.
+
+PERFUMERY. To dream of pleasant and delicate perfumes, foreshadows
+sluttish habits in a woman: if a lover dreams of perfumes in connection
+with the beloved object, it shows that when he marries, he will find
+her to be a slut. A girl who dreams this, will be apt to have a
+shiftless lover. 71, 1.
+
+PERJURY. To dream that any one injures you by false swearing, or by
+perjury in court, is a sign that you will discover some friend or
+acquaintance to be dishonest, or guilty of a crime, or of mean conduct;
+if a girl dream this, it is a similar omen relative to her lover. 52.
+
+PET. If a girl dreams she has a pet animal of any kind, (a child, of
+course, excepted,) it is a sign she will never marry: if she dreams of
+a pet child, or one whom she adores, it foretells for her a prolific
+marriage. 49.
+
+PHYSIC. (_See Medicine._) In a dream-book published 1751, is this
+prediction: “If any man doth dreme he taketh much physicke, it
+foretelleth a bad lyver, and a quarell with ye doctor; but a virgin
+who dremeth this dreme, will marry ye doctor first, and quarell
+thereafter.” 37, 8.
+
+PIANO. To dream of hearing pleasant and lively tunes on the piano, is a
+sign of thrift and domestic happiness; but if you dream of buying, or
+that any one presents you with a piano, it foreshadows poverty; it is a
+bad omen for a girl to dream she has got a new piano. 72.
+
+PICKLES. If a girl dreams of eating pickles, it is a sign some old
+bachelor will kiss her: if a young man dreams of pickles, he will
+be beloved by a maid older than himself, and probably of a sour and
+crabbed temper. 39, 2.
+
+PICNIC. For a young man to dream of going with a pic-nic party into
+the woods, is a sign that some silly girl will fall in love with him:
+if a young girl dreams this, some vain fellow will probably pay her
+attentions and compliments merely to gratify his own vanity. 37, 12.
+
+PICTURES. To dream of seeing pictures is a sign of joy without profit.
+48, 7.
+
+PIES. To dream of eating pie is a sign that you will soon be in want.
+To dream you are making pies is a sign of pleasure and happiness. 38.
+
+PIGEONS. To dream of pigeons is a sign of content and delight, and
+success in business. 39.
+
+PIGS. To dream of seeing pigs is good; if you are in trade you will
+have great increase in your business from foreign parts; if you are
+in love, your sweetheart is thereby denoted to be of a good temper,
+faithful and sincere to you, and that if you marry you will become
+happy. 4, 12, 48.
+
+PINEAPPLE. To dream of this fruit is a sign of gold; if you see an
+abundance of it, you will receive plenty of gold soon after: a young
+girl who dreams of pineapples will probably get a rich husband. 22, 9,
+78.
+
+PINKS. If a lady dreams of pinks, it foretells she will soon have a new
+bonnet that she will be delighted with: if a gentleman dreams of them,
+his wife or sweetheart will get a new bonnet that will please him.
+That’s all. 34.
+
+PINS. To dream of pins signifies that you will have small troubles all
+through life, but no great disasters; to dream you find a pin is a sign
+of success in business; if a girl dream she is pricked with a pin, she
+must keep a sharp look out for her lover or she may get in trouble. 3,
+71.
+
+PIPE. To dream you smoke a pipe is an omen of success in business; if
+the pipe goes out three times it is a sign you will meet with losses.
+To dream you break a pipe foretells a quarrel that will injure your
+prospects. 49, 7, 9.
+
+PIRATE. To dream you are captured by pirates is a sign you will travel
+in foreign countries and eventually make your fortune: if a girl dreams
+this, it foretells that she will marry a foreigner who, dying, will
+leave her a fortune. 6.
+
+PISS-ABED. To dream that you wet the bed in your sleep, is a sign you
+will lose something by fire: your house may not burn, but some article
+will either fall in the fire or be damaged by it—perhaps your servant
+may spoil some clothing while ironing. 5, 11, 55.
+
+PISTOL. To dream of arming yourself with a pistol foretells that you
+will lose _caste_, and perhaps become poor: if a girl dreams that her
+lover carries a pistol, she may be sure that he is below her in social
+life, and therefore an unpropitious or unsuitable match. 16, 21, 57.
+
+PITCH. To dream that you get pitch on your person is a sign that some
+one has been scandalizing you by telling lies: a girl who dreams this,
+may be sure that her fair fame has been questioned somewhere. 54, 14.
+
+PITCHER. (_See Jug._) To dream you drink water or milk from a pitcher
+is a good omen, and signifies you will be prosperous in love and
+business. To dream you spill anything out of a pitcher foretells losses
+from the treachery of supposed friends, and to dream you break a
+pitcher portends sickness, and accident while on a journey. To dream of
+breaking a pitcher is also a sign of bankruptcy through carelessness.
+49, 20.
+
+PLAINS. To dream of being on a beautiful plain signifies health,
+happiness and riches, but portends some crosses in love. 4, 12, 48.
+
+ Dreams of wandering over plains,
+ Walking in cross ways and lanes,
+ And being in thick woods quite lost,
+ Declare that lovers shall be crost.
+
+PLANTS. (_See Blossom._) To dream of healthy, thriving plants is a
+good omen, as it foretells success in life, and smart children: such a
+dream is an excellent one for lovers, as it denotes an early and happy
+marriage. 43, 14, 7.
+
+PLASTER. For a girl to dream of having a plaster on her person is a
+sign that some one will offer her an insult, or perhaps make an attempt
+upon her chastity: if a man dreams this, the same will probably happen
+to his wife or sweetheart. 72, 8.
+
+PLENTY. (_See Abundance._)
+
+PLOW. (_See Husbandry._)
+
+PLOWING. For a farmer to dream that he is plowing on smooth and even
+ground, denotes heavy crops, and good luck generally: if he plows up
+stones it is all the better, but if his plow gets hitched into a rock
+or stump, it denotes vexation and trouble with his good luck. 41.
+
+PLUMS. To dream of an abundance of this fruit is a sign of health but
+yet you are liable to lose your life by an accident: if a girl dreams
+she is presented with plums, it foretells her early death. 36, 14, 77.
+
+POCKET-BOOK. To dream of finding a pocket-book full of money is a sign
+of riches, but if it contains no money, it foretells a disappointment:
+if you dream you lose your pocket-book, it foreshadows success in
+business. 19, 78.
+
+POET. If any young person should be so silly as to dream of writing
+poetry, it foretells poverty; and for one to dream of having a
+poetical lover or sweetheart, is a sign that they will fall in love
+with a fool. 64, 50.
+
+POISON. To dream that you are poisoned is a sign you will get into bad
+or unworthy company: if you imagine that any friend or acquaintance is
+poisoned, it is a similar omen as regards them: if, in your dream, you
+think any one has given you poison to murder you, it foretells that
+some base proposal will be made to you. 3, 9.
+
+POLE-CAT. If a man dream he sees one, he will marry a beautiful woman;
+if a woman, she will marry a handsome man. If this delightful animal
+make an attack on you it is a sign you will suffer from the slander of
+enemies. 68, 2.
+
+POLICE. If any respectable person dreams of being arrested by police
+officers, it is a sign that some distinguished honor will be conferred
+on him: if a young girl should dream that policemen took her lover into
+custody, she will hear of his advancement in the world. 46, 30.
+
+POLITE. To dream of polite people is a sign that a stranger will visit,
+or be introduced to you: if a girl dreams that her beau is stiff and
+formal in addressing her, it foretells that she will soon have a new
+admirer. 61.
+
+POOR. To dream of poverty is a sign of good luck, but if you imagine
+you are so poor as to be induced to beg, it foretells that some one
+will either insult you or hurt your feelings, but yet your luck will
+not be impaired. 8, 2.
+
+PORK. (_See Bacon and Ham._)
+
+PORTRAIT. To dream of having your portrait taken, is a sign some one
+will compliment your good looks; but if you are dissatisfied and think
+it a bad likeness, the compliment will run in a contrary direction, and
+you will be called frightfully ugly-looking behind your back. 12.
+
+POUND. For a farmer to dream that any of his cattle are taken to pound,
+is a sign that they will increase: if he dreams of seeing strange
+cattle in a pound, it foretells that he will soon buy some. 19, 55.
+
+PRAISE. To dream that any one praises or flatters you, is a sign of
+scandal: if a girl dreams that her lover praises her good looks or
+amiability, she bad better discard him as a false-hearted person who
+cares nothing about her, but is merely flattering his own vanity. 35,
+17.
+
+PRAYER. To dream of prayer, or of joining in a prayer with others, is a
+sign you will ask a favor of some one who will refuse you: if you dream
+of hearing prayers at church, or in any public place, it shows that
+you will be requested to do something which you will refuse to do, and
+thereby make an enemy. 34, 77.
+
+PREGNANCY. For a woman to dream that she is pregnant when she is not,
+is a sign of some special good fortune; she will either have a handsome
+present, or else her husband will be lucky in some business transaction
+and give her a part of the money: if a girl dreams this, it foretells
+that she will get married about as sudden as if the dream were a
+reality. 4, 11, 44.
+
+PRESENT. (_See Gift._) To dream of receiving a present, is usually
+a sign of disappointment; but if a married woman dreams that she is
+presented with fruit, it shows that she will soon become pregnant: if
+a girl imagines she is presented by her lover with gold jewelry, it
+predicts that he covets the possession of her person rather than her
+heart. 64, 21.
+
+PRESERVES. To dream that you make or eat them, foretells the
+acquisition of much money and property, also health and happiness. 3,
+33, 9.
+
+PRETTY GIRL. For a young man to dream of admiring a pretty girl, is a
+sign he will marry a simpleton: if a girl dreams she has a nice and
+pretty-looking lover, she will be apt to take up with a putty-head.
+Here is an ancient rhyming prediction: 4, 13.
+
+ To dream you love a girl who’s pretty,
+ Foretells that you’ll in sorrow part;
+ But if you dream she’s wise and witty,
+ She’ll be the darling of your heart!
+
+PRICK. If a lady dreams of pricking her finger while sewing, she must
+put it in her mouth on awaking, and make a wish, and she will realize
+it within one month, provided it relates to love matters: a wish of any
+other kind will doubtless come true some time or other, as the omen is
+an excellent one: if a lady dreams she pricks herself with a pin, the
+omen is not so good. (_See Pin and Briar._) 498.
+
+PRIEST. To dream that a priest offers you service, or visits you for
+any purpose, is a sign that you will be robbed; if you dream you go to
+one for advice, it foretells that some misfortune will overtake you:
+any dream about a priest is a bad one. 39.
+
+PRISON. (_See Jail._) To dream you are put in prison, foretells that
+honor awaits you: but this omen does not apply to rogues or dishonest
+people, though such a dream by them favors their desires: if a girl
+dreams that her lover has gone to prison, she will soon hear of his
+advancement. 46.
+
+PRIZE. To dream of drawing a prize in the lottery, is a sign of poverty
+and misery: if you dream that you bought a lottery ticket with a
+majority of odd numbers on it, you may perchance be successful with
+those numbers, but even numbers are worthless in dreams. To dream of
+getting prizes in any way is a bad omen. 4, 11, 44.
+
+PROCESSION. To dream of seeing a long military or civic procession,
+is a sign that some of your friends will come to poverty and ask your
+assistance; if you imagine that you are in such a procession yourself,
+it foretells that you will either make a loss, or be very short of
+money. 2.
+
+PROFIT. If a man dreams that he made a large and liberal profit by any
+transaction or speculation, it foretells losses and disaster. 48, 16.
+
+PROMISE. To dream of broken promises on the part of a friend, is a sign
+that he will confer a benefit on you: if a girl dreams that her lover
+has broken his promise to marry, it foreshadows a speedy performance of
+the ceremony. 3.
+
+PROPERTY. To dream of the loss of property, is a sign of good luck, and
+you may calculate to acquire as much as you dreamed was lost, for such
+dreams always work contrariwise. 45, 1, 14.
+
+PROSTITUTE. For a young man to dream of associating with prostitutes,
+is a sign of poverty and disgrace: if he dreams of seeing these girls
+anywhere, it foretells misfortune or bad luck: for a girl to dream of
+them, is a sign that her chastity is in danger. 35, 9.
+
+PROUD. To dream of proud people who disgust you, foretells that you
+will rise in the world: a girl who dreams this of her lover, will
+probably marry a rich or distinguished man. 3, 32, 13.
+
+PUDDING. To dream of a hard-boiled plum pudding, or a hard roll of
+pudding of any kind, is a sign you will be invited to a dinner party;
+but if you imagine the pudding looks soft and mussy, it foretells that
+you will go to some entertainment where there will be a row. 19, 70.
+
+PULPIT. If any one dreams of going into a pulpit, it is a sign he or
+she will visit a place of disrepute, as such dreams work contrariwise:
+for a girl to dream that she assists in ornamenting or dressing a
+pulpit, foretells that she will do some act that she afterwards
+regrets, because of an unworthy person being connected therewith. 62.
+
+PUMP. Dreaming of a pump is an excellent omen: if you dream of
+pumping clear water from one, it shows that you will have good luck
+in business, or in a speculation: pumping dirty water is a sign of
+sickness. 29, 4, 20.
+
+PUNCH. To dream of making this beverage, or of drinking it, is a sign
+of poverty or disgrace; if a girl dreams that her lover treats her to
+punch, she had better discard him at once, as he will undoubtedly turn
+out to be a poor and shiftless fellow. 19, 32.
+
+PUNISHMENT. (_See Stick._) To dream of punishing a child, foretells
+good fortune to the victim, and honors to yourself. For any one to
+dream of being punished by whipping, is a sign they will rise in the
+world, or be honored for some act. 7.
+
+PURSE. To dream of finding an empty purse, shadows forth
+disappointment; if the purse has plenty of money in it, your luck will
+be excellent—the more money, the better fortune: if it has in it large
+gold pieces, or large bills, you will become rich either by marriage or
+inheritance. 78.
+
+PUTTY. To dream of putty, is a sign of poverty: puttying up holes
+foretells losses—the larger the hole, the more extensive the loss. If
+you are putting glass into a window with putty, it foretells that you
+will soon remove into a meaner place than you now occupy. 6, 4.
+
+PUZZLE. To dream of bothering your brains with a puzzle, foretells
+frivolity; if you succeed, you will do something that works to your
+disadvantage: if you imagine that the puzzle puzzles you, it is a sign
+that some silly person will do you an unintentional injury. 21, 17.
+
+QUAIL. To dream of these birds is a good omen: if you imagine you see
+young quail feeding, it is a sign of thrift, particularly to farmers:
+to be successful in shooting them in the proper season, also foretells
+good luck and success in any undertaking. 76, 14.
+
+QUAKER. To dream of business intercourse with genuine broad-brims,
+is a sign you will make a bad bargain. If, in your dream, you see a
+concourse of quakers, it foretells that you will not be fortunate in
+business matters. This omen is supposed to be predicated on the fact
+that the Quakers monopolize all the good chances when they are around.
+24, 30.
+
+QUARREL. To dream of quarreling with a stranger, is a sign you will
+make a new friend or acquaintance; if you imagine that you quarrel with
+a friend, it shows that you will soon have a pleasant and agreeable
+time with him: lovers who dream of quarrels, will be apt to bill and
+coo harder than ever. 2, 12, 24.
+
+QUEEN. For a man to dream of seeing a queen, foretells the loss of
+money, either by robbery or bad debts: if he is presented to a queen,
+the dream is still worse in respect to losses. 39, 60.
+
+QUICKSILVER. (_See Metals._)
+
+QUILTING. If a lady dreams of going to a quilting party, it foretells
+for her and her family thrift and good luck: gentlemen, who dream of
+being much entertained at such a party, will have the very best success
+in love matters. 71, 54.
+
+QUINCES. To dream of quinces, is an excellent omen: if you imagine you
+are gathering quinces from trees full of fine-looking, yellow ones, it
+predicts that you will get just so much yellow gold, which will be a
+fortune. 49, 6.
+
+QUOITS. If a man dreams he is playing quoits, it is a sign he will soon
+have a quarrel. If a woman dreams she is playing quoits, it foretells
+she will have much trouble through life. To dream of quoits, is not a
+good omen to lovers. 57, 3.
+
+RABBITS. To dream of these animals, foretells many small children: if
+a newly married woman dreams of them it is a sign that she will have
+twins or triplets within a year: such a dream will not be very pleasant
+to a young girl unless she means to marry right sudden, for rabbits do
+not predict anything else but breeding children. 44, 13.
+
+RACCOON. To dream of simply treeing a raccoon, is a good omen, for you
+will probably either gain a sum of money, or have it left to you as a
+legacy: if you imagine that you shoot the animal, and he falls to the
+ground, this will spoil the luck; you should stop dreaming as soon as
+the ’coon is up the tree. 61, 12.
+
+RACES. (_See Run._) To dream of running a race on foot and winning
+it, is a sign of success in any undertaking—losing it, foretells
+disappointment. If you dream of going to a horse-race, it predicts
+poverty and shiftlessness. 46, 7.
+
+RADISHES. To dream of this vegetable, signifies that a secret will be
+discovered, which will occasion a muss in the family. To a girl, it is
+a sign she will lose her beau, and to a lover, it foreshadows he will
+be “cut out” by some other nice young man. 38, 13.
+
+RAFFLE. Raffling in your dream is the same as gambling; it foretells
+poverty and disgrace: to dream of raffling for poultry is a sign that
+your family (if you have one) will want bread; if you are single, it
+shows that you will be apt to get seedy and loaferish. 8, 44.
+
+RAFT. To dream of seeing a raft foretells a journey—the longer the
+raft, the more extensive the line of travel: if you dream of sailing
+on a raft, it is a sign you will travel, with good success, in distant
+countries. 10.
+
+RAGE. (_See Anger._) If you dream that you are in a great rage in
+consequence of a mishap, or disagreeable event, it is a sign that some
+pleasant episode in connection therewith will occur to put you in an
+excellent humor, as such dreams work contrariwise. 44, 16.
+
+RAGGED. To dream that your clothes are ragged, indicates that a young
+girl will banter you: if, in your dream, you see ragged people, it is a
+sign that you will suffer ridicule at your next meeting with a party of
+ladies and gentlemen. Rags and ridicule go together in dreams. 19.
+
+RAILROAD. To dream of traveling by railroad, foretells to people who
+keep house that they will break up their establishment: to young
+persons it indicates the loss of their home: to lovers it is a sign
+that if they marry they will not keep house long, if at all. 3, 11, 33.
+
+RAIN. To dream of a gentle rain is a good omen, as it foretells success
+in any undertaking: if you dream of a violent rain-storm accompanied
+by wind and thunder and lightning, it predicts much trouble and
+misfortune, though ultimate success in your undertakings. 21, 72.
+
+RAINBOW. It is an excellent dream to imagine you see a brilliant
+rainbow—the brighter the better: it denotes health and general
+prosperity: to lovers it foretells a happy marriage, and riches. A
+young girl who dreams of a rainbow will either get an agreeable lover
+or a present. 45.
+
+RAKING. For a girl to dream of raking newly mown hay, is a sign she
+will be married before the hay is eaten: young fellows who dream of
+raking hay with their sweethearts had better get ready their necks for
+the matrimonial noose, as they are past praying for. 4, 11.
+
+RAM. To dream that a ram runs at you for butting purposes, shadows
+forth to a young man that his society will be coveted by the girls, and
+that he will be fortunate in love matters generally: if a girl dreams
+this, she will probably have her choice of lovers, as all the young
+fellows around there will fall in love with her: if the ram succeeds in
+butting her, she will surely be taken captive and brought as Cupid’s
+prisoner into the matrimonial ranks. 19.
+
+RAPE. If a female (married or single) dreams of an outrage on her
+person, (whether attempted, or successful,) it is a sign that some one
+of the opposite sex is in love with her: if she is married, the dream
+alludes to some man other than her husband. Such dreams bode no good.
+31.
+
+RASPBERRIES. To dream of an abundance of this fruit is a sign of health
+and riches: if you dream you are eating raspberries, it shows that you
+will be engaged in some enterprise that will bring you in a good deal
+of cash, most of which will be spent lavishly. 3, 66.
+
+RATS. (_See Trap and Mouse._) To dream of rats is a sign that thieves
+are around: if you see any of these animals, it shows that some friend
+will be robbed, but if you hear them gnawing, you will suffer a loss
+from robbery yourself. If a girl, who has a lover, dreams of rats, she
+had better be careful and not let him be too free with her person, or
+he may rob her of that which cannot be restored. 54, 21.
+
+RAVEN. (_See Crow._)
+
+READING. To dream you are reading, indicates you will be successful in
+your love; in trade, it is particularly propitious; but if it appear to
+be painful or irksome to read, it signifies that you shall not succeed
+without exertion, 65, 2.
+
+REAPING. (_See Harvest._) To dream of reaping grain is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells thrift and abundance, as well as plenty of money
+in gold; this applies to a prolific field of ripe yellow grain; if the
+grain is meagre and looks rusty, the sign is entirely different, as it
+betokens scarcity and penury. 4, 11, 44.
+
+RELATIONS. If you dream of being annoyed at home by your relations,
+it is a sign that you will be the subject of much scandal: if, on the
+contrary, you imagine that your relatives visit you and give you great
+pleasure by their society, it foretells that you are talked about a
+good deal, but always with respect and veneration. 70.
+
+RELIGIOUS. For any one to dream of becoming religious, foretells that
+they will be cheated or swindled in some way, as such a dream works
+contrariwise: if you dream that a minister, or any religious person,
+exhorts you to become pious, you had better look out sharp, for some
+rogue is around, contriving how to victimize you. 54.
+
+RENT. To dream of paying your rent foretells that you will get some
+money unexpectedly; but if you dream that you owe it, without having
+the money to pay, and are worried in consequence, it foreshadows a loss
+of property. 3.
+
+REPRIEVE. If a criminal under sentence of death dream of a reprieve or
+pardon, he may make up his mind that it is all over with him; and if
+any friend, who is interested in his fate, dreams this, it amounts to
+about the same thing. 76, 5.
+
+REPTILE. To dream of any animal that is called a reptile, such as
+snakes, toads, alligators, and the like, is a sign of a quarrel: if you
+imagine you are bitten, it shows that you will come out second best,
+or badly injured either in person or reputation. If a girl dreams of a
+reptile, let her look sharp that her lover don’t play her false. 34, 3.
+
+RESCUE. If you dream of rescuing anyone from peril, it is a sign you
+will rise in the world, either by means of increased wealth, or new
+honors: to dream that you are rescued from drowning or from any other
+mode of death, shows that you will go into some successful business
+speculation with a partner. To lovers, such a dream foretells a speedy
+and happy union. 64, 9.
+
+RESIGN. If a person who holds an office, or a trust of any kind,
+dreams of resigning, it is a sign of advancement: to any one who cannot
+be advanced, it shows that he will rise above his present position in
+society. 41, 17.
+
+RESUSCITATE. To dream of resuscitating a drowned person, foretells that
+you will engage in some enterprise that attracts public attention: if
+the person thus brought to life is a female, it shadows forth marriage
+with a lady of public fame. 16, 9, 78.
+
+REVENGE. To dream of revenging an injury, is a sign of disgrace: if, in
+your dream, you imagine that you have caused any one to be locked up in
+prison from motives of revenge, it predicts that you yourself will be
+imprisoned for some degrading act. 74, 50.
+
+REVIVAL. To dream of a religious revival, or of being where a great
+many people are holding a revival meeting, is a sign that you will go
+into a disreputable public place and lose _caste_: if you take part in
+the meeting, it foretells that you will come to disgrace, as all such
+dreams work contrariwise. 13, 57.
+
+REWARD. To dream of receiving a reward for any act which is a public
+benefit, such as detecting a criminal, is a sign that you will have
+honors conferred upon you: if you dream of getting a reward for finding
+money or other property, it foreshadows good fortune and riches. 41.
+
+RHEUMATISM. To dream of this painful disease, is an omen of health:
+if you imagine a friend is thus afflicted, it shows that he will soon
+offer to do you a favor, or benefit you in some way. 52, 16.
+
+RHINOCEROS. To dream of this East India animal, denotes success to the
+man of business, but disappointment in love matters; but to dream they
+injure you, is unfavorable to the dreamer. If you dream you see one
+dead, you’ll soon leave a relative. 47.
+
+RIBBONS. For a girl to dream that she has got new, and beautiful
+ribbons on her bonnet or dress, is a sign some one will flatter her to
+her disadvantage: if she does not like the ribbon, it shows that she
+will hear of some scandal relative to herself; and if the ribbon is
+red, the scandal will impeach her chastity. 39, 6.
+
+RICE. To dream of eating rice, denotes health: if you imagine that you
+see large quantities of rice, it foretells to one who does not live in
+a rice country, a successful and pleasant journey; and to those who
+live there, it predicts gain and riches. 12, 2, 24.
+
+RICH. To dream you are rich or that you have inherited a fortune, is
+a sign of poverty and bad luck; but if you imagine that some one pays
+you large sums of money enough to make you rich, your dream will be
+realized so far that you will acquire property. If a person dreams that
+a legacy is paid to him in money, it has an entirely different meaning
+from a dream that you are enriched from a legacy, but do not see the
+money. 15, 3.
+
+RIDING. (_See Carriage, Stage-coach, and Gig._) To dream you are
+riding, if it be with a woman, is unfortunate: in trade, decay of
+business; in love, disappointments; but if it be with men, then, by
+care, the reverse of these things will happen. Riding in a railcar, or
+a stage, foretells success in business matters. 6, 12, 72.
+
+RING. For a lady to dream that a gentleman presents her with a ring, or
+that she has a ring belonging to a gentleman, is a sign of a wedding.
+If a young man dreams that he has got a lady’s ring, the omen is
+similar. To dream of finding a ring, foretells that the person finding
+it will marry within a year. 4, 20.
+
+RIOT. To dream of a public tumult or riot, is a sign of scarcity and
+bad crops to farmers, and dull business to tradesmen and mechanics:
+if any friend or relative is injured in the riot, you or they will
+probably suffer from misfortune, but if they are successful and pacify
+the crowd, it foretells that you will overcome your difficulties. 2.
+
+RIVAL. For a lover to dream that he has a rival who annoys him, is a
+sign that he is in high favor with his sweetheart; such a dream to a
+young lady has a similar omen, and she has only to name the happy day
+to settle the matter to her mind. 1, 70.
+
+RIVER. To dream of crossing a large and clear river, foretells
+a splendid fortune: if the water is muddy or riled, it predicts
+difficulties, but they will be overcome provided you get safe over the
+river without accident. If a girl dreams this, it is a sign she will
+travel somewhere and get a rich husband. 34, 20.
+
+ROBBERY. (_See Thief and Stealing._)
+
+ROBIN. To dream of seeing robins around your house, is a good omen, as
+it foretells abundance to farmers and success to any one; if you do not
+see them, but hear them trilling, it foreshadows sickness, and perhaps
+death. 6.
+
+ROCKET. To dream of seeing rockets flying in the air, foretells joy and
+gladness at some event about to happen: to married people it denotes
+the birth of a child, or the marriage of a daughter if they have one
+old enough. If a young girl dreams of seeing a rocket, she needn’t
+trouble herself further, as her speedy marriage is certain. 15.
+
+ROCKING-CHAIR. (_See Chair._)
+
+ROCKS. (_See Mountain._)
+
+ROOSTER. (_See Cock._) If a girl dreams of hearing a cock crow, it
+foretells that she will soon have a new lover; if a lover dreams this,
+it is a sign that he has a formidable rival: if a married man or woman
+dreams of roosters, it shows that some outsider is enamored of the
+wife. 10, 19.
+
+ROSE. To dream of roses is a sign of troubles: the old saying that
+every rose has its thorn, is exemplified in such a dream, because every
+rose you see brings along a trouble: dreaming of white roses signifies
+a marriage which will bring much vexation. 47, 9.
+
+ROSEMARY. To the married, denotes loss of their mates and children; to
+the lover, trouble through his or her sweetheart. 49, 7.
+
+ROTTEN. To dream of rotten things of any kind (except eggs), foretells
+sickness and death: to imagine that you handle rotten eggs, foreshadows
+disgrace. 35.
+
+ROWING. To dream of rowing a boat in clear water, is a sign of
+good luck generally: if the water is muddy, it shows trouble and
+difficulties which may be overcome; if a lover dreams of rowing a boat
+with his lady-love in it, he will doubtless make a happy match, 20.
+
+RUDDER. To dream of a broken rudder in a boat or vessel in which you
+are sailing, foretells that one of the persons who you imagine are in
+the boat, will be drowned, or come to a sudden death. 27, 75.
+
+RUIN. If you dream that you are looking at old ruins, or castles, or
+buildings, it is a sign you will travel in distant countries: to dream
+of the ruins of a house that has been burnt down, foretells that you
+will experience a loss of property: if, in your dream, you see the
+ruins of a house that has fallen down, it denotes the death of a friend
+or acquaintance. 5, 12, 60.
+
+RUN. (_See Race._) To dream of running swift, is a sign of good success
+in your undertakings; but if you stumble or fall, it denotes accidents
+or misfortune: if you imagine that you see people run, while you are
+still, it foretells disappointment. 7.
+
+RUST. To dream of rust is a bad omen: rusty knives, or tools of any
+kind, denote the destruction of property: rusty pails or utensils are
+so many signs of poverty. 54.
+
+RYE. To dream of this grain is a sign you will be fortunate in money
+matters; it also foretells success in love affairs: to the married it
+foreshadows domestic happiness. 69.
+
+SAFFRON. To dream of gathering saffron, or of drinking a decoction
+of the herb, is a sign of health and wealth: if the flowers that you
+gather look clear and healthy, it foretells that you will get just so
+much gold. 19, 24.
+
+SAILING. To dream of fair sailing on clear water, is an excellent omen,
+as it foretells abundance and success: heavy winds that endanger your
+boat, or muddy waters, point out difficulties which will probably be
+overcome. (_See Boat, Yacht and Ship._) 20.
+
+SAUSAGES. To dream of eating fried sausages, foretells that you
+will come in contact with some person who is very poor, and will be
+disagreeable to you: a girl who dreams this, will be very sure to get a
+shiftless and needy lover, and perhaps marry him if she is in much of a
+hurry to get married. 38, 16.
+
+SAWING. To dream of sawing wood, or boards, foretells that you will do
+something that you will afterwards regret: if a young fellow dreams
+this, he will probably offer some indignity to his sweetheart, which he
+will find it hard work to get overlooked. 3, 17, 55.
+
+SCAFFOLD. To dream of going upon a high scaffold, shows that you will
+rise in the world: if, in your dream, you imagine that you fall from a
+scaffold, or from any high place, it shadows forth a misfortune that
+will make you poorer: a girl who dreams of climbing upon a scaffold,
+will positively marry a rich man, or one of distinction, who is far
+above her in position. 33, 7.
+
+SCALDED. To dream of being scalded with hot water, is usually a sign of
+injuries by the elements; it may foretell losses by floods, by fire, or
+by winds, or by thunder-storms: if you dream of scalding your tongue
+with hot tea, it is a sign that you will scandalize a neighbor with
+some ill-natured remark. 3, 12, 36.
+
+SCALES. To dream you are weighing any article, is a good omen, and
+signifies that you will be happy and long-lived; but to dream you see
+another using the scales, is a sign you will be ruined by law-suits.
+68, 40.
+
+SCARCITY. To dream of a scarcity of anything is a sign that some of
+the article dreamed about is on its way to you; as if a farmer were to
+dream of a scarcity of hay, it shows that his next hay crop will be
+very abundant; or, if a girl should dream of a scarcity of compliments,
+she will probably be overwhelmed by them from gentlemen, when she next
+goes into company. 27, 9.
+
+SCHOOL. To dream of attending school, is a sign of advancement and good
+fortune: if you dream of studying, and succeed well, it shadows forth
+that you will rise to a position in society above your present one: if
+you find it difficult to learn, you will have trouble in getting along,
+but will rise at last. 42, 72.
+
+SCISSORS. To dream of a pair of scissors, is a sign of a marriage; if
+a girl dreams of them she will positively be married within a year:
+to a married woman such a dream is a bad omen, as it denotes some gay
+seducer will flatter her, and probably succeed in enticing her from the
+path of virtue. Here is an old prediction in rhyme: 47.
+
+ To dream of scissors—a full pair,
+ Tells a fair maid that soon she’ll marry;
+ But to a wife it doth declare
+ Her chastity will e’en miscarry!
+
+SCOLD. For a man to dream he has a scolding, shrewish wife, is a sign
+that he will be lucky in everything he undertakes: if a lover dreams
+that his sweetheart scolds at him, it is a sign that her love is strong
+and unalterable. 65, 16.
+
+SCRATCH. To dream of having your face scratched, is a sign that
+somebody has been disparaging your good looks: if a girl imagines in
+her dream that she has scratched herself with a pin, it foretells that
+scandal is afloat relative to her conduct with her lover, or some other
+gentleman. 3.
+
+SCREW. To dream of a small screw, is a good sign, and indicates success
+in all you undertake; but to dream of a large bed-screw portends
+trouble brought about by love affairs. 4, 11, 44.
+
+SCYTHE. (_See Husbandry._)
+
+SEA. To dream of going to sea in a ship or steamer, is a sign that you
+will be fortunate in money matters: storms and perils at sea foretell
+difficulties which may be overcome: if you dream you are seasick, it
+denotes continued health. If a girl dreams of going to sea, and having
+a pleasant voyage, she will marry rich, and love her husband; but
+storms and perils point to quarrels with him. 6.
+
+SECRET. If a young girl dreams that a friend has intrusted her with an
+important secret, it is a sign that the friend will become her enemy:
+if her lover tells her a secret, they will surely quarrel within a
+week; if she dreams of disclosing a secret to a friend, she will be
+much vexed at some scandal that is afloat respecting her. 4, 2, 8.
+
+SEDUCER. If a young woman dreams that her lover’s conduct is that of a
+gay seducer, she will find him to be very sincere in his attachment:
+a married woman who dreams that she is over-persuaded by a seducer
+to yield to his desires, will come to much honor, as such dreams
+work contrariwise. If a man dreams of seducing a virtuous girl, it
+foreshadows that he will be disgraced. 35, 8.
+
+SEGAR. (_See Tobacco._) To dream you are smoking a segar, is a sign you
+will have misfortunes and troubles with your business matters: if you
+imagine the fire of your segar goes out, it is a sign you will meet
+with losses: in love matters this dream is a bad omen. 49, 7, 9.
+
+SEPARATION. If a woman dreams that she is about to live separate from
+her husband, it promises that she will shortly find herself in the
+family way: such a dream to a man is a sign that some woman or girl,
+other than his wife, is in love with him. 26, 17.
+
+SERVANTS. (_See Domestics._) To dream that you are robbed by your
+servants, is a sign that some one among them that you think the most
+of is deceiving you: if, in your dream, you imagine you have had your
+silver stolen by a servant, it shows that you will have a difficulty,
+and discharge one who will be replaced by a dishonest person. 71, 40,
+11.
+
+SHARK. To dream of seeing a shark in the water, is an excellent omen,
+as it foretells that you will escape a great danger that menaces you:
+if you dream of capturing the shark, you will soon thereafter get a big
+lump of money. Catching fish of any kind foretells money-getting. 31.
+
+SHAVE. For a man to dream that he is shaving, is a sign he will get in
+debt: to dream that any one shaved you in a bargain, foretells that
+some debt will be paid to you which you had given up as lost. 5, 7, 54.
+
+SHAWL. If a girl dreams of getting a new shawl, it foretells that she
+will soon have a new beau who will be very attentive and affable. 3, 19.
+
+SHEEP. To dream of large flocks of sheep, is a sign of thrift and
+abundance, particularly to farmers, to whom the omen promises large
+crops: if many of the sheep have young lambs, it foretells domestic
+happiness and an excellent crop of children. 12, 5, 60.
+
+SHELL. (_See Oysters and Clams._) To dream you find an empty shell is a
+sign you will meet with losses in business, but if, in your dream, you
+imagine the shell to be full, it foretells you will be successful in
+all your undertakings. If you dream you are opening any kind of shell
+fish for others to eat it foreshadows that you will have plenty of
+funds. 19, 53.
+
+SHERIFF. If you dream the sheriff is after you with a writ, or a
+warrant, and that you dodge and escape him, it is a sign of bad luck
+and losses; but if he arrests and locks you up in prison, it foretells
+that some good fortune is coming. Soon after such a dream you will be
+lucky in anything you undertake. 62, 21.
+
+SHIFT. (_See Linen and Smock._)
+
+SHIP. To dream of seeing a ship under full sail, while you stand on the
+shore, is a sign you will soon fall in love with a pretty girl, who
+will favor your addresses; but if you see this ship while you are on
+the water in some other vessel, it shows that your sweetheart will be
+jealous of you. To dream of being shipwrecked and losing your property,
+foretells good luck in business matters, but quarrels in love affairs.
+29, 8.
+
+SHIRT. To dream that your shirt is ragged and without buttons, is
+a sign of poverty: if you imagine that you have a new shirt, with
+a stylish bosom, it foretells some disagreeable adventure in which
+your self-esteem will be keenly wounded, such as being placed in a
+ridiculous position before ladies, or before company in public. 44, 18.
+
+SHOES. (_See Boots._) If you dream that one of your shoes has a hole
+in it, it foretells that your sweetheart will offend you by favoring
+a supposed rival: if a girl dreams this, her lover will be jealous
+of her: for a young man to dream that he has lost a shoe-string, is
+a sign that he will be kissed by a lady with whom he had no previous
+acquaintance. 33.
+
+SHROUD. (_See Corpse._) To dream of a shroud is a sign of a wedding:
+to see, in your dream, a woman laid out in her shroud, foretells to a
+young person that he or she will either be present at a marriage, or
+will become a victim of Cupid’s archery. 39, 11.
+
+SICKNESS. (_See Disease._) If you dream you have had a long sickness,
+and are recovering, it foretells bad luck and difficulties: should
+you imagine that you are sick and are going to die, the omen is the
+reverse, for some good fortune awaits you: if a girl dreams that she is
+sick abed, and her lover visits her, it foretells a smooth courtship
+and happy marriage. 2.
+
+SILKS. For a lady to dream of silks and satins, and that she is having
+fine dresses made of those fabrics, foretells poverty and want: if she
+imagines that she is presented with a plain cheap dress, and is pleased
+with the present, it is a sign she will have some excellent luck; but
+if she dislikes it, it shows that she will refuse an offer that will
+cause her after regrets. 8, 7, 56.
+
+SILVER. (_See Metals._)
+
+SINGING. To dream of singing solemn music in a choir, is a sign of
+the death of a young girl who is your esteemed friend or relative: to
+lovers, such a dream foretells the loss of sweethearts: if you imagine
+you are singing some lively tune by yourself, it is a sign of sorrow,
+though it may not be connected with any death. 34, 18.
+
+SINGLE. If a married woman dreams that she is single, and that
+attentions are being paid to her by a beau, it foretells that her
+husband has become captivated by a new love, and will probably be false
+to his vows: the omen is similar to a married man who dreams that he is
+either a bachelor or widower. 69, 72.
+
+SISTER. (_See Brothers._) To dream you see your sister denotes a speedy
+death in your family, and that the dreamer will be long-lived: if you
+are in love, it is a favorable omen. 24, 8.
+
+SKATING. To dream of skating over smooth ice, and gliding along without
+much effort, is a sign of success and good luck: if you are skating
+with ladies, it foretells that your love matters will go smoothly; if
+the ice be broken or lumpy, it denotes difficulties; and if you imagine
+you fall down, you will probably experience a misfortune or have great
+trouble. 4, 7, 28.
+
+SKY. A clear sky denotes a marriage, speedy, and happy; a red sky,
+increase of wealth; if you ascend into the sky, you may look for much
+honor; a cloudy sky shows misfortune. 2, 11, 24.
+
+SLAUGHTER-HOUSE. To dream of being in an empty slaughter-house, shows
+that you are in danger, but can avoid it by precaution. To see animals
+slaughtered is a good sign, if the blood flow freely; if the blood does
+not flow, you will meet with some accident. 26, 12.
+
+SLAVE. To dream that a favorite slave has become ungrateful, and run
+away, is a sign that some one has been tampering with him or her,
+but without effect; if, in your dream, you imagine that one of your
+favorite negroes has been impertinent or neglectful, and is to be
+flogged, and that you feel bad about it, it shows that some one will
+try to injure you through the medium of your slaves, and you should
+therefore look sharp to the characters of white people around. 62, 4.
+
+SLEIGH-RIDE. To dream of a sleigh-ride, where the sleighing is good,
+and the sleigh glides free and noiseless, is an excellent omen, as it
+foretells success and good fortune generally, particularly to farmers:
+but if you imagine the sleighing is poor, and that the runners screech
+on the ground, it foretells trouble and unhappiness. Young men who
+dream of sleigh-riding with girls, stopping at taverns, drinking,
+getting the girls boozy, and then performing unnamable pranks, are thus
+forewarned that they will be poor and shiftless, as such dreams are
+certain omens of misery and disgrace. 67, 46.
+
+SLIDING. (_See Ice._) To dream of sliding on smooth ice, foretells good
+luck: if a girl dreams that a young man assists her in sliding, and
+that she enjoys it, she will soon get an agreeable lover: ragged or wet
+ice, or holes in the ice, foreshadow difficulties. If a girl dreams
+of falling down on the ice, and that her lover falls with her, and
+overtops her, they may as well go to the parson at once, and have the
+knot tied, as it is a sure thing to happen. 4, 28.
+
+SMALL-POX. (_See Sores._) To dream that you have this disease,
+foretells health and good fortune: if a lover should be so ungallant,
+as to imagine that his sweetheart is thus afflicted, it is a sign that
+he will marry a great beauty; if she happens to be a beauty, it will be
+all right, of course; if not, he will look out for number two. 41, 32.
+
+SMOCK. (_See Linen._) If a girl dreams that she has a ragged
+undergarment, it foretells that some rich greenhorn will try to seduce
+her, and failing, will offer her marriage: if she dreams that she has
+a good supply of beautiful worked undergarments, it is a sign that she
+will sigh in vain for a lover; if she imagines that a gentleman gives
+her a new smock, she will be in danger of losing her chastity. 12.
+
+SMOKE. To dream of being in a room full of smoke, foretells that you
+will engage in an angry controversy, and perhaps quarrel: lovers who
+dream of smoke, will nose out the fire when they next meet, and it will
+prove to be either one of anger or of lust. 76, 5.
+
+SNAKE. To dream of snakes is a sign of an enemy, or that some one is
+slandering you; it also denotes quarrels and angry disputes: if an
+engaged young lady dreams of them, she had better ascertain positively
+whether her lover is all right before she marries him. 47, 50.
+
+SNEEZE. To dream you sneeze, is a sign of long life. 55.
+
+SNOW. (_See Sleigh-Ride and Thaw._) To dream that the ground is covered
+with clean, white snow, is a sign of joy and pleasure: if you walk in
+it, it foretells that you will go on a pleasant journey; to eat it,
+denotes health: if the snow is dirty, or melted in patches, you will
+have troubles, but they will not amount to much. To dream of a regular
+storm, is a sign you will be very successful in all your love and
+business affairs. 21, 67, 46.
+
+SNUFF. (_See Tobacco._)
+
+SNUFFERS. (_See Candles._) To dream of snuffing out a candle, is a sign
+of a death in the family: if you imagine that you snuff it too short,
+without putting it out, it foretells that you will do something that
+will make a female friend shed tears. 40.
+
+SOAP. Signifies trouble in business, but it will soon depart. 66, 3, 11.
+
+SOLDIER’S DRUM. (_See Zouave, Parade and Procession._)
+
+SORES. To dream of your body being covered with blotches, shows that a
+great fortune will fall to you. To have the arms full of sores, shows
+ill success in business. 19, 74.
+
+SOW. To dream of a sow with a large litter of pigs, denotes abundance
+to a farmer, but is a sign of ill-health to a tradesman or mechanic: if
+a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will soon marry a man in bad
+health. 4, 12, 48.
+
+SPIDER. To dream that you see a spider coming toward you, is a sign
+that some one will soon pay you money: if you imagine that the spider
+spins down before your face, the omen is similar, for you will make a
+good lot of money in some way. If a married woman dreams of seeing a
+large spider, it foretells that she will have a miscarriage, which she
+will not be sorry for. 72, 16.
+
+SPY-GLASS. To dream of looking through one of these instruments and
+observing objects at a distance, is a sign that you will enlarge your
+possessions; if you are a farmer, you will add to your farm; if a man
+of business, enlarge your business, &c.; but to a poor devil who hasn’t
+got much of anything, it predicts that he will increase his family for
+the want of something else to enlarge. 14.
+
+SQUINTING. (_See Eye._) If a girl dreams of seeing a good-looking young
+man who squints, it is a sign that some one has fallen in love with
+her, and only waits an opportunity to demonstrate his passion: if a
+gentleman dreams that his sweetheart squints, it foretells that she is
+thinking about some one else rather than him, and would not break her
+heart if he refused to “come to tea.” 49.
+
+SQUIRREL. To dream of these animals is a sign of good fortune; they
+denote abundant crops to a farmer, and success to any one: if a man
+dreams of being bitten by a squirrel, it foretells that he will lose
+something by robbery; if he catches the animal when it bites him, and
+puts it in a cage, the omen is different, for he will have a piece of
+good luck—though a robbery may be mixed up in it. 21.
+
+STABLE. To dream of a stable denotes hospitality and good
+entertainment. 2, 11.
+
+STAGE-COACH. To dream of riding in one signifies good luck in business:
+if you run after one, you will be out of employment for a long season:
+to see one pass, will rid you of troublesome friends. If you are in a
+stage-coach and it turns over without injuring you, you will be lucky
+in your speculations; if you dream you are killed by the fall, you must
+expect misfortune. (_See Riding and Coach._) 6, 12, 72.
+
+STAIN. For a girl to dream of stains on her dress, is a sign of
+scandal: if she imagines that the stains are in front, she will be
+accused of an improper intimacy with a gentleman; if on the right
+sleeve, it will be insinuated that she took what did not belong to her;
+if on the left sleeve, some one will be disparaging her veracity. If a
+lover dreams that his sweetheart’s dress is stained behind, it shows
+that she is untrue to him. 65, 13.
+
+STARS. (_See Night._) To dream of seeing multitudes of bright stars
+in a clear sky, is a sign (to a lady) that she will have a great many
+children, and troops of good friends: to a man of business, such a
+dream denotes as many customers as he sees stars in a clear sky. If a
+girl dreams of seeing stars, and notices one or more to be brighter
+than the rest, those bright ones are lovers, and the small ones are her
+children or friends. 4, 19.
+
+STATUE. To dream of marble statues is a sign of advancement; those who
+imagine that they see beautiful statuary will be sure to rise above
+their present position in society. 3, 13.
+
+STEALING. (_See Thief._) If you dream of being robbed, it is a sign
+that you will make a good speculation of some kind; to dream of
+stealing any particular article yourself, foretells that you will soon
+want just that thing; thus, if you imagine that you steal money, you
+will be badly in want of some. 49, 16.
+
+STEEL. (_See Metals._)
+
+STEEPLE. (_See Tower._) To dream of going up to the top of a steeple,
+and looking off at a distance, is a sign that you will increase your
+property or effects: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will
+marry above her present position. 6.
+
+STICK. To hold a stick foretells mourning; to use it as a prop,
+instability of fortune; to any one with it shows that you are
+charitable; to receive a beating with one, predicts you will better
+your position in life. 7, 7[TN: illegible].
+
+STILLBORN. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to a stillborn child,
+it foretells that her next child will be an uncommon bright one: a
+childless woman who dreams this, will realize her fondest hopes. 49, 77.
+
+STING. To dream of being stung by a bee or wasp, foretells an injury
+by unjust and scandalous reports: a young lady who dreams that a bee
+stings her, will probably have her chastity questioned. 64, 18.
+
+STOCKINGS. To dream of cotton-stockings, foretells moderate happiness;
+of silk, poverty. To take them off, denotes the reception of money.
+Stockings with holes in them, signify the loss of property. 47, 71.
+
+STORM. (_See Rain, Hail and Snow._) To dream of a devastating storm,
+foretells losses and trouble: a violent rain-storm denotes that you
+will have good luck, but that misfortunes will nevertheless injure your
+prospects: gentle showers promise the luck without the adverse omen.
+21, 72.
+
+STOVE. To dream of a stove is a sign of wealth, if there be a fire in
+it; but if cold, a sign of poverty. 8, 60.
+
+STRANGER. For a girl to dream that she is kissed by a stranger,
+promises her a new lover: a married woman who dreams this will probably
+soon present her husband with a stranger in the shape of a new baby,
+and he will unhappily doubt its paternity. 62, 8.
+
+STRAW. To dream of a bundle of straw denotes abundance; if scattered
+about, poverty. 4, 51, 78.
+
+STRAWBERRIES. To dream of this fruit, denotes success in love affairs,
+and a happy marriage. 39, 78.
+
+SUCKLE. (_See Wet-Nurse._) If a married woman dreams of suckling a
+child, it foretells that she will soon give birth to another; should
+a bachelor dream of seeing a child suckled, he had better make up his
+mind that he will soon have a young lady’s board to pay, whether he
+marries or not; but as the latter would be the better course let him be
+looking round for a wife at once. A married man who dreams this, will
+soon become a happy father. 7, 9, 63.
+
+SUGAR. To dream of sugar denotes purity: if a lover dreams that his
+sweetheart presents him with white loaf-sugar, it shows that her
+affection for him is pure and disinterested; it is therefore a good
+sign for him to dream of taking tea with her, as she would naturally
+put such sugar in his tea: to dream of sugar of any kind, or sugar
+candy, is an excellent omen. 19, 48.
+
+An old prediction runs as follows:
+
+ Dreams of sugar and sweetmeat,
+ Or drinking wine with pleasure great,
+ And all dreams pleasant in condition,
+ Show sports of love, and love’s fruition.
+
+SUN. To dream that the sun blinds you, foretells that you will be
+overwhelmed with good fortune: to see a beautiful bright sun, is a sign
+of success in anything you may undertake: a red sun denotes mishaps
+and accidents: if the sun looks dim and smoky, it foreshadows trouble
+and difficulties. To dream of seeing the sun rise brings good news and
+luck; the setting sun, misfortune. 2, 10, 20.
+
+SWALLOWS. To dream of these birds, is a good omen, as it foretells
+health and abundant crops to farmers: if you dream of killing a
+swallow, it is a sign of a misfortune; if you catch the bird, you will
+have splendid luck and get plenty of money; but if, after capturing,
+you dream you let him go, a fortune will slip through your fingers. 25.
+
+SWAN. To dream of a white swan, signifies riches; a black one, domestic
+sorrow. Its song denotes death. 9, 18.
+
+SWEARING. (_See Blasphemy._) To dream that you hear violent
+altercations and profane swearing, is a sign that you will lose caste,
+and go down in the world: if a man dreams that in his anger he curses
+and swears, it foretells that he will come to poverty. 72, 4.
+
+SWEEPING. For a girl to dream of sweeping the house, foretells that a
+lover will soon make his appearance: if a married woman dreams this, it
+shows that some outsider is charmed with her, and may venture to make
+dishonorable proposals. 39, 12.
+
+SWIMMING. To dream of swimming is an excellent omen, as it foretells
+success and good fortune generally: if you dream you are swimming, or
+bathing in clear water with ladies, it predicts that you will soon
+marry the one of your choice, particularly if she be present; and to
+dream you are naked and swimming in clear water, is a sign of excellent
+luck in business matters. 54, 18.
+
+SWORD. To dream of having a sword, is a sign of poverty: if you dream
+of seeing a man flourish one of these weapons, it foretells you will
+make a loss. A young girl who imagines her lover wears a sword, had
+better give up all ideas of silks and satins, and learn how to cook and
+wash, for she will be a poor man’s wife. 17.
+
+TABLE-CLOTH. To dream of a dirty table-cloth foretells that you will
+have plenty to eat. 51.
+
+TAILOR. If a girl dreams that she has a tailor for her beau, and is
+pleased with him, it is a sign that she will marry a softly sort of
+a fellow, who will allow her to be both master and mistress after
+marriage. Here is a popular rhyme in illustration: 19, 70.
+
+ The maid who dreams a tailor she would wed,
+ Will marry one who’ll be a log in bed;
+ And she’ll be master, too, of all his riches,
+ And, in the vulgar parlance, “wear the breeches!”
+
+TALL. If a young lady dreams that her beau is a very tall man, it is a
+sign that her future husband will be a “wee bit of a fellow,” and not
+of much account. 4.
+
+TAMARINDS. To dream of tamarinds shows much vexation and uneasiness
+through a woman, bad success in trade, a rainy season, and news from
+beyond sea that is disagreeable: in love they denote disappointment.
+77, 16.
+
+TANNERY. To dream of being in a tannery is a sign of health and riches:
+if a girl dreams that her beau is a tanner, she will probably get a
+good husband, and one who is well off, and will live to a good old age,
+for your tanners are usually tough customers. 52, 7.
+
+TAR. To dream of tar is a sign you will travel by water: if you dream
+you get it on your hands or clothes, it shows that you will have
+difficulties; and to imagine you accidentally seat yourself on tar, and
+get stuck to the seat, foretells that you will be detained against your
+will in some foreign country. 12, 6, 72.
+
+TAVERN. (_See Inn._)
+
+TEA. To dream of drinking tea, or being present at a tea-party, is a
+sign of thrift and domestic happiness: a girl who dreams of meeting her
+lover at such a party, or of drinking tea with him, may be sure that
+he’s all right, and she can close her matrimonial bargain with him at
+once without any risk. 61, 19.
+
+TEARS. To dream of shedding tears of sympathy, is a sign that some one
+is in love with you; this applies to both sexes, but more particularly
+to girls who cry easy: if you imagine you cry from grief, some good
+fortune awaits you, and you will have riches in proportion to the tears
+shed: if you dream that you shed tears from vexation, it shows that you
+will experience a loss just in proportion to the tears, or that some
+one will injure your prospects by circulating a scandal. 14.
+
+TEETH. To dream you lose your teeth, denotes the loss of friends,
+troubles, and misfortunes; to the lover it shows the loss of your
+sweetheart’s affections: to dream you cut a new tooth, denotes the
+birth of a child who will make a figure in the world. 33, 11, 2.
+
+TELEGRAPH. To dream of one denotes tidings from abroad, in a short
+space of time, and still more speedily if you think the telegraph is at
+work. 47, 10, 78.
+
+TELESCOPE. (_See Spy-Glass._) To dream of looking through a telescope
+at a distance over farm lands, is a sign you will either purchase a
+farm or inherit one: if you dream of looking at the stars, it shows
+that you will rise in the world—if at the moon, and you are delighted
+with the view, it predicts for you great riches. 7, 14.
+
+TEMPEST. (_See Storm._) To dream of long-continuing and great tempests,
+signifies affliction, troubles, dangers, losses and perils; to the
+poor, repose. 57, 8.
+
+TEN-PINS. To dream of playing ten-pins, foretells disgrace; if the
+centre pin falls, one of the players will die; if many pins fall, all
+of the players will suffer loss. 10, 2, 20.
+
+THAW. To dream of a thaw, and walking in splashy snow, foretells
+trouble and losses: if a young fellow dreams that he walks through
+splashy snow to go a courting, it is a sign that he will quarrel with
+his sweetheart. 34, 18.
+
+THEATRE. For a young man to dream of taking his sweetheart to the
+theatre, is a sign that she will favor a new beau: if he dreams
+of going to the theatre alone, and seeing his lady-love among the
+audience, it shows that she has already seen and spoken to a gentleman
+that she likes better than him: if a lady dreams this of her beau, the
+omen is similar. 2, 4, 8.
+
+THIEF. (_See Stealing._) To dream that thieves break into your house
+and rob you, is a sign of honor or profit—the greater the robbery, the
+more extensive will be your good fortune: if you dream that you catch a
+thief and deliver him over to the officers of justice, it denotes that
+you will have trouble in connection with your good fortune. 49, 16, 3.
+
+THIRST. If any one dream of thirst or of drinking water, if the water
+appear clear and acceptable, he will live joyfully and become wealthy;
+if the water be troubled, warm, or offensive, it forewarns him that
+without prudence, he will end his days in affliction. 20, 49.
+
+THORN. For a girl to dream of accidentally sticking a thorn into her
+finger is a sign she will have a ring presented to her, probably a
+wedding ring: if a married woman dreams this, some outsider will make
+love to her by first offering a ring. If any one dreams of sticking a
+thorn in either foot or leg, it foretells improper intimacy with the
+opposite sex which will not end in disgrace, but in marriage: married
+people who dream this will do the same thing and not be found out. 39.
+
+THROAT. For a married woman to dream that her throat is sore, or
+swelled, or out of order, is a sign she is in the family way; and a
+girl who dreams this had better be careful and keep pretty clear of the
+young fellows, for fear of accidents. 60, 18.
+
+THUMB. If a girl dreams that her beau hurts her by pinching her thumb,
+it is a sign that if she marries him she will have to get her own
+living, and help to support him besides: for a man to dream of losing
+his thumb, or of an injury to it, foretells poverty—on the contrary, to
+dream of a big thumb denotes much wealth. 36, 5.
+
+THUNDER. To dream of heavy thunder denotes large crops to farmers: to
+tradesmen, mechanics, or speculators, it foretells a big business, or
+a successful speculation: if you are terrified by thunder, so much the
+better. 51.
+
+TIGER. To dream of seeing one of these animals in a rage, is a sign
+that you have a treacherous friend who will endanger your reputation:
+to see, in your dream, a sleeping or quiet tiger, foretells that you
+will soon make the acquaintance of a treacherous or unworthy person. If
+a girl dreams this, she had better be suspicious of the next young man
+who offers her his attentions. 59, 62.
+
+TOAD. To dream of seeing a toad is a sign of a rain storm: if, in your
+dream, you see multitudes of small toads, it foretells good crops to
+farmers, and excellent luck to anybody: if a newly married woman dreams
+this, it shadows forth that she will have as many smart children as
+she sees toads—three or four at a time, perhaps—and if she don’t, her
+husband will beget them elsewhere. 3.
+
+TOBACCO. For a boy to dream of chewing tobacco, is a sign of poverty,
+as rum and tobacco-chewing go together: to dream of smoking foretells
+waste, but is not exactly an omen of poverty, though waste always
+precedes that state. The best way is not to dream of using tobacco at
+all. If you dream of seeing large piles of tobacco, it is a sign of bad
+luck and loss in some speculation. To dream you take snuff is a bad
+omen in love affairs, but if you dream you sneeze when you take it, it
+is a sign of long life. 49, 7, 55.
+
+TOMATOES. To dream of this valuable vegetable, denotes prosperity in
+life; if you have children, they will thrive; if you are in love, your
+suit will be successful. If a maiden dreams of them, it denotes that
+she will marry her present sweetheart, have many children, and be very
+happy; to a farmer it denotes abundant crops. 78, 6.
+
+TOMB. To dream of visiting a large and magnificent tomb-stone
+foreshadows that you will fall in love with some one above you in
+social position: visiting a cemetery or grave-yard in your dream, is a
+sign that your turn will soon come to join the matrimonial ranks. 48.
+
+TONGUE. If a lady dreams of having a sore on her tongue, it is a sign
+that she has uttered a slander. 54.
+
+TOOTH-ACHE. To dream that you have the tooth-ache is a sign of trouble:
+if you imagine that you are about to have the tooth pulled, it
+foretells that your trouble will end by a piece of good luck; and if
+you dream that the tooth is out, and you have it in your hand, you will
+soon gain a good lump of money. 8, 5, 34.
+
+TORCH. To see a bright torch-light at a distance in a dark night, and
+go toward it, foretells a successful journey; but if you stumble by the
+way you will experience an accident: to dream of carrying a lighted
+torch at night, is a sign that some distant friend will pay you a
+visit. 20.
+
+TOWER. (_See Steeple._) To dream of going upon a high tower, and
+looking off on a beautiful landscape, foretells that you will acquire
+land either by purchase or inheritance: if you look off upon the water,
+it is a sign of a journey by sea, during which you will acquire riches:
+if birds are flying around the tower, they foretell so many troubles.
+58.
+
+TRAP. To dream of setting a trap to catch rats or mice, is a sign, to a
+girl, that she will receive the attentions of a dishonest lover: if she
+dreams of catching any, she will probably marry a great scamp, or be
+seduced by one. 6.
+
+TRAVELING. To dream of traveling by railroad or steamboat is a very
+good omen, as it denotes thrift and success in your business; but if
+you dream you are journeying in your own private coach, it foreshadows
+poverty in the end, though you may have temporary good luck: if you
+dream you have crossed the ocean, and find yourself in a foreign
+country, you may be sure that good fortune will attend all your
+business transactions. 6, 11, 66.
+
+TREES. (_See Blossom._) To dream of green and flourishing trees is an
+excellent omen, as it foretells riches—the larger the trees, the better
+the fortune: if you dream of climbing into a high tree, you will not
+only be rich, but will come to great distinction. If a girl should
+dream of seeing her lover up a tree, she will marry a wealthy and
+distinguished man. 4.
+
+TRIPE. If a woman dreams of cleaning tripe, it foretells that she will
+either be untrue to her husband or an outrage will be perpetrated upon
+her: to dream of eating tripe is about as bad, for it shows to a man
+that he will be engaged in some affair with a female (not his wife)
+which will bring him to disgrace. 28, 9.
+
+TRIPLETS. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to three children at
+one parturition, it foretells riches and honors: if a husband dreams
+that his wife is so delivered, the omen is the same: if any one dreams
+of seeing triplets who are healthy and well-formed, it foretells good
+luck and success, particularly in love matters. 46, 5.
+
+TROUT. To dream of catching trout is an excellent omen, as it foretells
+that you will get money—the larger the trout, the more cash you will
+receive. It is stated in some of the books that to newly married people
+such a dream foretells the birth of a child, but I have been unable
+to verify this, because most young married people will have children
+whether they dream of trout or not. 29, 5.
+
+TRUMPET. To dream you hear the sound of a trumpet, is a bad omen, and
+denotes trouble and misfortune; to the tradesman it presages the loss
+of business; to the farmer, bad crops; to the lover, insincerity in the
+object of your affections. 46, 9.
+
+TRUNK. To dream of a full trunk, shows the necessity of economy; an
+empty one, signifies that you may expect to receive money. 39, 62, 1.
+
+TUB. To dream of a tub is a bad omen: if it be filled with water, you
+have evil to fear; an empty tub signifies trouble; and to run against
+one, sorrow. 46, 9.
+
+TULIPS. To dream of these beautiful flowers is a sign of abundance: if
+you imagine you see a garden full of them belonging to yourself, it
+foretells that you will become rich and distinguished: if a girl dreams
+that her lover presents her with tulips, she will undoubtedly marry
+well, and probably her husband will be wealthy. 48.
+
+TURKEY. To dream of seeing a flock of turkeys denotes to a tradesman,
+or a farmer, that he will have a transaction which will bring him in a
+considerable sum in ready money: if a lover who is about to be married
+dreams of turkeys, he will find that his sweetheart has got a marriage
+portion in ready money. 72, 15.
+
+TURNIP. To dream of turnips signifies the discovery of secrets and
+domestic quarrels. 29, 52.
+
+TURTLE. To dream of turtles is a sign of long life: an engaged young
+lady who dreams of these animals will probably marry according to her
+wishes, and live with her husband until they become an old couple; but
+her husband will be one of the slow and easy kind. 67, 49, 5.
+
+TWINS. To dream of having twins, brings good news, and is a sign of
+honor or riches; it is also a good omen in love matters if a man dreams
+it, but if a girl has this dream she must look out for the boys. 44, 4.
+
+UMBRELLA. If a young girl dreams that she has got a new umbrella, it
+foretells a new lover: if a married woman dreams this, it is a sign
+that some other gentleman besides her husband is enamored of her. A
+man who dreams of buying an umbrella will have a narrow escape from
+threatened danger. 70, 30, 1.
+
+UNDER GROUND. To dream that you go down under ground, whether into a
+well, a deep cellar or vault, or a cave, denotes your early death; but
+if you dream that you are digging in the ground, and are in a hole
+which you have dug, the omen is different, for it denotes riches and
+long life. 5, 9, 45.
+
+UNDRESS. To see your wife undress, signifies wantonness; to undress in
+the presence of others, slander; to undress in your room alone, the
+discovery of secrets. 48, 3.
+
+VACCINATED. To dream of being vaccinated foretells good health; and if
+you imagine that you have a large sore on your arm from vaccination, it
+is a sign that you will present to some one a liberal gift, and receive
+much honor. 49.
+
+VARNISHING. To dream that your house or furniture is being, or has
+been, newly varnished, is a sign of a funeral; but if you imagine that
+you are varnishing anything, it merely foretells a loss with out a
+death. 59, 76.
+
+VAULT. An unexpected estate will fall to you, if you dream of a vault.
+21, 18.
+
+VEAL. To dream of veal being roasted is good; but boiled, shows
+sickness; and raw, a great disappointment; particularly to those who
+have recently formed an attachment or any new connection. 48, 2.
+
+VELVET. If a lady dreams of new velvet dresses, it foretells poverty:
+velvet cushions, slippers or bonnets, are signs of waste and want. 36,
+18.
+
+VENISON. To dream of eating venison is a sign that you will travel: if
+you imagine you see large saddles of venison in market, it foretells a
+journey for business purposes which will be profitable. 42, 70.
+
+VERMIN. To dream of any kind of vermin, is ominous of ill-luck and
+enemies, especially if they are in the house, or near the fireplace;
+but if out of the house, they are unimportant. 27, 62.
+
+VEXATION. To dream of being much vexed, foretells the reverse, and that
+you will shortly be much pleased. 33, 61.
+
+VINEGAR. To dream you drink vinegar, signifies sickness and sharp
+words: to use it in pickling, is a sign of gain. 29, 6, 76.
+
+VINES. To dream of seeing or pruning grape-vines, or gathering grapes,
+is prosperity to persons in trade, journeys to the rich, employment to
+the poor, and comfort to those in affliction. 38, 17.
+
+VIOLIN. (_See Fiddle._)
+
+VIRGIN. If a man dreams that he defloured a virgin, it is a sign that
+he will be disgraced by some act of his own: to dream of seeing the
+Virgin Mary, foretells that great honors await you: such a dream, to an
+honest business man, promises him riches and honor; but to a dishonest
+one, it foretells disaster. 54, 3.
+
+VOMITING. To dream of vomiting is usually a sign of health: if you
+imagine that you vomit up worms, it foretells that you will have good
+luck in preventing a loss, or a robbery. 14, 65.
+
+VOTE. To dream you are voting, is bad, particularly to a sick person:
+for a newly married woman to dream of voting, is a sure sign that her
+first child will be a boy, who will come to great honors. 9.
+
+VOW. To dream that you have made a vow and broken it, is bad to all.
+21, 78.
+
+VULTURE. To dream of the vulture is unfortunate to all, except sick
+persons, to whom it foretells a speedy recovery. 41, 62.
+
+WADING. If a girl dreams of wading in clear water, it is a sign that
+she will soon marry, and be delighted with her husband’s embraces: if
+she imagines that the water is rily or muddy, it foretells that she
+will enjoy the pleasures of illicit love. If a man dreams of wading,
+it denotes that he will be engaged in some intrigue with a female—the
+deeper the water, the more difficult the realization of his wishes:
+muddy water denotes loose women. 20, 16.
+
+WAKE. To dream of going to a wake where drinking and howling is
+going on, is a sign of poverty and misery: if a girl dreams this, it
+foretells her speedy marriage with a man who will turn out to be a
+miserable drunkard. If a young man dreams of seeing his sweetheart at a
+wake, he had better back out from the bargain, as she will never be of
+much account, and may become a drunkard. 8.
+
+WALKING. To dream you are walking in a dirty and muddy place,
+foretells sickness and vexation: in love, it denotes bad temper and
+disappointment. 47.
+
+WALLS. To dream you are walking on, or climbing over walls, denotes
+some dangerous enterprise, trouble, and vexation: if you get down
+without the wall falling, or hurting yourself, you will succeed; if
+not, be disappointed. 71, 4.
+
+WALNUTS. To dream of them denotes riches and happiness; to the lover,
+success and a good tempered sweetheart. 37, 16.
+
+WAR. To dream that war exists, and that you see bodies of troops
+marching, foretells quarrels and troubles in your family, if you have
+one, and if not, among your relatives: if you imagine you see a battle,
+the omen is still worse, as the quarrel will probably become public and
+notorious. 4, 6, 24.
+
+WARMING-PAN. If any single person dreams that his or her bed is warmed
+with one of these utensils, it is a positive forerunner of their
+marriage: if a married woman dreams this, it is a sign that she will go
+to bed with a strange bedfellow (whether male or female, is not known).
+16.
+
+WARTS. To dream of warts on your left hand is a sign you will receive
+some money; if they are on the right hand, it foretells that you will
+pay away money: to dream of a wart on the nose, signifies that you will
+be distinguished; on the neck or bosom of a female, denotes riches. 65.
+
+WASHING. To dream of washing, foretells change of abode, and if you
+wash in clear, cold water, the dream is an omen of good; but If the
+water is dirty or turbid, it is the reverse. If a woman dream she
+is washing clothes, it is a sign she will hear good news within
+twenty-four hours. 20, 16.
+
+WASP. (_See Sting._) To dream of wasps denotes thrift and abundance,
+particularly to farmers and those who have fruit-trees. If a girl
+dreams that she is stung by a mud-wasp, it foretells that she will
+marry a gentleman who will love her dearly. 62, 18.
+
+WASTE. To dream of waste is a sign of beggary, provided you are the
+cause of the waste; but if you feel bad and try to prevent it, the omen
+is one of losses, which may not end in beggary. 29, 17.
+
+WATCH. (_See Clock._) If you dream of buying a gold watch, it is a
+sign of poverty; but if you imagine that you are presented with one,
+it foretells good luck and money-getting: to dream of losing your gold
+watch is also a good omen, as it denotes success in business. 42, 11.
+
+WATCHMAN. To dream of calling in one, gives confidence: to see a
+person taken to prison by a watchman, shows that you must be careful
+in conducting your business. If the watchman take hold of you, it is a
+very good sign. To see many watchmen together, signifies the loss of
+money. 67, 52.
+
+WATER. To dream of being on the water, is good, if the water be clear;
+but if muddy or troubled, the reverse. To see a wide expanse of water,
+over or on which you wish to get, but cannot, shows that you are
+about to embark in some undertaking without first securing the means
+of success. (_See Bathing, Fountain, Pump, Pitcher, River, Rowing,
+Sailing, Swimming, Thirst, Washing and Well._) 42, 18.
+
+WATERMELONS. (_See Melons._)
+
+WEDDING. (_See Marriage._) To dream of being at a jolly wedding, is a
+sign of a funeral: if you imagine that you kiss the bride, it foretells
+the death of a dear friend or relative. In an old dream-book, published
+1808, it is stated that to dream of kissing the bride, is a sign of
+your own death, but on referring to the best authorities, I find it is
+necessary to dream that the bride should herself be the kissing party,
+and that an impressive kiss from her on the occasion denotes the death
+of the person kissed. 42, 78, 2.
+
+WELL. To dream of looking into a deep well, is a sign you will find a
+treasure: if you dream of falling into a deep well, it foretells your
+death: if you imagine you draw clear water from a well, and drink it,
+you will surely have good fortune of some kind. 7, 14, 77.
+
+WET-NURSE. To dream of seeing a wet-nurse suckling a child, is a
+sign of venery: to a married man it foretells that he will break his
+marriage vows; and to unmarried girls it denotes shame. 7, 9, 63.
+
+WHALE. To dream of seeing one of these monsters alive in the ocean, is
+a sign that you will be in great peril of losing either your life or
+property: if you dream that you spear or harpoon a whale successfully,
+it foretells great and abundant fortune. 37, 22, 61.
+
+WHEAT. (_See Grain._)
+
+WHISKERS. If a man dreams that he has very long whiskers or beard, it
+foretells that he will commit some folly in connection with a female;
+to a married man it shows that he will appear ridiculous from neglect
+of his wife and attentions to other women who flatter him; to a single
+man, that he will lose caste by foolish, though perhaps not criminal
+conduct toward silly girls. 78.
+
+WHIST. (_See Cards._)
+
+WHITEWASH. To dream of having your house or place of business
+whitewashed, is an excellent omen, as it promises you good health,
+and a good name and repute among your friends: if a woman dreams of
+whitewashing her house, or any part of it, it foretells that she will
+have a son who will be distinguished, or that some act of hers will
+attract public attention. 42, 77.
+
+WHORE. If a man dreams of associating with one of this class of women,
+it foretells losses and disgrace: should a girl dream of playing the
+whore, when in fact she is chaste, it foretells her speedy marriage,
+and that she will love her husband. 19.
+
+WHORTLEBERRIES. For a girl to dream of picking these berries in
+abundance, is a sign she will marry very young and get a good husband,
+though not a rich one: to dream of eating whortleberries, denotes
+health. 69, 30.
+
+WIDOW. If a girl dreams that she is a widow, it foretells that she will
+have many lovers: such a dream to a married woman, denotes that some
+man beside her husband is in love with her. 38, 60.
+
+WIG. To dream of wearing a wig is a good omen to a bald bachelor, as
+it foretells that some lady has a design to catch the poor fellow, and
+will not scruple as to the means she uses to accomplish it: if a young
+man dreams of wearing a wig, it is a sign that he will sleep with his
+sweetheart before he marries her. 3, 6, 69.
+
+WILL. To dream of making your will is a sign of long life, and good
+fortune generally: if you imagine that you make your will to give a
+legacy to a lady, it foretells to a man (whether married or single)
+that he will marry. 22.
+
+WILLOW. To dream of weeping willows is a sign of sickness and death: if
+they hang over a stream, it foretells sickness only. 12, 70.
+
+WINE. To dream of drinking wine is a sign of poverty: if a lover dreams
+that his sweetheart treats him to a glass of wine, it foretells that
+she will be an unthrifty wife. 39.
+
+WITCH. To dream of a witch foretells that you will leave your home
+and sojourn among strangers: if the witch attempts to injure you, it
+denotes that you will be dependent upon strangers for your support. No
+intelligent person believes in witches, yet a great many dream of them,
+and the above is the horoscope of such a dream. 17.
+
+WOLF. To dream of being chased by one of these animals, foretells that
+you will be cheated in a trade or bargain: if a girl dreams of being
+frightened by a wolf, it shows that her lover (if she has one) is a
+bad man, and she had better discard him; if she has no lover, some
+black-hearted fellow will try to make her acquaintance. 45.
+
+WOODCHUCK. To dream of catching one of these animals, is a sign that
+you will be robbed, and that the thief will be detected: if you imagine
+you kill the woodchuck, you will probably recover your stolen property.
+36, 19.
+
+WOODS. (_See Grove and Picnic._)
+
+WORK. (_See Harvest._) To dream that you were working hard, and are
+very tired, is a sign of sickness: if you imagine that you see men at
+work, it foretells a successful business. 77.
+
+WORMS. (_See Grub._) To dream of fish-worms, such as are dug in
+the garden, is a sign of health and good fortune; dreaming of any
+destructive worms foretells sickness and losses: if you dream that
+worms spin down from a tree and light upon you, it denotes difficulties
+and bad luck. 65, 4, 70.
+
+WOUND. To dream that you are wounded by being stabbed or shot by an
+enemy, foretells losses and poverty; if the wounds are accidental, it
+still denotes losses, though your general fortune may not be affected.
+13, 42.
+
+WREN. To dream that one of these musical little birds makes her nest
+anywhere on your premises, is a sign of joy and riches; a girl who
+dreams this will make a happy match, though perhaps not a rich one, as
+the riches only come to the family that lives in the house. 1, 73.
+
+WRINKLES. If a lady dreams that her face has become wrinkled, it is a
+sign that some one is, or has been, praising her good looks; an old
+bachelor who dreams this, “had better believe” that some young lady is
+in love with him, for there is no accounting for taste. 66, 4.
+
+WRIST. If a girl dreams that her wrist is large or mis-shapen, it
+foretells that she will come to poverty after marriage; if she imagines
+that there is a tumor or swelling, or even a wart on it, it is a sign
+that she will be dependent on some one for her bread, and that person
+may or may not be her husband. 7, 57, 19.
+
+WRITING. (_See Pen and Accounts._) To dream of writing a letter,
+foretells that absent friends are about to visit you: if a girl dreams
+of writing a love-letter, it is a sign that her lover will soon return
+and clasp her in his arms, if she allows any such familiarities. To
+dream you make a blot while writing, is a sign of sickness. 14.
+
+YACHT. To dream you see a yacht under full sail, while you are on
+shore, is a sign you will soon fall in love with a pretty maid, or
+widow. To dream you are sailing in a yacht with a pleasant breeze, is a
+good omen, and denotes success in business, and to lovers, happiness.
+Dreams of sailing on smooth water are good to all persons, but to dream
+the weather is stormy, predicts quarrels and strife. (_See Ship and
+Boat._) 71, 29.
+
+YELLOW. To dream of having any yellow article presented to you, is
+a sign you will get gold: if a girl dreams that her lover gives her
+yellow flowers, it foretells that she will marry rich. 60, 41.
+
+YOKE. To dream of seeing sleek and healthy cattle yoked together and
+acting in harmony, is a sign of a happy marriage: if a girl dreams
+this, she will be apt to put her own neck in Hymen’s yoke before a
+great while. To imagine you see yoked cattle wrangling, and trying to
+get their necks out of the yoke, foretells matrimonial troubles, though
+it still denotes wedlock to the unmarried. 6, 11.
+
+YOUNG. If an old or middle aged person dreams that they are young, it
+foretells their death: for a young person to dream that he or she is a
+child, the omen is similar; but to dream _of youths_, is a sign that
+you will live to a great age. 69, 4.
+
+ZEBRA. To dream of seeing a zebra, is a sign of a quarrel: if you
+imagine that somebody presented you with one of these animals, or that
+you have purchased it, it foretells, to a young man, that he will marry
+a rich but quarrelsome wife, and that she will be constantly annoying
+him by bragging of her property. 39, 70, 32.
+
+ZOUAVE. (_See Parade._) To dream you see Zouaves, as well as other
+soldiers and armed men, denotes, that you will have quarrels and
+trouble in your family, if you have one, and if you have not, among
+your relatives: to the single man, this dream foreshadows that his
+sweetheart loves another better than himself; and to the maiden it
+signifies her lover will try and seduce her. 58, 1, 77.

+
+HOW TO FIND LUCKY NUMBERS WITH DICE.
+
+
+This plan of ascertaining lucky numbers has always been exceedingly
+popular with those persons who try their fortune at the lottery. The
+manner of calculating a lucky number is as follows: Take two dice,
+and after shaking them well in a box, throw them out, being careful
+to note the whole number of spots on the uppermost sides of the dice,
+then repeat this operation and again mark down the number of spots
+as before. Having done this, you then consult the annexed table and
+find the number of your first throw, then follow the line down until
+you arrive at the number corresponding with your second throw on the
+opposite side of the table. For example, we will suppose you throw the
+first time, and the number of spots is equal to 4. You must then look
+at the top of the line and find the Roman numeral IV. You throw the
+second time and get 7 spots; this you will find on the outside column,
+at the left hand, marked VII. Then all you have to do is to place your
+finger on the IV. at the top of the table and follow the line down
+until you arrive at VII. on the opposite side of the table, thus you
+will find the number 43, which is the lucky number. Should you come to
+a cypher (0) you must throw again. By following these simple directions
+you can get as many good numbers as you wish to play.

+
+ THE SHIFT CHARM.
+
+
+On going to bed, take off your under garment and turn it wrong side
+outwards; hang it on the back of a chair, having first placed the chair
+facing and in front of the bed. While doing this, repeat the following
+lines:
+
+ Husband approach! and without fear
+ Sit on this chair, and thus be near
+ The girl your heart doth hold most dear
+ And if thy love is all sincere,
+ To her, this night appear! appear!
+
+You must then get into bed backwards, and sleep in your night-gown
+without any shift. You will probably dream of seeing an agreeable young
+man, in which case your marriage within that year is certain. If you do
+not dream of a man, you will never marry. You should be alone in trying
+this charm, for if you speak to any one, or any one in the room speaks,
+it breaks it at once.
+
+
+
+
+ FORTUNE-TELLING WITH A PACK OF EUCHRE CARDS.
+
+
+Take a pack of thirty two cards, such as is used for the game of
+Euchre. Each one of these cards has its own _particular_ signification.
+But when taken in connection with other cards its signification is
+termed _conditional_.
+
+
+ PARTICULAR SIGNIFICATION OF THE CARDS.
+
+ ♠ (SPADES.)
+
+ACE: Disagreeable tidings—perhaps news of a death.
+
+SEVEN: Dangerous illness, or something very unpleasant.
+
+EIGHT: Sorrow, vexation.
+
+NINE: Quarrels, law-suits, high words, blows.
+
+TEN: Non-fulfilment of a wish—disappointment of a cherished hope,
+unforeseen accidents.
+
+ ♣ (CLUBS.)
+
+ACE: A present, a testimonial of honor and distinction.
+
+SEVEN: An inheritance, gain, profit.
+
+EIGHT: Prosperity, wealth, success in business.
+
+NINE: Proposals of marriage.
+
+TEN: Good fortune in games of chance, in lottery speculations, finding
+a treasure.
+
+ ♦ (DIAMONDS.)
+
+ACE: A letter, news—whether good or bad is determined by the nearest
+cards.
+
+SEVEN: Travels, a campaign.
+
+EIGHT: A ball, company.
+
+NINE: Illness—if a knave lies on the right side, you will soon stand
+godfather.
+
+TEN: A joyful meeting—a long lost friend returned. Of the picture cards
+we will speak hereafter.
+
+ ♥ (HEARTS.)
+
+ACE: Quiet domestic life—tranquillity.
+
+SEVEN: Falling in Love—Love.
+
+EIGHT: A Surprise.
+
+NINE: Betrothal.
+
+TEN: A Wedding.
+
+In explaining the cards, my dear readers, to any one, shuffle the pack
+three times, and let the person who wishes to know his fortune cut it
+three times in succession. Then take up the cards, and let the person
+in question draw one. This drawn card you place first upon the table.
+Then spread out the pack in four rows, each containing eight cards.
+(_See Engraving._)
+
+The first card is of the highest significance. In the first place it
+indicates the character of the person inquiring, and according to the
+following rule:
+
+ ♠ Choleric, passionate, violent.
+
+ ♣ Sanguine, cheerful, mirthful, witty.
+
+ ♦ Phlegmatic, practical, unexcitable.
+
+ ♥ Melancholic, sentimental, poetical, talented.
+
+As, however, the human character is never without more than one of
+the above named characteristics, the first card signifies the most
+prominent one, and the cards which lie on the right side and below it
+are reckoned with it, by which the meaning of the first card is either
+modified or corroborated.
+
+If the person in question is a lady, and she has, for example, drawn
+a club, the queen of clubs is herself, the knave of clubs is her
+intended, the king her father, or uncle, as the case may be. The
+picture cards of the other black suit are her friends and relations.
+It is the same if she has drawn hearts or diamonds, only that in this
+case the picture cards of the other red suit signify her friends and
+relations. If the person inquiring is a gentleman, it is the same,
+except that he is the knave of the suit which he has drawn, and his
+intended the queen.
+
+From this first card, also, you form a judgment of one’s whole future
+course in life. If its signification is joyful, the person’s life will
+be a happy one. If, for example, it is the ace of hearts, it indicates
+that the person will never be without a home, a dear and pleasant home
+to him; if it is the ace of clubs, he will pass through life enjoying
+honor and fame; if it is the ten of hearts with a female figure on
+either side, it signifies two wives; if with a male figure on either
+side, and the person inquiring is a female, two husbands.
+
+[Illustration: EXAMPLE OF FORTUNE-TELLING WITH AN EUCHRE PACK OF CARDS.]
+
+Thus much as to general rules. We will now instruct the reader how to
+explain the cards in detail. We will suppose that it is a lady who
+inquires of the cards, and endeavor, by means of an example, to give an
+accurate explanation of the method to be pursued. Spread out the cards
+before you, and observe carefully the different cards while you read
+the fortune I shall predict from them. (_See Engraving, page 96._)
+
+ACE OF HEARTS.—The young lady’s character, it seems, is sentimental,
+melancholic, poetical, which three qualities are found more or
+less together. If the next card were a heart, it would indicate a
+temperament inclined to love. As, however, the adjacent cards are clubs
+and spades, of which two indeed are clubs, we conclude that the lady
+often displays a cheerful, sanguine disposition, yet can, at times, be
+very passionate. The main feature of her character, however, is the
+melancholic.
+
+We will now look around for the lady herself—she is found to be the
+seventh card on the last row. Her lover, on the other hand, is the
+eighth card in the second row. As he precedes her, this signifies
+that she is already acquainted with him, and they seem already to
+love one another, as a love card lies at his side, and also one at
+hers; no card, however, lies between them to connect them, except the
+queen of diamonds. This, however, is not altogether favorable, for a
+queen between a loving pair signifies a rival (for a gentleman, the
+knave signifies the same), and can as well indicate a separation as a
+union, notwithstanding its similarity of color. The general rule is
+as follows:—If the card which connects the queen and knave is of the
+same color with them, it indicates a future union between the persons.
+(Hearts and diamonds form one color, as do clubs and spades.)
+
+One thing more: from the cards which lie next to the knave, we are
+enabled to judge of the character and occupation of the lady’s
+intended. In the present case, the cards next to the knave of hearts
+are two spades, two diamonds, and one heart; his character, therefore,
+according to the rules already given, is choleric, yet at times
+melancholic and sentimental. In his daily conduct he is practical and
+considerate.
+
+As to his occupation, the different colors have the following
+signification:
+
+ ♠ A student, probably a clergyman.
+
+ ♣ A lawyer—jurist.
+
+ ♦ A mechanic, merchant, or a person who has chosen for
+himself some practical career.
+
+ ♥ A capitalist, a genius who devotes himself to some
+favorite pursuit, also a military man.
+
+The card at the right hand is commonly the decisive one, but as, in the
+present case, there is no right hand card, the one at the left takes
+its place; according to this, the lady’s intended is a capitalist, a
+genius, or a military man.
+
+We now proceed to tell the lady’s fortune in its particulars.
+
+We commence from the ace of hearts, thus: a considerable windfall will
+happen in your family, young lady. Either you or your parents will draw
+a prize in the lottery, or heaven will drop some other nice morsel into
+your mouth (ten of clubs).
+
+This will give occasion to a journey, which you will take with an
+acquaintance (king of spades and seven of diamonds). This journey will
+be very agreeable to you, and especially will you enjoy yourself at
+a ball, to which you will be invited by a friend of your travelling
+companion (knave of clubs and eight of diamonds). You will then dance
+a cotillion with a relative of your intended, perhaps with your own
+brother-in-law that is to be (knave of diamonds).
+
+When you return home, you will find a letter, at the sight of which you
+will be disturbed, the hand-writing being that of a person unfriendly
+to you (queen of spades, ace of spades). You open it, and behold it
+is a proposal of marriage (nine of clubs), and from a relative of the
+gentleman who invited you to the ball (king of clubs), which touches
+the (nine of clubs).
+
+As, however, you promise yourself nothing but vexation (eight of
+spades) from this marriage, you refuse him (ten of spades), and it will
+soon appear that a better fortune lies before you (eight of clubs).
+Soon after, a wedding takes place (ten of hearts), namely, that of
+your sister or friend (queen of diamonds), who, therefore, does not
+stand between you and your intended to separate you, but to unite you.
+The bridegroom is the gentleman who was your partner in the cotillion
+at that ball (knave of diamonds). At this wedding you will among
+others see your intended (knave of hearts), with whom you are already
+acquainted. You will also meet there a gentleman, who, when you last
+saw him, was dangerously ill (seven of spades, knave of spades, and ten
+of diamonds). Your intended seizes the opportunity to offer himself to
+you, and you become betrothed to him (nine of hearts). You will receive
+a present from a relative or friend, perhaps from your brother (ace of
+clubs, and king of diamonds).
+
+Something now occurs to separate you from your betrothed (nine of
+spades). It almost seems as if you were jealous of a lady whom he
+formerly loved (queen of clubs, seven of hearts). A very tender letter
+which he writes to you, from a bed of sickness upon which his grief has
+prostrated him (ace of diamonds, nine of diamonds), soon reconciles
+you again, and as not long after something occurs which places him
+in a position to support a wife in comfort (seven of clubs), the
+happy marriage is celebrated. Dear relatives (king of hearts, king of
+diamonds, and queen of diamonds) prepare for you joyful surprises,
+which combine to render this day an infinitely happy one.
+
+One thing more: if the ten of hearts is the last card in the last row,
+the person in question will never marry; otherwise, each row counts a
+year. You first count the rows until you come to the nine of hearts
+(the betrothal), you then begin again and count to the ten of hearts
+(the wedding), that is, in case the nine comes after the ten. If the
+nine comes before the ten, you continue to count without recommencing.
+
+The young lady in question will therefore be betrothed in from two to
+three years, and will be married in about two years after, for the nine
+of hearts lies in the third row, and the ten in the second row. She has
+then almost five years to enjoy her single life before she becomes a
+wife.
+
+
+ TO FIND OUT WHOM ONE IS TO HAVE FOR A HUSBAND.
+
+You select the four kings from a pack, and lay them side by side in a
+row upon the table.
+
+The lady who wishes to know her fortune gives to each of these cards
+the name of some gentleman of her acquaintance who might be likely to
+woo her in marriage. It is usual to pronounce these names aloud before
+the company. The name given to the king of hearts is, however, an
+exception. This secret the lady keeps to herself. To these four kings,
+you can also add a queen, which then denotes the old maid.
+
+Now, take the rest of the pack, shuffle it thoroughly, let the person
+in question cut three times and commence. Under each of the above
+named picture cards you lay a card in turn, and as often as a spade is
+placed under a spade, a heart under a heart, &c., that is, as often as
+a card of the same suit is placed under one of these picture cards, the
+picture card is turned from its position.
+
+The first time it takes a direction from left to right, the second time
+it lies upside down, the third time it is raised again to a position
+from right to left, and the fourth and last time it regains its former
+upright position.
+
+That one of the four kings, who, after these different changes, first
+resumes his upright position, is to be the happy husband. If it should
+happen to be the old maid, you can imagine what is in store for you.
+
+After having learned from the cards who is to be the husband, the
+questions next asked are, usually: How much will he love his wife,
+why he marries her, and what is his profession. These questions are
+answered in the following manner:
+
+Gather up the cards, shuffle them thoroughly, and let the person cut
+them three times. Then tell off the cards upon the table, as you recite
+the following sentence:
+
+ Heartily, painfully,
+ Beyond all measure,
+ By fits and starts,
+ Not a bit in the world.
+
+You repeat this sentence until the king of hearts makes his appearance.
+If it happens that, as you lay this upon the table, you pronounce the
+word “heartily,” he will love his future wife heartily, and so on.
+
+Now, as to why he marries her. Count off the cards upon the table,
+while you repeat the following sentence:
+
+ For love, for her beauty,
+ For his parents’ command,
+ For her bright, golden dollars,
+ For counsel of friends.
+
+The sentence by which you discover what is his profession is the
+following:
+
+ Gentleman, alderman, clergyman, doctor,
+ Merchant, broker, professor, major,
+ Mechanic, lawyer, shipmaster, tailor.
+
+This method of telling fortunes is very entertaining in society, when
+you have not the book to find more particular answers.
+
+
+ A METHOD BY WHICH TO DISCOVER IF YOUR WISH WILL BE FULFILLED.
+
+Take a pack of cards, shuffle it, and let the person inquiring cut
+three times; then place singly five cards upon the table, and upon each
+of these cards another, taken from the top, and so on, until the pack
+is exhausted, and the cards are divided into five nearly equal heaps.
+
+The person in question now selects a suit, spades or clubs, &c.—or a
+card may previously be drawn to determine the suit.
+
+Suppose diamonds is the chosen suit: you take up the first heap, and
+throw away all the cards until you come to a matadore of diamonds.
+(The matadores are the ace, king, queen, knave and ten.) You do the
+same with the other heaps. If any one of the heaps does not contain a
+matadore, you cast it entirely aside.
+
+The heaps which are left you now place one upon another in order,
+beginning at the left hand, and, without shuffling them, you lay them
+in five heaps, and proceed as before. This time there are, of course,
+fewer cards, beside matadores, than before. After having cast aside the
+cards which you meet with before finding a matadore, you take up the
+heaps, and, without shuffling them, lay them in five heaps, for the
+third time. This third and last time, you must, if your wish is to be
+fulfilled, be able to discard all the cards except the matadores. If
+any other cards are left in the heaps, your wish will not be granted.
+
+
+
+
+ TELLING FORTUNES BY DOMINOES AND DICE.
+
+
+The telling of fortunes by the spots on Dominoes and Dice is a very
+ancient custom, and has always been practised by the most celebrated
+astrologers and fortune-tellers. The calculations have all to be made
+by drawing a horoscope from each domino and the spots on each side of a
+die; therefore the process is exceedingly tedious. We have given in the
+following pages the results of three years’ experimental labor on this
+subject; not constant labor, for there are but a few hours in each
+year when the stars are in the right position to draw the horoscope of
+any particular domino. A good many of the signs predicted here have
+been proved to be correct within the personal knowledge of the writer,
+and he doubts not they will all be found to be accurate.
+
+
+ METHOD OF TELLING FORTUNES WITH DOMINOES.
+
+[Illustration: Dominoes placed in a circle]
+
+Shuffle the dominoes well on a smooth table, with their faces downward,
+then draw one and see what it signifies according to the description
+given below.
+
+It is useless for any person to draw more than three dominoes at one
+time of trial, or in one and the same month, as they will only deceive
+themselves. Shuffle the dominoes each time of choosing; to draw the
+same domino twice makes the answer stronger.
+
+Be very particular and do not attempt to tell your fortune by dominoes
+on _Friday_ or _Monday_.
+
+
+ SIGNIFICATION OF THE DOMINOES.
+
+DOUBLE-SIX. Denotes much riches by speculation, and a happy and
+prolific marriage. It is not good to farmers as far as relates to crops
+and success in their calling, but it foretells that their lands will
+rise in value, and that they can make money by selling out. If a girl
+turns this domino to learn her fate in matrimonial matters, it is a
+sign she will marry rich, and have a large family of children.
+
+SIX-FIVE. If you are in search of employment, this domino shows
+that you will succeed by proper perseverance. If in love, do not be
+discouraged by any rebuffs, for success awaits you. If you have planted
+a crop, or about to plant one, it will yield nobly. In money matters
+exclusively, you may not be fortunate, as the domino is not lucky for
+money. If your wife is about to give birth to a child, and you try your
+fortune with special reference to such birth, this domino foretells its
+early death. If you are about to buy real estate, you will be lucky in
+the purchase—if to buy silverware, jewelry, or a watch, you will get
+cheated. If you expect a legacy, you will probably be lucky and get it.
+
+SIX-FOUR. This domino denotes early marriage and much happiness; the
+sexes of the children will be about equally divided, and they will
+live, but will leave home early—the girls to marry, and the boys to do
+for themselves. It denotes neither poverty nor riches.
+
+SIX-THREE. This domino denotes constancy and affection. It is an
+excellent domino for lovers, who will marry early, and enjoy much
+happiness. It is also a sign of riches and honors; and no troubles of
+any account will mar your fortune. There is some danger, however, that
+you will die at middle age, but if you survive that period you will
+live to a good old age.
+
+SIX-TWO. Is an excellent domino for lovers, as it foretells a happy
+marriage. A gentleman turning this domino, will get an orderly and
+economical wife, and a lady will have equal good fortune in a thrifty
+and industrious husband. Those who turn this domino for luck in
+business matters, will realize all and more than they expect. To
+dishonest and selfish people, however, the domino is fatal. If it is
+turned to determine the result of any scheme that is not fair and
+above-board, it foretells ill-success and exposure. To a married
+lady who expects to present her husband with an heir, it presents a
+beautiful and healthy child, and one who will excel as a mathematician,
+and (if a boy) will probably become distinguished.
+
+SIX-ONE. This domino foretells to young people that they will marry
+twice, and the second marriage will be the happiest of the two. To
+married people it is a sign they will be better off in middle age than
+when young, and that one child will be faithful and remain with them,
+while the others will seek their fortunes away from home.
+
+SIX-BLANK. If you turn this domino you will hear of the death of an
+esteemed friend, or an acquaintance—will experience the loss of a
+relative or member of your family—or some one will die in whom you are
+interested. To a farmer, or the owner of horses or other animals, it
+may denote the loss of some of the animals rather than human beings;
+but it foretells death in some shape, and may even mean to warn you of
+your own decease.
+
+DOUBLE-FIVE. Is a decidedly lucky domino in everything you undertake.
+It foretells success in all enterprises, but does not assure you that
+you will become rich.
+
+FIVE-FOUR. This domino shows to a lady that she will probably marry a
+poor man, have a large family of children, and then become a widow. He
+may be pretty well off, to appearance, when she marries him, but if it
+be so, she will find that he has debts and expensive habits that will
+bring him to poverty and the grave. It is not a good domino for money
+matters, for if you have lost money, or if people owe you, the turning
+of this domino shows that you will not be apt to get the cash. To a
+farmer it is a sign of good crops; but it is also a sign that something
+unfortunate will occur in connection with the farm—such as cattle lost
+or injured, or property of some kind destroyed.
+
+FIVE-THREE. Denotes ample means, without any other peculiarity of
+fortune. If you turn this domino you may calculate you will never be
+poor, and may become quite wealthy. But to one already wealthy, it
+shows that though he may not become poor, he will never be any better
+off than he then is, and perhaps not so well off. To young people
+the domino denotes comfortable circumstances after marriage, but not
+over-zealous love. It shows no positive bad luck in love matters, at
+the same time that it does not assure you of devoted attachment of your
+proposed partner for life, of either sex. On the whole, it is a pretty
+fair domino for any one to turn.
+
+FIVE-TWO. If you are in love, you will probably be unfortunate; for
+though you may get the person you want, and an apparently happy
+marriage may follow, it will prove an unhappy one in the end.
+Nevertheless, your happiness may continue for some time after marriage.
+To a gentleman this domino foretells a thrifty and industrious wife,
+though one with an unhappy temper or disposition. To a single lady it
+denotes thrift and independence as long as she remains single. If a man
+is engaged in a speculation, or is about starting any new enterprise,
+he will not be likely to succeed. If you are a candidate for office,
+you will be defeated. On the whole, this is not a lucky domino for
+gentlemen, though for ladies it is a pretty fair one.
+
+FIVE-ONE. Is a jolly domino for persons fond of excitement. It predicts
+that you will receive an invitation to a dinner, or social gathering,
+or to some place where you will enjoy yourself. If a married lady turns
+this domino it is a sign she will present her husband with a triple
+addition to his family—all boys. To a young lady it predicts a beau,
+who will not be rich or refined, but rather a rough customer, and she
+will discard him and marry another. If you expect to earn or to receive
+money, this domino is one of disappointment.
+
+FIVE-BLANK. If a man turns it, he will be either a gambler or a rich
+rogue, if he has brains enough, and if his intellect is not sufficient,
+he will probably be a small swindler, or the favored lover of a lewd
+woman, or both. Although these will be his characteristics, yet
+circumstances may place him in a different position; but he will always
+be mercenary, selfish, impudent, and without pride of character. To a
+girl this domino foretells an unhappy marriage, and misfortune by that
+means; but if she remains single, and keeps clear of lovers, she will
+avoid the ill omen.
+
+DOUBLE-FOUR. Is a good and smooth domino for lovers, for farmers, and
+for laboring people of all kinds. On the contrary, lawyers, doctors,
+or professional men who turn it, will probably have a spell of hard
+times to encounter. To little girls and boys it predicts that they
+will soon be invited to a party, and have much pleasure. If any one is
+about to give a party, and turns this domino, he or she may count on a
+first-rate time, for everything will go on well, and the party will be
+a decided success. It likewise predicts that a wedding will come off
+very soon.
+
+FOUR-THREE. Those who turn this domino will marry young, live happily,
+and will not probably have more than one child that will live. It
+denotes neither poverty nor riches. To a couple who are childless, it
+is a sign of a second marriage. If a married person who has children
+turns this domino, it is a sign that the family will be reduced by
+death or long absence.
+
+FOUR-TWO. Foretells a change in your circumstances, condition, family,
+relations, or your ideas. It is not known what the change will be,
+but that there will really be a change, fate has ordained. It may be
+nothing at all serious, or it may be something that will affect your
+whole life. For instance, a young person who turns this domino may get
+married—that will be an important change, but whether the marriage will
+be a happy one, is not known. A married person may lose their partner—a
+man may fail in business, or may become pious and join the church—a
+family may break up housekeeping and take board, or may lose a favorite
+child. Indeed, a thousand little incidents may occur in life which will
+cause a change in your usual routine. To farmers and persons who work
+hard for a living, the change will probably be a favorable or happy
+one. To rich and lazy people it will be an unfortunate one. To any
+other than these two classes it is uncertain what the nature of it will
+be. If you have offended your lover, or any particular friend, this
+domino shows that you will soon make up and become stronger friends
+than ever. It is a lucky domino for farmers in business matters,
+although it does not point out any particular good fortune that awaits
+them.
+
+FOUR-ONE. Those who turn this domino will marry happily, and no
+uncommon event will mar their nuptials: the omen connected with it
+usually points to childless couples who are well off; and I find
+that where children are born, the parties will lose their wealth and
+position in proportion to the number of their offspring, which will
+never exceed four. In most cases there will be no children, but ample
+means.
+
+FOUR-BLANK. Is an unfortunate domino for lovers, as it foretells
+quarrels and separations, old maids and old bachelors. A girl who has
+a lover, and turns this domino to find out his peculiarities, had
+better look somewhere else at once, for she will certainly either lose
+or discard him. It is the same with a gentleman—he will never marry
+the girl he then expects to, and may be jilted. To married people the
+domino gives a prolific promise. A married lady who turns it will
+probably have twins or triplets at her next maternity. If you think
+to entrust a secret to a friend, this domino denotes that it will not
+be kept. It also foretells that your future husband or wife will be a
+very credulous person—perhaps a believer in Spiritualism or some other
+absurd doctrine.
+
+DOUBLE-THREE. Denotes immense riches, but has no allusion to matrimony.
+It is an excellent domino for any one to turn, as it points to money
+in abundance, and does not intimate any unhappiness: therefore, the
+person who turns it will get plenty of cash, and be happy or not, as
+fate may ordain.
+
+THREE-TWO. Is a fortunate domino in the following cases: marriage,
+love-making, recovering stolen property, going on a journey, entering
+into a speculation, planting a crop, collecting a debt, or making a
+purchase. This domino shows also that you may be lucky in collecting
+some old claim or debt that you had given up as lost. It is bad for
+gamblers, for a woman about to give birth to a child, and for peddlers.
+
+THREE-ONE. A young girl who turns this domino will be in danger of
+losing her chastity; therefore let her be careful. A married woman
+turning it will have an outside admirer who will flatter her with a
+view to an improper intimacy. To a man it foretells the loss of money
+through his illicit intercourse with the opposite sex. It is not a
+favorable domino to any one.
+
+THREE-BLANK. This domino denotes that your sweetheart is artful and
+deceitful. If you get married, your wife will be either shrewish, or
+vain and unprincipled, and perhaps run away and disgrace you. To a girl
+it foretells a putty-head of a husband—one who is easily influenced,
+and whom she can wind round her finger. If you turn this domino, it
+is a sign you will soon be invited to a party and there make a new
+acquaintance, with whom you will afterwards have a quarrel. If a
+married man or woman turns it, it predicts a family quarrel.
+
+DOUBLE-TWO. The turning of this domino denotes success in love matters
+and much happiness in the married state, together with good children
+who will live and be prosperous. It also denotes success in any
+undertaking, and thrift, though not great riches.
+
+TWO-ONE. The turning of this domino denotes to a lady that she will
+marry young, and that her husband will die, leaving her a large
+property, and childless. For a long time she will be a gay, rich widow,
+but will be caught at last, and marry happily. To a young man it
+denotes a life of luxury; he will never marry, but will be a favorite
+of the ladies, and have several mistresses. It is not a good domino for
+business men, as it foretells losses by failures.
+
+TWO-BLANK. The turning of this domino denotes poverty and bad luck. To
+a marriageable young woman it predicts a poor, dissipated and dishonest
+husband. On the birth of a child—if a boy, it is a sign that he will be
+poor and shiftless, and perhaps dishonest—if a girl, that she will not
+marry well. It is not a bad domino for a girl who lives unmarried, for
+she may do very well alone. It is a domino of good luck to thieves and
+bad people. If they turn it, it is a sign of success in any dishonest
+undertaking. Should you turn this domino in reference to a journey, it
+shows that you will go in safety. It predicts an easy deliverance in
+case you are attacked and should be obliged to defend yourself.
+
+DOUBLE-ACE. Denotes affectionate constancy and happiness in the
+marriage state. It is an excellent domino to turn, both for lovers and
+married people, as besides the above it indicates a competency of this
+world’s goods.
+
+DOUBLE-BLANK. To turn this domino is the worst sign in the whole set,
+and is only favorable to misers, usurers, gamblers, and unprincipled
+cheats and seducers. To any heartless, selfish person, the turning of
+this domino foretells good luck—to all others disappointment. We hope
+that no young girl turning a domino to ascertain her fortune as to
+marriage will turn this one, for it surely foretells disappointment and
+sorrow. If she has a lover, and should he marry her, he will desert
+her afterwards. In business matters, too, it is decidedly unfavorable,
+and is a sign that your business will decrease. If you are wanting a
+situation, you will not be likely to get it, and if anything is lost
+or stolen, it will not probably be recovered again. It is generally
+a pretty bad domino for decent people—but a good one for all the
+dishonest ones, who, if they have got anything by trickery and fraud,
+will be apt to enjoy it.
+
+
+ METHOD OF TELLING FORTUNES WITH DICE.
+
+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 have previously
+drawn a circle with chalk; count the number of spots on the uppermost
+sides of the dice, and look at the signification of the numbers, as
+given below. Be careful and do not attempt to tell your fortune on
+Mondays or Wednesdays, as they are unlucky days for dice. To throw the
+same number twice at one trial, shows news from abroad, be the numbers
+what they may. If the dice roll over the circle, the number thrown goes
+for nothing, but the occurrence shows sharp words, and if they fall to
+the floor, it is blows; in throwing out the dice, if one remains on top
+of the other, it is a present of which I leave the ladies to take care.
+
+
+ SIGNIFICATION OF THE SPOTS ON DICE.
+
+THREE. If a young girl throws this number, (three aces,) it foretells
+that she will have numerous lovers, and if she marries will have a good
+crop of children, and then become a widow. To a young man it denotes
+that he will never marry, but will be a great favorite of the ladies,
+and probably a gay seducer. If a married person throws it, he or she
+will become a widower or widow, as the case may be.
+
+FOUR. To throw this number denotes frivolity in love matters. Unmarried
+persons who throw it will have many lovers or sweethearts, and will not
+be fully satisfied with either. It foretells to a married woman that
+her husband admires the sex generally quite as much as he does her; but
+it also denotes that she will have many children, and that both herself
+and husband will live to raise them.
+
+FIVE. To throw this number of spots of the dice, foretells good luck
+in a land speculation to any one who is about buying lands. It is a
+very good number for farmers, prognosticating a fortunate season to
+come. To lovers it shows that some obstacle will present itself to
+their marriage, or else that they will quarrel. In a family it is a
+sign that some person will soon visit there that is not welcome. If you
+are about to go a journey, and throw this number, you will meet some
+one who will bother you, or that you dislike, or else some disagreeable
+accident will happen; but the accident will not be serious.
+
+SIX. If a girl throws this number, (three deuces,) it denotes that she
+will be of gay disposition and have many lovers, but will never marry;
+if she escapes illicit connections, she will be fortunate, and probably
+get some money by will. To a young man it denotes that he will marry
+a gay wife, who will be of loose principles; and also that he himself
+will keep a mistress, and perhaps become a gambler. He will not be poor
+as long as he is young and attractive, but he will either die young or
+become poor in middle age. To gamblers, the throwing of this number is
+a sign of success in winning money.
+
+SEVEN. If a man throws this number it foretells that he will never
+marry, but will be lucky in business speculations. A young lady who
+throws it will be apt to marry a wealthy husband, though he may not
+be an agreeable companion. To farmers and mechanics it is not a
+particularly bad number, though it does not promise them much success,
+and it foretells that they will have pretty hard work to keep even with
+the world.
+
+EIGHT. This is the miser’s throw; those who throw it will probably
+be well off, though not rich. It foretells a miserly or stingy
+disposition, and a character too close in money matters to be very
+prosperous. If a girl throw this to test the character of her lover,
+she may be assured that he will not be poor, though it is possible he
+may lead her an unhappy life from his selfish and penurious habits.
+
+NINE. If you throw this number with the dice with reference to your
+future husband or wife, be assured that you will be lucky in your
+choice. It foretells an orderly, energetic and industrious person. I
+should not want a better wife than this number predicts. To a young
+girl it does not promise riches with a husband, but it foretells thrift
+and plenty, and that she may be rich, too. It is a fair business throw
+also—foretelling pretty good luck in everything except games of chance,
+and predicting bad luck in such games.
+
+TEN. If a young girl throws this number, she will not marry very soon,
+and perhaps not at all; but she will have good luck in other matters,
+and rise above her present position in society. If a man throws it, he
+will get a rich wife. It is a favorable number to the male sex in love
+matters. A married woman who throws it will rise in the world, or have
+a legacy left to her.
+
+ELEVEN. This throw foretells extravagance and fondness of show and
+display. Those who throw it, or for whose fortune it may be thrown,
+will probably have the command of means, but all will be spent in
+gimcracks, parties of pleasure, and in adorning the person; and though
+they may not come to poverty, they will leave nothing but debt to
+their heirs. To laboring people it denotes that they will be always in
+debt, and live above their means.
+
+TWELVE. Shows that an event of some kind is soon to occur in your
+affairs, either for good or evil. To a farmer or a laboring man it
+will probably be fortunate, but it may be otherwise. To a banker, a
+money-dealer, or a jeweler, it is generally a bad omen—to other trades,
+uncertain. It has no special reference to love matters.
+
+THIRTEEN. I hope no virtuous young girl will ever be so unfortunate as
+to throw this number, unless she be possessed of a resolution as firm
+as a rock, for it foretells that she will be sorely tempted to become
+profligate. It is emphatically the throw of an unchaste female. If a
+man throws this number, it is a sign that he will never marry, but will
+associate with harlots, or live with a woman who is not his wife; if he
+throws it with a view to discover the character of his lady-love, he
+may guess the result.
+
+FOURTEEN. This is the gambler’s throw, and denotes dishonesty and an
+unprincipled disposition in men, and misfortune in women. If a man
+throws it, he will be either a gambler or a rich rogue, if he has
+brains enough, and if his intellect is not sufficient, he will probably
+be a small swindler, or the favored lover of a lewd woman, or both.
+Although these will be his characteristics, yet circumstances may place
+him in a different position, but he will always be mercenary, selfish,
+impudent, and without pride of character. To a girl this number
+foretells an unhappy marriage, and misfortune by that means; but if she
+remains single, and keeps clear of lovers, she will avoid the ill omen.
+
+FIFTEEN. If you are a speculating character—a buyer of lottery tickets
+or lottery policies, or are engaged in any games of chance, such as
+gambling, horse-racing, shooting at a mark, betting, or in fact any
+scheme that you expect to win money by, this number foretells bad luck
+and discomfiture. If you try to test your luck in any such matters, and
+this number turns up, you may be sure you will lose, and had better
+give up at once. If you want to buy land, you will be apt to get a good
+bargain and be fortunate. This number foretells good luck to a farmer
+putting in his crops, and the same to a girl choosing a husband; for
+though she may not get a rich man, yet he will be industrious, thrifty,
+comfortable, and good-hearted. To consumptive people this throw is not
+a favorable one, as in many cases it predicts a short life to them.
+
+SIXTEEN. This is an unlucky number to a merchant, a banker, or a
+mechanic. It foretells bad luck of some kind, though it is generally
+a forerunner of a brisk and profitable business. An excellent run of
+business may come first, and the bad luck afterwards, or _vice versa_,
+but the misfortune is sure to come in somewhere. To a farmer this throw
+foretells abundant crops, and to a gold-digger good luck and plenty
+of the precious metal. A young girl who throws it will get a thrifty
+husband, and have a numerous family.
+
+SEVENTEEN. If you are a girl, and think of getting married, you will
+be apt to lose your lover unless he is a farmer, a gardener, a
+well-digger, a gold-miner, a brewer, a coal-heaver, a grave-digger,
+or some occupation that makes him use a shovel a good deal. If you
+think of marrying any such man, this throw is a good one. For a man
+of any other occupation, it foretells disappointment. To a young man,
+this number shows that by perseverance and industry he will do well in
+the world—that his luck will be good if he only tries his best to get
+along. If you have had anything stolen from you, or have lost valuable
+property while walking or riding, this throw is unfavorable; you will
+probably never recover what you have lost.
+
+EIGHTEEN. People who throw this number may congratulate themselves,
+as it foretells riches, honors, and a happy and contented life. It
+predicts unexceptionable prosperity in all kinds of business, good luck
+in love matters, and advancement to those who are honorably ambitious.
+To rogues and dishonest people it is an omen of discomfiture, detection
+and punishment.
+
+
+
+
+ PALMISTRY,
+
+ OR TELLING FORTUNES BY THE LINES OF THE HAND.
+
+
+Many people think the predictions from lines in the hand are all
+guess-work, but it is a mistake, for they are determined by simple
+rules and long observation. Let us explain the matter:
+
+In the first place each finger has its name.
+
+ (1) Forefinger: Jupiter ♃
+ (2) Middle finger: Saturn ♄
+ (3) Ring finger: The Sun ⨀
+ (4) Little finger: Mercury ☿
+ (5) Thumb: Venus ♀
+
+Each hand has five main lines.
+
+ (1) The Life line: L. Vitalis.
+ (2) The Natural line: L. Naturalis.
+ (3) The Table line: L. Mensalis.
+ (4) The Liver line: L. Hepatica.
+ (5) The Wrist line: L. Rascetta.
+
+(_See Engraving._)
+
+
+ 1. LINEA VITALIS.
+
+If this line is wanting or nearly so, it is by no means a good sign. It
+signifies a feeble understanding, a faint heart, and a short, sickly
+life. This, however, is not the signification in every case; it often
+indicates, especially with the ladies, changeableness of feeling, a
+disposition easily influenced by others, and a proneness to enthusiasm.
+
+[Illustration: Palm of hand showing the principle lines viz.
+ _mensalis_ _naturalis_ _hepatica_ _vitalis_ _rascetta_]
+
+The length of life is in proportion to the length of the line of Life.
+It begins between ♃ and ♀ and it is here that you commence with the
+prophecy.
+
+Each knot in this line denotes an obstacle, or, at least, something
+momentous in life. Each crossing by smaller lines, some unpleasant
+occurrence. The larger the cross, the greater the misfortune.
+
+In most cases one or more lines run from the Natural line to the line
+of Life. This indicates the partner of one’s life. The point where the
+junction takes place denotes the point of time of the marriage. If this
+occurs near the commencement of the line, of course the marriage will
+take place early in life. If two lines unite with the line of Life it
+indicates two husbands (or wives). If no line joins it, the person will
+remain unmarried.
+
+The clearer and more distinct the line of Life, the happier the
+person’s life. When it is fine, deep and sharply defined, it denotes an
+energetic, and at the same time a noble character.
+
+
+ 2. LINEA NATURALIS.
+
+A regular length and good appearance of this line denotes excellent
+digestive organs. Large crosses occurring in its course signify
+imprudence, precipitation.
+
+
+ 3. LINEA MENSALIS.
+
+If it is well defined it indicates an amorous temperament; if
+accompanied by a side line, it signifies good fortune in love and
+wedlock. If it is very broad, happiness in domestic life. If it is
+interrupted it denotes that sad calamity, infidelity.
+
+
+ 4. LINEA HEPATICA.
+
+If it is complete and tolerably long, it promises robust health, a
+clear understanding, and good humor. If it throws out branches near its
+commencement it signifies wit, acuteness, presence of mind, a spirit of
+mischief, perhaps falsehood.
+
+
+ 5. LINEA RASCETTA.
+
+When it is complete and unbroken, it denotes good fortune in all
+matters of importance.
+
+From the ring finger (Solis ⨀) there commonly runs one or more lines
+into the Linea Mensalis. These denote the various inclinations of
+the heart. If but a single line is actually visible, and if this is
+deep and long, the person loves or will love faithfully and warmly.
+If a number of smaller lines are found in its place, the person is
+inconstancy itself, a butterfly roving from flower to flower. Add up
+all these little lines, and the sum will give you the number of times
+the person will fall in love.
+
+
+
+
+ PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOGNOMY.
+
+
+The science of Phrenology teaches how to discover from the formation
+of the skull the qualities of the soul, and to draw conclusions as to
+the character of an individual. The whole head, accordingly, is divided
+into organs. The following are the principal ones, and are all that are
+necessary for the reader’s instruction. To enter more deeply into the
+subject would exceed our limits.
+
+ 1. Memory.
+ 2. Causality.
+ 3. Benevolence.
+ 4. Approbativeness.
+ 5. Painting.
+ 6. Energy.
+ 7. Imagination.
+ 8. Inclination to Melancholy.
+ 9. Mischievousness.
+
+(_See Engraving._)
+
+[Illustration: Head showing location of the above organs.]
+
+According as these organs are more or less elevated and well formed
+that peculiarity of character which they indicate is more or less
+present.
+
+PHYSIOGNOMY, OR THE FEATURES OF THE HEAD AND FACE, teaches us to judge
+of the character of a person and of events connected with his destiny
+from the shape, color and expression of his features. If my fair
+readers would like to know how many husbands they are to have, they
+have only to knit their eyebrows closely together, and count the folds
+of the skin formed by this movement.
+
+If they wish to see how many years they have to live, let them elevate
+their brows as much as possible, and then count the cross folds in the
+forehead. Subtract the number found from one hundred, and the remainder
+is the number of the years which it is allotted you to pass upon this
+earth.
+
+OF THE NOSE. A bold, projecting nose, usually called a Roman nose,
+denotes an enterprising temper. In general a large nose is a good sign.
+A long nose is a sign of good sense, a stumpy one generally indicates
+the contrary. A perfectly straight nose denotes a high and noble
+spirit, unless the expression of the eyes contradicts this judgment,
+and then it denotes great stupidity. A turned up nose signifies a
+spirit of mischief, wit, forwardness, that is, if it is not too
+stumpy. A very small nose indicates good nature, yet at the same time
+a complete want of energy. A red nose denotes a cheerful temper, or an
+inclination to drink, as all the world knows.
+
+OF THE LIPS. Very thick lips indicate either great stupidity or very
+great genius. Very fine thin lips denote falsehood, especially if
+they are usually compressed. Swelling lips, if generally compressed,
+denote great decision of character, a philosophical turn of mind, and
+oftentimes somewhat of obstinacy. A mouth always open says as plain as
+words can speak, “I am a calf.”
+
+OF DIMPLES. Dimples in the cheeks signify roguery. But the dimple in
+the chin the God of Love has himself imprinted with his own divine
+finger.
+
+OF THE EYE. The soul, however, dwells particularly in the eyes, and the
+faculty is inborn with every man to understand their language without
+ever having studied it. At least it should be so; the eyes should be
+like an open book, which all may read and understand. But as all eyes
+are not to be trusted, and will sometimes lead you astray, I will give
+you, my dear readers, a few rules to guide you in your path through
+life.
+
+A clear eye, with the pupil in continual, slightly tremulous movement,
+denotes a good memory, yet something of selfishness with slowness of
+comprehension.
+
+An eye which, while the person speaks, roves hither and thither,
+denotes a deceiver. Very quiet eyes which have an imposing effect
+upon you, and embarrass you by their great repose, signify great
+self-command, yet, at the same time, great self-complacency.
+
+Eyes which ordinarily appear impressive, yet often suddenly flash forth
+a clear pleasant light, denote true-heartedness and honesty, coupled
+with a sound understanding.
+
+Eyes which have always an inquisitive expression in them, and then
+suddenly, when they turn to address a person, have an exceedingly kind
+expression, are not to be trusted. This indicates a suspicious temper,
+and he who does not trust his fellow-man, can seldom himself be trusted.
+
+An eye in which the white has a yellowish tinge, and is streaked with
+reddish veins, denotes vehement passions.
+
+Very blue eyes, betray a temper inclined to coquetry.
+
+Gray eyes, intelligence.
+
+Greenish, falsehood, and a disposition to tittle-tattle.
+
+Yellowish, great phlegm.
+
+Black, a passionate lively temperament.
+
+Brown, a kind, good, happy disposition.
+
+A pair of eyes which looks every one cheerfully and frankly in the
+face, with an air of simple joy and unaffected innocence, yet, when
+surprised, droops to the ground, with a certain sly bashfulness, or,
+when offended by another’s glance, turns aside blushing and confused,
+such a pair of eyes, indicates an amiable character, a faithful heart,
+a sound understanding, and a pure soul.
+
+A being with such a pair of eyes we cannot help loving, let the eyes be
+black, brown, blue, gray, green, or yellow, let the nose be stumpy, and
+the features ill-shaped, no one can help regarding their possessor with
+a feeling of hearty kindness and good will, if not with actual love.
+
+OF THE EYE-BROWS. Upright eyebrows are amiable; the eyebrows hanging
+over, indicate an effeminate person; the brows very hairy, denote an
+industrious, affectionate man; the brows extending to the temples,
+usually signify a slovenly man.
+
+OF THE EARS. Open ears usually indicate but little reason; great ears
+not too much wisdom; very small ears foolishness; square ears of medium
+size, prudence.
+
+OF THE NOSTRILS. The nostrils thick and strong, betoken strength; if
+round, fair, and drawn in length, they are a sign that the person is
+merry and courageous; if narrow and round, they are mostly indicative
+of an envious and foolish person.
+
+OF THE MOUTH. A very large mouth, with the upper lip hanging over,
+usually signifies a foolish, unsteady person, a rash man and a babbler.
+A mouth not too large, indicates a bold and courageous man; and a small
+mouth, a clever man.
+
+OF THE FACE. A lean face is an indication of a wise man; the face plain
+and fat, denotes a person addicted to strife. The face without any
+rising and swelling, indicates a penurious person; a sad face sometimes
+denotes foolishness, and at other times wisdom; a fat face indicates a
+man to be inclined to untruth; a round face signifies folly; a great
+face denotes a man slow about business; a well-proportioned face
+indicates a person to have virtuous qualities.
+
+OF THE NAILS ON THE FINGERS. 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. White long nails denote much sickness, but are sometimes
+indicative of strength and deceit. If upon the white anything appears
+at the extremity that is pale, it denotes short life; but if the white
+is clear and smooth, it signifies long life.
+
+OF THE HEAD. A large head shows a person stupid, and dull of
+apprehension; also a very small head signifies the same; but the head
+of a man being neither great nor small, is the prognostic of a wise
+man; for all extremes are irregular and a deviation from nature, and
+experience has made it manifest, that a great head and small members do
+always produce great indiscretion and folly in either man or woman; but
+we must also consider the several parts of the head: and first,
+
+OF THE FOREHEAD. A large forehead shows a liberal man; but the
+forehead narrow, denotes a foolish person; a long forehead shows one
+apt to learn; a high forehead, swelling and round, is a sign of a
+crafty man, and a coward; a forehead full of wrinkles, shows a man to
+be envious and crafty.
+
+But in forming your opinions of men from these or other indications,
+you should always bear in mind that there is no rule without an
+exception.
+
+
+
+
+ FORTUNE-TELLING BY MOLES.
+
+
+These little marks on the skin, although they appear to be the effect
+of chance, or accident, and might easily pass with the unthinking
+for things of no moment, are nevertheless of the utmost consequence,
+since from their color, situation, size, and figure, may be accurately
+gathered the temper of, and the events that will happen to the person
+bearing them; though moles are, in their substances, nothing else
+than excrescences, or ebullitions which proceed from the state of
+the blood whilst the fœtus is confined in the womb, yet they are not
+given in vain, as they are generally characteristic of the disposition
+and temper of those that bear them; and it is also proved by daily
+experience, that from the shape, situation, and other 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 herein the common prognostications by moles found
+in 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 will be the prosperity 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 oblong,
+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 prosperous.
+
+We shall further remark only, that moles of a middling size and color
+are those which we are now going to speak of. The rest may be gathered
+from what we have just above mentioned, but as it may frequently happen
+that modesty will sometimes hinder persons from showing their moles,
+you must depend upon their own representation of them for your opinion.
+
+
+ SIGNIFICATION OF MOLES.
+
+ARM. (_Right or Left._) Show a courteous disposition, great fortitude,
+resolution, industry, and conjugal fidelity; it foretells that the
+person will fight many battles, and be successful in all; that you will
+be prosperous in your undertakings, obtain a decent competency, and
+live very happy—it denotes that a man will be a widower at forty, but
+in a woman it shows that she will be survived by her husband.
+
+ANKLE. Shows an effeminate disposition, given to foppery in dress,
+and cowardice in a man; but in a woman it denotes courage, wit, and
+activity—they foretell success in life with an agreeable partner,
+accumulation of honors and riches, and much pleasure in the affairs of
+love.
+
+ANUS. Around outside this place, a mole predicts that you will be
+indolent, shiftless and poor, though of good capacity.
+
+ARM-PITS. You will be very good looking, will become rich, and be
+benevolent.

+BACK. If just below either of the shoulder blades, it signifies
+that you will have misfortune and defeat in the enterprises you may
+undertake.
+
+BELLY. Shows an indolent, slothful disposition, given to gluttony, very
+selfish, addicted to the pleasures of love and drink, negligent of
+dress, and cowardly; it denotes small success in life, many crosses,
+some imprisonment, and travelling, with losses by sea; but it foretells
+that you will marry an agreeable partner of a sweet temper, have
+children, who will be industrious and become very respectable in life.
+
+BOSOM. Shows a quarrelsome and unhappy temper, given to low debauchery,

+neither very prosperous nor very miserable, but passed without many
+friends or much esteem.
+
+BREAST. A mole on the right breast shows an intemperate and indolent
+disposition, rather given to drink, strongly attached to the joys of
+love; it denotes much misfortune in life, with a sudden reverse from
+riches to poverty—many unpleasant and disagreeable accidents, with a
+sober and industrious partner—many children, mostly girls, who will all
+marry well, and be a great comfort to your old age; it warns you to
+beware of pretended friends, who will harm you much. A mole on the left
+breast shows an industrious and sober disposition, amorous, and much
+given to walking; it denotes great success in life and in love, that
+you will accumulate riches, and have many children, mostly boys, who
+will make their fortunes by sea.
+
+A mole under the left breast under the heart, shows a rambling,
+unsettled disposition, given to drinking and little careful of your
+actions; very amorous, and much given to indulge indiscriminately in
+the pleasures of love, in a man. In a woman it indicates sincerity in
+love, industry, and a strict regard for character; in life it denotes a
+varied mixture of good and bad fortune, the former rather prevailing;
+it denotes imprisonment for debt, but not of long duration. To a woman
+it denotes easy labors, and children who will become rich, live happy
+and respected, and marry well.
+
+BUTTOCKS. Signifies shiftlessness and poverty, though a good capacity;
+it is a sign that you will be too lazy to do anything for yourself.
+
+CHEEK. A mole on either cheek, shows an industrious, benevolent and
+sober disposition, given to be grave and solemn, little inclined to
+amorous sports, but of a steady courage and unshaken fortitude; it
+denotes a moderate success in life, neither becoming rich nor falling
+into poverty—it also foretells an agreeable and industrious partner,
+with two children, who will do better than the parents.
+
+CHIN. A mole on the chin shows an amiable and tranquil disposition,
+industrious and much inclined to travelling, and the joys of Venus; it
+denotes that the person will be highly successful in life, accumulating
+a large and splendid fortune, with many respectable and worthy friends,
+an agreeable conjugal partner, and fine children, but also indicates
+losses by sea and in foreign countries.
+
+EAR. On either ear it denotes riches in man or woman. If on the lower
+tip of the ear, keep off the water, or you will be drowned.
+
+ELBOW. A mole on either elbow shows a restless and unsteady
+disposition, with a great desire for travelling—much discontented
+in the married state and of an idle turn; it indicates no very
+great prosperity, rather a sinking than rising condition, with many
+unpleasant adventures, much to your discredit—marriage to a person who
+will make you unhappy, and children who will be disobedient, and cause
+you much trouble.
+
+EYE. A mole on the outside corner of either eye shows a sober, honest,
+and steady disposition, much inclined to the pleasures of love;
+it foretells a violent death, after a life considerably varied by
+pleasures and misfortunes; in general it foreshadows that poverty will
+keep at a distance.
+
+EYEBROW. A mole on the right eyebrow signifies a sprightly, active
+disposition, a great turn for gallantry, much courage, and great
+perseverance; it denotes wealth and success in love, war and business;
+that you will marry an agreeable mate, live happy, have children,
+and die in an advanced old age, at a distance from home. On the
+left eyebrow, temple, or side of the forehead, shows an indolent
+peevish temper, a turn for debauchery and liquor, little inclined to
+amorous sports and very cowardly; foretells poverty, imprisonment and
+disappointments in all your undertakings, with undutiful children, and

+FINGER. On either finger of either hand, it shows that you will be a
+thief, or a dishonest person in some way, and never wealthy.

+reading and a sedentary life; they foretell sickness and unexpected
+misfortunes, with many sorrows and much trouble, an unhappy choice of a

+
+FOREHEAD. If the mole is in the centre of the forehead it predicts an
+active, industrious disposition, success in business, riches, honors, a
+happy marriage, and a son who will be distinguished. But if the mole
+is on the side of the forehead, the signification is not so favorable,
+particularly if on the left side. (_See Eyebrow._) On the right side
+of the forehead, or right temple, shows an active and industrious
+disposition, much given to the sports of love; it denotes that she will
+be very successful in life, marry an agreeable partner, and arrive at
+unexpected riches and honors, and have a son, who will become a great
+man.

+HEART. Over the heart, denotes wickedness, poverty and a hasty,
+headstrong disposition. (_See Breast._)

+energy, who may be successful in what he undertakes; that he will be
+greatly talked about behind his back.
+
+HIP. A mole on either hip shows a contented disposition, given to
+industry, amorous and faithful in engagements, of an abstemious turn;
+it foretells moderate success in life, with many children, who will
+undergo many hardships with great fortitude, and arrive at ease and
+affluence, by dint of their industry and ingenuity.
+
+KNEE. A mole on the left knee shows a hasty and passionate disposition,
+extravagant and inconsiderate turn, with no great inclination
+to industry and honesty, much given to the pleasures of Venus,
+but possessed of much benevolence; it indicates good success in
+undertakings, particularly in contracts, a rich marriage, and an only
+child. On the right knee, shows an amiable temper, honest disposition
+and a turn for amorous pleasures and industry; it foretells great
+success in love, and the choice of a conjugal partner, with few
+sorrows, many friends, and dutiful children.
+
+LEG. Moles on either leg show a person of a thoughtless, indolent
+disposition, of an amorous turn, much given to extravagance and
+dissipation; it denotes many difficulties through life, but that you
+will surmount them all; it shows that imprisonment will happen to you
+at an early age, but that in general you will be more fortunate than
+otherwise; you will marry an agreeable person, who will survive you, by
+whom you will have four children, two of which will die young.
+
+LIPS. A mole on either lip shows a delicate appetite, a sober
+disposition, and much given to the pleasures of love, of an industrious
+and benevolent turn; it denotes that the person will be successful in
+undertakings, particularly in love affairs—that you will rise above
+your present condition, and be greatly respected and esteemed—that you
+will endeavor to obtain some situation, in which you will at first
+prove unsuccessful, but afterward prevail.
+
+MONS. If a woman have a mole here, she will become the mother of a
+great genius, or else the wife of a distinguished personage. It is also
+a sign of riches.
+
+MOUTH. (_See Lips._)
+
+NAVEL. On a woman it denotes many children, a good husband, and an
+abundance of this world’s goods. On a man it is a sign he will be lucky
+in all he undertakes, become very rich, and that he will have a son who
+will be distinguished.
+
+NECK. In front of the neck is a good sign; you will rise to unexpected
+honors and dignities, or become rich. On the back of the neck it
+denotes misfortune. On either side of the neck it foretells that you
+will become wicked or quarrelsome; and if on the right side, behind the
+ear, it is a sign that you will be hung.
+
+NIPPLE. In woman it is a sign that she will have a child that will
+become famous and distinguished in the world. In man it denotes that
+he will be fond of women, and spend much of his life in amours, to the
+neglect of his proper business.
+
+NOSE. Moles on any part of the nose, show a hasty and passionate
+disposition, much given to amorous pleasures, faithful to engagements,
+candid, open, and sincere in friendship, courageous and honest, but
+very petulant, and rather given to drink; it denotes great success
+through life and in love affairs—that you will become rich, marry
+well, have fine children and be much esteemed by your neighbors and
+acquaintance—that you will travel much, particularly by water.
+
+NOSTRIL. Inside the nostril shows that you will be energetic and
+persevering, and well off in the world; that you will get a good wife
+or husband when you marry.
+
+PRIVATE MEMBERS. Moles on these parts show a generous, open and
+honest disposition, extremely disposed to gallantry, and the joys of
+Venus, given to sobriety, and of undaunted courage; it denotes great
+success in the latter part of life, but many and severe misfortunes in
+the former, which will be borne with fortitude; it also foretells a
+happy marriage and fine children, who will be happy, thrive well, and
+grow rich and respectable: in man it shows that he will have natural
+children, who will cut a great figure in life, but he will experience
+much plague and vexation from their mother.
+
+SHIN. (_See Leg._)
+
+SHOULDER. On the left shoulder shows a person of a quarrelsome, unruly
+disposition, always inclined to dispute for trifles, rather indolent,
+but much inclined to the pleasures of love, and faithful to the
+conjugal vows. It denotes a life not much varied either with pleasures
+or misfortunes; they indicate many children, and moderate success in
+business, but dangers by sea. On the right shoulder shows a person of
+a prudent and discreet temper, one possessed of much wisdom, given to
+great secrecy, very industrious, but not very amorous, yet faithful to
+conjugal ties; it indicates great prosperity and advancement in life, a
+good partner, and many friends, with great profit from a journey to a
+distant country, about the age of thirty-five.
+
+SIDE. On either side, near any part of the ribs, shows an indolent,
+cowardly disposition, given to excessive drinking, of an inferior
+capacity, and little inclined to the pleasures of love; it denotes an
+easy life, rather of poverty than riches, little respected, a partner
+of an uneven and disagreeable temper, with undutiful children, who will
+fall into many difficulties.
+
+STOMACH. If in the pit of the stomach, it shows a person of foppish
+disposition, with little common sense, though much industry; it also
+denotes riches. If lower down on the stomach, it is a sign that you
+will promise more than you will perform, but will nevertheless be
+highly esteemed.
+
+THIGH. On the right thigh, it shows the person to be of an agreeable
+temper, inclined to be amorous, and very courageous: it also denotes
+success in life, accumulation of riches by marriage, and many fine
+children, chiefly girls. On the left thigh, shows a good and benevolent
+disposition, a great turn for industry, and little inclined to the
+pleasures of love: it likewise indicates many sorrows in life, great
+poverty, unfaithful friends, and imprisonment by the false swearing of
+some one.
+
+THROAT. It predicts a fortunate and wealthy marriage to either sex.
+(_See Neck._)
+
+TONGUE. If a man shall have a mole on his tongue, it foretells that
+he shall marry with a rich and beautiful woman of great celebrity.
+On a woman’s tongue it denotes reserve of manner and wisdom; also a
+fortunate marriage.
+
+WRIST. Moles on the wrist, or between that and the finger ends, show
+the person to be of an ingenious and industrious turn, faithful in
+his engagements, amorous and constant in his affections, rather of a
+saving disposition, with a great degree of sobriety and regularity
+in his dealings. It foreshows a comfortable acquisition of fortune,
+with a good partner, and beautiful children, but some disagreeable
+circumstances will happen about the age of thirty, which continue four
+or five years. In a man, it denotes being twice married—in a woman only
+once, but that she will survive her husband.
+
+
+ TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND BY THE HAIR.
+
+BLACK. Generally healthy, but apt to be cross; fond where he fixes his
+attachment, and likely to make a good husband, and be careful of his
+family: but if short and curly, is usually of an unsettled temper, apt
+to show a want of prudence and carefulness in early life.
+
+WHITE OR FAIR HAIR. Usually of a weak and sickly constitution, fond of
+music, and will cut no great figure in the world.
+
+YELLOW. Fond, but inclinable to jealousy; and not always industrious.
+
+LIGHT BROWN. Sensible and good-humored, careful and attentive, and, if
+saving of his income, generally makes a good husband; but is apt to be
+otherwise.
+
+DARK BROWN. Neither very good nor very bad, middling in all respects,
+but may be regarded as a pretty good character.
+
+VERY DARK BROWN. Of a robust constitution, and of a grave disposition,
+but sometimes not very good-tempered and sensible, and kind to a good
+wife.
+
+RED. Will be cunning, artful, and fond of female companions; and be
+generally of a lively temper, and sometimes careless of money.
+
+
+ SIGNIFICATION OF THE NAILS.
+
+BROAD NAILS. The person that hath the nails thus, is of gentle nature,
+good, and pusillanimous, and a great fear to speak before great
+persons, or those by whom they are in subjection; as also being guilty
+of extreme bashfulness.
+
+If about these nails there happens to be an excoriation of the flesh,
+which is commonly called points—in these large nails it signifies the
+party given to luxury, yet fearful, but usually given to excess.
+
+When there is at the extremity a white mark, it signifies ruin through
+negligence. The party has more honesty than subtlety.
+
+WHITE NAILS. He that hath the nails white and long, is sickly, and
+subject to much infirmity by fevers; he is neat but not very strong,
+because of his indispositions, much addicted to the company of women by
+whom he will be greatly deceived.
+
+NARROW NAILS. The person with such nails, is desirous of attaining
+knowledge in the sciences; but is never long at peace with his
+neighbors. But if to narrowness they add some degree of length, the
+person will be led away by ambitious propensities, always aiming at
+things which he will be unable to obtain.
+
+ROUND NAILS. These declare a hasty person, yet good-natured and very
+forgiving; a lover of knowledge, liberal sentiment, doing no one any
+harm, and acting by his own principles, but too proud of his own
+abilities.
+
+LONG NAILS. When the nails are long, the person is of a good-natured
+turn, but placing confidence in no man, being from his youth familiar
+with duplicity, but not practising it, from his strict adherence to
+virtue.
+
+FLESHY NAILS. This description of nail indicates an idler, loving to
+sleep, eat, and drink; not delighting in bustle and busy life; one who
+prefers a narrow income without industry, to one of opulence to be
+acquired by activity and diligence.
+
+LITTLE NAILS. Little round nails discover a person to be obstinately
+angry, seldom pleased, inclining to hate every one, as conceiving
+himself superior to others, though without any reason.
+
+PALE OR LEAD-COLORED NAILS. A melancholy person, one who through choice
+leads a sedentary life, and would willingly give up all things for the
+sake of study, and to improve in the learned and metaphysical branches
+of philosophy.
+
+RED AND SPOTTED NAILS. Choleric and martial, delighting in cruelty
+and war; his chief pleasure being in plundering towns, where every
+ferocious particle in human nature is glutted to satiety.
+
+When you find any black spots upon the nails, they always signify evil,
+as white ones are a token of good.
+
+
+
+
+ FORTUNE-TELLING BY TEA OR COFFEE GROUNDS.
+
+
+TO POUR OUT THE GROUNDS OF A TEA OR COFFEE CUP.—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, and the
+figures required for fortune-telling be formed.
+
+The person who acts as the fortune-teller, must always bend his or her
+thoughts upon him or her who is to have their fortune told, and on
+their rank in life, and profession, in order to give plausibility to
+the predictions. It is not to be expected that upon taking up the cup,
+the figures will be accurately represented as they are in reality, but
+it will be quite sufficient if they bear some resemblance to any of the
+emblems; and the more fertile the fancy is of the person that inspects
+the cup, the more he or she will discover in it.
+
+In other respects, every one who takes a pleasure in this amusement,
+must be a judge under what circumstances he or she is to make changes
+in point of time—speaking, just as it suits, in the present, the past,
+or the future; in the same manner, their ingenuity ought to direct them
+when to speak more or less pointedly with regard to sex.
+
+THE ROADS, or separate lines, indicate ways; if they are covered with
+clouds, and, consequently, in the thick, they are said to be infallible
+marks, either of many great or future reverses. But if they appear in
+the clear and serene, are the surest token of some fortunate change
+near at hand; encompassed with many points or dots, they signify either
+a gain of money, or long life.
+
+THE RING signifies marriage; if a letter is near it, it denotes to the
+person that has their 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 friendship; if surrounded with clouds, the contrary. But if
+the ring appear at the bottom of the cup, it forebodes the probability
+of a separation.
+
+THE LEAF OF CLOVER is, as well here as in common life, a lucky sign.
+Its different position in the cup alone makes the difference; because,
+if it be on the top, it shows that the good fortune is not far distant;
+but it is subject to delay, if it be in the middle or at the bottom.
+Should clouds surround it, it shows that many disagreeables will
+attend the good fortune; in the clear, it prognosticates serene and
+undisturbed happiness.
+
+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 fidelity;
+but in thick and cloudy parts, it denotes inconstancy.
+
+THE SERPENT, always the emblem of falsehood and enmity, is likewise
+here a general sign of an enemy. On the top or in the middle of the
+cup, it promises to the consulting party that by his always acting
+properly, his enemies will not be able to triumph over him; if in
+the thick or cloudy part, he must watch his temper and actions very
+carefully, to prevent great troubles.
+
+THE COFFIN. The emblem of death, prognosticates the same thing here, or
+at least a long and tedious illness, if it be in the thick or turbid.
+In the clear, it denotes long life; if in the thick, at the top of the
+cup, it signifies a considerable estate likely to be made by cautious
+industry.
+
+THE DOG, being at all times the emblem of fidelity or envy, has also a
+two-fold meaning here. At the top, in the clear, it signifies true and
+faithful friends: if the image be surrounded with clouds and dashes, it
+shows that some whom you take for your friends are not to be depended
+on; but if the dog be at the bottom of the cup, take much care not to
+excite any person to envy or jealousy, or you will have to dread the
+effects of both.
+
+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
+good spouse; if it be at the bottom, it denotes anger. In the clear,
+the lily further betokens a long and happy life; if clouded, or in the
+thick, it portends trouble and vexations.
+
+THE CROSS, in general, predicts adversities; if it be at the top, and
+in the clear, it indicates that the misfortunes of the party will soon
+be at an end, or that he will, by careful conduct, easily get over
+them; but if it appear in the middle, or at the bottom of the thick,
+the party must expect many severe trials; if it appear with dots,
+either in clear or thick, it promises recompense for sorrow.
+
+THE CLOUDS. If they be more bright than dark, you may expect a good
+result from your hopes; but if they are black, you may give it up.
+Surrounded with dots, they imply success in trade, if you are saving,
+and not too venturesome; the brighter they are, the greater will be
+your happiness.
+
+THE SUN, is an emblem of the greatest luck and happiness, if in the
+clear; but in the thick, it denotes a great deal of illness; surrounded
+by dots or dashes, it foretells that, without much circumspection, an
+alteration will soon take place.
+
+THE MOON. If it appear in the clear, it denotes high honors; in the
+dark or thick parts, it implies disappointment and sadness, which will,
+however, pass without great prejudice. But if it be at the bottom of
+the cup, the consulting party may expect, by industry and prudent
+conduct, to be very fortunate.
+
+THE STAR denotes happiness, if in the clear, and at the top of the cup;
+if clouded, or in the thick, it signifies long life, though exposed
+to various troubles. If dots are about it, it foretells fortune and
+respectability. Several dots denote good children; surrounded by dots,
+it predicts that, without good bringing up, they may cause you grief
+and vexation.
+
+MOUNTAINS. If it present only one mountain, it indicates the favor
+of people of rank; but several of them, especially in the thick, are
+signs of powerful enemies; in the clear, they signify the contrary, or
+friends in high life.
+
+THE LETTER. Signifies both pleasant and unpleasant news. If this emblem
+is in the clear part, it denotes the speedy arrival of welcome news;
+surrounded with dots, it announces the arrival of a remittance of
+money; but hemmed in by clouds, it forebodes some melancholy or bad
+tidings, a loss, or some other accident; if it be in the clear, and
+accompanied by a heart, lovers may expect a favorable letter; but in
+the thick it denotes the contrary.
+
+THE TREE. One tree only is indicative of good health; a group of trees
+in the clear part, betokens misfortunes, but which may be avoided by
+carefulness and industrious habits; several trees, wide apart, promise
+that your wishes will be accomplished; if they be encompassed by
+dashes, it is a token that your fortune is in its blossom, and requires
+only your own care and prudence to bring it to maturity; if the trees
+be accompanied by dots, it is a sign of riches.
+
+THE CHILD. In the clear part it bespeaks innocent intercourse between
+the consulter and another person; in the thick part it signifies
+crosses in love matters, and requires your utmost care to prevent great
+expenses; and a family without means of support.
+
+THE WOMAN. Signifies much joy in general. If in the clear, this emblem
+shows very great happiness; but in the thick part it cautions against
+jealousy. If dots surround the image, it shows children and wealth.
+
+THE PEDESTRIAN. Denotes in general a merchant, good business, pleasant
+news, or the recovery of lost things. It denotes to the female a kind
+and industrious husband; it also signifies some engagement, and a short
+journey.
+
+THE RIDER OR HORSEMAN. Denotes a letter, good news from abroad, a good
+situation, or the like; it also foretells that a fortune is to be
+obtained by care and industry.
+
+THE MOUSE. As this animal lives by stealth, it also is an emblem of
+theft or robbery; if it be in the clear, it shows that your loss will
+be easily prevented; but if in the thick, you must use your utmost
+watchfulness.
+
+THE ROSE, OR ANY OTHER FLOWER. Usually indicates success in science or
+art by study; if married, good children may be expected, and all the
+happy fruits, if they have but a good education and good examples.
+
+THE HEART. If it be in the clear, it 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 may expect
+to be married; if a letter is perceptible near it, it shews the initial
+of the person’s name.
+
+THE GARDEN, WOOD, OR BUSH. Signifies a large company. In the clear
+and with leaves, it indicates good friends; in the thick, encompassed
+with streaks, or if without leaves, it is a token of the caprices of
+fortune, and warns the consulting party to be cautious whom they take
+for their friends.
+
+THE ROD. Predicts differences with people about matters relating to
+legacies; in the thick, it denotes some affliction, which will require
+your utmost care to avert.
+
+THE BIRD IN GENERAL. In the clear, it signifies that the disagreeables
+and troubles with which you will have to combat, will only be
+surmounted by persevering in doing good; in the thick, it is a sign
+of good living; also a speedy journey, or voyage, which, if there be
+dashes, is likely to be to a distance.
+
+FISH IN GENERAL. Imply some lucky event by water, if in the clear,
+which will either happen to the consulter, or be the means of improving
+his affairs. If they are in the thick, the consulter may expect to fish
+in troubled water. Surrounded with dots, his destiny warns him to use
+diligence, temperance and frugality.
+
+THE LION, OR ANY FEROCIOUS BEAST. At the top, in the clear, it
+signifies prosperity in your intercourse with people of quality. At the
+bottom it warns the consulter to shun such intercourse and do nothing
+to excite any person to envy his fortune.
+
+WORMS. At the top, or in the middle of the cup, they denote good luck
+in trade and in matrimony; below they warn you against rivals in
+courtship, and against enviers in your trade and profession.
+
+THE STYLE. If combined with an hour-glass and in the thick, it denotes
+imminent dangers of all kinds; in love, disappointment; but in the
+clear, it signifies that your sweetheart is faithful and affectionate
+toward you, and that you are likely to live a long and happy life.
+
+
+
+
+ CHARMS AND MAGIC PROGNOSTICATIONS.
+
+
+Herewith I give a few mysterious magic formulas and prognostications,
+for the most part hitherto known only to wise old men and women, some
+of which I have had confided to me by learned astrologers, and a few
+were revealed to me by Madame Le Normand, a celebrated fortune-teller,
+in whose predictions the Emperor Napoleon put great confidence.
+
+
+ TO PREPARE A LOVE POTION.
+
+The following substances must be gathered in silence when the full moon
+is in the heavens: Three white rose leaves, three red rose leaves,
+three forget-me-nots, and five blossoms of Veronica.
+
+All these things you must place in a vessel, then pour upon them five
+hundred and ninety-five drops of clear Easter water, and place the
+vessel over the fire, or what is better still, over a spirit-lamp. This
+mixture must be allowed to boil for exactly the sixteenth part of an
+hour.
+
+When it has boiled for the requisite length of time, remove it from the
+fire, and pour it into a flask. Cork it tightly, and seal it, and it
+will keep for years without losing its virtue.
+
+That this potion is certain in its effect I myself will guarantee,
+for I have gained more than thirty hearts by its help. Three drops
+swallowed by the person whose love you desire, will suffice.
+
+
+ ANOTHER MEANS TO COMPEL LOVE.
+
+Take a healthy, well-grown frog. Place it in a box which has been
+pierced all over with holes with a stout darning needle or gimlet. Then
+carry it in the evening twilight to a large ant-heap, place it in the
+midst of the heap, taking care to observe perfect silence.
+
+After the lapse of a week, repair to the ant-heap, take out the box,
+and open it, when in place of the frog you will find nothing but a
+skeleton. Take this apart very carefully, and you will soon find among
+the delicate bones a scale shaped like that of a fish and a hook. You
+will need them both. The hook you must contrive to fasten in some way
+or other into the clothes of the person whose affections you wish to
+obtain, and if he or she has worn it, if it is only for a quarter of a
+minute, he will be constrained to love you, and will continue to do so
+until you give him or her a fillip with the scale.
+
+This method is over three thousand years old, and it has been practised
+by thirty-thousand of our ancestors with the most complete success.
+
+
+ FOR A GIRL TO ASCERTAIN IF SHE WILL EVER MARRY.
+
+Borrow a wedding-ring from a young married woman—the more recently she
+has been married the better—and do not tell her, or let her suspect
+your purpose; wear this ring on the third finger of your left hand at
+least three hours after sunset before you retire to rest. When you are
+ready to go to bed, take half a sheet of pure white paper, with no rule
+marks or anything upon it, lay down the ring on the paper, and mark
+round it so as to make a circle exactly its size: you then write within
+the circle, “With this ring I hope to wed:” write your name over the
+top, and your age underneath; fold the paper with a three-cornered
+love-letter fold, and put it under your pillow. Before getting into
+bed, suspend the ring by a hair of your head over the pillow so that it
+will hang about six inches above your face. You will then dream of your
+future husband if you are ever to marry. If you dream of several men,
+the one whose appearance pleases you best will be the man. If you dream
+of women or girls exclusively, you will never marry. Sometimes it may
+happen that your dream is confused, and you have no clear recollection
+of it, or perhaps you may not dream at all, in which case you must
+continue the charm, by keeping the paper under your pillow for three
+nights; but the ring is not necessary after the first night.
+
+
+ THE STRAW SIGN.
+
+If you find a blade of straw lying in your chamber, you may expect
+a visitor that same day. If there is one grain upon the straw, the
+visitor will be a gentleman, if not, a lady.
+
+
+ THE SCISSOR OR KNIFE PROGNOSTIC.
+
+If a pair of scissors, a knife, or any other pointed instrument falls
+accidentally from your hand, and sticks in the floor, so that it
+remains upright, you may make every preparation for company, for be
+assured they will not fail to come.
+
+
+ THE CAT PORTENT.
+
+When the cat licks and trims herself, it is a sign of visitors, but
+this is probably known to most of my readers already.
+
+
+ SIGN OF VISITORS.
+
+Finally, a fourth sign of approaching visitors is the crying of the
+magpie. Magpies, as is well known, are the most inquisitive creatures
+upon the face of the earth. They fly from place to place, and listen
+to everything. When they find out that any persons have concluded to
+pay you a visit, they fly to you at full speed, and bring you the
+news, for they are as chattering as they are inquisitive. They perch
+themselves upon your house, or upon a tree which may stand near it, or
+on the grass, and there sit and chatter until they think you must have
+understood them. Therefore, always give heed to these wise birds, for
+it is well to know when you are to expect visitors.
+
+
+ THE NEW MOON.
+
+On first seeing the new moon, if you happen to look at it over your
+right shoulder, you may make a silent wish, and you will realize it.
+If a girl thus observes the new moon, and desires to see her future
+husband, she must repeat to herself (so as not to be heard by any one)
+the following lines:
+
+ New moon, new—pray let me see
+ Who my husband is to be:
+ The color of his hair,
+ The clothes he is to wear,
+ And the happy day that he’ll wed me!
+
+If she is to be married that year, she will positively see the man of
+her choice before the wane of the full moon.
+
+
+ THE KEY AND BOOK CHARM.
+
+To find out the two first letters of a future 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, chap. viii., ver. 6 and 7, place the wards
+of the key on those 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 fore-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.
+
+[Illustration: the key and book charm.]
+
+It must be observed, that you mention to the person who repeats the
+verses, before you begin, which you intend to try first, whether
+surname or Christian name, and take care to hold the Bible steady; 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, chap. viii., ver. 6 and 7.
+
+ "Set me 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 thereof are
+ coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
+
+ “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if
+ a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be
+ utterly contemned.”
+
+
+ CARD CHARM.
+
+Draw all the face cards from the pack and put them into your stocking
+on a Friday night, placing the stocking under your pillow. You must
+find out by the Almanac the precise time the sun rises on Saturday
+morning, and at that moment draw a card. A king denotes a speedy
+marriage; a queen means delay or celibacy; a Jack is a gay seducer who
+will give you trouble. Diamonds are riches, hearts true love, spades
+thrift, and clubs poverty.
+
+
+ THE SPIDER OMEN.
+
+It is considered an ill omen when one sees a spider _in the morning_.
+The earlier in the morning, and the larger the spider, the greater the
+evil which threatens you. It is _within doors_, however, and chiefly
+_in one’s own chamber_, that the spider has this signification—out of
+doors they forebode no harm. The _wood spider_ especially, is not much
+to be dreaded; what I have said above refers particularly to the _house
+spider_. Never, on any account, kill a wood spider. By such an act you
+would only draw upon yourself the hatred of the whole race of witches,
+and sooner or later you would suffer from it.
+
+When found _in the evening_, a spider signifies good luck. The smaller
+the spider, the greater the good fortune. I will here teach you the
+following rhyme:
+
+ “Matin, chagrin,
+ Soir, espoir.”
+
+Little spiders have much less evil in them than the others, and those
+called daddy-long-legs are always messengers of good luck.
+
+
+ THE STRING TOKEN.
+
+If your shoe-tie or apron string breaks, your sweetheart is thinking of
+you.
+
+
+ SIGN WHEN YOUR RIGHT EAR TINGLES.
+
+If your _right ear_ tingles, some one is speaking _well_ of you, if
+the _left ear_ tingles, some one is speaking _ill_ of you. To find
+out who this some one is, you must call out aloud the names of your
+acquaintance, one after another. The name at which the tingling ceases
+is the name of the person.
+
+
+ SIGN WHEN TOUR NOSE ITCHES.
+
+If your nose itches early in the morning, you will on that very day
+hear a piece of news.
+
+
+ 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 dollar to an astrologer.
+
+
+ THE SIGN OF A SNEEZE.
+
+If any one tells you anything, and you are shortly after obliged to
+sneeze, you may be sure that what was told you is true.
+
+
+ THE DEATH-TICK.
+
+If you hear a wood-tick or death-watch ticking anywhere in the house,
+you must try to get rid of it as soon as possible, or you will speedily
+hear of a death which will greatly afflict you.
+
+
+ THE CRICKET.
+
+If there is a cricket in the house, be careful on no account to disturb
+it. Think of Dickens’ _Cricket on the Hearth_.
+
+
+ AN OMEN OF RICHES.
+
+When an _ant-heap_ gathers in your house, it signifies _coming
+wealth_—you may, however, destroy the nest.
+
+
+ THE FROG PROGNOSTIC.
+
+If the first _frog_ that you see in the spring of the year is sitting
+upon _dry ground_, it signifies that, during the same year, you will
+shed as many tears as the frog would require to swim away in.
+
+
+ THE CANDLE TOKEN.
+
+When a large red token forms in the flame of a candle-wick, it
+signifies that the one who first sees it will soon receive a letter.
+
+
+ THE STAR AUGURY.
+
+When you are out of doors on a starlit evening, and shooting stars
+appear, turn your face upward to the stars, and utter in a whisper the
+wish nearest your heart. If a star shoots while you do this, you may be
+sure that the wish will be fulfilled.
+
+
+ HOW TO BE SURE OF A PARTNER AT A DANCE.
+
+When you wish to be sure of many partners at a dance or ball, let
+a little brother or sister, or any other person _hold a thumb for
+you_—that is, keep her hand closed like a fist for a quarter of an
+hour, holding her _thumb_ between the _fore_ and _middle finger_, while
+she thinks of you, and wishes you good luck. This proceeding has a
+wonderful effect.
+
+
+ THE BRIDE’S OMEN.
+
+If you would have fair weather on your wedding day, you must always
+faithfully feed the cats. It is true it is a common error when persons
+think that it forebodes evil when it rains upon the bride _in her
+bridal dress_. This is no evil omen, but the contrary. But, above all
+things, let her be careful not to allow her _shoes to get wet_. If my
+young readers would take the trouble to read Frederika Bremer’s work
+called “The House,” they would find in it a confirmation of this
+warning.
+
+
+ TO KNOW IF A WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HAVE A GIRL OR BOY.
+
+Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the month
+she conceived with child, and likewise adding all the numbers of those
+letters together, divide them by seven; and then, if the remainder be
+even, it will be a girl, if uneven, it will be a boy.
+
+
+ THE CROW SIGN.
+
+If you wish to know how matters will go with you during the year, you
+must take good heed of the first _crow_ that you see in the spring. If,
+when you first see it, it is _flying_, it signifies that you will take
+a journey that will be longer or shorter, according to the distance
+which the bird flies before it alights. It may also signify a complete
+_change of abode_, perhaps by a wedding. If you first see the bird
+_sitting_, you will remain at home; if _cawing_, much that you do not
+think of will happen to you; if upon _one leg_, fortune will not smile
+upon you.
+
+
+ THE RABBIT AUGURY.
+
+If, when in the open field, or upon the highroad, a _rabbit runs across
+your path_, it signifies that something _unpleasant_ will happen to you.
+
+
+ THE SHEEP AND SWINE TOKEN.
+
+If you are going to pay a visit, and you meet with _sheep_, you will be
+very _welcome_; but if you meet with _swine_, you will be _unwelcome_.
+
+
+ A CHARM AGAINST NIGHTMARE.
+
+If you wish to be secure against the nightmare in your sleep, place
+your shoes side by side upon the floor, at the foot of the bed, so
+that the toes will point _not_ toward the bed, but in the contrary
+direction, as if they were _going from it_.
+
+
+ WHAT A SPIDER WEB FORETELLS.
+
+If you are walking with a young man at a time when the so-called
+gossamer, those snow-white spider’s threads, are floating about in the
+air, and one of these delicate fibrous veils sweeps by, _and forms
+a band between you and him_, it is a sign that feelings of a tender
+nature will some day bind you to each other.
+
+
+ HOW TO GET A SWEETHEART.
+
+If a thick, long spider’s web hangs anywhere from the ceiling, you must
+sweep it down as soon as possible, for it signifies a _suitor_, and the
+one that gets the web will have him.
+
+
+ WHAT A PRICK IN THE FINGER SIGNIFIES.
+
+If you are sewing upon a new dress, apron, &c., &c., and you prick your
+finger with the needle so as to bring blood, it is a sign that when you
+first wear the garment you will receive many kisses.
+
+
+ EASTER WATER.
+
+In speaking of a love potion, I made mention of _Easter water_; many
+of my readers have, I suppose, never heard of this singular kind of
+water. I will explain it to you. It is water which is drawn from the
+river upon Easter morning, before the sun has shone upon it. To obtain
+it, therefore, you must rise on Easter morning while it is still
+quite dark, take your way to the river in silence, fill your pitcher
+in silence, and then make your way home in silence, without looking
+behind you. You may then go to bed again and have your sleep out. This
+Easter water has this peculiarity: _it will keep sweet throughout
+the whole year_. You can, therefore, fill as many bottles with it as
+you please, cork them tightly, and lay them away. Besides its use in
+the above-named love potion, it is beneficial in various maladies,
+especially in diseases of the eye, and, in addition to this, it is an
+approved cosmetic.
+
+
+ THE RYE CHARM.
+
+If you would have bread and cake in plenty during the whole year, hang
+a full sheaf of rye and a full sheaf of wheat upon a pole outside the
+door, on Christmas morning, so that the birds may come and feed from it.
+
+
+ NUMEROUS METHODS OF TELLING FORTUNES ON NEW YEAR’S EYE.
+
+The evening which of all others is the most adapted for witchery, is
+New Year’s eve. It is a very ill practice to spend this evening _at
+a ball_, and it is an acknowledged fact that ill luck, more or less,
+follows a person throughout the year, who has _danced the old year out
+and the new year in_.
+
+You should spend New Year’s eve with a small circle of near and dear
+friends, around a punch-bowl, while you seek to inquire what the future
+has in store for you. In the first place this may be done with _melted
+lead or wax_. Some of you, perhaps, are acquainted with this method of
+inquiring of the future, yet there may be many among your number who
+are still ignorant of it. Now, as it is of the highest interest in the
+world that these should know the process, I will here give, for their
+benefit, a short explanation of it, which the others may skip over.
+
+
+ THE LEAD AND WAX SPELL.
+
+Take a good-sized piece of lead or wax, (the former is better,) place
+it in a melting-ladle, and dissolve it over the coals, or over a
+spirit-lamp, into which you have poured a little alcohol. You must then
+take a vessel full of water, (a bowl is best, that is not too deep nor
+too shallow,) and pour into it the lead or wax, and from the various
+figures which it forms in the water you endeavor to tell your fortune.
+
+
+ THE SAUCER CHARM.
+
+The following is another method: you take four saucers; in one you
+put a _ring_, in another a _sprig of myrtle_, in the third a _piece
+of money_, and in the fourth _nothing_. The individuals composing
+the company must now walk around the table, blindfold, one after the
+other, and choose one of the saucers, which, in the mean time, have
+been changed as to place. Those among the company who choose the ring,
+will be _betrothed_ in the course of the year; _myrtle_ signifies
+wedlock, the _piece of money wealth_, the _empty saucer_ no change of
+circumstances.
+
+
+ HOW TO TELL THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FUTURE WIFE OR HUSBAND’S NAME.
+
+If you wish to know the letter with which your future wife or husband’s
+name commences, write all the letters of the alphabet, separately, upon
+small pieces of paper, put these pieces in a box, and draw one out
+blindfold.
+
+All this may be done before twelve o’clock. Exactly at the stroke of
+midnight, however, you can summon up your future husband or wife, and
+behold his or her image _up the chimney_.
+
+
+ THE CANDLE SPELL.
+
+The following is another method: Take _two candles_, go a little
+before twelve o’clock into an adjoining chamber—no one on any account
+must follow you—place yourself before the _mirror_, and exactly as it
+strikes _twelve_, call out your own name in full, _three times_. When
+the last sound has died away, you will see in the glass your future
+husband looking over your shoulder.
+
+The company may not remain together after twelve o’clock. When the old
+year is out and the new year in, you must embrace, and kiss each other,
+and then go home. You must not yet go to bed, however, but must first
+devote an hour to solitude, to reflect upon all which the past year has
+brought with it, and to commit to writing the chief occurrences, as
+well as the state of your minds. It would be well to keep a book for
+this purpose, in which you should read and write only on a new-year’s
+eve, and at other times keep carefully stored away. I have always done
+this, and I can assure you, that it is with a feeling of sad, sweet
+interest, that I now read, each new-year’s eve, of the eighty-nine
+years of my life.
+
+
+ THE NUTSHELL WITCHERY.
+
+Among the witcheries which you may perform on a new-year’s eve, there
+is one to which I have not alluded. Each person of the company, to wit,
+takes a _nutshell_, and, after lighting a _wax taper_, places it in the
+shell. A basin of water is then brought. You now place the nutshells,
+with the burning tapers in them, in the basin. Some will incline toward
+each other as they float along, others will repel each other, until, at
+last, all are extinguished or sunk. What conclusions in reference to
+the future, are to be drawn from the various movements of these tiny
+magic skiffs, your own quick wits will tell you.
+
+
+ THE BRIDGE OMEN.
+
+After you have gone home, and have devoted an hour to the solitary task
+which I counselled you (see CANDLE SPELL), take a _glass of water_,
+cut a small _chip of wood_, and lay it crosswise upon the glass, so
+that it stretches like a bridge, from one end to the opposite one. Then
+place this glass under your bed. The consequence will be that you will
+dream during the night that you are walking over a bridge, and that you
+fall into the water. A gentleman, however, appears and rescues you.
+This same gentleman, whom you will see very distinctly, be careful to
+remember, for he is your future husband. A gentleman can make the same
+experiment, and he will dream the same thing, with the difference only,
+that it is a lady who rescues him, and she is to be his future wife.
+
+
+ THE HAIR SPELL.
+
+If you wish any person to think of you, pluck a hair from your head,
+and blow it out into the air toward that quarter of the heavens in
+which the person lives, while, at the same time, you call out the name
+of this person _three times_, at the top of your voice. During this you
+must be entirely alone, and must have thought intently upon the person
+for, at least, a quarter of an hour beforehand. At the same instant he
+will experience a strange unearthly shudder or thrill, and his thoughts
+will turn irresistibly toward you.
+
+
+ SIGN WHEN YOU WET YOUR APRON.
+
+When you are washing, if you are apt _to wet your apron_ a great deal,
+it is a sign that your future husband will be a tippler. Take good heed
+therefore!
+
+
+ THE NAIL TOKEN.
+
+If a person has nails that are all bitten to pieces, and gnawed close
+to the quick, it signifies an evil, malicious character, and you have
+every reason in the world to be on your guard in your intercourse with
+such a person.
+
+
+
+
+ HOW TO DETERMINE THE LUCKY AND THE UNLUCKY DAYS OF ANY MONTH IN THE
+ YEAR.
+
+
+Ascertain from the Almanac the day on which a full moon occurs, and
+count the number of days from that to the end of the month: you then
+multiply the number of days in the month by the number ascertained as
+above, and the total will give you the lucky days (subject to a further
+test hereafter explained), which must be reckoned this wise: if the
+total happens to be, say 516, the lucky days of that month would be
+the 5th and 16th, and if it should be 561, the days are the same, for
+you must always transpose the figures, when they will work together.
+Suppose that instead of 516, the total should be 399; as neither of
+these figures can be paired, the lucky days from that total are the
+3d and 9th, and the 9th would be considered doubly lucky, if no tests
+worked to the contrary.
+
+The unlucky days are determined in precisely the same manner, by
+multiplying the number of days in the month by the number which had
+passed previous to a full moon.
+
+After working out your list of lucky days, in the manner above
+described, you must then test them, in order to be sure that there are
+no opposing influences. You can do this by calculating the unlucky
+days. Should you find that any day of the month which was designated as
+lucky came also in the list of unlucky days, the latter preponderates,
+and you must strike it from the lucky list.
+
+This plan of demonstrating lucky and unlucky days is very ancient,
+and has been tested to such an extent that it is considered accurate
+by most astrologers. In old times, before the mass of the people
+understood much about figures, the professional fortune-tellers
+demanded a large fee for casting the lucky days of any month, which
+they accomplished in the manner above described.
+
+Lucky marriage days for girls were cast in the same manner, except
+that the age of the girl was used as the multiplicator, or multiplier,
+instead of the number of days in the month. The result was determined
+similarly, and also by a test of the unlucky days. Thus, if a girl
+is 18 years old, and thinks of marrying in October, she takes up an
+Almanac and ascertains the day of the full moon in that month. It
+occurs on the 24th, and there are 31 days in the month: this leaves 7
+for the multiplier. She multiplies this by her age, 18, and the result
+is 106, which shows the lucky days in that month for her to marry are
+the 10th and 6th, unless they are destroyed by the test, which is
+determined as follows: There are 23 days before the 24th, and she must
+multiply 23 by 18, which gives 414, and shows that the 4th and 14th are
+the only unlucky days for her to marry; and as they do not conflict
+with the lucky days, the 6th and 10th may be considered as genuine
+lucky days for that month, reckoning the moon to have fulled on the
+24th. In determining her age, she should reckon any period over half a
+year a full year.
+
+
+
+
+ THE DIVINING ROD:
+
+ OR, HOW TO TELL WHERE TO DIG FOR WATER AND ALL KINDS OF METALS.
+
+
+So early as Agricola, a celebrated conjuror who lived in ancient times,
+the divining rod was in much request, and has obtained great credit
+for its discovering where to dig for metals and springs of water; for
+some years past its reputation has been upon the decline, but lately it
+has been revived, and with great success, as I have myself found from
+numerous experiments that its effects are more than imagination, and
+to enable others to do the like, I have laid down some short rules, as
+follows:
+
+DIRECTIONS FOR CHOOSING RODS. The hazel and willow rods, I have by
+experience found, will actually answer with all persons who are in a
+good state of health, if they are used with moderation, and at some
+distance of time, after meals, when the operator is in good spirits.
+The hazel, willow, and elm are all attracted by springs of water. Some
+persons have the virtue intermittently; the rod in their hands will
+attract one half hour, and repel the next. The rod is attracted by
+water, all metals, coals, amber, and lime-stone, but with different
+degrees of strength.
+
+The best rods are those from the hazel, or nut-tree, as they are
+pliant and rough, and are best cut in the winter months; a shoot that
+terminates equally forked is to be preferred, (_See Fig. 1_,) about two
+feet and a half long; but as such a fork is rarely to be met with, two
+single ones of a length, and size may be tied together with thread, and
+they will answer as well as the others. (_See Fig. 2._)
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 1. Fig. 2.]
+
+The most convenient and handy method of holding the rod is with the
+palms of the hands turned upward, and the two ends of the rod coming
+outward; the palms should be held horizontally as nearly as possible;
+the part of the rod in the hands ought to be straight, and not bent
+either backward or forward; the upper part of the arm should be kept
+pretty close to the sides, and the elbows resting on them, the lower
+part of the arm making nearly a right angle with the upper, though
+rather a little more acute; the rod ought to be so held that, in its
+working, the sides may move clear of the little fingers. The position
+of the rod, when properly held, is much like the following figure,
+(_see Fig. 3_,) where the distance between the four downward lines is
+the part supposed to be held in the hand.
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 3.]
+
+The best manner of carrying the rod is with the end prolaided in an
+angle of about eighty degrees from the horizon, as by this method of
+carrying, the repulsion is more plainly perceived than if it was held
+perpendicularly. But after all the directions that can be given, the
+adroit use of it can only be attained by practice. It is necessary that
+the grasp should be steady, for if, when the rod is going, there should
+be the least succession or counteraction in the hands, though ever
+so small, it will greatly impair, and generally totally prevent its
+activity, which is not to be done by the mere strength of the grasp,
+for provided this be steady, no strength can stop it.
+
+As soon as the person’s foremost foot comes near the attracting body,
+the end of the rod is repelled toward the face. (_See Fig. 4._) Then
+open the hands a little, replace the rod, and approach nearer, and the
+repulsion will be continued until the foot is on or over the attracting
+body. When this is the case, the rod will first be repelled a little,
+viz., two or three inches, and then be attracted toward it.
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 4.]
+
+When it hath been drawn down, it must not be thrown back without
+opening the hands, a fresh grasp being necessary to every attraction,
+but the least opening of the hand is sufficient. As long as the person
+stands over the attracting body, the rod continues to be attracted,
+but as soon as the fore foot is beyond it, then the rod is drawn down
+backward to the face. Metals have different degrees of attraction:
+gold is strongest, next copper, then iron, silver, tin, lead, bones,
+coals, springs of water and lime-stone. To make common experiments,
+set the foot on a piece or coin of any of these metals, having the rod
+in your hands as before directed. In using the rod to discover springs
+and metals, let the person hold the rod as already directed, and then
+advancing north or south with a slow pace, just one foot before the
+other, at first the rod may be repelled, but as the person advances
+slowly, and comes over the spring, or vein of ore, the rod will be
+strongly attracted. The divining rod is sometimes called _Divina
+Virgula_, and sometimes _The Luck Rod_.

+
+ SIGNIFICATION OR LANGUAGE OF THE FLOWERS.
+
+
+No Book on Fortune-telling and Dreams would be complete without the
+signification of the flowers. If we dream of, or have those smiles of
+nature given to us, we should at once consult the language of Flora and
+ascertain what our dream or present signifies.
+
+It is no new thing to attach a sentiment or meaning to each flower.
+In Eastern lands flowers have a language which all understand. It is
+that “still small voice” which is powerful on account of its silence.
+It is one of the chief amusements of the Greek girls to drop these
+symbols of their esteem or scorn upon the various passengers who pass
+their latticed windows, and the traveller can read upon Egyptian rocks
+accounts of the conquests of that ancient people recorded by foreign
+plants. Accompanying, we give a complete dictionary of the meaning of
+the flowers.

+
+STRENGTH OF MIND is signified by light, curled hair, a small body,
+shining eyes, but a little depressed, a grave intense voice, bushy
+beard, large broad back and shoulders.
+
+PRIDE stands confessed with arched eyebrows, a large prominent mouth, a
+broad chest, slow pace, erected head, shrugging shoulders, and staring
+eyes.
+
+LUXURY dwells with a ruddy or pale complexion, downy temples, bald
+pate, little eyes, thick neck, corpulent body, large nose, thin
+eyebrows, and hands covered with a kind of down.
+
+LOQUACITY may be expected from a bushy beard, broad fingers, pointed

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+<p>This singular wheel was much consulted in the middle ages, and
+is said to have been used by Cagliostro to aid him in his divinations.
+I have selected it from an old Latin manuscript on Astrology, and

+
+<li>II. <i>If the querent shall meet with the preferment he wisheth for?</i></li>

+
+<li>VIII. <i>Whether a person shall be rich or poor? etc., etc.</i></li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h3>HOW TO TELL FORTUNES BY THE GOLDEN WHEEL.</h3>
+
+<p>The person whose fortune is to be told, must place the wheel of
+Fortune face downward, prick into a number (it is better to do it
+with their eyes shut), then refer for an explanation, which stands at
+the corresponding number as that you pricked into. (See Frontispiece.)</p>
+
+<p><i>The following observations answer for either sex, the party, therefore,
+trying this wheel, must alter wife for husband, or just as the answers
+may suit either party.</i></p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">4</span></p>
+
+<p>1. If this number is fixed upon, it assures the person that you will
+marry an homely person, but rich.</p>
+
+<p>2. Whatever your intentions are, for the present, decline them.
+Those absent will return.</p>
+
+<p>3. Shows loss of friends; bad success at law; loss of money; unfaithfulness
+in love.</p>
+
+<p>4. If your desires are extravagant, they will not be granted; but
+mind how you make use of your fortune.</p>
+
+<p>5. Very good fortune; sudden prosperity; great respect from high
+personages; a letter bringing important news.</p>
+
+<p>6. Look well to those who owe you money, if ever so little, a letter
+of abuse may be expected.</p>
+
+<p>7. Your lover will act constant and true toward you.</p>
+
+<p>8. A friend has crossed the sea, and will bring home riches, by
+which you will be much benefited.</p>
+
+<p>9. A loving partner; success in your undertakings; a large and
+prosperous family.</p>
+
+<p>10. Your husband will not have a great fortune, but with your
+assistance he is likely to live in middling circumstances.</p>
+
+<p>11. A very sudden journey, with a pleasant fellow-traveller, and
+the result of the journey will be generally beneficial to your family.</p>
+
+<p>12. You may regain that which you have lost with great perseverance
+and trouble.</p>
+
+<p>13. A letter of importance will arrive, announcing the death of a
+relative for whom you have no very great respect, but who has left
+you a legacy.</p>
+
+<p>14. By venturing carefully, you will gain doubly, though you will
+suffer great privation.</p>
+
+<p>15. You will meet with many crosses before you are comfortably
+settled.</p>
+
+<p>16. Too sudden acquaintance with the opposite sex; but which
+will be opposed; notwithstanding the party should persevere, as it
+will be to his or her advantage.</p>
+
+<p>17. An agreeable partner, a good temper, and a large family of
+children.</p>
+
+<p>18. Let the chooser of this number persevere; for your schemes
+are good, and must succeed.</p>
+
+<p>19. You will marry young, and have dutiful children.</p>
+
+<p>20. Your lover may be low in circumstances, but affectionate.</p>
+
+<p>21. Your marriage will add to your welfare, and you will be very
+happy.</p>
+
+<p>22. A drunken partner, bad success in trade, but the party will
+never be very poor, though always unhappy.</p>
+
+<p>23. Do not neglect your lover; let your conduct command respect.</p>
+
+<p>24. You have many friends, and will probably have a large and
+virtuous family.</p>
+
+<p>25. Your travels will be prosperous, if you are prudent.</p>
+
+<p>26. You have many enemies, who will endeavor to make you unhappy.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">5</span></p>
+
+<p>27. The luck that is ordained for you, will be coveted by others.</p>
+
+<p>28. Be very prudent in your conduct, as this number is very precarious,
+and much depends upon yourself; it is generally good.</p>
+
+<p>29. Beware, or you will be deceived by the person you are paying
+your attentions to.</p>
+
+<p>30. You love one who is affectionate and true, and deserves respect.</p>
+
+<p>31. You too fantastically refuse offers. Be prudent when you accept,
+or you will be sorry.</p>
+
+<p>32. You will be very unfortunate for a short time, but be careful,
+and your situation will very soon alter.</p>
+
+<p>33. A fortune will be yours, but be not over anxious.</p>
+
+<p>34. Alter your intentions, or you will be sorry when it is too late.</p>
+
+<p>35. You will have a rich, but jealous partner, and will live very
+uncomfortably.</p>
+
+<p>36. You will have a sober, steady, and affectionate partner, but
+poor.</p>
+
+<p>37. A very good fortune, sudden prosperity, and a large family.</p>
+
+<p>38. The persons who choose this unlucky number, must look well
+to their conduct; or justice will overtake them.</p>
+

+<h2 id="WHAT_ARE_DREAMS">WHAT ARE DREAMS?</h2>
+
+
+<p>I offer you in this work, my dear reader, all that can be collected
+in reference to dreams. Notwithstanding the proverbial saying, “All
+dreams are lies,” we frequently see the realization of them, and by
+them we are informed of more or less interesting events which afterward
+happen to us. A prudent and enlightened man will therefore
+examine carefully his dreams to know which he ought to interpret,
+neglecting those which are extravagant because of too exalted an
+imagination or of a disturbed digestion.</p>
+
+<p>In consulting this book with attention, in seeking in it for the explanation
+of your dreams, and calculating the causes which have produced
+them, you will rarely depart from the truth, because you will
+be following the rules of a wise combination, which will prevent you
+from falling into an illusory if not fatal error.</p>
+
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h3><a name="FOREKNOWLEDGE_OR_INTERPRETATION" id="FOREKNOWLEDGE_OR_INTERPRETATION">FOREKNOWLEDGE, OR INTERPRETATION
+OF DREAMS.</a></h3>
+
+
+<p>In the Holy Scriptures God says, that he “will pour his Spirit on
+all flesh, that the young men and maidens shall prophesy, the old
+men shall see visions, and the young men dream dreams.” Both
+sacred and profane history are full of so many examples of the fulfilment
+of dreams, that he must be very skeptical and but little versed
+in natural science who would refuse to have faith in them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">8</span></p>
+
+<p>Hippocrates says that when the body is asleep the soul is awake,
+and transports itself everywhere, where the body would be able
+to go, that it knows and sees all that the body could know or see
+were it awake; that it touches all the body could touch, in a word,
+that it performs all the actions that the body of a sleeping man could
+do were he awake.</p>
+
+<p>There are five kinds of dreams, differently named according to their
+different qualities. The first is dream, the second vision, the third
+oracle, the fourth revery, and the fifth apparition.</p>
+
+<p>A dream is that which, while we are asleep, shows us the truth
+hidden under certain figures, as when Joseph interpreted to king
+Pharaoh the dream concerning the seven lean kine that devoured
+the seven fat ones; the dream of the seven full ears of corn, etc.</p>
+
+<p>A vision is simply a dream happening when the body is awake
+instead of sleeping, as Vespasian when he saw the surgeon who had
+extracted Nero’s tooth.</p>
+
+<p>The oracle is a revelation, or information given us by some angel
+or other celestial spirit who does God’s bidding. The angel appearing
+to Joseph the husband of the Virgin, and to the wise men, are
+examples of this.</p>
+
+<p>Revery occurs when the passions are so vehement that they destroy
+the mental equilibrium for a time. Then what one thinks of
+during the day he will dream of at night, as a lover who has been
+thinking during the day of his beloved one will continue to do so at
+night while he is sleeping. Sometimes when one fears to meet a
+person, he will dream at night that he has met him; having fasted
+during the day, he will dream of eating, or, having been thirsty, of
+drinking. Avarice will make the miser dream of his gold, and speak
+of it when sleeping, as he would not do when awake.</p>
+
+<p>Apparition is named Phantom by the Greeks, and is only that
+nocturnal vision sometimes presented to children and weak-minded
+persons, who imagine they see objects presented to intimidate or pain
+them.</p>
+
+<p>Of these five kinds of dreams, the three first have an appearance
+of truth, but the last two are absolutely false.</p>
+
+<p>It is to be remarked, with regard to all dreams, that those of which
+only parts are remembered, signify nothing at all; that those that
+memory retains are good and true; that they ought to occur about
+day-break, or at least after midnight, because until that time the
+senses and the body are occupied in the labor of digestion, and the
+mind disturbed by the remembrance of dinner, can dream of nothing
+reasonable. Nevertheless Artemidorus says, that a sober, temperate,
+and tranquil man can dream at any hour of the night, or even during
+the day, and that the fulfilment of such dreams will be certain.</p>
+
+<p>Some authors divide dreams into three kinds, namely, dreams of
+natural objects, of animals, and of celestial objects. The natural
+things are those by which physicians judge of the temperament;
+dreams of animals show the passions and cares that the mind has
+felt during the day; those of celestial objects are the intimations of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">9</span>
+divine things, as for example, the statue that the king of Babylon
+saw when asleep, which is so well explained by the prophet Daniel.</p>
+
+<p>There are few persons who have the gift of dreaming that which will
+be fulfilled, fewer still who know how to interpret them, because it is
+necessary to observe many things not generally known.</p>
+
+<p>There are two principal kinds of dreams, the speculative or contemplative,
+and the allegorical or significative. To these one ought
+to pay attention, the speculative happening in the fulfilment as it
+occurred in dreams, for example: A prisoner in a small prison at
+Paris dreamed that a cord was being attached to his neck to hang
+him, that after it was done a stranger appeared with a sword who
+severed the cord and delivered him from death; this was fulfilled the
+next day, for the judge having pronounced his sentence, and given
+him to the hangman, he was delivered by unknown persons employed
+by his friends. Allegorical dreams on the contrary never happen as
+one has dreamed. Thus, to dream of an angel, signifies revelation
+or good news, but to see a serpent which tries to bite one signifies
+troubles arising from the envy of others.</p>
+
+<p>Speculative dreams are soon fulfilled, allegorical ones not so quickly;
+a day or two often intervening between the dream and its completion.</p>

+
+<h3>ABOUT THE INTERPRETATION OF
+DREAMS.</h3>
+
+<p>“Dreams? Nonsense!” I hear some grave-faced person cry. Indeed!
+And where did this grave-faced person learn his wisdom? Not from experience, I will engage. No, experience teaches us the
+reverse of this. Dreams are <i>by no means</i> nonsense. This I maintain
+openly in the face of all the world.</p>
+
+<p>I maintain even that <i>every dream has its signification</i>. Not that it
+always discloses the future, I am far from asserting that. I say only
+it <i>has its signification</i>. Commonly a dream "permits us to cast a
+glance into the soul or into the heart of man. The thoughts which
+dwell in the former, and the feelings which sway the latter, shape
+themselves in sleep into various images, which throw a strong light
+upon the character. There have no doubt been many extravagant
+fictions palmed off as facts relative to dreams, but yet enough credible
+evidence exists of their importance to make any strange dream the
+subject of reflection and examination on the part of the dreamer; and
+it cannot be denied that many things in our dreams are actually
+omens.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">10</span></p>
+
+<h4><span class="smcap">A List of Dreams, with their True Interpretation, together
+with the Lucky Numbers of the Lottery which they signify.</span></h4>
+
+<p><a id="ABOVE"></a>ABOVE. To dream you see any thing hanging <i>above</i> you signifies
+you will improve in your worldly prospects, and soon be in a better
+situation than you were before you had the dream. 76, 62, 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ABSENCE"></a>ABSENCE. To dream of absent persons, signifies that they will
+soon return. It also denotes success in business. 4, 22.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ABSCESS"></a>ABSCESS. If you dream you have an abscess, or running sore on
+your person, it foretells good fortune and good health, to be preceded
+by sickness. 3, 27.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ABUSE"></a>ABUSE. To dream that you are abused and insulted, is a sign that
+some dispute will happen between you and some person with whom
+you have business; if you are in love, be assured that some one has
+attempted to injure you with the object of your affections, and that
+they have in a great measure succeeded. 6, 38, 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ABUNDANCE"></a>ABUNDANCE. If you dream you have an over-abundance of any
+thing, it goes by contrary, and is a sign of a scarcity; as if a farmer
+should dream that he had a great crop, it would predict a scarcity—not
+perhaps of that particular article of which he dreamed, but of
+something that would be important to him. 15.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ABYSS"></a>ABYSS. To see an abyss, or deep hole, is a warning; avoid, after
+such a dream, taking a journey by land, or a voyage by sea, for eight-and
+forty hours, because it forebodes accidents by travelling. 62, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACCIDENT"></a>ACCIDENT. To dream that an accident has happened to you, or
+to any one of your household, or with whom you live, foretells that
+you will see some one whom you little expect to see. 72, 3, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACCOUNTS"></a>ACCOUNTS. Dreams that relate to making up accounts are good
+omens. If you dream you found an error in your money account, it
+foretells that you will have a piece of good luck. Accounts blotted
+with ink is a sign of sickness. 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACCUSE"></a>ACCUSE. To dream a person accuses you of any thing, is favorable
+to the dreamer. 66, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACORN"></a>ACORN. (<i>See <a href="#OAK">Oak</a>.</i>) To dream you see swine eating acorns denotes
+that you will have reverses in business, and lose if you are not very
+careful; to dream of picking acorns signifies that a rich relative will
+leave you a fortune. 65.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACQUAINTANCE"></a>ACQUAINTANCE. To dream you quarrel or fight with an acquaintance,
+forebodes divisions in your own family; in love, unfaithfulness;
+and losses in business. 42, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ACTRESS"></a>ACTRESS. If you dream you love her, it is a sign you will meet
+with adversities. If you dream you see her on the stage you will be
+successful in all your undertakings. 68, 5, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ADDER"></a>ADDER. To dream of this reptile is a sign that some one whom
+you think friendly to you will injure you in some way. 19, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ADULTERY"></a>ADULTERY. It is in most cases a bad omen to dream that you
+have perpetrated this act. If the person you dreamed about is married,
+or is a prostitute, you may almost be sure that some misfortune<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">11</span>
+will overtake you. If she is a virgin, it merely predicts that you will
+shortly have an invitation to a wedding. For a married woman
+to dream of adultery is a sign she will soon conceive and have a
+girl. To an unmarried woman such a dream is a sign of misfortune.
+51, 7, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="AGUE"></a>AGUE. To dream that you have one, warns you against an inclination
+to strong drink; to dream your sweetheart has an ague, denotes
+affection and happiness. 39, 6, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="AIR"></a>AIR. To dream that you see it clear and serene, shows that you
+shall be beloved and esteemed by most people; if at law, success.
+In short, all good is denoted by clear and serene air. But to dream
+that the air is thick, cloudy, dark, and troubled, denotes to the
+dreamer, grief, sickness, loss of good, hindrance of business, and
+crosses in love. 12, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ALMONDS"></a>ALMONDS. Signify riches and happiness; to eat them shows you
+will have good luck in love matters. 73, 18, 10.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ALLIGATOR"></a>ALLIGATOR. (<i>See <a href="#REPTILE">Reptile</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="ALMS"></a>ALMS. To dream they are begged of you, and you refuse them,
+shows want and misery to the dreamer; but to dream you give them
+freely, is a sign of joy and long life. 11, 13, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ALTAR"></a>ALTAR. To dream of an altar, betokens gladness, and affection in
+love. Of an <i>Ark</i>, the same. 71, 63, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ANCHOR"></a>ANCHOR. To dream you see one, signifies unexpected success in
+love; but in business, it shows the success to be distant, and only
+obtainable with care. 47, 36.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ANGEL"></a>ANGEL. To dream you see angels in your sleep, is a sign some
+are near you, and that the rest of your dream will come to pass. To
+see many angels, is a sign of many children, and much prosperity.
+16, 8, 24.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ANGER"></a>ANGER. (<i>See <a href="#RAGE">Rage</a>.</i>) To dream that you have been provoked to
+anger, shows that you have powerful enemies; and warns you to be
+careful that all you do should be strictly honorable; but it also signifies
+you will hear good news, and be in a good humor. 44, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ANGLING"></a>ANGLING. (<i>See <a href="#FISH">Fish</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="ANTS"></a>ANTS. To dream of ants, is unlucky; and to dream too often of
+them, shows the dreamer not to be long lived. 7, 49, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="APES"></a>APES. (<i>See <a href="#MONKEY">Monkey</a>.</i>) To dream you have seen or had any thing
+to do with them, signifies malicious, though secret enemies; and
+warns you against carrying on law-suits. 17, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="APPARITION"></a>APPARITION. To dream you see an apparition or spirit, clothed
+in white, signifies deceit, temptation to sin, and disappointment in
+love. 57.</p>
+

+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">To dream of seeing strange apparitions,</div>
+ <div class="verse">As devils, hobgoblins, and such visions,</div>

+</div></div></div>
+
+<p><a id="APPAREL"></a>APPAREL. (<i>See <a href="#SILKS">Silks</a> and Satins.</i>) To dream that your clothes are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">12</span>
+good, denotes prosperity and happiness; of white apparel, is good
+only for clergymen; to others it is a sign of trouble; to mechanics,
+decline of business; to the sick, death. If of black, however, it is of
+their recovery; of rich scarlet apparel, is good for rich men, signifying
+honor; but is death to the sick, and loss or captivity to the poor;
+to dream of women’s apparel, is good for the unmarried; but to a
+married man loss of his wife or sickness. 17, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="APPLES"></a>APPLES, or APPLE-TREES. (<i>See <a href="#ORCHARD">Orchard</a>.</i>) If sweet, denote joy

+that your enemies will get the better of you. To dream of the backbone,
+signifies health and much joy. To see your back denotes misfortune.

+omen, as it shadows forth sickness, and perhaps death. 42.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HAM"></a>HAM. Dreaming of fine-looking hams is a good omen; but if they
+are wormy or in any way blemished, it spoils all the luck, and shows
+that you will be unfortunate. To dream of eating fine-tasting hams

+10, 7, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HARP"></a>HARP. To dream you play upon the harp, indicates that you have

+<p><a id="HASTE"></a>HASTE. (<i>See <a href="#RUN">Running</a> and <a href="#WALKING">Walking</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="HAT"></a>HAT. For a man to dream he has got a new hat shadows forth<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">35</span>
+good luck and advancement; dreaming of an old or shabby hat is a
+sign he will soon fall in love; and if he dreams he is wearing such a
+hat, the omen is not so favorable, for he will probably endeavor to
+take improper liberties with his sweetheart and be successful. 21, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HATCHING"></a>HATCHING. To dream of hatching fowls of any kind is a sign of
+thrift; if you imagine, in your dream, that a hen comes off with a
+very large brood of chickens, it shadows forth so much cash to be
+made by you in some bargain. 24, 68.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HATRED"></a>HATRED. To dream that you hate any particular person is a sign
+that he or she has been talking bad about you. If a girl should ever
+be so silly as to dream such a dream about her lover, it shows that he
+meditates an attack upon her chastity; on the contrary, if she dreams
+that he hates her, it is a sign that she possesses his whole heart. 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HAWK"></a>HAWK. If you dream of seeing a very large hawk, it shows that
+you will soon begin a new enterprise; if the hawk darts down and
+takes a chicken, a bird, or a fish, you will probably be successful; if
+little birds attack the hawk and drive it away, you will have difficulties
+in your undertaking and may possibly fail in it. 5, 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HAY"></a>HAY. (<i>See <a href="#RAKING">Raking</a> and <a href="#HARVEST">Harvest</a>.</i>) To dream of making hay, signifies
+success in all your undertakings. This is a good omen to young
+lovers. To dream you are selling hay is a bad omen, and portends
+losses in business and dangerous accidents. 49, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HEAD"></a>HEAD. To dream of heads in any way is a good omen: if you
+dream your own head is very large, it shows that you will probably
+become distinguished; if you see a large-headed person in your
+dream, it is a sign you will make the acquaintance of some one who
+will benefit you. 65, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HEAL"></a>HEAL. If you dream of having a sore on your person that was
+healed up quick, it is a sign that some one will cut your acquaintance;
+if you have a sweetheart or lover, it is probable something will happen
+to break off the intimacy. 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HEART"></a>HEART. To dream of a heart is a bad omen. If you lose your
+heart it signifies sickness and death. To the married it denotes
+infidelity of their marital vows. To dream you see a human heart
+shows you are sincerely beloved; but to dream you have a pain or
+palpitation in your heart shows you are doomed to suffer through
+treachery. 46, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HEAT"></a>HEAT. If you dream of being in a place that is extremely hot, or
+if the weather is so hot that the heat affects you, it shows that some person
+is preparing either to attack you or give you a good scolding. 71, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HEN"></a>HEN. (<i>See <a href="#CHICKEN">Chicken</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="HIDE"></a>HIDE, or HIDDEN. To dream of concealing anything by hiding
+it, or putting it in an out-of-the-way place, is a sign that some one
+will reveal a secret that you have told. It is a bad omen for lovers
+to dream of hiding things, as it predicts that their intimacy will be
+talked about as suspicious. 45, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HILL"></a>HILL. To dream of going up a hill is a sign you will rise in the
+world, and of going down hill the reverse; if, in your dream, you
+seem to be approaching a smooth high hill, it shows that you will<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">36</span>
+shortly have a piece of good fortune; but if the hill be rugged and stony,
+it foretells difficulties in connection with the good fortune. 1, 46, 18.</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">To dream of mountains, hills, or rocks,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Does signify, slouts, scoffs, and mocks;</div>

+ <div class="verse">That she whom you love, loves not you.</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p><a id="HISSING"></a>HISSING. To dream of hearing hissing noises, such as steam
+makes, or of geese hissing, is a sign of shame. If a girl dreams this,
+it foretells that she will do something she is ashamed of: to a man
+it is a sign he will do an undignified act, or one that will injure his
+prospects. 47.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOG"></a>HOG. To dream of well-kept and happy-looking hogs is a good
+omen, as it foretells luck and success: but if you see lean and hungry-looking
+hogs squealing, it shows that any speculation you may
+enter into about that time will not be of much account if it does not
+result in a loss. 64.</p>
+
+<p>HOG’S-BRISTLES. This dream denotes great violence and danger.
+21, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOLE"></a>HOLE. (<i>See <a href="#ABYSS">Abyss</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOMINY"></a>HOMINY. To dream of eating hominy with a relish is a sign that
+you will marry below your station in life, or else you will entertain
+a new acquaintance who is much below you in position, who will
+eventually command your esteem. To an educated young girl such
+a dream predicts a runaway match. 2, 10.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HONEY"></a>HONEY. This dream denotes you will have a long and happy life.
+If you dream you are eating honey it denotes that something will
+happen that will give you great joy or pleasure. To a young girl it is
+a sign that she will soon have a lover that will please her. 49, 3, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOPS"></a>HOPS. To dream of seeing a large garden of hops in full leaf, denotes
+thrift and wealth: if you see dried hops, and smell their fragrance,
+it shows that you will shortly come into a good lump of money
+from a legacy or a successful speculation. 27, 9.</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">To maid who dreams of fragrant hops,</div>
+ <div class="verse">A lover soon the question pops!</div>

+</div></div></div>
+
+<p><a id="HORNS"></a>HORNS. To see horns on the head of another person, danger to
+the dreamer on your own wealth and importance. To dream you
+are gored by a horned animal denotes unhappiness. To lovers it
+usually predicts that they will have difficulty in connection with their
+desires; if they think of marrying, some obstacle will be placed in the
+way of their union, though perhaps not prevent it in the end. 9, 18,
+36.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HORSE"></a>HORSE. If you dream of riding well and easily on the back of this
+noble animal, your fortune is sure to advance in the world: but if
+you imagine you are thrown from a horse, it is a sign of disgrace.
+To dream of swapping horses shows that some one will cheat you in
+a bargain; of selling a horse, it is a sign of loss; but of buying one,
+predicts that you will make money by some speculation, or else by<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">37</span>
+selling property. Horses are excellent animals to dream about. 2,
+11, 22.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOUSE"></a>HOUSE. (<i>See Repairing.</i>) To dream you build a house denotes you
+will have a comfortable life: to burn your house signifies increased
+riches: to dream you spill water in a house is a sign of care and
+affliction: to dream you see a house fall denotes death. Dreaming
+of building houses, wearing fine clothes, and talking with ladies, is a
+sign that the parties will suddenly marry. 47, 66.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HOUSEHOLD"></a>HOUSEHOLD UTENSILS. The pot denotes the life; the platter
+the actions of life; the candlestick intends the wife; the light,
+or lantern, the husband; the hearth the estate; vessels of wine are
+the servants; the stores cupboards, and cabinets mean the wife.
+24, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HUG"></a>HUG. If a young girl dreams of being fondled and hugged by her
+lover, it is a sign he will soon get sick of her and want to be off: it
+is not half so bad to let him hug her in real earnest as it is to dream
+of it. The same sign holds good with the other sex. 2, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HUNGRY"></a>HUNGRY. (<i>See <a href="#FAST">Fast</a>.</i>) To dream of being hungry foretells that
+you will soon engage in some new enterprise which will prove successful.
+Hungry dreams are excellent omens to lovers, as they denote
+energy and success. If a girl dreams that a gentleman comes
+to see her who is hungry, it is a sign that he will woo her in such
+an earnest and affectionate manner as to win her heart. 19, 37.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HUSBANDRY"></a>HUSBANDRY. To dream of implements in husbandry, has a
+variety of interpretations: to dream of a plough, denotes success in
+life, and a good marriage; to dream of a yoke, is unfavorable, unless
+it be broken; to dream of a team, death in a family, to dream of a
+scythe signifies sickness. 76, 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HUNTING"></a>HUNTING. To dream of going a hunting brings an accusation of
+dishonesty: if you are returning from the chase, good fortune awaits
+you. 8, 10.</p>
+
+<p><a id="HUT"></a>HUT. To dream that you live in a small hut is a sign that you
+will shortly have a house of your own. If in your dream, you visit
+a little hut which is inhabited, it shows that you will be invited to
+partake of the hospitalities of some family. 29, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ICE"></a>ICE. (<i>See <a href="#SKATING">Skating</a> and <a href="#SLIDING">Sliding</a>.</i>) To dream of walking on slippery
+ice in winter, is a sign that misfortune threatens you: if you slip
+down, it foreshadows bad luck: if you dream of gliding or skating
+easily over smooth ice, it shows that you will probably have a difficulty
+of some kind, but will overcome it and get through handsomely.
+For lovers to dream of going over ice is a bad omen. 4, 28.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ILLNESS"></a>ILLNESS. (<i>See <a href="#SICKNESS">Sickness</a>.</i>) To dream that you are ill and confined
+to your bed is a sign that some one will overreach you in a bargain,
+or cheat you in some way. Such a dream is a bad omen to loves,
+as it predicts false vows. 16, 38.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ILLUMINATION"></a>ILLUMINATION. To dream of an illumination augurs success in
+life and much happiness; if the light begins to disappear, sorrow
+and many tears will be your portion. 24, 68.</p>
+
+<p><a id="IMPERTINENCE"></a>IMPERTINENCE. If a girl dreams that she meets a gentleman<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">38</span>
+who is impertinent toward her in conversation, it is a sign she will
+make a new male acquaintance who will be very agreeable to her:
+if she gets angry at the said impertinence she will probably fall in
+love with her new friend and either marry him or be on improper
+intimate terms with him. 1, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="INDIGO"></a>INDIGO. To dream of indigo, denotes to a female that she will
+cross the ocean. When she dreams of putting the indigo in water,
+and it gives no color, she may be assured she will arrive in India.
+But to embrace the water in the usual way, no such thing will come
+to pass. 27, 15.</p>
+
+<p><a id="INFANT"></a>INFANT. (<i>See <a href="#CHILD">Child</a>.</i>) Dreaming of a young infant is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells joy and gladness, good luck, and success generally.
+Lovers who dream such a dream may be sure of a happy and
+thrifty marriage. To a business man this dream predicts a new and
+successful enterprise. 29, 76.</p>
+
+<p><a id="INK"></a>INK. To dream that you see splashes of ink on white paper, or on
+anything, is a sign of scandal: after such a dream, you may be sure
+that somebody will be talking pretty hard about you: the larger the
+splashes the bigger will be the stories that are told. 41.</p>
+
+<p><a id="INN"></a>INN. To dream of being at an inn, is very unfavorable; it denotes
+poverty and unsuccessfulness in business; to the lover, the unfaithfulness
+of his sweetheart; to the tradesman, loss of business and
+dishonest agents. 46, 33.</p>
+
+<p><a id="INQUEST"></a>INQUEST. To dream that you are present at a coroner’s inquest,
+is a bad sign; you will soon squander your fortune. 49, 16.</p>

+
+<p><a id="INUNDATION"></a>INUNDATION. (<i>See <a href="#OVERFLOW">Overflow</a>.</i>)</p>

+
+<p><a id="ITCH"></a>ITCH. To dream that you have the itch, or that your body itches,
+shows that you will shortly receive money. 40, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ISLAND"></a>ISLAND. To dream that you are on a deserted island shows that
+you will commit some act to disgust your friends and make them cut
+your acquaintance; be careful how you behave after dreaming such
+a dream. 19, 65, 22.</p>
+
+<p><a id="IVORY"></a>IVORY. To dream of ivory, signifies that you will be very successful
+in business. To the single it is a sign they will soon fall in
+love and be fortunate in their courtship. To the married it denotes
+domestic happiness. 4, 75, 30.</p>
+
+<p><a id="IVY"></a>IVY. To dream of seeing this vine running over and covering any
+house, is a sign of poverty, particularly if the ivy grows thick and
+abundant: if you dream that it covers your own house, the sign is
+still more sure: for a farmer to dream that he sees ivy covering a
+tree, denotes bad crops. A girl who dreams of being in a bower
+covered with ivy, will probably marry a poor and shiftless man. 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JAIL"></a>JAIL. (<i>See <a href="#PRISON">Prison</a>.</i>) If a man dreams he is confined in a prison or
+jail, it shows that he will have honors or dignities conferred upon
+him, as such dreams go contrariwise: if his arrest and imprisonment
+worries him, it only shows that he will be the more delighted with
+his new dignities. 46.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">39</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="JAR"></a>JAR. To dream that a house is jarred or shook by an earthquake,
+an explosion, or anything that may occur outside, is a sign that the
+head of the family in that house will be sick. Jars of preserved fruit
+or jellies, seen in a dream, are good omens; if you dream you are
+presented with one or more of them, it shows you will be long lived
+and thrifty. 15, 39.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JEALOUSY"></a>JEALOUSY. To dream you are jealous of your sweetheart, or
+wife, signifies that they will betray you; for a maiden to dream she is
+jealous of her sweetheart is a sign some particular friend will “<i>cut
+her out</i>;” for a wife to dream she is jealous of her husband, foretells
+the loss of his love. 28, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JELLY"></a>JELLY. To dream of having pots of jelly given to you, or that you
+are eating jelly, and that plenty of it is around, is a sure sign of long
+life and good fortune generally; as many pots as are given to you, or
+as you may have, so many generations will you live to see. The
+same rule applies to preserved fruits. 65, 18, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JEW"></a>JEW. If you dream that a genuine Israelite comes along and
+annoys you in any way, it is a sign you will quarrel with your father;
+if you imagine that he cheats you in a bargain, it predicts that you
+will probably receive a present from some near relative; on the contrary,
+if he gives you an advantage in the bargain, it shows that
+your father, or some elderly relative, will ask a favor of you. 58, 21.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JEWELS"></a>JEWELS. Chains, pearls, or precious stones, etc., and all adornings
+upon the heads and necks of women, are good dreams for the
+fair sex; to widows and maids they signify marriage; and to those
+that are married, riches. If a man dreams of possessing jewels, it is
+a sure sign he will lose something of great value. 46, 75.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JIG"></a>JIG. To dream of dancing a jig with a lady is a sign she is in love
+with you, or is pleased with you; and if you like her you may go in
+at once for her favor with much confidence. The omen is the same
+to a girl who dreams of jigging with a young man. 1, 65, 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JOLLY"></a>JOLLY. If you dream you are in company and feel particularly
+hilarious, or jolly, it is a sign of sorrow; mark well who it is that contributes
+most to your mirth, for he or she may cause you pain. If a
+girl dreams this of a young man, let her beware of him for a gay
+seducer. 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JOY"></a>JOY. To dream that you are in the ecstasy of joy at anything that
+has happened, bodes pain and trouble; something will be sure to
+occur to make you unhappy. 46.</p>
+
+<p><a id="JUMPING"></a>JUMPING. (<i>See <a href="#LEAPING">Leaping</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="JURY"></a>JURY. If a man dreams he is serving on a jury, it is a sign some
+friend will ask a favor of him that he will hesitate to grant. 38, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KALEIDOSCOPE"></a>KALEIDOSCOPE. To dream you are looking through one of these
+curious instruments, and if you are delighted with the changes that
+present themselves, it is a sign, that you will either travel in distant
+countries or be very discontented at home. 36, 75.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KEG"></a>KEG. To dream of an empty one is a sign you will soon leave
+home; a keg of small fish, or oysters, denotes the receipt of money;
+a keg of spirits of any kind, promises poverty; a keg of powder foretells<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">40</span>
+misfortune; a keg of paint predicts compliments to be paid you.
+14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KEY"></a>KEY. If you dream of finding a key, or a bunch of keys, it is a sign
+that some one will tell you a secret; to dream of losing a key, or keys,
+is a bad omen, as it predicts that you will come to shame. Such a
+dream is particularly unfortunate to a young lady. 41, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KID"></a>KID. To dream of a young and sportful kid, implies the birth of a
+child. A young girl who grants her lover too close intimacy before
+marriage should never dream of the innocent and harmless kid. It is
+a good dream for married people who desire children. 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KING"></a>KING. To dream of a king denotes that the dreamer is ambitious
+and will be disappointed. If you dream you speak to a king it is a
+happy omen, and is a sign of riches and honor. 4, 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KILL"></a>KILL. If you dream of wantonly killing any animal, or insect, it
+predicts bad luck and poverty; but if the killing be done by accident,
+it shows that, though you may have a misfortune in consequence, it
+will not materially affect your interest. For butchers or farmers to
+dream of killing fat and healthy animals for food, is a sign of thrift
+and abundance; but if they dream of killing a hog that does not squeal,
+it shadows forth a death in the family. 41.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KISSING"></a>KISSING. (<i>See <a href="#STRANGER">Stranger</a>.</i>) Dreams of kissing work curiously: if a
+girl dreams that she is kissed by a young man in whom she takes
+no particular interest, it may be a good omen, and it may not; for if
+he happens to be a silly fellow who imagines that she is in love with
+him, it is a sign she will be slandered in a way that will make her
+unhappy; but if he has no such sentiment, then the sign is exactly
+the reverse—that is, some one will speak well of her to those whom
+she esteems highly—perhaps to her lover. If a girl dreams she is
+kissed by her lover, it predicts that he will say something unpleasant
+to her at their next meeting; if a lover dreams that his sweetheart
+kisses him the sign is similar. 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KITE"></a>KITE. To dream of flying a kite is a sign that you will soon write a
+letter to some friend or acquaintance. For a girl to dream of seeing a
+kite in the air, predicts that she will receive a letter from a young
+man—whether a lover or not, is uncertain. 53, 62.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KNEE"></a>KNEE. To dream of falling on the knees, denotes misfortune in
+business. To see a woman’s knees, good luck and marriage to the girl
+of your choice. For a woman to see a man’s knee, shows that she will
+have many male children. 22, 37, 35.</p>
+
+<p><a id="KNIVES"></a>KNIVES. To dream of knives is a bad omen; it betokens law-suits,
+poverty, disgrace, and strife. In love, it shows quarrels and bad
+tempers. 33, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LABOR"></a>LABOR. To dream you are hard at work, shows you will go a painful
+journey, unless you be very circumspect; but to see others at work,
+betokens good fortune. If a girl dreams she sees her lover at work, it
+signifies that he will try and seduce her. 27, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LADDER"></a>LADDER. To dream of going up a ladder signifies that you will
+be a person of some consequence, yet poor: if you imagine you are
+in danger of falling, it shows that a person who envies your posi<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">41</span>tion
+will attempt to injure you; if you dream of going down a ladder
+it particularly denotes poverty, though it may allude to some misfortune
+that will overtake you. 14, 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LADIES"></a>LADIES. To see one, a sign of weakness; many ladies bring
+calumny and slander. To see a light-haired one, is a happy event to
+the dreamer; a brunette, sickness; a pregnant lady, brings good news;
+a naked lady, signifies the death of a relative. To hear a lady speak,
+without seeing her, foretells departure. 47, 51, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAKE"></a>LAKE. If you dream of sailing on a smooth and clear lake, it foreshadows
+success in all your undertakings; if the lake is rough, but
+yet has clear water, the sign still holds good, though you will encounter
+difficulties; if it is muddy water, it denotes sickness, and losses
+through dishonest people about you. 49, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAMBS"></a>LAMBS. To see young lambs frisking around their mother, is an
+excellent omen, as it denotes thrift, and also happiness in your family
+ties; if you see them sucking, it is a sign of an increase in your family
+by the birth of a child. For lovers to dream of young lambs, foretells
+a speedy and happy marriage. 24, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAMP"></a>LAMP. To dream of dropping or breaking a lighted lamp, denotes
+disappointment. If, in your dream, you see the bright light of a
+lamp at a distance from you in the dark, and you approach it, it
+shows that you will either have good luck, or will be invited to visit
+somewhere and meet an agreeable person of the opposite sex. 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAND"></a>LAND. To dream of buying or inheriting land, is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells health and wealth; but to sell land in your dream,
+denotes sickness and poverty. If a young man dreams of buying
+land, it is a sign he will marry a rich wife. 34, 61, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LANTERN"></a>LANTERN. To dream of carrying a lantern in a dark night is a
+good sign, provided you have no difficulty in finding your way, for it
+shows that you will easily accomplish some fortunate object you may
+have in view; if you stumble, or have difficulty in finding your way
+with the lantern, it denotes trouble and vexation, though success will
+be achieved at last. 28, 10.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LARK"></a>LARK. To dream of the lark, shows speedy increase of fortune.
+To lovers, this is a very favorable omen, and is a sign that the course
+of true love runs smooth. 47, 68.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAUGHTER"></a>LAUGHTER. This omen is unfavorable, and is a sign of tears; it
+also denotes that you will be worsted by your business engagements;
+if a lover dreams he sees his sweetheart laugh, it is a sign she will
+jilt him for a stranger; to the married it signifies domestic trouble. 40.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAUREL"></a>LAUREL or OLIVE. Denotes victory and pleasure; to the married,
+inheritance and children; to the single, marriage. 71, 13, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAW"></a>LAW. To dream of instituting a suit at law, or entering a criminal
+complaint against any one, shows that some enemy will injure you
+pecuniarily, or that you will lose money by speculation or trade; if
+you dream you are sued, or prosecuted criminally, the sign is the reverse;
+you will probably receive money unexpectedly, or be uncommonly
+successful in your pursuits. 21, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAWYER"></a>LAWYER. To dream of meeting a lawyer, brings bad tidings; if<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">42</span>
+you speak to him, you will lose some property; if you hear some one
+speaking in his favor, you will meet with some misfortune. 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LAZY"></a>LAZY. To dream that you see lazy people lounging around, and
+that you are vexed with them, is a sign of bad luck to some of your
+relatives, who will depend upon you to assist them: if, in your dream,
+you imagine yourself to be lazy and sleepy over your work, it foretells
+either sickness or that you will meet with a loss. 62, 39, 69.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LEAD"></a>LEAD. (<i>See <a href="#METALS">Metals</a>.</i>)</p>
+

+death. 47, 21.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LEGS"></a>LEGS. To dream of thick and fat legs is a bad omen, as it foreshadows
+sickness: thin, spindleshank legs are excellent ones to dream
+about, as they denote a successful race with fortune. It is not to be
+supposed that a lover will ever dream of his sweetheart’s legs, but if
+he should do so, he will probably imagine them to be round, plump,
+and of an alabaster whiteness; this is a bad dream, and he should by
+all means avoid thinking of her legs when he goes to sleep: if a lady
+dreams that her lover’s legs are thin, it foretells that he will be a
+rich man. 48, 5.</p>

+dream you receive a great number of letters, it foretells that honors
+await you: to receive one letter in your dream, denotes that some
+one is praising you behind your back. If a girl dreams that she receives
+a love-letter from her beau, it shows that he adores her: a
+gentleman who has a similar dream of a letter from his sweetheart,
+may rest satisfied that he only possesses her heart. 28, 54, 1.</p>

+8, 70, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LIGHTNING"></a>LIGHTNING. To dream of bright and vivid white lightning, denotes
+that you will soon go on a pleasant trip or journey: blueish

+business; red forked lightning the same, but attended with calamity,
+or the death of relatives by violence. 24.</p>

+as far as the crops are concerned. 77, 5, 15.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LINEN"></a>LINEN. To dream you are arrayed in clean linen denotes that
+you will shortly receive some glad tidings; and that your sweetheart
+is faithful; if it is dirty, then it denotes poverty and disappointment
+in love. White linen, if dressed in it, presages death; colored linen,

+
+<p><a id="LION"></a>LION. If you dream of seeing the king of beasts, and if he is mild
+and gentle looking, it shows that you will easily rise in the world to
+a better position than you now occupy: to dream of an angry and
+roaring lion, who tries to get at you, shows, that although you may
+rise in position, jealous people will annoy and try to injure you. 14.</p>

+
+<p><a id="LIQUOR"></a>LIQUOR. If you dream of seeing large quantities of liquor, or of
+buying brandy, rum, whisky, &c., it foretells poverty and disgrace; to
+dream of drinking it is the same, only worse if possible. 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LIZARD"></a>LIZARD. To dream of lizards, is a sign you have secret enemies
+who will injure you if they can. If a girl dreams this, it shows that
+some one will question her virtue. 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LOG"></a>LOG. To dream of seeing large logs around, is a sign that you will
+soon move into a new house; but if you imagine that you are splitting
+the logs, it will spoil all this, for it shows that you will want a house

+and signifies that you will be surrounded with false friends, who will
+rob you until your property dwindles to a shadow. To dream you

+a looking-glass, it is a sign he will desert or seduce her. 18, 61.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LOSSES"></a>LOSSES. To dream of losing your hat is a sign you will entertain
+a large company, either by making a speech, or otherwise attracting
+their attention: dreaming of the loss of money, a watch, or any valuables
+of that kind, predicts that you will gain as much and perhaps
+more than your loss amounts to: if a girl dreams of losing her shoe-strings,
+she will be kissed by an agreeable young man; any article
+of clothing that you may dream of having lost, shows that you will
+rig yourself out in a new suit. 47, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LOTTERY"></a>LOTTERY. (<i>See <a href="#PRIZE">Prize</a>.</i>)</p>

+<p><a id="LOVE"></a>LOVE. To dream you are in love is a sign you will make a fool of
+yourself and do something silly, of which you may afterwards be
+ashamed—thus showing that the dream works contrariwise—for love
+is anything but a silly sentiment unless indulged in by fools. For a
+young girl to dream of falling in love foretells that she will be laughed
+at and ridiculed for some folly. 64, 52, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="LUCK"></a>LUCK. To imagine in your dream that you have had excellent
+luck, in any enterprise, predicts a misfortune: if a man has had a
+quarrel with his sweetheart, and dreams that it is all made up, he
+may be sure that the quarrel will continue a great deal longer than
+is agreeable to him: to a young lady, the sign is the same relative to
+her beau. 18.</p>
+

+
+<p><a id="MAGGOTS"></a>MAGGOTS. To dream of seeing any thing putrid and covered with

+as to dream that he or she was present at a happy and jolly wedding,
+it denotes that they will attend a funeral; it will not necessarily
+be at the burial of either of the persons you dreamed you saw
+married, but you will undoubtedly be called to mourn some friend or
+relative. To dream of being married yourself, foretells your death.
+2, 78, 42.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MASK"></a>MASK. To dream you see a person wearing a mask, is a sign of
+hypocrisy; to the lover, it shows that his sweetheart loves some one
+better than himself; to a girl, it signifies that her lover is engaged to
+another. To married people, it portends infidelity to the wedding-ring.
+46, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MASS"></a>MASS. To dream of going to this religious celebration, is a sign

+72, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MEANNESS"></a>MEANNESS. To dream you are treated in a mean and shabby

+
+<p><a id="MEASLES"></a>MEASLES. To dream you have this troublesome disorder shows
+that you will be fortunate, provided you engage in some disreputable

+
+<p><a id="METALS"></a>METALS. To dream of metals has different signification and interpretations

+a list of the metals with their explanations.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Brass.</span> To dream that you see a brass ornament, is a sign your

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Silver.</span> To dream that you are presented with spoons, or any
+silver plate for household use, foretells that you or some near relative,
+will shortly marry: if you dream of buying these articles, it is a

+commerce, is a sign that you will gain money either by a legacy or
+speculation. 49, 6.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Steel.</span> To break a piece in a dream, shows that you will overcome
+your enemies; if you only touch it, your position in life is
+secure; if you try to bend it, and cannot, you will meet with many
+serious accidents. 41, 50.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Tin.</span> To dream of tin is a good omen and signifies you will marry

+man, the love of a lady. If a newly married lady dream that she has
+a full breast of milk, it is a sign that she will be happily delivered of
+a fine child; to an old woman, it portends much money. 45, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MILL"></a>MILL. If you dream of going to a flouring-mill, where you see
+plenty of grain and flour, it is a good omen, as it shadows forth thrift
+and abundance; but to imagine in your dream that you are in any
+manufactory of cloth fabrics called a mill, is a sign of poverty and
+want. Girls who work in such places should be careful never to
+dream of them. 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MISER"></a>MISER. To dream of a miser is a sign of waste, loss or destruction:
+if you see him counting and hoarding money, it foretells you

+will talk lightly of her character. 78, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MONEY"></a>MONEY. (<i>See Purse and Pocket Book.</i>) To dream of finding money
+is an excellent omen, as it foretells that you will soon get some: if,
+in your dream, you see bank bills of a large denomination, or large
+gold pieces, the sign is similar: to see small pieces of money is not
+so good, though it is a pretty fair dream. To dream of receiving
+money is a good omen; in love, it foretells marriage and children.
+To dream you lose money, is a proof you will be unsuccessful in
+some favorite pursuit. 18, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MONKEY"></a>MONKEY. To dream that you see a monkey, and are pleased with
+his antics, shows that you will make the acquaintance of a fool. For

+also a sign of law suits and secret enemies. 17, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MOON"></a>MOON. To dream of a sharp new moon with horns pointing upwards

+seeing a half moon is fatal to the prospects of lovers. 19, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MOUNTAIN"></a>MOUNTAIN. To dream of approaching beautiful smooth-looking

+sure sign that some honor awaits you, or that you will make a good
+deal of money: difficulties in climbing show troubles and vexations
+in getting your honors or your money. 64.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MOTH"></a>MOTH. To dream of moth is a sign some one is robbing you, it
+also predicts slander by a supposed friend. To dream you see a
+moth burn its wings in a flame signifies that an enemy will die. 22.</p>

+sign she will do some generous act, or confer a benefit that will delight
+you: to dream of fondling your mother shadows forth her loss
+by death, or that you will be parted from her: if you dream she
+makes you a present, the dream will come true so far that she will
+probably present you with a new brother or sister. 46, 34.</p>

+mouse, or a number of mice, it foretells that you will soon have
+thieves in the house. For a girl to dream that she pets a mouse,
+shows that she will have a light-fingered or dishonest lover. 75, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MOUTH"></a>MOUTH. Dreaming of a large mouth and big lips is a sure sign
+you will be kissed by some one of the opposite sex: to dream of a
+mouth out of shape, or with a hare lip, denotes to a woman that she
+will have a deformed child, and to a man that he will get into a difficulty
+by means of his intimacy with a woman: to dream of a small
+mouth and thin lips is a sign of loud and angry words, and that some
+one will give you a scolding. 27, 6, 3.</p>

+
+<p><a id="MULE"></a>MULE. To dream of riding a mule, or driving one, is a sign of
+celibacy: gentlemen or ladies who dream this may safely calculate
+that they will live single for the rest of their lives, unless some more
+vivid dream with a favorable omen should counterbalance the influence
+of this one. If married people dream of mules, it foretells that
+they will be childless. 4, 51, 66.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MUSHROOM"></a>MUSHROOM. To dream you eat mushrooms is a sign you will live
+to a good old age, but to dream you see them grow, or gather them,
+is a sign you will get rich by a splendid speculation, and then get
+poor as suddenly as you got wealthy. 49, 59.</p>
+
+<p><a id="MUSIC"></a>MUSIC. (<i>See <a href="#SINGING">Singing</a>.</i>) To dream of hearing strains of sweet music,

+and danger of death: for a man to dream he bites his nails, shows
+quarrels and dissensions: to dream of paring your nails, foretells a
+lingering sickness. 57, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="NAKEDNESS"></a>NAKEDNESS. To dream you see a man naked, signifies fear and

+it is a sure sign she will bear many children: if it seems smaller than

+forebodes trouble through the conduct of a dependent. 32.</p>
+
+<p><a id="NEW"></a>NEW YEAR’S PRESENT. To dream you give a New Year’s

+are created a Duke, an Earl, or that they have conferred upon them

+of mischief; in love, quarrels; in trade, opposition. 5, 8, 48.</p>
+
+<p><a id="OPERA"></a>OPERA. To dream of going to the opera is a sign you will travel:
+if you hear a new singer that delights you, it foretells that you will
+make a new acquaintance on some journey: if an engaged young
+lady dreams of the opera, her wedding journey is thus shadowed
+forth. 27, 55.</p>
+

+near relative. 64.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ORANGE"></a>ORANGE. To dream of having an abundance of oranges, shadows
+forth that you will get just so much yellow gold: if you dream of

+and the fruit looks fair and tempting, and you eat of it, it fore<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">52</span>tells
+that you will shortly be engaged in some pleasant adventure
+either of love or intrigue: if you see rotten, wormy, or scraggy-looking
+apples, it shows that you will be thrown into mean and low company,
+much to your disgrace. Such dreams are bad ones for young
+girls. 18, 12.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ORGAN"></a>ORGAN. To dream of hearing the solemn and enchanting music
+of a church organ is a sad omen to young girls, as it foretells their
+early death: if a gentleman dreams this, it points to the death of
+some young girl in whom he takes an interest, and perhaps to his
+sweetheart, if he has one. To imagine you hear some lively tune on
+a street organ is also a bad omen, as it foretells that you will soon

+overflows its banks and surrounds your house with water, is a sign
+of wealth; that is, you will acquire riches in proportion to the quantity

+
+<p><a id="OYSTERS"></a>OYSTERS. If, in your dream, you imagine you are eating oysters,
+it denotes that you will have difficulties relative to money matters:
+but to rake them out of the water is a sign of money-getting: to
+dream of opening nice fat oysters for other people to eat is also a
+favorable omen, as it shows that you will have plenty of cash. 7, 53.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PAINTING"></a>PAINTING. To dream of painting your house is a sign of sickness
+in the family, but at the same time thrift and good luck in business:
+if, in your dream, you see a white house newly painted outside, you
+will probably soon be summoned to attend a funeral: to see any
+other colored house newly painted, foretells that you will hear of the
+sickness of a friend or relative: dreaming of beautiful paintings of
+landscapes, portraits, &c., is an omen of bad luck and poverty. 22,
+11, 5.</p>
+
+<p>PALL-BEARER. For a man to dream that he is a pall-bearer at a
+funeral, denotes that he will be married within a year: to dream of

+
+<p><a id="PANCAKE"></a>PANCAKE. (<i>See Thick.</i>) For a girl to dream of baking pancakes,
+is a sign that some gentleman is in love with her; and if a married
+woman has such a dream, she may be sure that some man, other
+than her husband, admires her; to dream of eating pancakes, foretells
+falling in love, to either sex; and if you relish them, you will be successful
+in your love. 36.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PANTALOONS"></a>PANTALOONS. If you dream you have a new pair of pantaloons,
+it is a sign you will be prosperous; if they do not fit, and are too
+tight, it is a sign you will be pinched in money matters; if they are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">53</span>
+dark, it is a sign of long life, but if light, it denotes sickness. Young
+girls should try and not dream about pantaloons, for such an omen
+is very dangerous to them. 46, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PANTHER"></a>PANTHER. To dream that you see one of these animals, and are
+terrified by it, shows that you will be disgusted at the ingratitude of
+a friend you have served: if, in your dream, you see a tame panther,
+and caress it, it foretells that you have some ungrateful person in
+your household, (perhaps a servant,) or else a false-hearted friend. 41.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PAPER"></a>PAPER. To dream of smooth paper, is a good omen; but if it appears

+
+<p><a id="PARADE"></a>PARADE. To dream of a parade of soldiers, and that you are delighted
+with the military display, foretells that some one will deceive
+you: to a business man it is an omen of losses by bad debts or dull
+trade: to a young girl it foreshadows a gay but false lover: to a
+married woman it is a sign that her husband, though kind, will be
+false to his vows. 58, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARASOL"></a>PARASOL. If a young woman dreams she has got a new parasol,
+it predicts for her a new lover: if she imagines she has broken her
+parasol, her lover (if she has one) will leave her; if not, then some
+male friend, in whom she placed confidence or derived advantage,
+will fail her: to a married woman, dreaming of a broken parasol is a
+very bad omen, as it predicts ruin to her husband. 34.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARDON"></a>PARDON. To dream of asking pardon for an offence, is a bad
+omen under any circumstances, as it foretells humiliation and disgrace:
+for a criminal to imagine, in his dream, that the Governor has
+pardoned him, is a sign that he will not only not be pardoned, but
+that he will suffer much remorse and unhappiness in his imprisonment.
+19, 3, 40.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARROT"></a>PARROT. To dream that you are pleased with the chattering of
+one of these birds, is a sign that some deceitful person will flatter
+you: if an engaged young girl has such a dream, she should look
+sharp to the antecedents of her lover before marriage, as it is ten to
+one that he is not worthy of her confidence: the dream may, however,
+point to some other flatterer. 15, 2, 33.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARTING"></a>PARTING. To dream of parting from friends with regret, is a sign
+of disappointment: if a girl dreams that her lover is going away anywhere,
+and she feels bad when he takes his leave, it predicts that he
+will not “go raving distracted with delight” the next time he comes
+to see her, and she will consequently be disappointed at his supposed
+coolness; but all this may not amount to anything more than to make
+her feel bad for the time being. 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARTNER"></a>PARTNER. (<i>See <a href="#BALL">Ball</a>.</i>) To dream that your partner in a dance
+slights or snubs you, is a sign that some one is enamored of you:
+this applies to either sex: if you dream of a particularly agreeable
+and attractive partner, it shows that you will quarrel with somebody
+of the opposite sex: for a man in business to dream of taking a partner,
+foretells that he will be robbed. 17, 38.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PARTY"></a>PARTY. To dream of giving a large and sumptuous party to your<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">54</span>

+distress. 77, 18, 42.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PASTURE"></a>PASTURE. (<i>See <a href="#CATTLE">Cattle</a>.</i>) To dream of seeing cattle feeding in a
+green and rich pasture, foretells thrift and wealth: if the grass is
+sun-burnt and only green in patches, and the cattle look lean, the
+sign is the reverse; and such a dream denotes short crops to farmers.
+6, 11, 66.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PATCHES"></a>PATCHES. For a woman to dream of patching the clothes of her
+husband or children, is an excellent omen, as it denotes that each
+patch will be a good lump of money brought into the family. 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PATENT"></a>PATENT RIGHT. To dream of procuring a patent for an invention
+of your own, shows that you will never realize anything from it:
+if money is to be made by it, some one else will get the benefit: if
+you dream of getting a patent for some other person, it is a sign of
+good luck in a speculation. 33, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PATHS"></a>PATHS. To dream you are walking in a broad, good pathway,
+denotes health and success; in love it shows you will meet with a
+sweetheart, who will make you happy, but if the path is crooked
+it foretells trouble to the dreamer. 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PAUPER"></a>PAUPER. To dream that you visit the poor-house and see the inmates,
+is a sign to a woman that she will bear many children, and to

+foretells that she will be apt to become a mother before she is a wife. 21.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PAWNBROKER"></a>PAWNBROKER. If you dream of pawning any of your goods at
+a pawnbroker’s, provided you have never patronized such a place,
+it foretells that fortune is about to smile on you, and if you take advantage
+of the circumstance, you will surely get rich. To lazy and
+shiftless people, such a dream would not be of much account. 4,
+11, 22.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PEACHES"></a>PEACHES. To dream of fine, ripe, yellow peaches, denotes that
+you will get just so much yellow gold, which makes this dream a
+splendid one for gold-diggers: if the peaches you dream about are
+very red, or look small and wilted, it shows that your gold will turn
+out to be about half copper, or that your luck will not amount to
+much. 17, 1, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PEACOCK"></a>PEACOCK. To dream of this proud bird, is a sign of poverty; if
+you imagine that he spreads his tail, and exhibits all his finery, so
+much the worse. For a girl to dream of a peacock, shows that she
+will have an empty-headed fop for a lover, who will turn out to be as
+poor as a rat. 65, 54.</p>
+

+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">55</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="PEARLS"></a>PEARLS. To dream of these gems, denotes poverty and misery;
+if a girl dreams that a lover gives her a piece of jewelry set in pearls,
+it shows that he will never be well off; and if she imagines that he
+presents her with a string or necklace of pearls, she may safely calculate
+that he will turn out to be a wretchedly poor man. 56.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PEARS"></a>PEARS. To dream of ripe, mellow pears, portends elevation in
+life, riches, honors, and constancy in love. If a woman with child

+choke-pears, is a sign of misfortunes, and inconstancy in love.
+33.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PEDDLER"></a>PEDDLER. If you dream of buying things of a peddler, it is a
+sign that some one will cheat you, or that one of your debtors will
+mysteriously disappear, which amounts to about the same thing: if
+a lady housekeeper dreams this, let her look sharp that her servants
+do not rob or swindle her in some way. 42, 13.</p>
+
+<p>PEN-KNIFE. To dream of a pen-knife, is a bad omen, and foretells
+loss in trade, attacks by thieves, and unfaithfulness in love.
+29, 47.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PENS"></a>PENS. To dream of writing with a steel pen, is a sign you will
+get yourself into a bad scrape, by tattling about your friends and
+neighbors. If the pen be gold, it foreshadows good news, and success
+in business and love affairs. To dream you are making a quill
+pen, is a sign you have many enemies, but that you will triumph
+over them, and be successful in all you undertake. But this dream
+does not amount to much, as it is only a “set-off” to dreaming of a
+pen-knife, which is a bad omen. 28, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PEPPERS"></a>PEPPERS. To dream of picking pepper-pods, foretells to married
+people smart children, if they have any. A girl who dreams this,

+either as a sweetheart or wife. 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PERFUMERY"></a>PERFUMERY. To dream of pleasant and delicate perfumes, foreshadows
+sluttish habits in a woman: if a lover dreams of perfumes

+or by perjury in court, is a sign that you will discover some friend

+lover. 52.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PET"></a>PET. If a girl dreams she has a pet animal of any kind, (a child,
+of course, excepted,) it is a sign she will never marry: if she dreams
+of a pet child, or one whom she adores, it foretells for her a prolific
+marriage. 49.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PHYSIC"></a>PHYSIC. (<i>See <a href="#MEDICINE">Medicine</a>.</i>) In a dream-book published 1751, is this
+prediction: “If any man doth dreme he taketh much physicke, it
+foretelleth a bad lyver, and a quarell with ye doctor; but a virgin
+who dremeth this dreme, will marry ye doctor first, and quarell
+thereafter.” 37, 8.</p>

+poverty; it is a bad omen for a girl to dream she has got a new
+piano. 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PICKLES"></a>PICKLES. If a girl dreams of eating pickles, it is a sign some old

+beloved by a maid older than himself, and probably of a sour and
+crabbed temper. 39, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PICNIC"></a>PICNIC. For a young man to dream of going with a pic-nic party
+into the woods, is a sign that some silly girl will fall in love with

+her attentions and compliments merely to gratify his own vanity.
+37, 12.</p>

+
+<p><a id="PIGS"></a>PIGS. To dream of seeing pigs is good; if you are in trade you

+some article will either fall in the fire or be damaged by it—perhaps
+your servant may spoil some clothing while ironing. 5, 11, 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PISTOL"></a>PISTOL. To dream of arming yourself with a pistol foretells that

+a fool. 64, 50.</p>
+

+
+<p><a id="PRESENT"></a>PRESENT. (<i>See <a href="#GIFT">Gift</a>.</i>) To dream of receiving a present, is usually
+a sign of disappointment; but if a married woman dreams that she is
+presented with fruit, it shows that she will soon become pregnant: if
+a girl imagines she is presented by her lover with gold jewelry, it

+heart. 64, 21.</p>

+must put it in her mouth on awaking, and make a wish, and she will
+realize it within one month, provided it relates to love matters: a wish
+of any other kind will doubtless come true some time or other, as
+the omen is an excellent one: if a lady dreams she pricks herself with
+a pin, the omen is not so good. (<i>See <a href="#PINS">Pin</a> and <a href="#BRIARS">Briar</a>.</i>) 498.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PRIEST"></a>PRIEST. To dream that a priest offers you service, or visits you

+his advancement. 46.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PRIZE"></a>PRIZE. To dream of drawing a prize in the lottery, is a sign of

+
+<p><a id="PROCESSION"></a>PROCESSION. To dream of seeing a long military or civic procession,

+performance of the ceremony. 3.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">60</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="PROPERTY"></a>PROPERTY. To dream of the loss of property, is a sign of good

+
+<p><a id="PROSTITUTE"></a>PROSTITUTE. For a young man to dream of associating with

+
+<p><a id="PROUD"></a>PROUD. To dream of proud people who disgust you, foretells that
+you will rise in the world: a girl who dreams this of her lover, will

+
+<p><a id="PUDDING"></a>PUDDING. To dream of a hard-boiled plum pudding, or a hard
+roll of pudding of any kind, is a sign you will be invited to a dinner
+party; but if you imagine the pudding looks soft and mussy, it foretells
+that you will go to some entertainment where there will be a
+row. 19, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PULPIT"></a>PULPIT. If any one dreams of going into a pulpit, it is a sign he
+or she will visit a place of disrepute, as such dreams work contrariwise:
+for a girl to dream that she assists in ornamenting or dressing
+a pulpit, foretells that she will do some act that she afterwards regrets,
+because of an unworthy person being connected therewith. 62.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PUMP"></a>PUMP. Dreaming of a pump is an excellent omen: if you dream

+of sickness. 29, 4, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PUNCH"></a>PUNCH. To dream of making this beverage, or of drinking it, is
+a sign of poverty or disgrace; if a girl dreams that her lover treats

+
+<p><a id="PURSE"></a>PURSE. To dream of finding an empty purse, shadows forth disappointment;

+large gold pieces, or large bills, you will become rich either by marriage
+or inheritance. 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PUTTY"></a>PUTTY. To dream of putty, is a sign of poverty: puttying up

+6, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="PUZZLE"></a>PUZZLE. To dream of bothering your brains with a puzzle, foretells

+a sign that some silly person will do you an unintentional injury.
+21, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUAIL"></a>QUAIL. To dream of these birds is a good omen: if you imagine
+you see young quail feeding, it is a sign of thrift, particularly to far<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">61</span>mers:
+to be successful in shooting them in the proper season, also
+foretells good luck and success in any undertaking. 76, 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUAKER"></a>QUAKER. To dream of business intercourse with genuine broad-brims,
+is a sign you will make a bad bargain. If, in your dream,
+you see a concourse of quakers, it foretells that you will not be fortunate
+in business matters. This omen is supposed to be predicated
+on the fact that the Quakers monopolize all the good chances when
+they are around. 24, 30.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUARREL"></a>QUARREL. To dream of quarreling with a stranger, is a sign
+you will make a new friend or acquaintance; if you imagine that you
+quarrel with a friend, it shows that you will soon have a pleasant
+and agreeable time with him: lovers who dream of quarrels, will be
+apt to bill and coo harder than ever. 2, 12, 24.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUEEN"></a>QUEEN. For a man to dream of seeing a queen, foretells the loss

+best success in love matters. 71, 54.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUINCES"></a>QUINCES. To dream of quinces, is an excellent omen: if you
+imagine you are gathering quinces from trees full of fine-looking, yellow
+ones, it predicts that you will get just so much yellow gold,
+which will be a fortune. 49, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="QUOITS"></a>QUOITS. If a man dreams he is playing quoits, it is a sign he will

+is not a good omen to lovers. 57, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RABBITS"></a>RABBITS. To dream of these animals, foretells many small children:
+if a newly married woman dreams of them it is a sign that she will
+have twins or triplets within a year: such a dream will not be very
+pleasant to a young girl unless she means to marry right sudden, for
+rabbits do not predict anything else but breeding children. 44, 13.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RACCOON"></a>RACCOON. To dream of simply treeing a raccoon, is a good omen,
+for you will probably either gain a sum of money, or have it left to
+you as a legacy: if you imagine that you shoot the animal, and he
+falls to the ground, this will spoil the luck; you should stop dreaming
+as soon as the ’coon is up the tree. 61, 12.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RACES"></a>RACES. (<i>See <a href="#RUN">Run</a>.</i>) To dream of running a race on foot and winning

+poverty and shiftlessness. 46, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RADISHES"></a>RADISHES. To dream of this vegetable, signifies that a secret
+will be discovered, which will occasion a muss in the family. To a
+girl, it is a sign she will lose her beau, and to a lover, it foreshadows
+he will be “cut out” by some other nice young man. 38, 13.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAFFLE"></a>RAFFLE. Raffling in your dream is the same as gambling; it
+foretells poverty and disgrace: to dream of raffling for poultry is a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">62</span>
+sign that your family (if you have one) will want bread; if you are
+single, it shows that you will be apt to get seedy and loaferish. 8, 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAFT"></a>RAFT. To dream of seeing a raft foretells a journey—the longer
+the raft, the more extensive the line of travel: if you dream of sailing
+on a raft, it is a sign you will travel, with good success, in distant
+countries. 10.</p>
+

+consequence of a mishap, or disagreeable event, it is a sign that some
+pleasant episode in connection therewith will occur to put you in an
+excellent humor, as such dreams work contrariwise. 44, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAGGED"></a>RAGGED. To dream that your clothes are ragged, indicates that
+a young girl will banter you: if, in your dream, you see ragged people,

+with a party of ladies and gentlemen. Rags and ridicule go together
+in dreams. 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAILROAD"></a>RAILROAD. To dream of traveling by railroad, foretells to people
+who keep house that they will break up their establishment: to
+young persons it indicates the loss of their home: to lovers it is a
+sign that if they marry they will not keep house long, if at all. 3,
+11, 33.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAIN"></a>RAIN. To dream of a gentle rain is a good omen, as it foretells
+success in any undertaking: if you dream of a violent rain-storm
+accompanied by wind and thunder and lightning, it predicts much
+trouble and misfortune, though ultimate success in your undertakings.
+21, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAINBOW"></a>RAINBOW. It is an excellent dream to imagine you see a brilliant
+rainbow—the brighter the better: it denotes health and general prosperity:
+to lovers it foretells a happy marriage, and riches. A young
+girl who dreams of a rainbow will either get an agreeable lover or a
+present. 45.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAKING"></a>RAKING. For a girl to dream of raking newly mown hay, is a
+sign she will be married before the hay is eaten: young fellows who
+dream of raking hay with their sweethearts had better get ready
+their necks for the matrimonial noose, as they are past praying for.
+4, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAM"></a>RAM. To dream that a ram runs at you for butting purposes,
+shadows forth to a young man that his society will be coveted by
+the girls, and that he will be fortunate in love matters generally: if
+a girl dreams this, she will probably have her choice of lovers, as all
+the young fellows around there will fall in love with her: if the ram
+succeeds in butting her, she will surely be taken captive and brought
+as Cupid’s prisoner into the matrimonial ranks. 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RAPE"></a>RAPE. If a female (married or single) dreams of an outrage on her
+person, (whether attempted, or successful,) it is a sign that some one
+of the opposite sex is in love with her: if she is married, the dream
+alludes to some man other than her husband. Such dreams bode no
+good. 31.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RASPBERRIES"></a>RASPBERRIES. To dream of an abundance of this fruit is a sign
+of health and riches: if you dream you are eating raspberries, it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">63</span>
+shows that you will be engaged in some enterprise that will bring
+you in a good deal of cash, most of which will be spent lavishly. 3,
+66.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RATS"></a>RATS. (<i>See <a href="#TRAP">Trap</a> and <a href="#MOUSE">Mouse</a>.</i>) To dream of rats is a sign that
+thieves are around: if you see any of these animals, it shows that
+some friend will be robbed, but if you hear them gnawing, you will
+suffer a loss from robbery yourself. If a girl, who has a lover, dreams
+of rats, she had better be careful and not let him be too free with her
+person, or he may rob her of that which cannot be restored. 54, 21.</p>
+

+
+<p><a id="READING"></a>READING. To dream you are reading, indicates you will be successful

+succeed without exertion, 65, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="REAPING"></a>REAPING. (<i>See <a href="#HARVEST">Harvest</a>.</i>) To dream of reaping grain is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells thrift and abundance, as well as plenty of
+money in gold; this applies to a prolific field of ripe yellow grain; if
+the grain is meagre and looks rusty, the sign is entirely different, as
+it betokens scarcity and penury. 4, 11, 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RELATIONS"></a>RELATIONS. If you dream of being annoyed at home by your
+relations, it is a sign that you will be the subject of much scandal:
+if, on the contrary, you imagine that your relatives visit you and give
+you great pleasure by their society, it foretells that you are talked
+about a good deal, but always with respect and veneration. 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RELIGIOUS"></a>RELIGIOUS. For any one to dream of becoming religious, foretells
+that they will be cheated or swindled in some way, as such a dream
+works contrariwise: if you dream that a minister, or any religious
+person, exhorts you to become pious, you had better look out sharp,
+for some rogue is around, contriving how to victimize you. 54.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RENT"></a>RENT. To dream of paying your rent foretells that you will get
+some money unexpectedly; but if you dream that you owe it, without
+having the money to pay, and are worried in consequence, it
+foreshadows a loss of property. 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="REPRIEVE"></a>REPRIEVE. If a criminal under sentence of death dream of a
+reprieve or pardon, he may make up his mind that it is all over with
+him; and if any friend, who is interested in his fate, dreams this, it
+amounts to about the same thing. 76, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="REPTILE"></a>REPTILE. To dream of any animal that is called a reptile, such
+as snakes, toads, alligators, and the like, is a sign of a quarrel: if you

+a reptile, let her look sharp that her lover don’t play her false. 34, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RESCUE"></a>RESCUE. If you dream of rescuing anyone from peril, it is a sign
+you will rise in the world, either by means of increased wealth, or
+new honors: to dream that you are rescued from drowning or from
+any other mode of death, shows that you will go into some successful
+business speculation with a partner. To lovers, such a dream foretells
+a speedy and happy union. 64, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RESIGN"></a>RESIGN. If a person who holds an office, or a trust of any kind,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">64</span>

+position in society. 41, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RESUSCITATE"></a>RESUSCITATE. To dream of resuscitating a drowned person,

+forth marriage with a lady of public fame. 16, 9, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="REVENGE"></a>REVENGE. To dream of revenging an injury, is a sign of disgrace:

+<p><a id="REVIVAL"></a>REVIVAL. To dream of a religious revival, or of being where a

+
+<p><a id="REWARD"></a>REWARD. To dream of receiving a reward for any act which is
+a public benefit, such as detecting a criminal, is a sign that you will

+<p><a id="RHEUMATISM"></a>RHEUMATISM. To dream of this painful disease, is an omen of
+health: if you imagine a friend is thus afflicted, it shows that he
+will soon offer to do you a favor, or benefit you in some way. 52, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RHINOCEROS"></a>RHINOCEROS. To dream of this East India animal, denotes success
+to the man of business, but disappointment in love matters; but
+to dream they injure you, is unfavorable to the dreamer. If you
+dream you see one dead, you’ll soon leave a relative. 47.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RIBBONS"></a>RIBBONS. For a girl to dream that she has got new, and beautiful
+ribbons on her bonnet or dress, is a sign some one will flatter her to
+her disadvantage: if she does not like the ribbon, it shows that she
+will hear of some scandal relative to herself; and if the ribbon is
+red, the scandal will impeach her chastity. 39, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RICE"></a>RICE. To dream of eating rice, denotes health: if you imagine
+that you see large quantities of rice, it foretells to one who does not
+live in a rice country, a successful and pleasant journey; and to
+those who live there, it predicts gain and riches. 12, 2, 24.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RICH"></a>RICH. To dream you are rich or that you have inherited a fortune,
+is a sign of poverty and bad luck; but if you imagine that
+some one pays you large sums of money enough to make you rich,
+your dream will be realized so far that you will acquire property. If
+a person dreams that a legacy is paid to him in money, it has an entirely
+different meaning from a dream that you are enriched from a
+legacy, but do not see the money. 15, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RIDING"></a>RIDING. (<i>See Carriage, Stage-coach, and Gig.</i>) To dream you are
+riding, if it be with a woman, is unfortunate: in trade, decay of business;
+in love, disappointments; but if it be with men, then, by care,
+the reverse of these things will happen. Riding in a railcar, or a
+stage, foretells success in business matters. 6, 12, 72.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">65</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="RING"></a>RING. For a lady to dream that a gentleman presents her with a
+ring, or that she has a ring belonging to a gentleman, is a sign of a
+wedding. If a young man dreams that he has got a lady’s ring, the
+omen is similar. To dream of finding a ring, foretells that the person
+finding it will marry within a year. 4, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RIOT"></a>RIOT. To dream of a public tumult or riot, is a sign of scarcity
+and bad crops to farmers, and dull business to tradesmen and mechanics:
+if any friend or relative is injured in the riot, you or they
+will probably suffer from misfortune, but if they are successful and
+pacify the crowd, it foretells that you will overcome your difficulties.
+2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RIVAL"></a>RIVAL. For a lover to dream that he has a rival who annoys him,
+is a sign that he is in high favor with his sweetheart; such a dream
+to a young lady has a similar omen, and she has only to name the
+happy day to settle the matter to her mind. 1, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RIVER"></a>RIVER. To dream of crossing a large and clear river, foretells a
+splendid fortune: if the water is muddy or riled, it predicts difficulties,
+but they will be overcome provided you get safe over the river
+without accident. If a girl dreams this, it is a sign she will travel
+somewhere and get a rich husband. 34, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROBBERY"></a>ROBBERY. (<i>See <a href="#THIEF">Thief</a> and <a href="#STEALING">Stealing</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROBIN"></a>ROBIN. To dream of seeing robins around your house, is a good
+omen, as it foretells abundance to farmers and success to any one; if
+you do not see them, but hear them trilling, it foreshadows sickness,
+and perhaps death. 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROCKET"></a>ROCKET. To dream of seeing rockets flying in the air, foretells
+joy and gladness at some event about to happen: to married people
+it denotes the birth of a child, or the marriage of a daughter if they
+have one old enough. If a young girl dreams of seeing a rocket,
+she needn’t trouble herself further, as her speedy marriage is certain.
+15.</p>
+
+<p>ROCKING-CHAIR. (<i>See <a href="#CHAIR">Chair</a>.</i>)</p>

+
+<p><a id="ROOSTER"></a>ROOSTER. (<i>See <a href="#COCK">Cock</a>.</i>) If a girl dreams of hearing a cock crow,
+it foretells that she will soon have a new lover; if a lover dreams
+this, it is a sign that he has a formidable rival: if a married man or
+woman dreams of roosters, it shows that some outsider is enamored
+of the wife. 10, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROSE"></a>ROSE. To dream of roses is a sign of troubles: the old saying
+that every rose has its thorn, is exemplified in such a dream, because
+every rose you see brings along a trouble: dreaming of white roses
+signifies a marriage which will bring much vexation. 47, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROSEMARY"></a>ROSEMARY. To the married, denotes loss of their mates and
+children; to the lover, trouble through his or her sweetheart. 49, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROTTEN"></a>ROTTEN. To dream of rotten things of any kind (except eggs),

+foreshadows disgrace. 35.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ROWING"></a>ROWING. To dream of rowing a boat in clear water, is a sign of
+good luck generally: if the water is muddy, it shows trouble and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">66</span>
+difficulties which may be overcome; if a lover dreams of rowing
+a boat with his lady-love in it, he will doubtless make a happy
+match, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RUDDER"></a>RUDDER. To dream of a broken rudder in a boat or vessel in
+which you are sailing, foretells that one of the persons who you
+imagine are in the boat, will be drowned, or come to a sudden death.
+27, 75.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RUIN"></a>RUIN. If you dream that you are looking at old ruins, or castles,
+or buildings, it is a sign you will travel in distant countries: to
+dream of the ruins of a house that has been burnt down, foretells
+that you will experience a loss of property: if, in your dream, you
+see the ruins of a house that has fallen down, it denotes the death
+of a friend or acquaintance. 5, 12, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RUN"></a>RUN. (<i>See <a href="#RACES">Race</a>.</i>) To dream of running swift, is a sign of good
+success in your undertakings; but if you stumble or fall, it denotes
+accidents or misfortune: if you imagine that you see people run,
+while you are still, it foretells disappointment. 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RUST"></a>RUST. To dream of rust is a bad omen: rusty knives, or tools of
+any kind, denote the destruction of property: rusty pails or utensils
+are so many signs of poverty. 54.</p>
+
+<p><a id="RYE"></a>RYE. To dream of this grain is a sign you will be fortunate in
+money matters; it also foretells success in love affairs: to the married
+it foreshadows domestic happiness. 69.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SAFFRON"></a>SAFFRON. To dream of gathering saffron, or of drinking a decoction
+of the herb, is a sign of health and wealth: if the flowers that
+you gather look clear and healthy, it foretells that you will get just so
+much gold. 19, 24.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SAILING"></a>SAILING. To dream of fair sailing on clear water, is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells abundance and success: heavy winds that endanger
+your boat, or muddy waters, point out difficulties which will
+probably be overcome. (<i>See <a href="#BOAT">Boat</a>, <a href="#YACHT">Yacht</a> and <a href="#SHIP">Ship</a>.</i>) 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SAUSAGES"></a>SAUSAGES. To dream of eating fried sausages, foretells that you
+will come in contact with some person who is very poor, and
+will be disagreeable to you: a girl who dreams this, will be very sure
+to get a shiftless and needy lover, and perhaps marry him if she is
+in much of a hurry to get married. 38, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SAWING"></a>SAWING. To dream of sawing wood, or boards, foretells that you
+will do something that you will afterwards regret: if a young fellow
+dreams this, he will probably offer some indignity to his sweetheart,
+which he will find it hard work to get overlooked. 3, 17, 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCAFFOLD"></a>SCAFFOLD. To dream of going upon a high scaffold, shows that
+you will rise in the world: if, in your dream, you imagine that you
+fall from a scaffold, or from any high place, it shadows forth a misfortune
+that will make you poorer: a girl who dreams of climbing upon
+a scaffold, will positively marry a rich man, or one of distinction, who
+is far above her in position. 33, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCALDED"></a>SCALDED. To dream of being scalded with hot water, is usually a
+sign of injuries by the elements; it may foretell losses by floods, by
+fire, or by winds, or by thunder-storms: if you dream of scalding<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">67</span>
+your tongue with hot tea, it is a sign that you will scandalize a neighbor
+with some ill-natured remark. 3, 12, 36.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCALES"></a>SCALES. To dream you are weighing any article, is a good omen,
+and signifies that you will be happy and long-lived; but to dream
+you see another using the scales, is a sign you will be ruined by law-suits.
+68, 40.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCARCITY"></a>SCARCITY. To dream of a scarcity of anything is a sign that some
+of the article dreamed about is on its way to you; as if a farmer were
+to dream of a scarcity of hay, it shows that his next hay crop will be
+very abundant; or, if a girl should dream of a scarcity of compliments,
+she will probably be overwhelmed by them from gentlemen, when
+she next goes into company. 27, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCHOOL"></a>SCHOOL. To dream of attending school, is a sign of advancement
+and good fortune: if you dream of studying, and succeed well, it
+shadows forth that you will rise to a position in society above your
+present one: if you find it difficult to learn, you will have trouble in
+getting along, but will rise at last. 42, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCISSORS"></a>SCISSORS. To dream of a pair of scissors, is a sign of a marriage;
+if a girl dreams of them she will positively be married within a year:
+to a married woman such a dream is a bad omen, as it denotes some
+gay seducer will flatter her, and probably succeed in enticing her
+from the path of virtue. Here is an old prediction in rhyme: 47.</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">To dream of scissors—a full pair,</div>
+ <div class="verse indent2">Tells a fair maid that soon she’ll marry;</div>
+ <div class="verse">But to a wife it doth declare</div>
+ <div class="verse indent2">Her chastity will e’en miscarry!</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p><a id="SCOLD"></a>SCOLD. For a man to dream he has a scolding, shrewish wife, is
+a sign that he will be lucky in everything he undertakes: if a lover
+dreams that his sweetheart scolds at him, it is a sign that her love is
+strong and unalterable. 65, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCRATCH"></a>SCRATCH. To dream of having your face scratched, is a sign that
+somebody has been disparaging your good looks: if a girl imagines
+in her dream that she has scratched herself with a pin, it foretells
+that scandal is afloat relative to her conduct with her lover, or some
+other gentleman. 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCREW"></a>SCREW. To dream of a small screw, is a good sign, and indicates
+success in all you undertake; but to dream of a large bed-screw portends
+trouble brought about by love affairs. 4, 11, 44.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SCYTHE"></a>SCYTHE. (<i>See <a href="#HUSBANDRY">Husbandry</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="SEA"></a>SEA. To dream of going to sea in a ship or steamer, is a sign that
+you will be fortunate in money matters: storms and perils at sea foretell
+difficulties which may be overcome: if you dream you are seasick,
+it denotes continued health. If a girl dreams of going to sea,
+and having a pleasant voyage, she will marry rich, and love her husband;
+but storms and perils point to quarrels with him. 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SECRET"></a>SECRET. If a young girl dreams that a friend has intrusted her
+with an important secret, it is a sign that the friend will become her
+enemy: if her lover tells her a secret, they will surely quarrel within<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">68</span>
+a week; if she dreams of disclosing a secret to a friend, she will be
+much vexed at some scandal that is afloat respecting her. 4, 2, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SEDUCER"></a>SEDUCER. If a young woman dreams that her lover’s conduct is
+that of a gay seducer, she will find him to be very sincere in his attachment:
+a married woman who dreams that she is over-persuaded
+by a seducer to yield to his desires, will come to much honor, as such
+dreams work contrariwise. If a man dreams of seducing a virtuous
+girl, it foreshadows that he will be disgraced. 35, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SEGAR"></a>SEGAR. (<i>See <a href="#TOBACCO">Tobacco</a>.</i>) To dream you are smoking a segar, is a
+sign you will have misfortunes and troubles with your business matters:
+if you imagine the fire of your segar goes out, it is a sign you will
+meet with losses: in love matters this dream is a bad omen. 49, 7, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SEPARATION"></a>SEPARATION. If a woman dreams that she is about to live separate
+from her husband, it promises that she will shortly find herself
+in the family way: such a dream to a man is a sign that some woman
+or girl, other than his wife, is in love with him. 26, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SERVANTS"></a>SERVANTS. (<i>See <a href="#DOMESTICS">Domestics</a>.</i>) To dream that you are robbed by
+your servants, is a sign that some one among them that you think
+the most of is deceiving you: if, in your dream, you imagine you
+have had your silver stolen by a servant, it shows that you will have
+a difficulty, and discharge one who will be replaced by a dishonest
+person. 71, 40, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHARK"></a>SHARK. To dream of seeing a shark in the water, is an excellent
+omen, as it foretells that you will escape a great danger that menaces
+you: if you dream of capturing the shark, you will soon thereafter
+get a big lump of money. Catching fish of any kind foretells money-getting.
+31.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHAVE"></a>SHAVE. For a man to dream that he is shaving, is a sign he will
+get in debt: to dream that any one shaved you in a bargain, foretells
+that some debt will be paid to you which you had given up as lost.
+5, 7, 54.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHAWL"></a>SHAWL. If a girl dreams of getting a new shawl, it foretells that
+she will soon have a new beau who will be very attentive and affable.
+3, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHEEP"></a>SHEEP. To dream of large flocks of sheep, is a sign of thrift and
+abundance, particularly to farmers, to whom the omen promises large
+crops: if many of the sheep have young lambs, it foretells domestic
+happiness and an excellent crop of children. 12, 5, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHELL"></a>SHELL. (<i>See <a href="#OYSTERS">Oysters</a> and <a href="#CLAMS">Clams</a>.</i>) To dream you find an empty
+shell is a sign you will meet with losses in business, but if, in your
+dream, you imagine the shell to be full, it foretells you will be successful
+in all your undertakings. If you dream you are opening any kind
+of shell fish for others to eat it foreshadows that you will have plenty
+of funds. 19, 53.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHERIFF"></a>SHERIFF. If you dream the sheriff is after you with a writ, or a
+warrant, and that you dodge and escape him, it is a sign of bad luck
+and losses; but if he arrests and locks you up in prison, it foretells
+that some good fortune is coming. Soon after such a dream you will
+be lucky in anything you undertake. 62, 21.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">69</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="SHIFT"></a>SHIFT. (<i>See <a href="#LINEN">Linen</a> and <a href="#SMOCK">Smock</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHIP"></a>SHIP. To dream of seeing a ship under full sail, while you stand
+on the shore, is a sign you will soon fall in love with a pretty girl,
+who will favor your addresses; but if you see this ship while you
+are on the water in some other vessel, it shows that your sweetheart
+will be jealous of you. To dream of being shipwrecked and losing
+your property, foretells good luck in business matters, but quarrels
+in love affairs. 29, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHIRT"></a>SHIRT. To dream that your shirt is ragged and without buttons,
+is a sign of poverty: if you imagine that you have a new shirt, with
+a stylish bosom, it foretells some disagreeable adventure in which
+your self-esteem will be keenly wounded, such as being placed in a
+ridiculous position before ladies, or before company in public. 44, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHOES"></a>SHOES. (<i>See <a href="#BOOTS">Boots</a>.</i>) If you dream that one of your shoes has a
+hole in it, it foretells that your sweetheart will offend you by favoring
+a supposed rival: if a girl dreams this, her lover will be jealous of
+her: for a young man to dream that he has lost a shoe-string, is a
+sign that he will be kissed by a lady with whom he had no previous
+acquaintance. 33.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SHROUD"></a>SHROUD. (<i>See <a href="#CORPSE">Corpse</a>.</i>) To dream of a shroud is a sign of a wedding:
+to see, in your dream, a woman laid out in her shroud, foretells
+to a young person that he or she will either be present at a
+marriage, or will become a victim of Cupid’s archery. 39, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SICKNESS"></a>SICKNESS. (<i>See <a href="#DISEASE">Disease</a>.</i>) If you dream you have had a long sickness,
+and are recovering, it foretells bad luck and difficulties: should
+you imagine that you are sick and are going to die, the omen is the
+reverse, for some good fortune awaits you: if a girl dreams that she
+is sick abed, and her lover visits her, it foretells a smooth courtship
+and happy marriage. 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SILKS"></a>SILKS. For a lady to dream of silks and satins, and that she is
+having fine dresses made of those fabrics, foretells poverty and want:
+if she imagines that she is presented with a plain cheap dress, and is
+pleased with the present, it is a sign she will have some excellent
+luck; but if she dislikes it, it shows that she will refuse an offer that
+will cause her after regrets. 8, 7, 56.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SILVER"></a>SILVER. (<i>See <a href="#METALS">Metals</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="SINGING"></a>SINGING. To dream of singing solemn music in a choir, is a sign
+of the death of a young girl who is your esteemed friend or relative:
+to lovers, such a dream foretells the loss of sweethearts: if you imagine
+you are singing some lively tune by yourself, it is a sign of sorrow,
+though it may not be connected with any death. 34, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SINGLE"></a>SINGLE. If a married woman dreams that she is single, and that
+attentions are being paid to her by a beau, it foretells that her husband
+has become captivated by a new love, and will probably be
+false to his vows: the omen is similar to a married man who dreams
+that he is either a bachelor or widower. 69, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SISTER"></a>SISTER. (<i>See <a href="#BROTHERS">Brothers</a>.</i>) To dream you see your sister denotes a
+speedy death in your family, and that the dreamer will be long-lived:
+if you are in love, it is a favorable omen. 24, 8.</p>

+
+<p><a id="SKATING"></a>SKATING. To dream of skating over smooth ice, and gliding along
+without much effort, is a sign of success and good luck: if you are
+skating with ladies, it foretells that your love matters will go smoothly;
+if the ice be broken or lumpy, it denotes difficulties; and if you
+imagine you fall down, you will probably experience a misfortune or
+have great trouble. 4, 7, 28.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SKY"></a>SKY. A clear sky denotes a marriage, speedy, and happy; a red
+sky, increase of wealth; if you ascend into the sky, you may look
+for much honor; a cloudy sky shows misfortune. 2, 11, 24.</p>
+
+<p>SLAUGHTER-HOUSE. To dream of being in an empty slaughter-house,
+shows that you are in danger, but can avoid it by precaution.
+To see animals slaughtered is a good sign, if the blood flow freely;
+if the blood does not flow, you will meet with some accident. 26, 12.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SLAVE"></a>SLAVE. To dream that a favorite slave has become ungrateful,
+and run away, is a sign that some one has been tampering with him
+or her, but without effect; if, in your dream, you imagine that one of
+your favorite negroes has been impertinent or neglectful, and is to be
+flogged, and that you feel bad about it, it shows that some one will try
+to injure you through the medium of your slaves, and you should
+therefore look sharp to the characters of white people around. 62, 4.</p>
+
+<p>SLEIGH-RIDE. To dream of a sleigh-ride, where the sleighing is
+good, and the sleigh glides free and noiseless, is an excellent omen,
+as it foretells success and good fortune generally, particularly to farmers:
+but if you imagine the sleighing is poor, and that the runners
+screech on the ground, it foretells trouble and unhappiness. Young
+men who dream of sleigh-riding with girls, stopping at taverns,
+drinking, getting the girls boozy, and then performing unnamable
+pranks, are thus forewarned that they will be poor and shiftless, as
+such dreams are certain omens of misery and disgrace. 67, 46.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SLIDING"></a>SLIDING. (<i>See <a href="#ICE">Ice</a>.</i>) To dream of sliding on smooth ice, foretells
+good luck: if a girl dreams that a young man assists her in sliding,
+and that she enjoys it, she will soon get an agreeable lover: ragged
+or wet ice, or holes in the ice, foreshadow difficulties. If a girl
+dreams of falling down on the ice, and that her lover falls with her,
+and overtops her, they may as well go to the parson at once, and
+have the knot tied, as it is a sure thing to happen. 4, 28.</p>
+
+<p>SMALL-POX. (<i>See <a href="#SORES">Sores</a>.</i>) To dream that you have this disease,
+foretells health and good fortune: if a lover should be so ungallant,
+as to imagine that his sweetheart is thus afflicted, it is a sign that he
+will marry a great beauty; if she happens to be a beauty, it will be
+all right, of course; if not, he will look out for number two. 41, 32.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SMOCK"></a>SMOCK. (<i>See <a href="#LINEN">Linen</a>.</i>) If a girl dreams that she has a ragged undergarment,
+it foretells that some rich greenhorn will try to seduce
+her, and failing, will offer her marriage: if she dreams that she has
+a good supply of beautiful worked undergarments, it is a sign that
+she will sigh in vain for a lover; if she imagines that a gentleman
+gives her a new smock, she will be in danger of losing her chastity.
+12.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SMOKE"></a>SMOKE. To dream of being in a room full of smoke, foretells that<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">71</span>
+you will engage in an angry controversy, and perhaps quarrel: lovers
+who dream of smoke, will nose out the fire when they next meet,
+and it will prove to be either one of anger or of lust. 76, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SNAKE"></a>SNAKE. To dream of snakes is a sign of an enemy, or that some
+one is slandering you; it also denotes quarrels and angry disputes:
+if an engaged young lady dreams of them, she had better ascertain
+positively whether her lover is all right before she marries him.
+47, 50.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SNEEZE"></a>SNEEZE. To dream you sneeze, is a sign of long life. 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SNOW"></a>SNOW. (<i>See Sleigh-Ride and Thaw.</i>) To dream that the ground is
+covered with clean, white snow, is a sign of joy and pleasure: if you
+walk in it, it foretells that you will go on a pleasant journey; to eat
+it, denotes health: if the snow is dirty, or melted in patches, you
+will have troubles, but they will not amount to much. To dream of
+a regular storm, is a sign you will be very successful in all your love
+and business affairs. 21, 67, 46.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SNUFF"></a>SNUFF. (<i>See <a href="#TOBACCO">Tobacco</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="SNUFFERS"></a>SNUFFERS. (<i>See <a href="#CANDLES">Candles</a>.</i>) To dream of snuffing out a candle, is
+a sign of a death in the family: if you imagine that you snuff it too
+short, without putting it out, it foretells that you will do something
+that will make a female friend shed tears. 40.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SOAP"></a>SOAP. Signifies trouble in business, but it will soon depart. 66,
+3, 11.</p>

+
+<p><a id="SORES"></a>SORES. To dream of your body being covered with blotches,
+shows that a great fortune will fall to you. To have the arms full of
+sores, shows ill success in business. 19, 74.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SOW"></a>SOW. To dream of a sow with a large litter of pigs, denotes
+abundance to a farmer, but is a sign of ill-health to a tradesman or
+mechanic: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will soon marry
+a man in bad health. 4, 12, 48.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SPIDER"></a>SPIDER. To dream that you see a spider coming toward you, is a
+sign that some one will soon pay you money: if you imagine that
+the spider spins down before your face, the omen is similar, for you
+will make a good lot of money in some way. If a married woman
+dreams of seeing a large spider, it foretells that she will have a miscarriage,
+which she will not be sorry for. 72, 16.</p>
+
+<p>SPY-GLASS. To dream of looking through one of these instruments
+and observing objects at a distance, is a sign that you will enlarge
+your possessions; if you are a farmer, you will add to your
+farm; if a man of business, enlarge your business, &c.; but to a
+poor devil who hasn’t got much of anything, it predicts that he will
+increase his family for the want of something else to enlarge. 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SQUINTING"></a>SQUINTING. (<i>See <a href="#EYE">Eye</a>.</i>) If a girl dreams of seeing a good-looking
+young man who squints, it is a sign that some one has fallen in
+love with her, and only waits an opportunity to demonstrate his passion:
+if a gentleman dreams that his sweetheart squints, it foretells
+that she is thinking about some one else rather than him, and would
+not break her heart if he refused to “come to tea.” 49.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">72</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="SQUIRREL"></a>SQUIRREL. To dream of these animals is a sign of good fortune;
+they denote abundant crops to a farmer, and success to any
+one: if a man dreams of being bitten by a squirrel, it foretells that
+he will lose something by robbery; if he catches the animal when it
+bites him, and puts it in a cage, the omen is different, for he will
+have a piece of good luck—though a robbery may be mixed up in
+it. 21.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STABLE"></a>STABLE. To dream of a stable denotes hospitality and good entertainment.
+2, 11.</p>
+
+<p>STAGE-COACH. To dream of riding in one signifies good luck in
+business: if you run after one, you will be out of employment for a
+long season: to see one pass, will rid you of troublesome friends. If
+you are in a stage-coach and it turns over without injuring you, you
+will be lucky in your speculations; if you dream you are killed by
+the fall, you must expect misfortune. (<i>See <a href="#RIDING">Riding</a> and <a href="#COACH">Coach</a>.</i>) 6,
+12, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STAIN"></a>STAIN. For a girl to dream of stains on her dress, is a sign of
+scandal: if she imagines that the stains are in front, she will be accused
+of an improper intimacy with a gentleman; if on the right
+sleeve, it will be insinuated that she took what did not belong to
+her; if on the left sleeve, some one will be disparaging her veracity.
+If a lover dreams that his sweetheart’s dress is stained behind, it
+shows that she is untrue to him. 65, 13.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STARS"></a>STARS. (<i>See <a href="#NIGHT">Night</a>.</i>) To dream of seeing multitudes of bright
+stars in a clear sky, is a sign (to a lady) that she will have a great
+many children, and troops of good friends: to a man of business,
+such a dream denotes as many customers as he sees stars in a clear
+sky. If a girl dreams of seeing stars, and notices one or more to be
+brighter than the rest, those bright ones are lovers, and the small
+ones are her children or friends. 4, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STATUE"></a>STATUE. To dream of marble statues is a sign of advancement;
+those who imagine that they see beautiful statuary will be sure to
+rise above their present position in society. 3, 13.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STEALING"></a>STEALING. (<i>See <a href="#THIEF">Thief</a>.</i>) If you dream of being robbed, it is a
+sign that you will make a good speculation of some kind; to dream
+of stealing any particular article yourself, foretells that you will soon
+want just that thing; thus, if you imagine that you steal money, you
+will be badly in want of some. 49, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STEEL"></a>STEEL. (<i>See <a href="#METALS">Metals</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="STEEPLE"></a>STEEPLE. (<i>See <a href="#TOWER">Tower</a>.</i>) To dream of going up to the top of a
+steeple, and looking off at a distance, is a sign that you will increase
+your property or effects: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she
+will marry above her present position. 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STICK"></a>STICK. To hold a stick foretells mourning; to use it as a prop, instability
+of fortune; to any one with it shows that you are
+charitable; to receive a beating with one, predicts you will better
+your position in life. 7, 7[TN: illegible].</p>
+
+<p><a id="STILLBORN"></a>STILLBORN. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to a stillborn
+child, it foretells that her next child will be an uncommon bright<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">73</span>
+one: a childless woman who dreams this, will realize her fondest
+hopes. 49, 77.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STING"></a>STING. To dream of being stung by a bee or wasp, foretells an
+injury by unjust and scandalous reports: a young lady who dreams
+that a bee stings her, will probably have her chastity questioned.
+64, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STOCKINGS"></a>STOCKINGS. To dream of cotton-stockings, foretells moderate
+happiness; of silk, poverty. To take them off, denotes the reception
+of money. Stockings with holes in them, signify the loss of
+property. 47, 71.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STORM"></a>STORM. (<i>See <a href="#RAIN">Rain</a>, <a href="#HAIL">Hail</a> and <a href="#SNOW">Snow</a>.</i>) To dream of a devastating
+storm, foretells losses and trouble: a violent rain-storm denotes that
+you will have good luck, but that misfortunes will nevertheless injure
+your prospects: gentle showers promise the luck without the adverse
+omen. 21, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STOVE"></a>STOVE. To dream of a stove is a sign of wealth, if there be a fire
+in it; but if cold, a sign of poverty. 8, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STRANGER"></a>STRANGER. For a girl to dream that she is kissed by a stranger,
+promises her a new lover: a married woman who dreams this will
+probably soon present her husband with a stranger in the shape of a
+new baby, and he will unhappily doubt its paternity. 62, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STRAW"></a>STRAW. To dream of a bundle of straw denotes abundance; if
+scattered about, poverty. 4, 51, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="STRAWBERRIES"></a>STRAWBERRIES. To dream of this fruit, denotes success in love
+affairs, and a happy marriage. 39, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SUCKLE"></a>SUCKLE. (<i>See Wet-Nurse.</i>) If a married woman dreams of suckling
+a child, it foretells that she will soon give birth to another;
+should a bachelor dream of seeing a child suckled, he had better
+make up his mind that he will soon have a young lady’s board to
+pay, whether he marries or not; but as the latter would be the better
+course let him be looking round for a wife at once. A married
+man who dreams this, will soon become a happy father. 7, 9, 63.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SUGAR"></a>SUGAR. To dream of sugar denotes purity: if a lover dreams
+that his sweetheart presents him with white loaf-sugar, it shows that
+her affection for him is pure and disinterested; it is therefore a good
+sign for him to dream of taking tea with her, as she would naturally
+put such sugar in his tea: to dream of sugar of any kind, or sugar
+candy, is an excellent omen. 19, 48.</p>
+
+<p>An old prediction runs as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">Dreams of sugar and sweetmeat,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Or drinking wine with pleasure great,</div>
+ <div class="verse">And all dreams pleasant in condition,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Show sports of love, and love’s fruition.</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p><a id="SUN"></a>SUN. To dream that the sun blinds you, foretells that you will be
+overwhelmed with good fortune: to see a beautiful bright sun, is a
+sign of success in anything you may undertake: a red sun denotes
+mishaps and accidents: if the sun looks dim and smoky, it foreshadows
+trouble and difficulties. To dream of seeing the sun rise
+brings good news and luck; the setting sun, misfortune. 2, 10, 20.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">74</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="SWALLOWS"></a>SWALLOWS. To dream of these birds, is a good omen, as it foretells
+health and abundant crops to farmers: if you dream of killing a
+swallow, it is a sign of a misfortune; if you catch the bird, you will
+have splendid luck and get plenty of money; but if, after capturing,
+you dream you let him go, a fortune will slip through your fingers.
+25.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SWAN"></a>SWAN. To dream of a white swan, signifies riches; a black one,
+domestic sorrow. Its song denotes death. 9, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SWEARING"></a>SWEARING. (<i>See <a href="#BLASPHEMY">Blasphemy</a>.</i>) To dream that you hear violent
+altercations and profane swearing, is a sign that you will lose caste,
+and go down in the world: if a man dreams that in his anger he
+curses and swears, it foretells that he will come to poverty. 72, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SWEEPING"></a>SWEEPING. For a girl to dream of sweeping the house, foretells
+that a lover will soon make his appearance: if a married woman
+dreams this, it shows that some outsider is charmed with her, and
+may venture to make dishonorable proposals. 39, 12.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SWIMMING"></a>SWIMMING. To dream of swimming is an excellent omen, as it
+foretells success and good fortune generally: if you dream you are
+swimming, or bathing in clear water with ladies, it predicts that you
+will soon marry the one of your choice, particularly if she be present;
+and to dream you are naked and swimming in clear water, is a sign
+of excellent luck in business matters. 54, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="SWORD"></a>SWORD. To dream of having a sword, is a sign of poverty: if you
+dream of seeing a man flourish one of these weapons, it foretells you
+will make a loss. A young girl who imagines her lover wears a
+sword, had better give up all ideas of silks and satins, and learn how
+to cook and wash, for she will be a poor man’s wife. 17.</p>
+
+<p>TABLE-CLOTH. To dream of a dirty table-cloth foretells that you
+will have plenty to eat. 51.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TAILOR"></a>TAILOR. If a girl dreams that she has a tailor for her beau, and
+is pleased with him, it is a sign that she will marry a softly sort of a
+fellow, who will allow her to be both master and mistress after marriage.
+Here is a popular rhyme in illustration: 19, 70.</p>
+
+<p>
+The maid who dreams a tailor she would wed,<br />
+<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Will marry one who’ll be a log in bed;</span><br />
+And she’ll be master, too, of all his riches,<br />
+<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And, in the vulgar parlance, “wear the breeches!”</span><br />
+</p>
+
+<p><a id="TALL"></a>TALL. If a young lady dreams that her beau is a very tall man, it
+is a sign that her future husband will be a “wee bit of a fellow,” and
+not of much account. 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TAMARINDS"></a>TAMARINDS. To dream of tamarinds shows much vexation and
+uneasiness through a woman, bad success in trade, a rainy season,
+and news from beyond sea that is disagreeable: in love they denote
+disappointment. 77, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TANNERY"></a>TANNERY. To dream of being in a tannery is a sign of health
+and riches: if a girl dreams that her beau is a tanner, she will probably
+get a good husband, and one who is well off, and will live to a
+good old age, for your tanners are usually tough customers. 52, 7.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TAR"></a>TAR. To dream of tar is a sign you will travel by water: if you<span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">75</span>
+dream you get it on your hands or clothes, it shows that you will
+have difficulties; and to imagine you accidentally seat yourself on
+tar, and get stuck to the seat, foretells that you will be detained
+against your will in some foreign country. 12, 6, 72.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TAVERN"></a>TAVERN. (<i>See <a href="#INN">Inn</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="TEA"></a>TEA. To dream of drinking tea, or being present at a tea-party, is
+a sign of thrift and domestic happiness: a girl who dreams of meeting
+her lover at such a party, or of drinking tea with him, may be
+sure that he’s all right, and she can close her matrimonial bargain
+with him at once without any risk. 61, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TEARS"></a>TEARS. To dream of shedding tears of sympathy, is a sign that
+some one is in love with you; this applies to both sexes, but more
+particularly to girls who cry easy: if you imagine you cry from grief,
+some good fortune awaits you, and you will have riches in proportion
+to the tears shed: if you dream that you shed tears from vexation,
+it shows that you will experience a loss just in proportion to the tears,
+or that some one will injure your prospects by circulating a scandal. 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TEETH"></a>TEETH. To dream you lose your teeth, denotes the loss of friends,
+troubles, and misfortunes; to the lover it shows the loss of your
+sweetheart’s affections: to dream you cut a new tooth, denotes the
+birth of a child who will make a figure in the world. 33, 11, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TELEGRAPH"></a>TELEGRAPH. To dream of one denotes tidings from abroad, in a
+short space of time, and still more speedily if you think the telegraph
+is at work. 47, 10, 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TELESCOPE"></a>TELESCOPE. (<i>See Spy-Glass.</i>) To dream of looking through a
+telescope at a distance over farm lands, is a sign you will either purchase
+a farm or inherit one: if you dream of looking at the stars, it
+shows that you will rise in the world—if at the moon, and you are
+delighted with the view, it predicts for you great riches. 7, 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TEMPEST"></a>TEMPEST. (<i>See <a href="#STORM">Storm</a>.</i>) To dream of long-continuing and great
+tempests, signifies affliction, troubles, dangers, losses and perils; to
+the poor, repose. 57, 8.</p>
+
+<p>TEN-PINS. To dream of playing ten-pins, foretells disgrace; if the
+centre pin falls, one of the players will die; if many pins fall, all of
+the players will suffer loss. 10, 2, 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THAW"></a>THAW. To dream of a thaw, and walking in splashy snow, foretells
+trouble and losses: if a young fellow dreams that he walks
+through splashy snow to go a courting, it is a sign that he will quarrel
+with his sweetheart. 34, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THEATRE"></a>THEATRE. For a young man to dream of taking his sweetheart
+to the theatre, is a sign that she will favor a new beau: if he dreams
+of going to the theatre alone, and seeing his lady-love among the
+audience, it shows that she has already seen and spoken to a gentleman
+that she likes better than him: if a lady dreams this of her beau,
+the omen is similar. 2, 4, 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THIEF"></a>THIEF. (<i>See <a href="#STEALING">Stealing</a>.</i>) To dream that thieves break into your
+house and rob you, is a sign of honor or profit—the greater the robbery,
+the more extensive will be your good fortune: if you dream
+that you catch a thief and deliver him over to the officers of justice,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">76</span>
+it denotes that you will have trouble in connection with your good
+fortune. 49, 16, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THIRST"></a>THIRST. If any one dream of thirst or of drinking water, if the
+water appear clear and acceptable, he will live joyfully and become
+wealthy; if the water be troubled, warm, or offensive, it forewarns
+him that without prudence, he will end his days in affliction. 20, 49.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THORN"></a>THORN. For a girl to dream of accidentally sticking a thorn into
+her finger is a sign she will have a ring presented to her, probably a
+wedding ring: if a married woman dreams this, some outsider will
+make love to her by first offering a ring. If any one dreams of sticking
+a thorn in either foot or leg, it foretells improper intimacy with
+the opposite sex which will not end in disgrace, but in marriage:
+married people who dream this will do the same thing and not be
+found out. 39.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THROAT"></a>THROAT. For a married woman to dream that her throat is sore,
+or swelled, or out of order, is a sign she is in the family way; and a
+girl who dreams this had better be careful and keep pretty clear of
+the young fellows, for fear of accidents. 60, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THUMB"></a>THUMB. If a girl dreams that her beau hurts her by pinching her
+thumb, it is a sign that if she marries him she will have to get her
+own living, and help to support him besides: for a man to dream of
+losing his thumb, or of an injury to it, foretells poverty—on the contrary,
+to dream of a big thumb denotes much wealth. 36, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="THUNDER"></a>THUNDER. To dream of heavy thunder denotes large crops to
+farmers: to tradesmen, mechanics, or speculators, it foretells a big
+business, or a successful speculation: if you are terrified by thunder,
+so much the better. 51.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TIGER"></a>TIGER. To dream of seeing one of these animals in a rage, is a
+sign that you have a treacherous friend who will endanger your reputation:
+to see, in your dream, a sleeping or quiet tiger, foretells that
+you will soon make the acquaintance of a treacherous or unworthy
+person. If a girl dreams this, she had better be suspicious of the
+next young man who offers her his attentions. 59, 62.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TOAD"></a>TOAD. To dream of seeing a toad is a sign of a rain storm: if, in
+your dream, you see multitudes of small toads, it foretells good crops
+to farmers, and excellent luck to anybody: if a newly married woman
+dreams this, it shadows forth that she will have as many smart children
+as she sees toads—three or four at a time, perhaps—and if she
+don’t, her husband will beget them elsewhere. 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TOBACCO"></a>TOBACCO. For a boy to dream of chewing tobacco, is a sign of
+poverty, as rum and tobacco-chewing go together: to dream of smoking
+foretells waste, but is not exactly an omen of poverty, though
+waste always precedes that state. The best way is not to dream of
+using tobacco at all. If you dream of seeing large piles of tobacco,
+it is a sign of bad luck and loss in some speculation. To dream you
+take snuff is a bad omen in love affairs, but if you dream you sneeze
+when you take it, it is a sign of long life. 49, 7, 55.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TOMATOES"></a>TOMATOES. To dream of this valuable vegetable, denotes prosperity
+in life; if you have children, they will thrive; if you are in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">77</span>
+love, your suit will be successful. If a maiden dreams of them, it
+denotes that she will marry her present sweetheart, have many children,
+and be very happy; to a farmer it denotes abundant crops.
+78, 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TOMB"></a>TOMB. To dream of visiting a large and magnificent tomb-stone
+foreshadows that you will fall in love with some one above you in
+social position: visiting a cemetery or grave-yard in your dream, is a
+sign that your turn will soon come to join the matrimonial ranks. 48.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TONGUE"></a>TONGUE. If a lady dreams of having a sore on her tongue, it is
+a sign that she has uttered a slander. 54.</p>
+
+<p>TOOTH-ACHE. To dream that you have the tooth-ache is a sign
+of trouble: if you imagine that you are about to have the tooth pulled,
+it foretells that your trouble will end by a piece of good luck; and if
+you dream that the tooth is out, and you have it in your hand, you
+will soon gain a good lump of money. 8, 5, 34.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TORCH"></a>TORCH. To see a bright torch-light at a distance in a dark night,
+and go toward it, foretells a successful journey; but if you stumble
+by the way you will experience an accident: to dream of carrying a
+lighted torch at night, is a sign that some distant friend will pay you
+a visit. 20.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TOWER"></a>TOWER. (<i>See <a href="#STEEPLE">Steeple</a>.</i>) To dream of going upon a high tower, and
+looking off on a beautiful landscape, foretells that you will acquire
+land either by purchase or inheritance: if you look off upon the
+water, it is a sign of a journey by sea, during which you will acquire
+riches: if birds are flying around the tower, they foretell so many
+troubles. 58.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRAP"></a>TRAP. To dream of setting a trap to catch rats or mice, is a sign,
+to a girl, that she will receive the attentions of a dishonest lover: if
+she dreams of catching any, she will probably marry a great scamp,
+or be seduced by one. 6.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRAVELING"></a>TRAVELING. To dream of traveling by railroad or steamboat is
+a very good omen, as it denotes thrift and success in your business;
+but if you dream you are journeying in your own private coach, it
+foreshadows poverty in the end, though you may have temporary
+good luck: if you dream you have crossed the ocean, and find yourself
+in a foreign country, you may be sure that good fortune will attend
+all your business transactions. 6, 11, 66.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TREES"></a>TREES. (<i>See <a href="#BLOSSOMS">Blossom</a>.</i>) To dream of green and flourishing trees is
+an excellent omen, as it foretells riches—the larger the trees, the better
+the fortune: if you dream of climbing into a high tree, you will
+not only be rich, but will come to great distinction. If a girl should
+dream of seeing her lover up a tree, she will marry a wealthy and
+distinguished man. 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRIPE"></a>TRIPE. If a woman dreams of cleaning tripe, it foretells that she
+will either be untrue to her husband or an outrage will be perpetrated
+upon her: to dream of eating tripe is about as bad, for it shows to a
+man that he will be engaged in some affair with a female (not his
+wife) which will bring him to disgrace. 28, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRIPLETS"></a>TRIPLETS. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to three chil<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">78</span>dren
+at one parturition, it foretells riches and honors: if a husband
+dreams that his wife is so delivered, the omen is the same: if any
+one dreams of seeing triplets who are healthy and well-formed, it
+foretells good luck and success, particularly in love matters. 46, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TROUT"></a>TROUT. To dream of catching trout is an excellent omen, as it
+foretells that you will get money—the larger the trout, the more cash
+you will receive. It is stated in some of the books that to newly
+married people such a dream foretells the birth of a child, but I have
+been unable to verify this, because most young married people will
+have children whether they dream of trout or not. 29, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRUMPET"></a>TRUMPET. To dream you hear the sound of a trumpet, is a bad
+omen, and denotes trouble and misfortune; to the tradesman it presages
+the loss of business; to the farmer, bad crops; to the lover, insincerity
+in the object of your affections. 46, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TRUNK"></a>TRUNK. To dream of a full trunk, shows the necessity of economy;
+an empty one, signifies that you may expect to receive money.
+39, 62, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TUB"></a>TUB. To dream of a tub is a bad omen: if it be filled with water,
+you have evil to fear; an empty tub signifies trouble; and to run
+against one, sorrow. 46, 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TULIPS"></a>TULIPS. To dream of these beautiful flowers is a sign of abundance:
+if you imagine you see a garden full of them belonging to
+yourself, it foretells that you will become rich and distinguished: if
+a girl dreams that her lover presents her with tulips, she will undoubtedly
+marry well, and probably her husband will be wealthy. 48.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TURKEY"></a>TURKEY. To dream of seeing a flock of turkeys denotes to a
+tradesman, or a farmer, that he will have a transaction which will
+bring him in a considerable sum in ready money: if a lover who is
+about to be married dreams of turkeys, he will find that his sweetheart
+has got a marriage portion in ready money. 72, 15.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TURNIP"></a>TURNIP. To dream of turnips signifies the discovery of secrets
+and domestic quarrels. 29, 52.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TURTLE"></a>TURTLE. To dream of turtles is a sign of long life: an engaged
+young lady who dreams of these animals will probably marry according
+to her wishes, and live with her husband until they become an
+old couple; but her husband will be one of the slow and easy kind.
+67, 49, 5.</p>
+
+<p><a id="TWINS"></a>TWINS. To dream of having twins, brings good news, and is a
+sign of honor or riches; it is also a good omen in love matters if a
+man dreams it, but if a girl has this dream she must look out for the
+boys. 44, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="UMBRELLA"></a>UMBRELLA. If a young girl dreams that she has got a new umbrella,
+it foretells a new lover: if a married woman dreams this, it is
+a sign that some other gentleman besides her husband is enamored
+of her. A man who dreams of buying an umbrella will have a narrow
+escape from threatened danger. 70, 30, 1.</p>
+
+<p><a id="UNDER"></a>UNDER GROUND. To dream that you go down under ground,
+whether into a well, a deep cellar or vault, or a cave, denotes your
+early death; but if you dream that you are digging in the ground,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">79</span>
+and are in a hole which you have dug, the omen is different, for it
+denotes riches and long life. 5, 9, 45.</p>
+
+<p><a id="UNDRESS"></a>UNDRESS. To see your wife undress, signifies wantonness; to
+undress in the presence of others, slander; to undress in your room
+alone, the discovery of secrets. 48, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VACCINATED"></a>VACCINATED. To dream of being vaccinated foretells good
+health; and if you imagine that you have a large sore on your arm
+from vaccination, it is a sign that you will present to some one a liberal
+gift, and receive much honor. 49.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VARNISHING"></a>VARNISHING. To dream that your house or furniture is being,
+or has been, newly varnished, is a sign of a funeral; but if you imagine
+that you are varnishing anything, it merely foretells a loss with
+out a death. 59, 76.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VAULT"></a>VAULT. An unexpected estate will fall to you, if you dream of a
+vault. 21, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VEAL"></a>VEAL. To dream of veal being roasted is good; but boiled, shows
+sickness; and raw, a great disappointment; particularly to those who
+have recently formed an attachment or any new connection. 48, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VELVET"></a>VELVET. If a lady dreams of new velvet dresses, it foretells poverty:
+velvet cushions, slippers or bonnets, are signs of waste and
+want. 36, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VENISON"></a>VENISON. To dream of eating venison is a sign that you will
+travel: if you imagine you see large saddles of venison in market, it
+foretells a journey for business purposes which will be profitable.
+42, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VERMIN"></a>VERMIN. To dream of any kind of vermin, is ominous of ill-luck
+and enemies, especially if they are in the house, or near the fireplace;
+but if out of the house, they are unimportant. 27, 62.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VEXATION"></a>VEXATION. To dream of being much vexed, foretells the reverse,
+and that you will shortly be much pleased. 33, 61.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VINEGAR"></a>VINEGAR. To dream you drink vinegar, signifies sickness and
+sharp words: to use it in pickling, is a sign of gain. 29, 6, 76.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VINES"></a>VINES. To dream of seeing or pruning grape-vines, or gathering
+grapes, is prosperity to persons in trade, journeys to the rich, employment
+to the poor, and comfort to those in affliction. 38, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VIOLIN"></a>VIOLIN. (<i>See <a href="#FIDDLE">Fiddle</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="VIRGIN"></a>VIRGIN. If a man dreams that he defloured a virgin, it is a sign
+that he will be disgraced by some act of his own: to dream of seeing
+the Virgin Mary, foretells that great honors await you: such a
+dream, to an honest business man, promises him riches and honor;
+but to a dishonest one, it foretells disaster. 54, 3.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VOMITING"></a>VOMITING. To dream of vomiting is usually a sign of health: if
+you imagine that you vomit up worms, it foretells that you will have
+good luck in preventing a loss, or a robbery. 14, 65.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VOTE"></a>VOTE. To dream you are voting, is bad, particularly to a sick
+person: for a newly married woman to dream of voting, is a sure
+sign that her first child will be a boy, who will come to great honors. 9.</p>
+
+<p><a id="VOW"></a>VOW. To dream that you have made a vow and broken it, is bad
+to all. 21, 78.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_80">80</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="VULTURE"></a>VULTURE. To dream of the vulture is unfortunate to all, except
+sick persons, to whom it foretells a speedy recovery. 41, 62.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WADING"></a>WADING. If a girl dreams of wading in clear water, it is a sign
+that she will soon marry, and be delighted with her husband’s embraces:
+if she imagines that the water is rily or muddy, it foretells
+that she will enjoy the pleasures of illicit love. If a man dreams of
+wading, it denotes that he will be engaged in some intrigue with a
+female—the deeper the water, the more difficult the realization of his
+wishes: muddy water denotes loose women. 20, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WAKE"></a>WAKE. To dream of going to a wake where drinking and howling
+is going on, is a sign of poverty and misery: if a girl dreams
+this, it foretells her speedy marriage with a man who will turn out
+to be a miserable drunkard. If a young man dreams of seeing his
+sweetheart at a wake, he had better back out from the bargain, as
+she will never be of much account, and may become a drunkard. 8.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WALKING"></a>WALKING. To dream you are walking in a dirty and muddy
+place, foretells sickness and vexation: in love, it denotes bad temper
+and disappointment. 47.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WALLS"></a>WALLS. To dream you are walking on, or climbing over walls,
+denotes some dangerous enterprise, trouble, and vexation: if you get
+down without the wall falling, or hurting yourself, you will succeed;
+if not, be disappointed. 71, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WALNUTS"></a>WALNUTS. To dream of them denotes riches and happiness; to
+the lover, success and a good tempered sweetheart. 37, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WAR"></a>WAR. To dream that war exists, and that you see bodies of troops
+marching, foretells quarrels and troubles in your family, if you have
+one, and if not, among your relatives: if you imagine you see a battle,
+the omen is still worse, as the quarrel will probably become public
+and notorious. 4, 6, 24.</p>
+
+<p>WARMING-PAN. If any single person dreams that his or her
+bed is warmed with one of these utensils, it is a positive forerunner
+of their marriage: if a married woman dreams this, it is a sign that
+she will go to bed with a strange bedfellow (whether male or female,
+is not known). 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WARTS"></a>WARTS. To dream of warts on your left hand is a sign you will
+receive some money; if they are on the right hand, it foretells that
+you will pay away money: to dream of a wart on the nose, signifies
+that you will be distinguished; on the neck or bosom of a female, denotes
+riches. 65.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WASHING"></a>WASHING. To dream of washing, foretells change of abode, and
+if you wash in clear, cold water, the dream is an omen of good; but
+If the water is dirty or turbid, it is the reverse. If a woman dream
+she is washing clothes, it is a sign she will hear good news within
+twenty-four hours. 20, 16.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WASP"></a>WASP. (<i>See <a href="#STING">Sting</a>.</i>) To dream of wasps denotes thrift and abundance,
+particularly to farmers and those who have fruit-trees. If a
+girl dreams that she is stung by a mud-wasp, it foretells that she will
+marry a gentleman who will love her dearly. 62, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WASTE"></a>WASTE. To dream of waste is a sign of beggary, provided you<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">81</span>
+are the cause of the waste; but if you feel bad and try to prevent
+it, the omen is one of losses, which may not end in beggary. 29, 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WATCH"></a>WATCH. (<i>See <a href="#CLOCK">Clock</a>.</i>) If you dream of buying a gold watch, it is
+a sign of poverty; but if you imagine that you are presented with
+one, it foretells good luck and money-getting: to dream of losing
+your gold watch is also a good omen, as it denotes success in business.
+42, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WATCHMAN"></a>WATCHMAN. To dream of calling in one, gives confidence: to
+see a person taken to prison by a watchman, shows that you must
+be careful in conducting your business. If the watchman take hold
+of you, it is a very good sign. To see many watchmen together,
+signifies the loss of money. 67, 52.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WATER"></a>WATER. To dream of being on the water, is good, if the water
+be clear; but if muddy or troubled, the reverse. To see a wide expanse
+of water, over or on which you wish to get, but cannot, shows
+that you are about to embark in some undertaking without first securing
+the means of success. (<i>See Bathing, Fountain, Pump, Pitcher,
+River, Rowing, Sailing, Swimming, Thirst, Washing and Well.</i>)
+42, 18.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WATERMELONS"></a>WATERMELONS. (<i>See <a href="#MELONS">Melons</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="WEDDING"></a>WEDDING. (<i>See <a href="#MARRIAGE">Marriage</a>.</i>) To dream of being at a jolly wedding,
+is a sign of a funeral: if you imagine that you kiss the bride,
+it foretells the death of a dear friend or relative. In an old dream-book,
+published 1808, it is stated that to dream of kissing the bride,
+is a sign of your own death, but on referring to the best authorities,
+I find it is necessary to dream that the bride should herself be the
+kissing party, and that an impressive kiss from her on the occasion
+denotes the death of the person kissed. 42, 78, 2.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WELL"></a>WELL. To dream of looking into a deep well, is a sign you will
+find a treasure: if you dream of falling into a deep well, it foretells
+your death: if you imagine you draw clear water from a well, and
+drink it, you will surely have good fortune of some kind. 7, 14, 77.</p>
+
+<p>WET-NURSE. To dream of seeing a wet-nurse suckling a child,
+is a sign of venery: to a married man it foretells that he will break
+his marriage vows; and to unmarried girls it denotes shame. 7,
+9, 63.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHALE"></a>WHALE. To dream of seeing one of these monsters alive in the
+ocean, is a sign that you will be in great peril of losing either your
+life or property: if you dream that you spear or harpoon a whale
+successfully, it foretells great and abundant fortune. 37, 22, 61.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHEAT"></a>WHEAT. (<i>See <a href="#GRAIN">Grain</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHISKERS"></a>WHISKERS. If a man dreams that he has very long whiskers or
+beard, it foretells that he will commit some folly in connection with
+a female; to a married man it shows that he will appear ridiculous
+from neglect of his wife and attentions to other women who flatter
+him; to a single man, that he will lose caste by foolish, though perhaps
+not criminal conduct toward silly girls. 78.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHIST"></a>WHIST. (<i>See <a href="#CARDS">Cards</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHITEWASH"></a>WHITEWASH. To dream of having your house or place of busi<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">82</span>ness
+whitewashed, is an excellent omen, as it promises you good
+health, and a good name and repute among your friends: if a woman
+dreams of whitewashing her house, or any part of it, it foretells that
+she will have a son who will be distinguished, or that some act of
+hers will attract public attention. 42, 77.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHORE"></a>WHORE. If a man dreams of associating with one of this class of
+women, it foretells losses and disgrace: should a girl dream of playing
+the whore, when in fact she is chaste, it foretells her speedy marriage,
+and that she will love her husband. 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WHORTLEBERRIES"></a>WHORTLEBERRIES. For a girl to dream of picking these berries
+in abundance, is a sign she will marry very young and get a
+good husband, though not a rich one: to dream of eating whortleberries,
+denotes health. 69, 30.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WIDOW"></a>WIDOW. If a girl dreams that she is a widow, it foretells that
+she will have many lovers: such a dream to a married woman, denotes
+that some man beside her husband is in love with her. 38, 60.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WIG"></a>WIG. To dream of wearing a wig is a good omen to a bald bachelor,
+as it foretells that some lady has a design to catch the poor fellow,
+and will not scruple as to the means she uses to accomplish it:
+if a young man dreams of wearing a wig, it is a sign that he will
+sleep with his sweetheart before he marries her. 3, 6, 69.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WILL"></a>WILL. To dream of making your will is a sign of long life, and
+good fortune generally: if you imagine that you make your will to
+give a legacy to a lady, it foretells to a man (whether married or single)
+that he will marry. 22.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WILLOW"></a>WILLOW. To dream of weeping willows is a sign of sickness
+and death: if they hang over a stream, it foretells sickness only.
+12, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WINE"></a>WINE. To dream of drinking wine is a sign of poverty: if a
+lover dreams that his sweetheart treats him to a glass of wine, it
+foretells that she will be an unthrifty wife. 39.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WITCH"></a>WITCH. To dream of a witch foretells that you will leave your
+home and sojourn among strangers: if the witch attempts to injure
+you, it denotes that you will be dependent upon strangers for your
+support. No intelligent person believes in witches, yet a great many
+dream of them, and the above is the horoscope of such a dream. 17.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WOLF"></a>WOLF. To dream of being chased by one of these animals, foretells
+that you will be cheated in a trade or bargain: if a girl dreams
+of being frightened by a wolf, it shows that her lover (if she has
+one) is a bad man, and she had better discard him; if she has no
+lover, some black-hearted fellow will try to make her acquaintance. 45.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WOODCHUCK"></a>WOODCHUCK. To dream of catching one of these animals, is a
+sign that you will be robbed, and that the thief will be detected: if
+you imagine you kill the woodchuck, you will probably recover your
+stolen property. 36, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WOODS"></a>WOODS. (<i>See <a href="#GROVE">Grove</a> and <a href="#PICNIC">Picnic</a>.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><a id="WORK"></a>WORK. (<i>See <a href="#HARVEST">Harvest</a>.</i>) To dream that you were working hard, and
+are very tired, is a sign of sickness: if you imagine that you see
+men at work, it foretells a successful business. 77.</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">83</span></p>
+
+<p><a id="WORMS"></a>WORMS. (<i>See <a href="#GRUB">Grub</a>.</i>) To dream of fish-worms, such as are dug in
+the garden, is a sign of health and good fortune; dreaming of any
+destructive worms foretells sickness and losses: if you dream that
+worms spin down from a tree and light upon you, it denotes difficulties
+and bad luck. 65, 4, 70.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WOUND"></a>WOUND. To dream that you are wounded by being stabbed or
+shot by an enemy, foretells losses and poverty; if the wounds are
+accidental, it still denotes losses, though your general fortune may
+not be affected. 13, 42.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WREN"></a>WREN. To dream that one of these musical little birds makes her
+nest anywhere on your premises, is a sign of joy and riches; a girl
+who dreams this will make a happy match, though perhaps not a
+rich one, as the riches only come to the family that lives in the
+house. 1, 73.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WRINKLES"></a>WRINKLES. If a lady dreams that her face has become wrinkled,
+it is a sign that some one is, or has been, praising her good looks; an
+old bachelor who dreams this, “had better believe” that some young
+lady is in love with him, for there is no accounting for taste. 66, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WRIST"></a>WRIST. If a girl dreams that her wrist is large or mis-shapen, it
+foretells that she will come to poverty after marriage; if she imagines
+that there is a tumor or swelling, or even a wart on it, it is a sign
+that she will be dependent on some one for her bread, and that person
+may or may not be her husband. 7, 57, 19.</p>
+
+<p><a id="WRITING"></a>WRITING. (<i>See <a href="#PENS">Pen</a> and <a href="#ACCOUNTS">Accounts</a>.</i>) To dream of writing a letter,
+foretells that absent friends are about to visit you: if a girl dreams
+of writing a love-letter, it is a sign that her lover will soon return
+and clasp her in his arms, if she allows any such familiarities. To
+dream you make a blot while writing, is a sign of sickness. 14.</p>
+
+<p><a id="YACHT"></a>YACHT. To dream you see a yacht under full sail, while you are
+on shore, is a sign you will soon fall in love with a pretty maid, or
+widow. To dream you are sailing in a yacht with a pleasant breeze,
+is a good omen, and denotes success in business, and to lovers, happiness.
+Dreams of sailing on smooth water are good to all persons,
+but to dream the weather is stormy, predicts quarrels and strife. (<i>See
+Ship and Boat.</i>) 71, 29.</p>
+
+<p><a id="YELLOW"></a>YELLOW. To dream of having any yellow article presented to
+you, is a sign you will get gold: if a girl dreams that her lover gives
+her yellow flowers, it foretells that she will marry rich. 60, 41.</p>
+
+<p><a id="YOKE"></a>YOKE. To dream of seeing sleek and healthy cattle yoked together
+and acting in harmony, is a sign of a happy marriage: if a girl dreams
+this, she will be apt to put her own neck in Hymen’s yoke before a
+great while. To imagine you see yoked cattle wrangling, and trying
+to get their necks out of the yoke, foretells matrimonial troubles,
+though it still denotes wedlock to the unmarried. 6, 11.</p>
+
+<p><a id="YOUNG"></a>YOUNG. If an old or middle aged person dreams that they are
+young, it foretells their death: for a young person to dream that he
+or she is a child, the omen is similar; but to dream <i>of youths</i>, is a sign
+that you will live to a great age. 69, 4.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ZEBRA"></a>ZEBRA. To dream of seeing a zebra, is a sign of a quarrel: if you<span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">84</span>
+imagine that somebody presented you with one of these animals, or
+that you have purchased it, it foretells, to a young man, that he will
+marry a rich but quarrelsome wife, and that she will be constantly
+annoying him by bragging of her property. 39, 70, 32.</p>
+
+<p><a id="ZOUAVE"></a>ZOUAVE. (<i>See <a href="#PARADE">Parade</a>.</i>) To dream you see Zouaves, as well as
+other soldiers and armed men, denotes, that you will have quarrels
+and trouble in your family, if you have one, and if you have not,
+among your relatives: to the single man, this dream foreshadows
+that his sweetheart loves another better than himself; and to the
+maiden it signifies her lover will try and seduce her. 58, 1, 77.</p>
+

+<h2><a name="HOW_TO_FIND_LUCKY_NUMBERS_WITH" id="HOW_TO_FIND_LUCKY_NUMBERS_WITH">HOW TO FIND LUCKY NUMBERS WITH
+DICE.</a></h2>
+
+
+<p>This plan of ascertaining lucky numbers has always been exceedingly
+popular with those persons who try their fortune at the lottery.
+The manner of calculating a lucky number is as follows: Take two
+dice, and after shaking them well in a box, throw them out, being
+careful to note the whole number of spots on the uppermost sides of
+the dice, then repeat this operation and again mark down the number
+of spots as before. Having done this, you then consult the annexed
+table and find the number of your first throw, then follow the
+line down until you arrive at the number corresponding with your
+second throw on the opposite side of the table. For example, we
+will suppose you throw the first time, and the number of spots is
+equal to 4. You must then look at the top of the line and find the
+Roman numeral IV. You throw the second time and get 7 spots;
+this you will find on the outside column, at the left hand, marked
+VII. Then all you have to do is to place your finger on the IV. at
+the top of the table and follow the line down until you arrive at VII.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">94</span>
+on the opposite side of the table, thus you will find the number 43,
+which is the lucky number. Should you come to a cypher (0) you
+must throw again. By following these simple directions you can get
+as many good numbers as you wish to play.</p>

+<h2><a id="THE_SHIFT_CHARM"></a>THE SHIFT CHARM.</h2>
+
+<p>On going to bed, take off your under garment and turn it wrong
+side outwards; hang it on the back of a chair, having first placed
+the chair facing and in front of the bed. While doing this, repeat the
+following lines:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">Husband approach! and without fear</div>
+ <div class="verse">Sit on this chair, and thus be near</div>

+ <div class="verse">And if thy love is all sincere,</div>
+ <div class="verse">To her, this night appear! appear!</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>You must then get into bed backwards, and sleep in your night-gown
+without any shift. You will probably dream of seeing an agreeable
+young man, in which case your marriage within that year is certain.
+If you do not dream of a man, you will never marry. You should be
+alone in trying this charm, for if you speak to any one, or any one in

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Nine</span>: Betrothal.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Ten</span>: A Wedding.</p>
+
+<p>In explaining the cards, my dear readers, to any one, shuffle the
+pack three times, and let the person who wishes to know his fortune
+cut it three times in succession. Then take up the cards, and let the
+person in question draw one. This drawn card you place first upon
+the table. Then spread out the pack in four rows, each containing
+eight cards. (<i>See Engraving.</i>)</p>
+
+<p>The first card is of the highest significance. In the first place it
+indicates the character of the person inquiring, and according to the
+following rule:</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♠</span> Choleric, passionate, violent.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♣</span> Sanguine, cheerful, mirthful, witty.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♦</span> Phlegmatic, practical, unexcitable.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♥</span> Melancholic, sentimental, poetical, talented.</p>
+
+<p>As, however, the human character is never without more than one
+of the above named characteristics, the first card signifies the most
+prominent one, and the cards which lie on the right side and below
+it are reckoned with it, by which the meaning of the first card is
+either modified or corroborated.</p>
+
+<p>If the person in question is a lady, and she has, for example, drawn
+a club, the queen of clubs is herself, the knave of clubs is her intended,
+the king her father, or uncle, as the case may be. The picture cards
+of the other black suit are her friends and relations. It is the same
+if she has drawn hearts or diamonds, only that in this case the picture
+cards of the other red suit signify her friends and relations. If
+the person inquiring is a gentleman, it is the same, except that he is
+the knave of the suit which he has drawn, and his intended the queen.</p>
+
+<p>From this first card, also, you form a judgment of one’s whole future
+course in life. If its signification is joyful, the person’s life will be a
+happy one. If, for example, it is the ace of hearts, it indicates that
+the person will never be without a home, a dear and pleasant home
+to him; if it is the ace of clubs, he will pass through life enjoying
+honor and fame; if it is the ten of hearts with a female figure on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_97">97</span>
+either side, it signifies two wives; if with a male figure on either
+side, and the person inquiring is a female, two husbands.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_096.jpg" alt="" />
+<div class="caption"><span class="smcap">Example of Fortune-Telling with an Euchre Pack of Cards.</span></div>
+</div>
+
+<p>Thus much as to general rules. We will now instruct the reader
+how to explain the cards in detail. We will suppose that it is a lady
+who inquires of the cards, and endeavor, by means of an example, to
+give an accurate explanation of the method to be pursued. Spread
+out the cards before you, and observe carefully the different cards
+while you read the fortune I shall predict from them. (<i>See Engraving,
+page 96.</i>)</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Ace of Hearts.</span>—The young lady’s character, it seems, is sentimental,
+melancholic, poetical, which three qualities are found more or<span class="pagenum" id="Page_98">98</span>
+less together. If the next card were a heart, it would indicate a temperament
+inclined to love. As, however, the adjacent cards are clubs
+and spades, of which two indeed are clubs, we conclude that the lady
+often displays a cheerful, sanguine disposition, yet can, at times, be
+very passionate. The main feature of her character, however, is the
+melancholic.</p>
+
+<p>We will now look around for the lady herself—she is found to be
+the seventh card on the last row. Her lover, on the other hand, is
+the eighth card in the second row. As he precedes her, this signifies
+that she is already acquainted with him, and they seem already to
+love one another, as a love card lies at his side, and also one at hers;
+no card, however, lies between them to connect them, except the
+queen of diamonds. This, however, is not altogether favorable, for a
+queen between a loving pair signifies a rival (for a gentleman, the
+knave signifies the same), and can as well indicate a separation as a
+union, notwithstanding its similarity of color. The general rule is as
+follows:—If the card which connects the queen and knave is of the
+same color with them, it indicates a future union between the persons.
+(Hearts and diamonds form one color, as do clubs and spades.)</p>
+
+<p>One thing more: from the cards which lie next to the knave, we are
+enabled to judge of the character and occupation of the lady’s intended.
+In the present case, the cards next to the knave of hearts are
+two spades, two diamonds, and one heart; his character, therefore, according
+to the rules already given, is choleric, yet at times melancholic
+and sentimental. In his daily conduct he is practical and considerate.</p>
+
+<p>As to his occupation, the different colors have the following signification:</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♠</span> A student, probably a clergyman.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♣</span> A lawyer—jurist.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♦</span> A mechanic, merchant, or a person who has chosen
+for himself some practical career.</p>
+
+<p><span class="vl">♥</span> A capitalist, a genius who devotes himself to some favorite
+pursuit, also a military man.</p>
+
+<p>The card at the right hand is commonly the decisive one, but as, in
+the present case, there is no right hand card, the one at the left takes
+its place; according to this, the lady’s intended is a capitalist, a
+genius, or a military man.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">99</span></p>
+
+<p>We now proceed to tell the lady’s fortune in its particulars.</p>
+
+<p>We commence from the ace of hearts, thus: a considerable windfall
+will happen in your family, young lady. Either you or your parents
+will draw a prize in the lottery, or heaven will drop some other
+nice morsel into your mouth (ten of clubs).</p>
+
+<p>This will give occasion to a journey, which you will take with an
+acquaintance (king of spades and seven of diamonds). This journey
+will be very agreeable to you, and especially will you enjoy yourself
+at a ball, to which you will be invited by a friend of your travelling
+companion (knave of clubs and eight of diamonds). You will then
+dance a cotillion with a relative of your intended, perhaps with your
+own brother-in-law that is to be (knave of diamonds).</p>
+
+<p>When you return home, you will find a letter, at the sight of which
+you will be disturbed, the hand-writing being that of a person unfriendly
+to you (queen of spades, ace of spades). You open it, and
+behold it is a proposal of marriage (nine of clubs), and from a relative
+of the gentleman who invited you to the ball (king of clubs), which
+touches the (nine of clubs).</p>
+
+<p>As, however, you promise yourself nothing but vexation (eight of
+spades) from this marriage, you refuse him (ten of spades), and it
+will soon appear that a better fortune lies before you (eight of clubs).
+Soon after, a wedding takes place (ten of hearts), namely, that of your
+sister or friend (queen of diamonds), who, therefore, does not stand
+between you and your intended to separate you, but to unite you.
+The bridegroom is the gentleman who was your partner in the cotillion
+at that ball (knave of diamonds). At this wedding you will
+among others see your intended (knave of hearts), with whom you are
+already acquainted. You will also meet there a gentleman, who,
+when you last saw him, was dangerously ill (seven of spades, knave
+of spades, and ten of diamonds). Your intended seizes the opportunity
+to offer himself to you, and you become betrothed to him (nine
+of hearts). You will receive a present from a relative or friend, perhaps
+from your brother (ace of clubs, and king of diamonds).</p>
+
+<p>Something now occurs to separate you from your betrothed (nine
+of spades). It almost seems as if you were jealous of a lady whom
+he formerly loved (queen of clubs, seven of hearts). A very tender
+letter which he writes to you, from a bed of sickness upon which his
+grief has prostrated him (ace of diamonds, nine of diamonds), soon reconciles
+you again, and as not long after something occurs which
+places him in a position to support a wife in comfort (seven of clubs),
+the happy marriage is celebrated. Dear relatives (king of hearts,
+king of diamonds, and queen of diamonds) prepare for you joyful
+surprises, which combine to render this day an infinitely happy
+one.</p>
+
+<p>One thing more: if the ten of hearts is the last card in the last
+row, the person in question will never marry; otherwise, each row
+counts a year. You first count the rows until you come to the nine
+of hearts (the betrothal), you then begin again and count to the ten
+of hearts (the wedding), that is, in case the nine comes after the ten.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">100</span>
+If the nine comes before the ten, you continue to count without recommencing.</p>
+
+<p>The young lady in question will therefore be betrothed in from two
+to three years, and will be married in about two years after, for the
+nine of hearts lies in the third row, and the ten in the second row.
+She has then almost five years to enjoy her single life before she becomes
+a wife.</p>
+
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h3><a id="TO_FIND_OUT_WHOM_ONE_IS"></a>TO FIND OUT WHOM ONE IS TO HAVE FOR A HUSBAND.</h3>
+
+<p>You select the four kings from a pack, and lay them side by side
+in a row upon the table.</p>
+
+<p>The lady who wishes to know her fortune gives to each of these
+cards the name of some gentleman of her acquaintance who might be
+likely to woo her in marriage. It is usual to pronounce these names
+aloud before the company. The name given to the king of hearts is,
+however, an exception. This secret the lady keeps to herself. To
+these four kings, you can also add a queen, which then denotes the
+old maid.</p>
+
+<p>Now, take the rest of the pack, shuffle it thoroughly, let the person
+in question cut three times and commence. Under each of the
+above named picture cards you lay a card in turn, and as often as a
+spade is placed under a spade, a heart under a heart, &c., that is, as
+often as a card of the same suit is placed under one of these picture
+cards, the picture card is turned from its position.</p>
+
+<p>The first time it takes a direction from left to right, the second
+time it lies upside down, the third time it is raised again to a position
+from right to left, and the fourth and last time it regains its former
+upright position.</p>
+
+<p>That one of the four kings, who, after these different changes, first
+resumes his upright position, is to be the happy husband. If it should
+happen to be the old maid, you can imagine what is in store for you.</p>
+
+<p>After having learned from the cards who is to be the husband, the
+questions next asked are, usually: How much will he love his wife,
+why he marries her, and what is his profession. These questions are
+answered in the following manner:</p>
+
+<p>Gather up the cards, shuffle them thoroughly, and let the person
+cut them three times. Then tell off the cards upon the table, as you
+recite the following sentence:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">Heartily, painfully,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Beyond all measure,</div>
+ <div class="verse">By fits and starts,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Not a bit in the world.</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>You repeat this sentence until the king of hearts makes his appearance.
+If it happens that, as you lay this upon the table, you pronounce
+the word “heartily,” he will love his future wife heartily, and so on.</p>
+
+<p>Now, as to why he marries her. Count off the cards upon the
+table, while you repeat the following sentence:</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">101</span></p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">For love, for her beauty,</div>
+ <div class="verse">For his parents’ command,</div>
+ <div class="verse">For her bright, golden dollars,</div>
+ <div class="verse">For counsel of friends.</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>The sentence by which you discover what is his profession is the
+following:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">Gentleman, alderman, clergyman, doctor,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Merchant, broker, professor, major,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Mechanic, lawyer, shipmaster, tailor.</div>
+</div></div></div>

+you have not the book to find more particular answers.</p>

+BE FULFILLED.</h3>
+
+<p>Take a pack of cards, shuffle it, and let the person inquiring cut
+three times; then place singly five cards upon the table, and upon
+each of these cards another, taken from the top, and so on, until the
+pack is exhausted, and the cards are divided into five nearly equal
+heaps.</p>
+
+<p>The person in question now selects a suit, spades or clubs, &c.—or
+a card may previously be drawn to determine the suit.</p>
+
+<p>Suppose diamonds is the chosen suit: you take up the first heap,
+and throw away all the cards until you come to a matadore of diamonds.
+(The matadores are the ace, king, queen, knave and ten.)
+You do the same with the other heaps. If any one of the heaps does
+not contain a matadore, you cast it entirely aside.</p>
+
+<p>The heaps which are left you now place one upon another in order,
+beginning at the left hand, and, without shuffling them, you lay them
+in five heaps, and proceed as before. This time there are, of course,
+fewer cards, beside matadores, than before. After having cast aside
+the cards which you meet with before finding a matadore, you take
+up the heaps, and, without shuffling them, lay them in five heaps, for
+the third time. This third and last time, you must, if your wish is to
+be fulfilled, be able to discard all the cards except the matadores. If
+any other cards are left in the heaps, your wish will not be granted.</p>

+
+<p>The telling of fortunes by the spots on Dominoes and Dice is a

+astrologers and fortune-tellers. The calculations have all to
+be made by drawing a horoscope from each domino and the spots on
+each side of a die; therefore the process is exceedingly tedious. We
+have given in the following pages the results of three years’ experimental
+labor on this subject; not constant labor, for there are but a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">102</span>
+few hours in each year when the stars are in the right position to
+draw the horoscope of any particular domino. A good many of the

+
+<h4>SIGNIFICATION OF THE DOMINOES.</h4>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Six.</span> Denotes much riches by speculation, and a happy
+and prolific marriage. It is not good to farmers as far as relates to
+crops and success in their calling, but it foretells that their lands will
+rise in value, and that they can make money by selling out. If a girl
+turns this domino to learn her fate in matrimonial matters, it is a sign
+she will marry rich, and have a large family of children.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-Five.</span> If you are in search of employment, this domino shows
+that you will succeed by proper perseverance. If in love, do not be
+discouraged by any rebuffs, for success awaits you. If you have
+planted a crop, or about to plant one, it will yield nobly. In money
+matters exclusively, you may not be fortunate, as the domino is not<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">103</span>
+lucky for money. If your wife is about to give birth to a child, and
+you try your fortune with special reference to such birth, this domino
+foretells its early death. If you are about to buy real estate, you will
+be lucky in the purchase—if to buy silverware, jewelry, or a watch,
+you will get cheated. If you expect a legacy, you will probably be
+lucky and get it.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-Four.</span> This domino denotes early marriage and much happiness;
+the sexes of the children will be about equally divided, and
+they will live, but will leave home early—the girls to marry, and the
+boys to do for themselves. It denotes neither poverty nor riches.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-Three.</span> This domino denotes constancy and affection. It is
+an excellent domino for lovers, who will marry early, and enjoy
+much happiness. It is also a sign of riches and honors; and no
+troubles of any account will mar your fortune. There is some danger,
+however, that you will die at middle age, but if you survive that period
+you will live to a good old age.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-Two.</span> Is an excellent domino for lovers, as it foretells a happy
+marriage. A gentleman turning this domino, will get an orderly and
+economical wife, and a lady will have equal good fortune in a thrifty
+and industrious husband. Those who turn this domino for luck in
+business matters, will realize all and more than they expect. To
+dishonest and selfish people, however, the domino is fatal. If it is
+turned to determine the result of any scheme that is not fair and
+above-board, it foretells ill-success and exposure. To a married lady
+who expects to present her husband with an heir, it presents a beautiful
+and healthy child, and one who will excel as a mathematician,
+and (if a boy) will probably become distinguished.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-One.</span> This domino foretells to young people that they will
+marry twice, and the second marriage will be the happiest of the two.
+To married people it is a sign they will be better off in middle age
+than when young, and that one child will be faithful and remain with
+them, while the others will seek their fortunes away from home.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six-Blank.</span> If you turn this domino you will hear of the death of
+an esteemed friend, or an acquaintance—will experience the loss of a
+relative or member of your family—or some one will die in whom you
+are interested. To a farmer, or the owner of horses or other animals,
+it may denote the loss of some of the animals rather than human
+beings; but it foretells death in some shape, and may even mean to
+warn you of your own decease.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Five.</span> Is a decidedly lucky domino in everything you undertake.
+It foretells success in all enterprises, but does not assure
+you that you will become rich.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five-Four.</span> This domino shows to a lady that she will probably
+marry a poor man, have a large family of children, and then become
+a widow. He may be pretty well off, to appearance, when she marries
+him, but if it be so, she will find that he has debts and expensive
+habits that will bring him to poverty and the grave. It is not a good
+domino for money matters, for if you have lost money, or if people
+owe you, the turning of this domino shows that you will not be apt<span class="pagenum" id="Page_104">104</span>
+to get the cash. To a farmer it is a sign of good crops; but it is also
+a sign that something unfortunate will occur in connection with the
+farm—such as cattle lost or injured, or property of some kind destroyed.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five-Three.</span> Denotes ample means, without any other peculiarity
+of fortune. If you turn this domino you may calculate you will
+never be poor, and may become quite wealthy. But to one already
+wealthy, it shows that though he may not become poor, he will never
+be any better off than he then is, and perhaps not so well off. To
+young people the domino denotes comfortable circumstances after
+marriage, but not over-zealous love. It shows no positive bad luck
+in love matters, at the same time that it does not assure you of devoted
+attachment of your proposed partner for life, of either sex. On
+the whole, it is a pretty fair domino for any one to turn.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five-Two.</span> If you are in love, you will probably be unfortunate;
+for though you may get the person you want, and an apparently
+happy marriage may follow, it will prove an unhappy one in the end.
+Nevertheless, your happiness may continue for some time after marriage.
+To a gentleman this domino foretells a thrifty and industrious
+wife, though one with an unhappy temper or disposition. To a single
+lady it denotes thrift and independence as long as she remains
+single. If a man is engaged in a speculation, or is about starting any
+new enterprise, he will not be likely to succeed. If you are a candidate
+for office, you will be defeated. On the whole, this is not a
+lucky domino for gentlemen, though for ladies it is a pretty fair one.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five-One.</span> Is a jolly domino for persons fond of excitement. It
+predicts that you will receive an invitation to a dinner, or social gathering,
+or to some place where you will enjoy yourself. If a married
+lady turns this domino it is a sign she will present her husband with
+a triple addition to his family—all boys. To a young lady it predicts
+a beau, who will not be rich or refined, but rather a rough customer,
+and she will discard him and marry another. If you expect to earn
+or to receive money, this domino is one of disappointment.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five-Blank.</span> If a man turns it, he will be either a gambler or a
+rich rogue, if he has brains enough, and if his intellect is not sufficient,
+he will probably be a small swindler, or the favored lover of a
+lewd woman, or both. Although these will be his characteristics,
+yet circumstances may place him in a different position; but he will
+always be mercenary, selfish, impudent, and without pride of character.
+To a girl this domino foretells an unhappy marriage, and misfortune
+by that means; but if she remains single, and keeps clear of
+lovers, she will avoid the ill omen.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Four.</span> Is a good and smooth domino for lovers, for farmers,
+and for laboring people of all kinds. On the contrary, lawyers, doctors,
+or professional men who turn it, will probably have a spell of
+hard times to encounter. To little girls and boys it predicts that they
+will soon be invited to a party, and have much pleasure. If any one
+is about to give a party, and turns this domino, he or she may count
+on a first-rate time, for everything will go on well, and the party<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">105</span>
+will be a decided success. It likewise predicts that a wedding will
+come off very soon.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Four-Three.</span> Those who turn this domino will marry young, live
+happily, and will not probably have more than one child that will
+live. It denotes neither poverty nor riches. To a couple who are
+childless, it is a sign of a second marriage. If a married person who
+has children turns this domino, it is a sign that the family will be reduced
+by death or long absence.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Four-Two.</span> Foretells a change in your circumstances, condition,
+family, relations, or your ideas. It is not known what the change
+will be, but that there will really be a change, fate has ordained. It
+may be nothing at all serious, or it may be something that will affect
+your whole life. For instance, a young person who turns this domino
+may get married—that will be an important change, but whether the
+marriage will be a happy one, is not known. A married person may
+lose their partner—a man may fail in business, or may become pious
+and join the church—a family may break up housekeeping and take
+board, or may lose a favorite child. Indeed, a thousand little incidents
+may occur in life which will cause a change in your usual routine.
+To farmers and persons who work hard for a living, the change
+will probably be a favorable or happy one. To rich and lazy people
+it will be an unfortunate one. To any other than these two classes
+it is uncertain what the nature of it will be. If you have offended
+your lover, or any particular friend, this domino shows that you will
+soon make up and become stronger friends than ever. It is a lucky
+domino for farmers in business matters, although it does not point
+out any particular good fortune that awaits them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Four-One.</span> Those who turn this domino will marry happily, and
+no uncommon event will mar their nuptials: the omen connected
+with it usually points to childless couples who are well off; and I
+find that where children are born, the parties will lose their wealth
+and position in proportion to the number of their offspring, which
+will never exceed four. In most cases there will be no children, but
+ample means.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Four-Blank.</span> Is an unfortunate domino for lovers, as it foretells
+quarrels and separations, old maids and old bachelors. A girl who
+has a lover, and turns this domino to find out his peculiarities, had
+better look somewhere else at once, for she will certainly either lose
+or discard him. It is the same with a gentleman—he will never
+marry the girl he then expects to, and may be jilted. To married
+people the domino gives a prolific promise. A married lady who
+turns it will probably have twins or triplets at her next maternity.
+If you think to entrust a secret to a friend, this domino denotes that
+it will not be kept. It also foretells that your future husband or
+wife will be a very credulous person—perhaps a believer in Spiritualism
+or some other absurd doctrine.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Three.</span> Denotes immense riches, but has no allusion to
+matrimony. It is an excellent domino for any one to turn, as it
+points to money in abundance, and does not intimate any unhappi<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">106</span>ness:
+therefore, the person who turns it will get plenty of cash, and
+be happy or not, as fate may ordain.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Three-Two.</span> Is a fortunate domino in the following cases: marriage,
+love-making, recovering stolen property, going on a journey,
+entering into a speculation, planting a crop, collecting a debt, or making
+a purchase. This domino shows also that you may be lucky in
+collecting some old claim or debt that you had given up as lost. It
+is bad for gamblers, for a woman about to give birth to a child, and
+for peddlers.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Three-One.</span> A young girl who turns this domino will be in danger
+of losing her chastity; therefore let her be careful. A married woman
+turning it will have an outside admirer who will flatter her with
+a view to an improper intimacy. To a man it foretells the loss of
+money through his illicit intercourse with the opposite sex. It is not
+a favorable domino to any one.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Three-Blank.</span> This domino denotes that your sweetheart is artful
+and deceitful. If you get married, your wife will be either shrewish,
+or vain and unprincipled, and perhaps run away and disgrace you.
+To a girl it foretells a putty-head of a husband—one who is easily
+influenced, and whom she can wind round her finger. If you turn this
+domino, it is a sign you will soon be invited to a party and there
+make a new acquaintance, with whom you will afterwards have a quarrel.
+If a married man or woman turns it, it predicts a family quarrel.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Two.</span> The turning of this domino denotes success in love
+matters and much happiness in the married state, together with good
+children who will live and be prosperous. It also denotes success
+in any undertaking, and thrift, though not great riches.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Two-One.</span> The turning of this domino denotes to a lady that she
+will marry young, and that her husband will die, leaving her a large
+property, and childless. For a long time she will be a gay, rich
+widow, but will be caught at last, and marry happily. To a young
+man it denotes a life of luxury; he will never marry, but will be a
+favorite of the ladies, and have several mistresses. It is not a good
+domino for business men, as it foretells losses by failures.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Two-Blank.</span> The turning of this domino denotes poverty and bad
+luck. To a marriageable young woman it predicts a poor, dissipated
+and dishonest husband. On the birth of a child—if a boy, it is a
+sign that he will be poor and shiftless, and perhaps dishonest—if a
+girl, that she will not marry well. It is not a bad domino for a girl
+who lives unmarried, for she may do very well alone. It is a domino
+of good luck to thieves and bad people. If they turn it, it is a sign
+of success in any dishonest undertaking. Should you turn this domino
+in reference to a journey, it shows that you will go in safety. It
+predicts an easy deliverance in case you are attacked and should be
+obliged to defend yourself.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Ace.</span> Denotes affectionate constancy and happiness in the
+marriage state. It is an excellent domino to turn, both for lovers
+and married people, as besides the above it indicates a competency
+of this world’s goods.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">107</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Double-Blank.</span> To turn this domino is the worst sign in the whole
+set, and is only favorable to misers, usurers, gamblers, and unprincipled
+cheats and seducers. To any heartless, selfish person, the turning
+of this domino foretells good luck—to all others disappointment.
+We hope that no young girl turning a domino to ascertain her fortune
+as to marriage will turn this one, for it surely foretells disappointment
+and sorrow. If she has a lover, and should he marry her,
+he will desert her afterwards. In business matters, too, it is decidedly
+unfavorable, and is a sign that your business will decrease. If
+you are wanting a situation, you will not be likely to get it, and if
+anything is lost or stolen, it will not probably be recovered again.
+It is generally a pretty bad domino for decent people—but a good
+one for all the dishonest ones, who, if they have got anything by
+trickery and fraud, will be apt to enjoy it.</p>

+<h3><a name="METHOD_OF_TELLING_FORTUNES_WITH" id="METHOD_OF_TELLING_FORTUNES_WITH">METHOD OF TELLING FORTUNES WITH
+DICE.</a></h3>
+
+
+<p>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 have previously
+drawn a circle with chalk; count the number of spots on the
+uppermost sides of the dice, and look at the signification of the numbers,
+as given below. Be careful and do not attempt to tell your fortune
+on Mondays or Wednesdays, as they are unlucky days for dice.
+To throw the same number twice at one trial, shows news from
+abroad, be the numbers what they may. If the dice roll over the
+circle, the number thrown goes for nothing, but the occurrence shows
+sharp words, and if they fall to the floor, it is blows; in throwing out
+the dice, if one remains on top of the other, it is a present of which
+I leave the ladies to take care.</p>
+
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h4><a id="SIGNIFICATION_OF_THE_SPOTS_ON_DICE"></a>SIGNIFICATION OF THE SPOTS ON DICE.</h4>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Three.</span> If a young girl throws this number, (three aces,) it foretells
+that she will have numerous lovers, and if she marries will have
+a good crop of children, and then become a widow. To a young man
+it denotes that he will never marry, but will be a great favorite of the
+ladies, and probably a gay seducer. If a married person throws it,
+he or she will become a widower or widow, as the case may be.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Four.</span> To throw this number denotes frivolity in love matters.
+Unmarried persons who throw it will have many lovers or sweethearts,
+and will not be fully satisfied with either. It foretells to a
+married woman that her husband admires the sex generally quite as
+much as he does her; but it also denotes that she will have many
+children, and that both herself and husband will live to raise them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Five.</span> To throw this number of spots of the dice, foretells good<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">108</span>
+luck in a land speculation to any one who is about buying lands. It
+is a very good number for farmers, prognosticating a fortunate season
+to come. To lovers it shows that some obstacle will present itself to
+their marriage, or else that they will quarrel. In a family it is a sign
+that some person will soon visit there that is not welcome. If you
+are about to go a journey, and throw this number, you will meet
+some one who will bother you, or that you dislike, or else some disagreeable
+accident will happen; but the accident will not be serious.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Six.</span> If a girl throws this number, (three deuces,) it denotes that she
+will be of gay disposition and have many lovers, but will never marry;
+if she escapes illicit connections, she will be fortunate, and probably get
+some money by will. To a young man it denotes that he will marry
+a gay wife, who will be of loose principles; and also that he himself
+will keep a mistress, and perhaps become a gambler. He will not be
+poor as long as he is young and attractive, but he will either die
+young or become poor in middle age. To gamblers, the throwing of
+this number is a sign of success in winning money.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Seven.</span> If a man throws this number it foretells that he will never
+marry, but will be lucky in business speculations. A young lady
+who throws it will be apt to marry a wealthy husband, though he
+may not be an agreeable companion. To farmers and mechanics it is
+not a particularly bad number, though it does not promise them much
+success, and it foretells that they will have pretty hard work to keep
+even with the world.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Eight.</span> This is the miser’s throw; those who throw it will probably
+be well off, though not rich. It foretells a miserly or stingy disposition,
+and a character too close in money matters to be very prosperous.
+If a girl throw this to test the character of her lover, she
+may be assured that he will not be poor, though it is possible he may
+lead her an unhappy life from his selfish and penurious habits.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Nine.</span> If you throw this number with the dice with reference to
+your future husband or wife, be assured that you will be lucky in
+your choice. It foretells an orderly, energetic and industrious person.
+I should not want a better wife than this number predicts. To a
+young girl it does not promise riches with a husband, but it foretells
+thrift and plenty, and that she may be rich, too. It is a fair business
+throw also—foretelling pretty good luck in everything except games
+of chance, and predicting bad luck in such games.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Ten.</span> If a young girl throws this number, she will not marry very
+soon, and perhaps not at all; but she will have good luck in other
+matters, and rise above her present position in society. If a man
+throws it, he will get a rich wife. It is a favorable number to the
+male sex in love matters. A married woman who throws it will rise
+in the world, or have a legacy left to her.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Eleven.</span> This throw foretells extravagance and fondness of show
+and display. Those who throw it, or for whose fortune it may be
+thrown, will probably have the command of means, but all will be
+spent in gimcracks, parties of pleasure, and in adorning the person;
+and though they may not come to poverty, they will leave nothing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_109">109</span>
+but debt to their heirs. To laboring people it denotes that they will
+be always in debt, and live above their means.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Twelve.</span> Shows that an event of some kind is soon to occur in
+your affairs, either for good or evil. To a farmer or a laboring man
+it will probably be fortunate, but it may be otherwise. To a banker,
+a money-dealer, or a jeweler, it is generally a bad omen—to other
+trades, uncertain. It has no special reference to love matters.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Thirteen.</span> I hope no virtuous young girl will ever be so unfortunate
+as to throw this number, unless she be possessed of a resolution as firm
+as a rock, for it foretells that she will be sorely tempted to become
+profligate. It is emphatically the throw of an unchaste female. If a
+man throws this number, it is a sign that he will never marry, but
+will associate with harlots, or live with a woman who is not his wife;
+if he throws it with a view to discover the character of his lady-love,
+he may guess the result.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fourteen.</span> This is the gambler’s throw, and denotes dishonesty
+and an unprincipled disposition in men, and misfortune in women. If
+a man throws it, he will be either a gambler or a rich rogue, if he
+has brains enough, and if his intellect is not sufficient, he will probably
+be a small swindler, or the favored lover of a lewd woman, or
+both. Although these will be his characteristics, yet circumstances
+may place him in a different position, but he will always be mercenary,
+selfish, impudent, and without pride of character. To a girl
+this number foretells an unhappy marriage, and misfortune by that
+means; but if she remains single, and keeps clear of lovers, she will
+avoid the ill omen.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fifteen.</span> If you are a speculating character—a buyer of lottery
+tickets or lottery policies, or are engaged in any games of chance,
+such as gambling, horse-racing, shooting at a mark, betting, or in
+fact any scheme that you expect to win money by, this number foretells
+bad luck and discomfiture. If you try to test your luck in any
+such matters, and this number turns up, you may be sure you will
+lose, and had better give up at once. If you want to buy land, you
+will be apt to get a good bargain and be fortunate. This number
+foretells good luck to a farmer putting in his crops, and the same to
+a girl choosing a husband; for though she may not get a rich man,
+yet he will be industrious, thrifty, comfortable, and good-hearted. To
+consumptive people this throw is not a favorable one, as in many
+cases it predicts a short life to them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Sixteen.</span> This is an unlucky number to a merchant, a banker, or a
+mechanic. It foretells bad luck of some kind, though it is generally
+a forerunner of a brisk and profitable business. An excellent run of
+business may come first, and the bad luck afterwards, or <i>vice versa</i>,
+but the misfortune is sure to come in somewhere. To a farmer this
+throw foretells abundant crops, and to a gold-digger good luck and
+plenty of the precious metal. A young girl who throws it will get a
+thrifty husband, and have a numerous family.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Seventeen.</span> If you are a girl, and think of getting married, you
+will be apt to lose your lover unless he is a farmer, a gardener, a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">110</span>
+well-digger, a gold-miner, a brewer, a coal-heaver, a grave-digger, or
+some occupation that makes him use a shovel a good deal. If you
+think of marrying any such man, this throw is a good one. For a
+man of any other occupation, it foretells disappointment. To a young
+man, this number shows that by perseverance and industry he will
+do well in the world—that his luck will be good if he only tries his
+best to get along. If you have had anything stolen from you, or
+have lost valuable property while walking or riding, this throw is unfavorable;
+you will probably never recover what you have lost.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Eighteen.</span> People who throw this number may congratulate themselves,
+as it foretells riches, honors, and a happy and contented life.
+It predicts unexceptionable prosperity in all kinds of business, good
+luck in love matters, and advancement to those who are honorably
+ambitious. To rogues and dishonest people it is an omen of discomfiture,
+detection and punishment.</p>

+
+
+<h4>1. <span class="smcap">Linea Vitalis.</span></h4>
+
+<p>If this line is wanting or nearly so, it is by no means a good sign.
+It signifies a feeble understanding, a faint heart, and a short, sickly
+life. This, however, is not the signification in every case; it often
+indicates, especially with the ladies, changeableness of feeling, a disposition
+easily influenced by others, and a proneness to enthusiasm.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">111</span></p>
+
+<div class="figleft">
+<img src="images/i_110.jpg" alt="Hand, naming lines and digits" />
+</div>
+
+<p>The length of life is in proportion to the
+length of the line of Life. It begins between
+♃ and ♀ and it is here that you
+commence with the prophecy.</p>
+
+<p>Each knot in this line denotes an obstacle,
+or, at least, something momentous in
+life. Each crossing by smaller lines, some
+unpleasant occurrence. The larger the
+cross, the greater the misfortune.</p>
+
+<p>In most cases one or more lines run
+from the Natural line to the line of Life.
+This indicates the partner of one’s life.
+The point where the junction takes place
+denotes the point of time of the marriage.
+If this occurs near the commencement of
+the line, of course the marriage will take
+place early in life. If two lines unite with
+the line of Life it indicates two husbands
+(or wives). If no line joins it, the person
+will remain unmarried.</p>
+
+<p>The clearer and more distinct the line
+of Life, the happier the person’s life.
+When it is fine, deep and sharply defined,
+it denotes an energetic, and at the same
+time a noble character.</p>
+
+
+<h4>2. <span class="smcap">Linea Naturalis.</span></h4>
+
+<p>A regular length and good appearance of this line denotes excellent
+digestive organs. Large crosses occurring in its course signify imprudence,
+precipitation.</p>
+
+
+<h4>3. <span class="smcap">Linea Mensalis.</span></h4>
+
+<p>If it is well defined it indicates an amorous temperament; if accompanied
+by a side line, it signifies good fortune in love and wedlock.
+If it is very broad, happiness in domestic life. If it is interrupted it
+denotes that sad calamity, infidelity.</p>
+
+
+<h4>4. <span class="smcap">Linea Hepatica.</span></h4>
+
+<p>If it is complete and tolerably long, it promises robust health, a
+clear understanding, and good humor. If it throws out branches
+near its commencement it signifies wit, acuteness, presence of mind,
+a spirit of mischief, perhaps falsehood.</p>
+
+
+<h4>5. <span class="smcap">Linea Rascetta.</span></h4>
+
+<p>When it is complete and unbroken, it denotes good fortune in all
+matters of importance.</p>
+
+<p>From the ring finger (Solis ⨀) there commonly runs one or more<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">112</span>
+lines into the Linea Mensalis. These denote the various inclinations
+of the heart. If but a single line is actually visible, and if this is
+deep and long, the person loves or will love faithfully and warmly.
+If a number of smaller lines are found in its place, the person is inconstancy
+itself, a butterfly roving from flower to flower. Add up all
+these little lines, and the sum will give you the number of times the
+person will fall in love.</p>

+<h2><a id="PHRENOLOGY_AND_PHYSIOGNOMY"></a>PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOGNOMY.</h2>
+
+<p>The science of Phrenology teaches how to discover from the formation
+of the skull the qualities of the soul, and to draw conclusions as
+to the character of an individual. The whole head, accordingly, is
+divided into organs. The following are the principal ones, and are
+all that are necessary for the reader’s instruction. To enter more
+deeply into the subject would exceed our limits.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1. Memory.</li>
+<li>2. Causality.</li>
+<li>3. Benevolence.</li>
+<li>4. Approbativeness.</li>
+<li>5. Painting.</li>
+<li>6. Energy.</li>
+<li>7. Imagination.</li>
+<li>8. Inclination to Melancholy.</li>
+<li>9. Mischievousness.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>(<i>See Engraving.</i>)</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_111.jpg" alt="Organs marked on image of head" />
+</div>
+
+<p>According as these organs are more or less elevated and well formed
+that peculiarity of character which they indicate is more or less present.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Physiognomy, or the Features of the Head and Face</span>, teaches
+us to judge of the character of a person and of events connected with
+his destiny from the shape, color and expression of his features. If
+my fair readers would like to know how many husbands they are to
+have, they have only to knit their eyebrows closely together, and
+count the folds of the skin formed by this movement.</p>
+
+<p>If they wish to see how many years they have to live, let them
+elevate their brows as much as possible, and then count the cross
+folds in the forehead. Subtract the number found from one hundred,
+and the remainder is the number of the years which it is allotted you
+to pass upon this earth.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">113</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Nose.</span> A bold, projecting nose, usually called a Roman
+nose, denotes an enterprising temper. In general a large nose is a
+good sign. A long nose is a sign of good sense, a stumpy one generally
+indicates the contrary. A perfectly straight nose denotes a
+high and noble spirit, unless the expression of the eyes contradicts
+this judgment, and then it denotes great stupidity. A turned up nose
+signifies a spirit of mischief, wit, forwardness, that is, if it is not too
+stumpy. A very small nose indicates good nature, yet at the same
+time a complete want of energy. A red nose denotes a cheerful temper,
+or an inclination to drink, as all the world knows.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Lips.</span> Very thick lips indicate either great stupidity or very
+great genius. Very fine thin lips denote falsehood, especially if they
+are usually compressed. Swelling lips, if generally compressed, denote
+great decision of character, a philosophical turn of mind, and
+oftentimes somewhat of obstinacy. A mouth always open says as
+plain as words can speak, “I am a calf.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of Dimples.</span> Dimples in the cheeks signify roguery. But the dimple
+in the chin the God of Love has himself imprinted with his own
+divine finger.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Eye.</span> The soul, however, dwells particularly in the eyes,
+and the faculty is inborn with every man to understand their language
+without ever having studied it. At least it should be so; the
+eyes should be like an open book, which all may read and understand.
+But as all eyes are not to be trusted, and will sometimes lead you
+astray, I will give you, my dear readers, a few rules to guide you in
+your path through life.</p>
+
+<p>A clear eye, with the pupil in continual, slightly tremulous movement,
+denotes a good memory, yet something of selfishness with slowness
+of comprehension.</p>
+
+<p>An eye which, while the person speaks, roves hither and thither,
+denotes a deceiver. Very quiet eyes which have an imposing effect
+upon you, and embarrass you by their great repose, signify great self-command,
+yet, at the same time, great self-complacency.</p>
+
+<p>Eyes which ordinarily appear impressive, yet often suddenly flash
+forth a clear pleasant light, denote true-heartedness and honesty,
+coupled with a sound understanding.</p>
+
+<p>Eyes which have always an inquisitive expression in them, and
+then suddenly, when they turn to address a person, have an exceedingly
+kind expression, are not to be trusted. This indicates a suspicious
+temper, and he who does not trust his fellow-man, can seldom
+himself be trusted.</p>
+
+<p>An eye in which the white has a yellowish tinge, and is streaked
+with reddish veins, denotes vehement passions.</p>
+
+<p>Very blue eyes, betray a temper inclined to coquetry.</p>
+
+<p>Gray eyes, intelligence.</p>
+
+<p>Greenish, falsehood, and a disposition to tittle-tattle.</p>
+
+<p>Yellowish, great phlegm.</p>
+
+<p>Black, a passionate lively temperament.</p>
+
+<p>Brown, a kind, good, happy disposition.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">114</span></p>
+
+<p>A pair of eyes which looks every one cheerfully and frankly in the
+face, with an air of simple joy and unaffected innocence, yet, when
+surprised, droops to the ground, with a certain sly bashfulness, or,
+when offended by another’s glance, turns aside blushing and confused,
+such a pair of eyes, indicates an amiable character, a faithful heart, a
+sound understanding, and a pure soul.</p>
+
+<p>A being with such a pair of eyes we cannot help loving, let the
+eyes be black, brown, blue, gray, green, or yellow, let the nose be
+stumpy, and the features ill-shaped, no one can help regarding their
+possessor with a feeling of hearty kindness and good will, if not with
+actual love.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Eye-Brows.</span> Upright eyebrows are amiable; the eyebrows
+hanging over, indicate an effeminate person; the brows very
+hairy, denote an industrious, affectionate man; the brows extending
+to the temples, usually signify a slovenly man.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Ears.</span> Open ears usually indicate but little reason; great
+ears not too much wisdom; very small ears foolishness; square ears
+of medium size, prudence.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Nostrils.</span> The nostrils thick and strong, betoken strength;
+if round, fair, and drawn in length, they are a sign that the person is
+merry and courageous; if narrow and round, they are mostly indicative
+of an envious and foolish person.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Mouth.</span> A very large mouth, with the upper lip hanging
+over, usually signifies a foolish, unsteady person, a rash man and a
+babbler. A mouth not too large, indicates a bold and courageous
+man; and a small mouth, a clever man.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Face.</span> A lean face is an indication of a wise man; the face
+plain and fat, denotes a person addicted to strife. The face without
+any rising and swelling, indicates a penurious person; a sad face
+sometimes denotes foolishness, and at other times wisdom; a fat face
+indicates a man to be inclined to untruth; a round face signifies folly;
+a great face denotes a man slow about business; a well-proportioned
+face indicates a person to have virtuous qualities.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Nails on the Fingers.</span> 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. White long nails denote much sickness, but
+are sometimes indicative of strength and deceit. If upon the white
+anything appears at the extremity that is pale, it denotes short life;
+but if the white is clear and smooth, it signifies long life.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Head.</span> A large head shows a person stupid, and dull of
+apprehension; also a very small head signifies the same; but the
+head of a man being neither great nor small, is the prognostic of a
+wise man; for all extremes are irregular and a deviation from nature,
+and experience has made it manifest, that a great head and small
+members do always produce great indiscretion and folly in either man
+or woman; but we must also consider the several parts of the head:
+and first,</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Of the Forehead.</span> A large forehead shows a liberal man; but<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">115</span>
+the forehead narrow, denotes a foolish person; a long forehead shows
+one apt to learn; a high forehead, swelling and round, is a sign of a
+crafty man, and a coward; a forehead full of wrinkles, shows a man
+to be envious and crafty.</p>
+
+<p>But in forming your opinions of men from these or other indications,
+you should always bear in mind that there is no rule without
+an exception.</p>

+
+<h3><a id="FORTUNE-TELLING_BY_MOLES"></a>FORTUNE-TELLING BY MOLES.</h3>
+
+<p>These little marks on the skin, although they appear to be the
+effect of chance, or accident, and might easily pass with the unthinking
+for things of no moment, are nevertheless of the utmost consequence,
+since from their color, situation, size, and figure, may be
+accurately gathered the temper of, and the events that will happen
+to the person bearing them; though moles are, in their substances,
+nothing else than excrescences, or ebullitions which proceed from the
+state of the blood whilst the fœtus is confined in the womb, yet they
+are not given in vain, as they are generally characteristic of the disposition
+and temper of those that bear them; and it is also proved by
+daily experience, that from the shape, situation, and other 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 herein the common prognostications by moles
+found in 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 will be the prosperity
+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 oblong,
+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 prosperous.</p>
+
+<p>We shall further remark only, that moles of a middling size and
+color are those which we are now going to speak of. The rest may
+be gathered from what we have just above mentioned, but as it may
+frequently happen that modesty will sometimes hinder persons from
+showing their moles, you must depend upon their own representation
+of them for your opinion.</p>
+
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h4><a id="SIGNIFICATION_OF_MOLES"></a>SIGNIFICATION OF MOLES.</h4>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Arm.</span> (<i>Right or Left.</i>) Show a courteous disposition, great forti<span class="pagenum" id="Page_116">116</span>tude,
+resolution, industry, and conjugal fidelity; it foretells that the
+person will fight many battles, and be successful in all; that you
+will be prosperous in your undertakings, obtain a decent competency,
+and live very happy—it denotes that a man will be a widower at
+forty, but in a woman it shows that she will be survived by her husband.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Ankle.</span> Shows an effeminate disposition, given to foppery in dress,
+and cowardice in a man; but in a woman it denotes courage, wit,
+and activity—they foretell success in life with an agreeable partner,
+accumulation of honors and riches, and much pleasure in the affairs
+of love.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Anus.</span> Around outside this place, a mole predicts that you will be
+indolent, shiftless and poor, though of good capacity.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Arm-Pits.</span> You will be very good looking, will become rich, and
+be benevolent.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Back.</span> If just below either of the shoulder blades, it signifies that
+you will have misfortune and defeat in the enterprises you may undertake.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Belly.</span> Shows an indolent, slothful disposition, given to gluttony,
+very selfish, addicted to the pleasures of love and drink, negligent of
+dress, and cowardly; it denotes small success in life, many crosses,
+some imprisonment, and travelling, with losses by sea; but it foretells
+that you will marry an agreeable partner of a sweet temper,
+have children, who will be industrious and become very respectable
+in life.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Bosom.</span> Shows a quarrelsome and unhappy temper, given to low
+debauchery, and exceedingly amorous, indolent and unsteady; it denotes
+a life neither very prosperous nor very miserable, but passed
+without many friends or much esteem.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Breast.</span> A mole on the right breast shows an intemperate and indolent
+disposition, rather given to drink, strongly attached to the
+joys of love; it denotes much misfortune in life, with a sudden reverse
+from riches to poverty—many unpleasant and disagreeable accidents,
+with a sober and industrious partner—many children, mostly girls,
+who will all marry well, and be a great comfort to your old age; it
+warns you to beware of pretended friends, who will harm you much.
+A mole on the left breast shows an industrious and sober disposition,
+amorous, and much given to walking; it denotes great success in life
+and in love, that you will accumulate riches, and have many children,
+mostly boys, who will make their fortunes by sea.</p>
+
+<p>A mole under the left breast under the heart, shows a rambling,
+unsettled disposition, given to drinking and little careful of your actions;
+very amorous, and much given to indulge indiscriminately in
+the pleasures of love, in a man. In a woman it indicates sincerity
+in love, industry, and a strict regard for character; in life it denotes
+a varied mixture of good and bad fortune, the former rather prevailing;
+it denotes imprisonment for debt, but not of long duration. To
+a woman it denotes easy labors, and children who will become rich,
+live happy and respected, and marry well.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">117</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Buttocks.</span> Signifies shiftlessness and poverty, though a good
+capacity; it is a sign that you will be too lazy to do anything for
+yourself.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Cheek.</span> A mole on either cheek, shows an industrious, benevolent
+and sober disposition, given to be grave and solemn, little inclined to
+amorous sports, but of a steady courage and unshaken fortitude; it
+denotes a moderate success in life, neither becoming rich nor falling
+into poverty—it also foretells an agreeable and industrious partner,
+with two children, who will do better than the parents.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Chin.</span> A mole on the chin shows an amiable and tranquil disposition,
+industrious and much inclined to travelling, and the joys of
+Venus; it denotes that the person will be highly successful in life,
+accumulating a large and splendid fortune, with many respectable
+and worthy friends, an agreeable conjugal partner, and fine children,
+but also indicates losses by sea and in foreign countries.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Ear.</span> On either ear it denotes riches in man or woman. If on the
+lower tip of the ear, keep off the water, or you will be drowned.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Elbow.</span> A mole on either elbow shows a restless and unsteady
+disposition, with a great desire for travelling—much discontented in
+the married state and of an idle turn; it indicates no very great prosperity,
+rather a sinking than rising condition, with many unpleasant
+adventures, much to your discredit—marriage to a person who will
+make you unhappy, and children who will be disobedient, and cause
+you much trouble.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Eye.</span> A mole on the outside corner of either eye shows a sober,
+honest, and steady disposition, much inclined to the pleasures of love;

+
+<p><span class="smcap"><a id="EYEBROW"></a>Eyebrow.</span> A mole on the right eyebrow signifies a sprightly, active
+disposition, a great turn for gallantry, much courage, and great
+perseverance; it denotes wealth and success in love, war and business;

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Forehead.</span> If the mole is in the centre of the forehead it predicts
+an active, industrious disposition, success in business, riches, honors,
+a happy marriage, and a son who will be distinguished. But if the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">118</span>
+mole is on the side of the forehead, the signification is not so favorable,
+particularly if on the left side. (<i>See <a href="#EYEBROW">Eyebrow</a>.</i>) On the right side
+of the forehead, or right temple, shows an active and industrious disposition,

+riches and honors, and have a son, who will become a great

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Hip.</span> A mole on either hip shows a contented disposition, given to
+industry, amorous and faithful in engagements, of an abstemious

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Knee.</span> A mole on the left knee shows a hasty and passionate disposition,

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Navel.</span> On a woman it denotes many children, a good husband,

+have a son who will be distinguished.</p>

+and honest disposition, extremely disposed to gallantry, and the joys
+of Venus, given to sobriety, and of undaunted courage; it denotes
+great success in the latter part of life, but many and severe misfortunes
+in the former, which will be borne with fortitude; it also foretells
+a happy marriage and fine children, who will be happy, thrive
+well, and grow rich and respectable: in man it shows that he will
+have natural children, who will cut a great figure in life, but he will
+experience much plague and vexation from their mother.</p>

+unruly disposition, always inclined to dispute for trifles, rather indolent,
+but much inclined to the pleasures of love, and faithful to the
+conjugal vows. It denotes a life not much varied either with pleasures

+in business, but dangers by sea. On the right shoulder shows
+a person of a prudent and discreet temper, one possessed of much
+wisdom, given to great secrecy, very industrious, but not very amorous,
+yet faithful to conjugal ties; it indicates great prosperity and advancement

+from a journey to a distant country, about the age of thirty-five.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Side.</span> On either side, near any part of the ribs, shows an indolent,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_120">120</span>
+cowardly disposition, given to excessive drinking, of an inferior capacity,

+life, rather of poverty than riches, little respected, a partner of an
+uneven and disagreeable temper, with undutiful children, who will
+fall into many difficulties.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Stomach.</span> If in the pit of the stomach, it shows a person of foppish
+disposition, with little common sense, though much industry; it
+also denotes riches. If lower down on the stomach, it is a sign that
+you will promise more than you will perform, but will nevertheless be
+highly esteemed.</p>

+show the person to be of an ingenious and industrious turn, faithful
+in his engagements, amorous and constant in his affections, rather of
+a saving disposition, with a great degree of sobriety and regularity in
+his dealings. It foreshows a comfortable acquisition of fortune, with
+a good partner, and beautiful children, but some disagreeable circumstances
+will happen about the age of thirty, which continue four or
+five years. In a man, it denotes being twice married—in a woman
+only once, but that she will survive her husband.</p>

+
+<h3>SIGNIFICATION OF THE NAILS.</h3>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Broad Nails.</span> The person that hath the nails thus, is of gentle nature,
+good, and pusillanimous, and a great fear to speak before great
+persons, or those by whom they are in subjection; as also being
+guilty of extreme bashfulness.</p>
+
+<p>If about these nails there happens to be an excoriation of the flesh,
+which is commonly called points—in these large nails it signifies the
+party given to luxury, yet fearful, but usually given to excess.</p>
+
+<p>When there is at the extremity a white mark, it signifies ruin
+through negligence. The party has more honesty than subtlety.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">White Nails.</span> He that hath the nails white and long, is sickly,
+and subject to much infirmity by fevers; he is neat but not very
+strong, because of his indispositions, much addicted to the company
+of women by whom he will be greatly deceived.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Narrow Nails.</span> The person with such nails, is desirous of attaining
+knowledge in the sciences; but is never long at peace with his
+neighbors. But if to narrowness they add some degree of length, the
+person will be led away by ambitious propensities, always aiming at
+things which he will be unable to obtain.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Round Nails.</span> These declare a hasty person, yet good-natured and
+very forgiving; a lover of knowledge, liberal sentiment, doing no one
+any harm, and acting by his own principles, but too proud of his own
+abilities.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Long Nails.</span> When the nails are long, the person is of a good-natured
+turn, but placing confidence in no man, being from his youth
+familiar with duplicity, but not practising it, from his strict adherence
+to virtue.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fleshy Nails.</span> This description of nail indicates an idler, loving
+to sleep, eat, and drink; not delighting in bustle and busy life; one
+who prefers a narrow income without industry, to one of opulence to
+be acquired by activity and diligence.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Little Nails.</span> Little round nails discover a person to be obstinately
+angry, seldom pleased, inclining to hate every one, as conceiving
+himself superior to others, though without any reason.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Pale or Lead-colored Nails.</span> A melancholy person, one who
+through choice leads a sedentary life, and would willingly give up
+all things for the sake of study, and to improve in the learned and
+metaphysical branches of philosophy.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">122</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Red and spotted Nails.</span> Choleric and martial, delighting in cruelty
+and war; his chief pleasure being in plundering towns, where
+every ferocious particle in human nature is glutted to satiety.</p>
+
+<p>When you find any black spots upon the nails, they always signify
+evil, as white ones are a token of good.</p>

+
+<h3>FORTUNE-TELLING BY TEA OR COFFEE
+GROUNDS.</h3>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">To pour out the grounds of a tea or coffee cup.</span>—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, and the figures required for fortune-telling be formed.</p>
+
+<p>The person who acts as the fortune-teller, must always bend his or
+her thoughts upon him or her who is to have their fortune told, and
+on their rank in life, and profession, in order to give plausibility to
+the predictions. It is not to be expected that upon taking up the cup,
+the figures will be accurately represented as they are in reality, but
+it will be quite sufficient if they bear some resemblance to any of the
+emblems; and the more fertile the fancy is of the person that inspects
+the cup, the more he or she will discover in it.</p>
+
+<p>In other respects, every one who takes a pleasure in this amusement,
+must be a judge under what circumstances he or she is to make
+changes in point of time—speaking, just as it suits, in the present, the
+past, or the future; in the same manner, their ingenuity ought to
+direct them when to speak more or less pointedly with regard to sex.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Roads</span>, or separate lines, indicate ways; if they are covered
+with clouds, and, consequently, in the thick, they are said to be infallible
+marks, either of many great or future reverses. But if they
+appear in the clear and serene, are the surest token of some fortunate
+change near at hand; encompassed with many points or dots, they
+signify either a gain of money, or long life.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Ring</span> signifies marriage; if a letter is near it, it denotes to the
+person that has their 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 friendship; if surrounded with clouds, the contrary. But if
+the ring appear at the bottom of the cup, it forebodes the probability
+of a separation.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Leaf of Clover</span> is, as well here as in common life, a lucky
+sign. Its different position in the cup alone makes the difference;
+because, if it be on the top, it shows that the good fortune is not far
+distant; but it is subject to delay, if it be in the middle or at the
+bottom. Should clouds surround it, it shows that many disagreeables
+will attend the good fortune; in the clear, it prognosticates serene
+and undisturbed happiness.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Anchor.</span> The emblem of hope and commerce, implies success<span class="pagenum" id="Page_123">123</span>ful
+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
+fidelity; but in thick and cloudy parts, it denotes inconstancy.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Serpent</span>, always the emblem of falsehood and enmity, is likewise
+here a general sign of an enemy. On the top or in the middle
+of the cup, it promises to the consulting party that by his always acting
+properly, his enemies will not be able to triumph over him; if in
+the thick or cloudy part, he must watch his temper and actions very
+carefully, to prevent great troubles.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Coffin.</span> The emblem of death, prognosticates the same thing
+here, or at least a long and tedious illness, if it be in the thick or
+turbid. In the clear, it denotes long life; if in the thick, at the top
+of the cup, it signifies a considerable estate likely to be made by cautious
+industry.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Dog</span>, being at all times the emblem of fidelity or envy, has also
+a two-fold meaning here. At the top, in the clear, it signifies true
+and faithful friends: if the image be surrounded with clouds and
+dashes, it shows that some whom you take for your friends are not
+to be depended on; but if the dog be at the bottom of the cup, take
+much care not to excite any person to envy or jealousy, or you will
+have to dread the effects of both.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Lily.</span> 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
+good spouse; if it be at the bottom, it denotes anger. In the clear,
+the lily further betokens a long and happy life; if clouded, or in the
+thick, it portends trouble and vexations.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Cross</span>, in general, predicts adversities; if it be at the top, and
+in the clear, it indicates that the misfortunes of the party will soon be
+at an end, or that he will, by careful conduct, easily get over them;
+but if it appear in the middle, or at the bottom of the thick, the
+party must expect many severe trials; if it appear with dots, either
+in clear or thick, it promises recompense for sorrow.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Clouds.</span> If they be more bright than dark, you may expect a
+good result from your hopes; but if they are black, you may give it
+up. Surrounded with dots, they imply success in trade, if you are
+saving, and not too venturesome; the brighter they are, the greater
+will be your happiness.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Sun</span>, is an emblem of the greatest luck and happiness, if in the
+clear; but in the thick, it denotes a great deal of illness; surrounded
+by dots or dashes, it foretells that, without much circumspection, an
+alteration will soon take place.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Moon.</span> If it appear in the clear, it denotes high honors; in
+the dark or thick parts, it implies disappointment and sadness, which
+will, however, pass without great prejudice. But if it be at the
+bottom of the cup, the consulting party may expect, by industry and
+prudent conduct, to be very fortunate.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Star</span> denotes happiness, if in the clear, and at the top of the
+cup; if clouded, or in the thick, it signifies long life, though exposed
+to various troubles. If dots are about it, it foretells fortune and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">124</span>
+respectability. Several dots denote good children; surrounded by
+dots, it predicts that, without good bringing up, they may cause you
+grief and vexation.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Mountains.</span> If it present only one mountain, it indicates the favor
+of people of rank; but several of them, especially in the thick, are
+signs of powerful enemies; in the clear, they signify the contrary, or
+friends in high life.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Letter.</span> Signifies both pleasant and unpleasant news. If this
+emblem is in the clear part, it denotes the speedy arrival of welcome
+news; surrounded with dots, it announces the arrival of a remittance
+of money; but hemmed in by clouds, it forebodes some melancholy
+or bad tidings, a loss, or some other accident; if it be in the clear,
+and accompanied by a heart, lovers may expect a favorable letter;
+but in the thick it denotes the contrary.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Tree.</span> One tree only is indicative of good health; a group of
+trees in the clear part, betokens misfortunes, but which may be
+avoided by carefulness and industrious habits; several trees, wide
+apart, promise that your wishes will be accomplished; if they be encompassed
+by dashes, it is a token that your fortune is in its blossom,
+and requires only your own care and prudence to bring it to maturity;
+if the trees be accompanied by dots, it is a sign of riches.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Child.</span> In the clear part it bespeaks innocent intercourse between
+the consulter and another person; in the thick part it signifies
+crosses in love matters, and requires your utmost care to prevent
+great expenses; and a family without means of support.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Woman.</span> Signifies much joy in general. If in the clear, this
+emblem shows very great happiness; but in the thick part it cautions
+against jealousy. If dots surround the image, it shows children and
+wealth.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Pedestrian.</span> Denotes in general a merchant, good business,
+pleasant news, or the recovery of lost things. It denotes to the female
+a kind and industrious husband; it also signifies some engagement,
+and a short journey.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Rider or Horseman.</span> Denotes a letter, good news from
+abroad, a good situation, or the like; it also foretells that a fortune
+is to be obtained by care and industry.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Mouse.</span> As this animal lives by stealth, it also is an emblem
+of theft or robbery; if it be in the clear, it shows that your loss will
+be easily prevented; but if in the thick, you must use your utmost
+watchfulness.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Rose, or any other Flower.</span> Usually indicates success in
+science or art by study; if married, good children may be expected,
+and all the happy fruits, if they have but a good education and good
+examples.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Heart.</span> If it be in the clear, it 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 may expect
+to be married; if a letter is perceptible near it, it shews the initial of
+the person’s name.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">125</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Garden, Wood, or Bush.</span> Signifies a large company. In the
+clear and with leaves, it indicates good friends; in the thick, encompassed
+with streaks, or if without leaves, it is a token of the caprices
+of fortune, and warns the consulting party to be cautious whom they
+take for their friends.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Rod.</span> Predicts differences with people about matters relating
+to legacies; in the thick, it denotes some affliction, which will require
+your utmost care to avert.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Bird in general.</span> In the clear, it signifies that the disagreeables
+and troubles with which you will have to combat, will only be
+surmounted by persevering in doing good; in the thick, it is a sign
+of good living; also a speedy journey, or voyage, which, if there be
+dashes, is likely to be to a distance.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fish in general.</span> Imply some lucky event by water, if in the
+clear, which will either happen to the consulter, or be the means of
+improving his affairs. If they are in the thick, the consulter may expect
+to fish in troubled water. Surrounded with dots, his destiny
+warns him to use diligence, temperance and frugality.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Lion, or any Ferocious Beast.</span> At the top, in the clear, it
+signifies prosperity in your intercourse with people of quality. At the
+bottom it warns the consulter to shun such intercourse and do nothing
+to excite any person to envy his fortune.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Worms.</span> At the top, or in the middle of the cup, they denote good
+luck in trade and in matrimony; below they warn you against rivals
+in courtship, and against enviers in your trade and profession.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Style.</span> If combined with an hour-glass and in the thick, it
+denotes imminent dangers of all kinds; in love, disappointment; but
+in the clear, it signifies that your sweetheart is faithful and affectionate
+toward you, and that you are likely to live a long and happy life.</p>

+<h3>CHARMS AND MAGIC PROGNOSTICATIONS.</h3>
+
+<p>Herewith I give a few mysterious magic formulas and prognostications,
+for the most part hitherto known only to wise old men and
+women, some of which I have had confided to me by learned astrologers,
+and a few were revealed to me by Madame Le Normand, a celebrated
+fortune-teller, in whose predictions the Emperor Napoleon put
+great confidence.</p>
+
+<h4>TO PREPARE A LOVE POTION.</h4>
+
+<p>The following substances must be gathered in silence when the
+full moon is in the heavens: Three white rose leaves, three red
+rose leaves, three forget-me-nots, and five blossoms of Veronica.</p>
+
+<p>All these things you must place in a vessel, then pour upon them<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">126</span>
+five hundred and ninety-five drops of clear Easter water, and place
+the vessel over the fire, or what is better still, over a spirit-lamp.
+This mixture must be allowed to boil for exactly the sixteenth part
+of an hour.</p>
+
+<p>When it has boiled for the requisite length of time, remove it from
+the fire, and pour it into a flask. Cork it tightly, and seal it, and it
+will keep for years without losing its virtue.</p>
+
+<p>That this potion is certain in its effect I myself will guarantee, for
+I have gained more than thirty hearts by its help. Three drops swallowed
+by the person whose love you desire, will suffice.</p>
+
+
+<h4>ANOTHER MEANS TO COMPEL LOVE.</h4>
+
+<p>Take a healthy, well-grown frog. Place it in a box which has been
+pierced all over with holes with a stout darning needle or gimlet.
+Then carry it in the evening twilight to a large ant-heap, place it in
+the midst of the heap, taking care to observe perfect silence.</p>
+
+<p>After the lapse of a week, repair to the ant-heap, take out the
+box, and open it, when in place of the frog you will find nothing but
+a skeleton. Take this apart very carefully, and you will soon find
+among the delicate bones a scale shaped like that of a fish and a
+hook. You will need them both. The hook you must contrive to
+fasten in some way or other into the clothes of the person whose
+affections you wish to obtain, and if he or she has worn it, if it is
+only for a quarter of a minute, he will be constrained to love you,
+and will continue to do so until you give him or her a fillip with the
+scale.</p>
+
+<p>This method is over three thousand years old, and it has been
+practised by thirty-thousand of our ancestors with the most complete
+success.</p>
+
+
+<h4>FOR A GIRL TO ASCERTAIN IF SHE WILL EVER MARRY.</h4>
+
+<p>Borrow a wedding-ring from a young married woman—the more
+recently she has been married the better—and do not tell her, or let
+her suspect your purpose; wear this ring on the third finger of your
+left hand at least three hours after sunset before you retire to rest.
+When you are ready to go to bed, take half a sheet of pure white paper,
+with no rule marks or anything upon it, lay down the ring on
+the paper, and mark round it so as to make a circle exactly its size:
+you then write within the circle, “With this ring I hope to wed:”
+write your name over the top, and your age underneath; fold the paper
+with a three-cornered love-letter fold, and put it under your pillow.
+Before getting into bed, suspend the ring by a hair of your
+head over the pillow so that it will hang about six inches above your
+face. You will then dream of your future husband if you are ever
+to marry. If you dream of several men, the one whose appearance
+pleases you best will be the man. If you dream of women or girls
+exclusively, you will never marry. Sometimes it may happen that
+your dream is confused, and you have no clear recollection of it, or
+perhaps you may not dream at all, in which case you must continue<span class="pagenum" id="Page_127">127</span>
+the charm, by keeping the paper under your pillow for three nights;
+but the ring is not necessary after the first night.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE STRAW SIGN.</h4>
+
+<p>If you find a blade of straw lying in your chamber, you may expect
+a visitor that same day. If there is one grain upon the straw, the
+visitor will be a gentleman, if not, a lady.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE SCISSOR OR KNIFE PROGNOSTIC.</h4>
+
+<p>If a pair of scissors, a knife, or any other pointed instrument falls
+accidentally from your hand, and sticks in the floor, so that it remains
+upright, you may make every preparation for company, for be
+assured they will not fail to come.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE CAT PORTENT.</h4>
+
+<p>When the cat licks and trims herself, it is a sign of visitors, but
+this is probably known to most of my readers already.</p>
+
+
+<h4>SIGN OF VISITORS.</h4>
+
+<p>Finally, a fourth sign of approaching visitors is the crying of the
+magpie. Magpies, as is well known, are the most inquisitive creatures
+upon the face of the earth. They fly from place to place, and
+listen to everything. When they find out that any persons have
+concluded to pay you a visit, they fly to you at full speed, and bring
+you the news, for they are as chattering as they are inquisitive. They
+perch themselves upon your house, or upon a tree which may stand
+near it, or on the grass, and there sit and chatter until they think
+you must have understood them. Therefore, always give heed to
+these wise birds, for it is well to know when you are to expect
+visitors.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE NEW MOON.</h4>
+
+<p>On first seeing the new moon, if you happen to look at it over
+your right shoulder, you may make a silent wish, and you will realize
+it. If a girl thus observes the new moon, and desires to see her
+future husband, she must repeat to herself (so as not to be heard by
+any one) the following lines:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+<div class="verse">New moon, new—pray let me see</div>
+<div class="verse">Who my husband is to be:</div>
+<div class="verse indent4">The color of his hair,</div>
+<div class="verse indent4">The clothes he is to wear,</div>
+<div class="verse">And the happy day that he’ll wed me!</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>If she is to be married that year, she will positively see the man of
+her choice before the wane of the full moon.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE KEY AND BOOK CHARM.</h4>
+
+<p>To find out the two first letters of a future 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, chap. viii., ver. 6 and 7, place the
+wards of the key on those two verses, and let the bow of the key<span class="pagenum" id="Page_128">128</span>
+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 fore-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.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_127.jpg" alt="Key and book" />
+</div>
+
+<p>It must be observed, that you mention to the person who repeats
+the verses, before you begin, which you intend to try first, whether
+surname or Christian name, and take care to hold the Bible steady;
+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.</p>
+
+<p class="center">Solomon’s Songs, chap. viii., ver. 6 and 7.</p>
+
+<p>"Set me 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
+thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.</p>
+
+<p>“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown
+it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
+it would be utterly contemned.”</p>
+
+
+<h4>CARD CHARM.</h4>
+
+<p>Draw all the face cards from the pack and put them into your stocking
+on a Friday night, placing the stocking under your pillow. You
+must find out by the Almanac the precise time the sun rises on Saturday
+morning, and at that moment draw a card. A king denotes a
+speedy marriage; a queen means delay or celibacy; a Jack is a gay
+seducer who will give you trouble. Diamonds are riches, hearts
+true love, spades thrift, and clubs poverty.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE SPIDER OMEN.</h4>
+
+<p>It is considered an ill omen when one sees a spider <i>in the morning</i>.
+The earlier in the morning, and the larger the spider, the greater the
+evil which threatens you. It is <i>within doors</i>, however, and chiefly <i>in
+one’s own chamber</i>, that the spider has this signification—out of doors<span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">129</span>
+they forebode no harm. The <i>wood spider</i> especially, is not much to
+be dreaded; what I have said above refers particularly to the <i>house
+spider</i>. Never, on any account, kill a wood spider. By such an act
+you would only draw upon yourself the hatred of the whole race of
+witches, and sooner or later you would suffer from it.</p>
+
+<p>When found <i>in the evening</i>, a spider signifies good luck. The
+smaller the spider, the greater the good fortune. I will here teach
+you the following rhyme:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+ <div class="verse">“Matin, chagrin,</div>
+ <div class="verse">Soir, espoir.”</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>Little spiders have much less evil in them than the others, and
+those called daddy-long-legs are always messengers of good luck.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE STRING TOKEN.</h4>
+
+<p>If your shoe-tie or apron string breaks, your sweetheart is thinking
+of you.</p>
+
+
+<h4>SIGN WHEN YOUR RIGHT EAR TINGLES.</h4>
+
+<p>If your <i>right ear</i> tingles, some one is speaking <i>well</i> of you, if the
+<i>left ear</i> tingles, some one is speaking <i>ill</i> of you. To find out who
+this some one is, you must call out aloud the names of your acquaintance,
+one after another. The name at which the tingling ceases is
+the name of the person.</p>
+
+
+<h4>SIGN WHEN TOUR NOSE ITCHES.</h4>
+
+<p>If your nose itches early in the morning, you will on that very
+day hear a piece of news.</p>
+
+<h4>STRANGE BED.</h4>
+
+<p>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 “<i>With this ring I thee wed</i>,” and
+your dream will be ominous, and you will have your fortune as well
+told as if you had paid a dollar to an astrologer.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE SIGN OF A SNEEZE.</h4>
+
+<p>If any one tells you anything, and you are shortly after obliged to
+sneeze, you may be sure that what was told you is true.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE DEATH-TICK.</h4>
+
+<p>If you hear a wood-tick or death-watch ticking anywhere in the
+house, you must try to get rid of it as soon as possible, or you will
+speedily hear of a death which will greatly afflict you.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE CRICKET.</h4>
+
+<p>If there is a cricket in the house, be careful on no account to disturb
+it. Think of Dickens’ <i>Cricket on the Hearth</i>.</p>
+
+
+<h4>AN OMEN OF RICHES.</h4>
+
+<p>When an <i>ant-heap</i> gathers in your house, it signifies <i>coming wealth</i>—you
+may, however, destroy the nest.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_130">130</span></p>
+
+
+<h4>THE FROG PROGNOSTIC.</h4>
+
+<p>If the first <i>frog</i> that you see in the spring of the year is sitting
+upon <i>dry ground</i>, it signifies that, during the same year, you will
+shed as many tears as the frog would require to swim away in.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE CANDLE TOKEN.</h4>
+
+<p>When a large red token forms in the flame of a candle-wick, it
+signifies that the one who first sees it will soon receive a letter.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE STAR AUGURY.</h4>
+
+<p>When you are out of doors on a starlit evening, and shooting stars
+appear, turn your face upward to the stars, and utter in a whisper
+the wish nearest your heart. If a star shoots while you do this, you
+may be sure that the wish will be fulfilled.</p>
+
+
+<h4>HOW TO BE SURE OF A PARTNER AT A DANCE.</h4>
+
+<p>When you wish to be sure of many partners at a dance or ball,
+let a little brother or sister, or any other person <i>hold a thumb for
+you</i>—that is, keep her hand closed like a fist for a quarter of an
+hour, holding her <i>thumb</i> between the <i>fore</i> and <i>middle finger</i>, while
+she thinks of you, and wishes you good luck. This proceeding has
+a wonderful effect.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE BRIDE’S OMEN.</h4>
+
+<p>If you would have fair weather on your wedding day, you must
+always faithfully feed the cats. It is true it is a common error when
+persons think that it forebodes evil when it rains upon the bride
+<i>in her bridal dress</i>. This is no evil omen, but the contrary. But,
+above all things, let her be careful not to allow her <i>shoes to get wet</i>.
+If my young readers would take the trouble to read Frederika Bremer’s
+work called “The House,” they would find in it a confirmation
+of this warning.</p>
+
+
+<h4>TO KNOW IF A WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HAVE A GIRL
+OR BOY.</h4>
+
+<p>Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the
+month she conceived with child, and likewise adding all the numbers
+of those letters together, divide them by seven; and then, if the remainder
+be even, it will be a girl, if uneven, it will be a boy.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE CROW SIGN.</h4>
+
+<p>If you wish to know how matters will go with you during the
+year, you must take good heed of the first <i>crow</i> that you see in the
+spring. If, when you first see it, it is <i>flying</i>, it signifies that you
+will take a journey that will be longer or shorter, according to the
+distance which the bird flies before it alights. It may also signify a
+complete <i>change of abode</i>, perhaps by a wedding. If you first see the
+bird <i>sitting</i>, you will remain at home; if <i>cawing</i>, much that you do
+not think of will happen to you; if upon <i>one leg</i>, fortune will not
+smile upon you.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_131">131</span></p>
+
+
+<h4>THE RABBIT AUGURY.</h4>
+
+<p>If, when in the open field, or upon the highroad, a <i>rabbit runs
+across your path</i>, it signifies that something <i>unpleasant</i> will happen
+to you.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE SHEEP AND SWINE TOKEN.</h4>
+
+<p>If you are going to pay a visit, and you meet with <i>sheep</i>, you will be
+very <i>welcome</i>; but if you meet with <i>swine</i>, you will be <i>unwelcome</i>.</p>
+
+
+<h4>A CHARM AGAINST NIGHTMARE.</h4>
+
+<p>If you wish to be secure against the nightmare in your sleep, place
+your shoes side by side upon the floor, at the foot of the bed, so that
+the toes will point <i>not</i> toward the bed, but in the contrary direction,
+as if they were <i>going from it</i>.</p>
+
+
+<h4>WHAT A SPIDER WEB FORETELLS.</h4>
+
+<p>If you are walking with a young man at a time when the so-called
+gossamer, those snow-white spider’s threads, are floating about
+in the air, and one of these delicate fibrous veils sweeps by, <i>and forms
+a band between you and him</i>, it is a sign that feelings of a tender nature
+will some day bind you to each other.</p>
+
+
+<h4>HOW TO GET A SWEETHEART.</h4>
+
+<p>If a thick, long spider’s web hangs anywhere from the ceiling, you
+must sweep it down as soon as possible, for it signifies a <i>suitor</i>, and
+the one that gets the web will have him.</p>
+
+
+<h4>WHAT A PRICK IN THE FINGER SIGNIFIES.</h4>
+
+<p>If you are sewing upon a new dress, apron, &c., &c., and you prick
+your finger with the needle so as to bring blood, it is a sign that
+when you first wear the garment you will receive many kisses.</p>
+
+
+<h4>EASTER WATER.</h4>
+
+<p>In speaking of a love potion, I made mention of <i>Easter water</i>;
+many of my readers have, I suppose, never heard of this singular
+kind of water. I will explain it to you. It is water which is
+drawn from the river upon Easter morning, before the sun has shone
+upon it. To obtain it, therefore, you must rise on Easter morning
+while it is still quite dark, take your way to the river in silence,
+fill your pitcher in silence, and then make your way home in silence,
+without looking behind you. You may then go to bed again and
+have your sleep out. This Easter water has this peculiarity: <i>it will
+keep sweet throughout the whole year</i>. You can, therefore, fill as many
+bottles with it as you please, cork them tightly, and lay them away.
+Besides its use in the above-named love potion, it is beneficial in various
+maladies, especially in diseases of the eye, and, in addition to
+this, it is an approved cosmetic.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE RYE CHARM.</h4>
+
+<p>If you would have bread and cake in plenty during the whole<span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">132</span>
+year, hang a full sheaf of rye and a full sheaf of wheat upon a pole
+outside the door, on Christmas morning, so that the birds may come
+and feed from it.</p>
+
+
+<hr class="chap" />
+
+<h3>NUMEROUS METHODS OF TELLING FORTUNES ON NEW YEAR’S EYE.</h3>
+
+<p>The evening which of all others is the most adapted for witchery,
+is New Year’s eve. It is a very ill practice to spend this evening <i>at
+a ball</i>, and it is an acknowledged fact that ill luck, more or less, follows
+a person throughout the year, who has <i>danced the old year out
+and the new year in</i>.</p>
+
+<p>You should spend New Year’s eve with a small circle of near and
+dear friends, around a punch-bowl, while you seek to inquire what
+the future has in store for you. In the first place this may be done
+with <i>melted lead or wax</i>. Some of you, perhaps, are acquainted with
+this method of inquiring of the future, yet there may be many among
+your number who are still ignorant of it. Now, as it is of the highest
+interest in the world that these should know the process, I will
+here give, for their benefit, a short explanation of it, which the others
+may skip over.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE LEAD AND WAX SPELL.</h4>
+
+<p>Take a good-sized piece of lead or wax, (the former is better,)
+place it in a melting-ladle, and dissolve it over the coals, or over a
+spirit-lamp, into which you have poured a little alcohol. You must
+then take a vessel full of water, (a bowl is best, that is not too deep
+nor too shallow,) and pour into it the lead or wax, and from the various
+figures which it forms in the water you endeavor to tell your
+fortune.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE SAUCER CHARM.</h4>
+
+<p>The following is another method: you take four saucers; in one
+you put a <i>ring</i>, in another a <i>sprig of myrtle</i>, in the third a <i>piece of
+money</i>, and in the fourth <i>nothing</i>. The individuals composing the
+company must now walk around the table, blindfold, one after the
+other, and choose one of the saucers, which, in the mean time, have
+been changed as to place. Those among the company who choose
+the ring, will be <i>betrothed</i> in the course of the year; <i>myrtle</i> signifies
+wedlock, the <i>piece of money wealth</i>, the <i>empty saucer</i> no change of circumstances.</p>
+
+
+<h4>HOW TO TELL THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FUTURE
+WIFE OR HUSBAND’S NAME.</h4>
+
+<p>If you wish to know the letter with which your future wife or
+husband’s name commences, write all the letters of the alphabet,
+separately, upon small pieces of paper, put these pieces in a box, and
+draw one out blindfold.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">133</span></p>
+
+<p>All this may be done before twelve o’clock. Exactly at the stroke
+of midnight, however, you can summon up your future husband or
+wife, and behold his or her image <i>up the chimney</i>.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE CANDLE SPELL.</h4>
+
+<p>The following is another method: Take <i>two candles</i>, go a little before
+twelve o’clock into an adjoining chamber—no one on any account
+must follow you—place yourself before the <i>mirror</i>, and exactly as it
+strikes <i>twelve</i>, call out your own name in full, <i>three times</i>. When the
+last sound has died away, you will see in the glass your future husband
+looking over your shoulder.</p>
+
+<p>The company may not remain together after twelve o’clock. When
+the old year is out and the new year in, you must embrace, and kiss
+each other, and then go home. You must not yet go to bed, however,
+but must first devote an hour to solitude, to reflect upon all
+which the past year has brought with it, and to commit to writing
+the chief occurrences, as well as the state of your minds. It would
+be well to keep a book for this purpose, in which you should read
+and write only on a new-year’s eve, and at other times keep carefully
+stored away. I have always done this, and I can assure you, that it
+is with a feeling of sad, sweet interest, that I now read, each new-year’s
+eve, of the eighty-nine years of my life.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE NUTSHELL WITCHERY.</h4>
+
+<p>Among the witcheries which you may perform on a new-year’s eve,
+there is one to which I have not alluded. Each person of the company,
+to wit, takes a <i>nutshell</i>, and, after lighting a <i>wax taper</i>, places
+it in the shell. A basin of water is then brought. You now place
+the nutshells, with the burning tapers in them, in the basin. Some
+will incline toward each other as they float along, others will repel
+each other, until, at last, all are extinguished or sunk. What conclusions
+in reference to the future, are to be drawn from the various
+movements of these tiny magic skiffs, your own quick wits will tell
+you.</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE BRIDGE OMEN.</h4>
+
+<p>After you have gone home, and have devoted an hour to the solitary
+task which I counselled you (see <span class="smcap">Candle Spell</span>), take a <i>glass of
+water</i>, cut a small <i>chip of wood</i>, and lay it crosswise upon the glass, so
+that it stretches like a bridge, from one end to the opposite one. Then
+place this glass under your bed. The consequence will be that you
+will dream during the night that you are walking over a bridge, and
+that you fall into the water. A gentleman, however, appears and
+rescues you. This same gentleman, whom you will see very distinctly,
+be careful to remember, for he is your future husband. A gentleman
+can make the same experiment, and he will dream the same thing,
+with the difference only, that it is a lady who rescues him, and she is
+to be his future wife.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">134</span></p>
+
+
+<h4>THE HAIR SPELL.</h4>
+
+<p>If you wish any person to think of you, pluck a hair from your
+head, and blow it out into the air toward that quarter of the heavens
+in which the person lives, while, at the same time, you call out the
+name of this person <i>three times</i>, at the top of your voice. During this
+you must be entirely alone, and must have thought intently upon the
+person for, at least, a quarter of an hour beforehand. At the same
+instant he will experience a strange unearthly shudder or thrill, and
+his thoughts will turn irresistibly toward you.</p>
+
+
+<h4>SIGN WHEN YOU WET YOUR APRON.</h4>
+
+<p>When you are washing, if you are apt <i>to wet your apron</i> a great
+deal, it is a sign that your future husband will be a tippler. Take
+good heed therefore!</p>
+
+
+<h4>THE NAIL TOKEN.</h4>
+
+<p>If a person has nails that are all bitten to pieces, and gnawed close
+to the quick, it signifies an evil, malicious character, and you have
+every reason in the world to be on your guard in your intercourse
+with such a person.</p>

+<h2><a id="HOW_TO_DETERMINE_THE_LUCKY"></a>HOW TO DETERMINE THE LUCKY AND
+THE UNLUCKY DAYS OF ANY MONTH
+IN THE YEAR.</h2>
+
+<p>Ascertain from the Almanac the day on which a full moon occurs,
+and count the number of days from that to the end of the month: you
+then multiply the number of days in the month by the number ascertained
+as above, and the total will give you the lucky days (subject to
+a further test hereafter explained), which must be reckoned this wise:
+if the total happens to be, say 516, the lucky days of that month
+would be the 5th and 16th, and if it should be 561, the days are the
+same, for you must always transpose the figures, when they will work
+together. Suppose that instead of 516, the total should be 399; as
+neither of these figures can be paired, the lucky days from that total
+are the 3d and 9th, and the 9th would be considered doubly lucky, if
+no tests worked to the contrary.</p>
+
+<p>The unlucky days are determined in precisely the same manner, by
+multiplying the number of days in the month by the number which
+had passed previous to a full moon.</p>
+
+<p>After working out your list of lucky days, in the manner above
+described, you must then test them, in order to be sure that there
+are no opposing influences. You can do this by calculating the unlucky
+days. Should you find that any day of the month which was
+designated as lucky came also in the list of unlucky days, the latter
+preponderates, and you must strike it from the lucky list.</p>
+
+<p>This plan of demonstrating lucky and unlucky days is very ancient,
+and has been tested to such an extent that it is considered accurate<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">135</span>
+by most astrologers. In old times, before the mass of the people
+understood much about figures, the professional fortune-tellers demanded
+a large fee for casting the lucky days of any month, which
+they accomplished in the manner above described.</p>
+
+<p>Lucky marriage days for girls were cast in the same manner, except
+that the age of the girl was used as the multiplicator, or multiplier,
+instead of the number of days in the month. The result was determined
+similarly, and also by a test of the unlucky days. Thus, if a
+girl is 18 years old, and thinks of marrying in October, she takes up
+an Almanac and ascertains the day of the full moon in that month.
+It occurs on the 24th, and there are 31 days in the month: this
+leaves 7 for the multiplier. She multiplies this by her age, 18, and
+the result is 106, which shows the lucky days in that month for her
+to marry are the 10th and 6th, unless they are destroyed by the test,
+which is determined as follows: There are 23 days before the 24th,
+and she must multiply 23 by 18, which gives 414, and shows that
+the 4th and 14th are the only unlucky days for her to marry; and as
+they do not conflict with the lucky days, the 6th and 10th may be
+considered as genuine lucky days for that month, reckoning the moon
+to have fulled on the 24th. In determining her age, she should
+reckon any period over half a year a full year.</p>

+<h2><a id="THE_DIVINING_ROD"></a>THE DIVINING ROD:<br />
+
+<small>OR, HOW TO TELL WHERE TO DIG FOR WATER AND ALL
+KINDS OF METALS.</small></h2>
+
+<p>So early as Agricola, a celebrated conjuror who lived in ancient
+times, the divining rod was in much request, and has obtained great
+credit for its discovering where to dig for metals and springs of water;
+for some years past its reputation has been upon the decline, but
+lately it has been revived, and with great success, as I have myself
+found from numerous experiments that its effects are more than imagination,
+and to enable others to do the like, I have laid down some
+short rules, as follows:</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Directions for choosing Rods.</span> The hazel and willow rods, I
+have by experience found, will actually answer with all persons who
+are in a good state of health, if they are used with moderation, and
+at some distance of time, after meals, when the operator is in good
+spirits. The hazel, willow, and elm are all attracted by springs of
+water. Some persons have the virtue intermittently; the rod in
+their hands will attract one half hour, and repel the next. The rod
+is attracted by water, all metals, coals, amber, and lime-stone, but
+with different degrees of strength.</p>
+
+<p>The best rods are those from the hazel, or nut-tree, as they are pliant
+and rough, and are best cut in the winter months; a shoot that
+terminates equally forked is to be preferred, (<i>See Fig. 1</i>,) about two
+feet and a half long; but as such a fork is rarely to be met with, two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_136">136</span>
+single ones of a length, and size may be tied together with thread, and
+they will answer as well as the others. (<i>See Fig. 2.</i>)</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_135a.jpg" alt="Fig. 1 and Fig. 2" />
+</div>
+
+<p>The most convenient and handy method of holding the rod is with
+the palms of the hands turned upward, and the two ends of the rod
+coming outward; the palms should be held horizontally as nearly as
+possible; the part of the rod in the hands ought to be straight, and
+not bent either backward or forward; the upper part of the arm
+should be kept pretty close to the sides, and the elbows resting on
+them, the lower part of the arm making nearly a right angle with the
+upper, though rather a little more acute; the rod ought to be so held
+that, in its working, the sides may move clear of the little fingers.
+The position of the rod, when properly held, is much like the following
+figure, (<i>see Fig. 3</i>,) where the distance between the four downward
+lines is the part supposed to be held in the hand.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_135.jpg" alt="Fig. 3" />
+</div>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">137</span></p>
+
+<p>The best manner of carrying the rod is with the end prolaided in
+an angle of about eighty degrees from the horizon, as by this method
+of carrying, the repulsion is more plainly perceived than if it was held
+perpendicularly. But after all the directions that can be given, the
+adroit use of it can only be attained by practice. It is necessary that
+the grasp should be steady, for if, when the rod is going, there should
+be the least succession or counteraction in the hands, though ever so
+small, it will greatly impair, and generally totally prevent its activity,
+which is not to be done by the mere strength of the grasp, for provided
+this be steady, no strength can stop it.</p>
+
+<p>As soon as the person’s foremost foot comes near the attracting
+body, the end of the rod is repelled toward the face. (<i>See Fig. 4.</i>)
+Then open the hands a little, replace the rod, and approach nearer,
+and the repulsion will be continued until the foot is on or over the
+attracting body. When this is the case, the rod will first be repelled
+a little, viz., two or three inches, and then be attracted toward it.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/i_136.jpg" alt="Fig. 4" />
+</div>
+
+<p>When it hath been drawn down, it must not be thrown back without
+opening the hands, a fresh grasp being necessary to every attraction,
+but the least opening of the hand is sufficient. As long as the
+person stands over the attracting body, the rod continues to be attracted,
+but as soon as the fore foot is beyond it, then the rod is
+drawn down backward to the face. Metals have different degrees of
+attraction: gold is strongest, next copper, then iron, silver, tin, lead,
+bones, coals, springs of water and lime-stone. To make common experiments,
+set the foot on a piece or coin of any of these metals, having
+the rod in your hands as before directed. In using the rod to
+discover springs and metals, let the person hold the rod as already
+directed, and then advancing north or south with a slow pace, just
+one foot before the other, at first the rod may be repelled, but as the
+person advances slowly, and comes over the spring, or vein of ore,
+the rod will be strongly attracted. The divining rod is sometimes
+called <i>Divina Virgula</i>, and sometimes <i>The Luck Rod</i>.</p>

+but will not live to any great age.</p>
+
+<p>26. This day is good for dreams, but children born on it will experience
+many hardships, though in the end, they may turn out happily.</p>
+
+<p>27. This is a very unfortunate day to look for anything that is
+lost, but a child born on this day will make a great stir in the world,
+either as a statesman, soldier, physician, or clergyman.</p>
+
+<p>28. A child born upon this day will live to be a rich and truly
+good man if born before noon, but if born after that hour, it is to be
+feared that he will be dissipated or worthless.</p>
+
+<p>29. Dreams on this day are not worth a moment’s attention, for
+rest assured they will never be fulfilled. Never buy a lottery ticket

+<h2><a id="SIGNIFICATION_OR_LANGUAGE_OF_THE_FLOWERS"></a>SIGNIFICATION OR LANGUAGE OF THE
+FLOWERS.</h2>
+
+<p>No Book on Fortune-telling and Dreams would be complete without
+the signification of the flowers. If we dream of, or have those
+smiles of nature given to us, we should at once consult the language
+of Flora and ascertain what our dream or present signifies.</p>
+
+<p>It is no new thing to attach a sentiment or meaning to each flower.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">141</span>
+In Eastern lands flowers have a language which all understand. It
+is that “still small voice” which is powerful on account of its silence.
+It is one of the chief amusements of the Greek girls to drop these
+symbols of their esteem or scorn upon the various passengers who
+pass their latticed windows, and the traveller can read upon Egyptian
+rocks accounts of the conquests of that ancient people recorded by
+foreign plants. Accompanying, we give a complete dictionary of the
+meaning of the flowers.</p>

+teeth, confused lines in the hand, of a quick but small growth.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A Good Genius</span> may be expected from a thin skin, middle stature,

+affable aspect, the eyebrows joined, moderation in mirth, an open,
+cheerful countenance, and the temples a little concave.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A Dunce</span> may be known by a swollen neck, plump arms, sides,
+and loins, a round head, concave behind, a large fleshy forehead, pale
+eyes, a dull heavy look, small joints, snuffing nostrils, and a proneness
+to laughter, little hands, an ill-proportioned head, either too big
+or too little, blubber lips, short fingers, and thick legs.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fortitude</span> is promised from a wide mouth, a sonorous voice, grave,
+slow, and always equal, upright posture, large eyes, pretty open and
+steadfast, the hair high above the forehead, the head much compressed
+or flattened, the forehead square and high, the extremities large and
+robust, the neck firm though not fleshy, a large corpulent chest, and

+neck, great arms, ample chest, square shoulders and a forward countenance.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Prudence</span> is generally distinguished by a head which is flat on the
+sides, a broad square forehead, a little concave in the middle, a soft
+voice, a large chest, a thin hair, light eyes, either blue, brown or
+black, large eyes, and an aquiline nose.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A good Memory</span> is commonly attached to those persons who are
+smaller, yet better formed in the upper than the lower parts, not fat
+but fleshy, of a fair, delicate skin, with the poll of the head uncovered,
+crooked nose, teeth thick set, large ears with plenty of cartilage.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A bad Memory</span> is observable in persons who are larger in their
+superior than inferior parts, fleshy, though dry and bald.—N. B.
+This is expressly contrary to the opinion of Aristotle, who says
+that the superior parts being larger than the inferior signify a good
+memory, and <i>vice versa</i>.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A good Imagination and thoughtful Disposition</span> is distinguished
+by a large prominent forehead, a fixed and attentive look, slow respiration,
+and an inclination of the head.</p>

+noses, descending very near the mouth, neither too moist nor too dry.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">A nice Faculty of Tasting</span> is peculiar to such as have a spongy,
+porous, soft tongue, well moistened with saliva, yet not too moist.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_145">145</span></p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Delicacy in the Touch</span> belongs to those who have a soft skin,

+solemn voice, open nostrils, moist temples, displaying superficial
+veins, thick neck, equal use of both hands, quick pace, blood-shot
+eyes, large, unequal, ill-ranged eyes, and choleric disposition.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Timorousness</span> resides where we find a concave neck, pale color,
+weak-winking eyes, soft hair, smooth plump breast, shrill tremulous
+voice, small mouth, thin lips, broad thin hands, and small shambling

+<p><span class="smcap">Envy</span> appears with a wrinkled forehead, frowning, dejected, and
+squinting look, a pale, melancholy countenance, and a dry, rough
+skin.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Intrepidity</span> often resides in a small body, with red curled hair,
+ruddy countenance, frowning eyebrows, arched and meeting, eyes
+blue and yellowish, large mouth, and red lines in the hand.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Gentleness and Complacency</span> may be distinguished by a soft and
+moist palm, frequency of shutting the eyes, soft movement, slow
+speech, soft, straight and lightish-colored hair.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Bashfulness</span> may be discovered by moist eyes, never wide open,

+and submissive speech, bent body, and glowing ears of a purple hue.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Temperance or Sobriety</span> is accompanied with an equal respiration,
+a moderate-sized mouth, smooth temples, eyes of an ordinary
+size, either fair or azure, and a short, flat body.</p>

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org/license
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email

+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
