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> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<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.

- -<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 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> - -<p>This method of telling fortunes is very entertaining in society, when -you have not the book to find more particular answers.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h3><a id="A_METHOD_BY_WHICH_TO_DISCOVER_IF_YOUR_WISH_WILL_BE_FULFILLED"></a>A METHOD BY WHICH TO DISCOVER IF YOUR WISH WILL -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> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h2><a id="TELLING_FORTUNES_BY_DOMINOES_AND_DICE"></a>TELLING FORTUNES BY DOMINOES AND -DICE.</h2> - -<p>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<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 -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.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h3><a id="METHOD_OF_TELLING_FORTUNES_WITH_DOMINOES"></a>METHOD OF TELLING FORTUNES WITH DOMINOES.</h3> - -<div class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_101.jpg" alt="A circle of dominoes" /> -</div> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Be very particular and do not attempt to tell your fortune by dominoes -on <i>Friday</i> or <i>Monday</i>.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<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> - - - -<hr class="chap" /> -<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> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h2><a id="PALMISTRY"></a>PALMISTRY,<br /> - -<small>OR TELLING FORTUNES BY THE LINES OF THE HAND</small>.</h2> - -<p>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.

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.

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> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<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> - - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<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> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<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> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">138</span></p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h2><a id="JUDGMENTS_DRAWN_FROM_THE_MOONS_AGE"></a>JUDGMENTS DRAWN FROM THE MOON’S AGE.</h2> - -<p>1.
