THE LADIES' LOVE ORACLE; OR, HOW

TO TELL FORTUNES WITH DICE.

M:ETHOD OF CONSULTING THE ORACLE.

Arr.EB having chosen among the questions given iti pages 4, 5, 6,
the one to which you .desire the oracle to reply, throw three dice
at hazard upon the table, count the number they give, and consult
the tables, pages 7, 8, 9, IO, following the line of the number of
the question unto the column in the head of which you find the
number that the dice have thrown. The number, then, in the line
of the question, under the number the dice have given you, indi·
cates the page where you will find the answer.
From the following example, you will see how easy this method
is to follow. I suppose, among the things you desire most to know,
the following question is not the least important:
Shall I be soon married ?
' You see that this is the first in the list of questions. Throw
the three dice upon the table; they will give you, I suppose,
1!'711!!11":;'1 seventeen; look in the table for the number of the
i:..:J lUJ I::'.!.! question, which is I ; follow the line bearing at the
top the number 17, which is the one the dice have given, and
you will find in the same line as the number of the question, and
ooneath 17, the number G,·,~hich' iit. that ·~e the }>age contain:U,
. " ,,Google
' 1'ID LA.DIKB' LOV& OBA.CL&.

the answer; tum to page 6, look down the row of dioe, until you
dnd those representing the number 17, and you will dnd thla
1'8ply:
"Yes, to the little dark-complexioned man."
Thus, you see, the operation is easy, quick, and simple. When-
ever you wish to decide any question concerning your fate, yOll
ean consult the oracle, and know, without being obliged to confide
70ur secrets to any person.

89 BOW TO TBl.t. l'OJl.TUNBS WITH OABDL

The TlraB11: or DIAllONDS: a hu11band will seek you when you

have l'.l&rned to cook, to be a good nurse, and to sing; your wife
will love you and be faithful to you, if you koop near her and at
home; di8COrd with your wedded partner, but llnally reconcilia-
$ion and lasting peace.
• The FOUR OF DIAKONDS: you will receive a flower from a lov-
ng hand; cherish it faithfully, and it will bring you good fortune
and happiness-the first rose that is presented to you will tell
you that you are entering the rosy month of love.
• The FIVE or DIAllONDS: parents' death will suddenly change
,your fute. If a man dies. whom you first met on a Friday morn-
ing, you will have luck in the lottery; but if a woman in black
is the first person you meet on Saturday morning, you will have
ill luck in the lottery.
The SIX OF DIAKONDS: unhappy marriage and divorce ; sepa-
ration from an old friend, or from a kind feml\le friend.
The SEVEN OF DIAMONDS: you will live with the constant idea
that you will at last be fortunate ; with this conceit your life will
pass away, and you will atlast die happy. You will always hope
to win the high prize in the lottery, but you will never win it, un-
til you have been kissed by tho greatest lady in the land.
'l'he EIGHT or DIAMONDS: what you dream on the night be-
tween Friday and Saturday, will turn out true. If you do the
contrary to that which some one whispers in your ear, you will
have good luck. This card also signifies the prosperous course
of any business undertaking; a bountiful harvest, and a fruitful
marriage.
The NINE OF DIAKONDS: a lady (a gentleman) will love you
ardently so long as you have rosy cheeks; when the· color fades,
her (his) love will fade also.
The TEN or DIAKONDS: if you wander southward you will
there find the happiness you have long sought for; a Southerner
will sue for the hand of a young girl ; a maiden from the East-
ward will fascinate you ; a French girl will turn your head, for
four-and-twenty hours; a Spaniard will assail your heart with
passionate vows of love. ·
The KNAVE OF DIAKONDS: he (she) who loves you is in the
bloom of life; but he (she) will woo (accept) another.
J The QUEEN OF DIAKONDS: the first kiss will cause you VU•
ation.
The KING OF DIAMONDS: a joyful bridal; a happy wedding-
day: endeavors toward a union with a beloved object.

bair (or beard) a certain person will bestow his (her) heart upon
fOU.
The Two OF SPADES: your heart is set upon money; you will
obtain it if you love one person exclusively.
'Ihe TllRU OF SPADES: victory over an adversary; you will

take a sea voyage, and on ship-board become acquaint.ad with
some one who will have great influence upon. your happiness;
when you reveal your secret to a certain person, the wish will be
obtained which you cherish in the most secret corner of your
heart.
The Foua or SPA.DBS: there is among your circle of acquaint-
ances some one who wishes to be united to you in marriage; con.-
aent, and you will not repent it.
The FIVE OP SPADES: you will have sleepless nights from joy.
If you drink a glass of water every morning, fasting, you will ob-
tain. your wish. Great things are at hand; a time of trial will
come, but if you lose not courage, the worst will soon be over.
The SIX OP SPADES : if the person who inquires of the cards
imparts what he has upon his mind to the one who is sitting next
him, his wish will be fulfilled.
The SEVEN OF SPADES : by means of a lost Jetter a secret will
be revealed, and this will cause much sorrow ; an officer will re-
store the Jetter, and all will end well
The EIGHT OP SPADES: the goal which you strive to reach is
very near; an event may happen at any moment which will lead
yon to it at once.
The Nnra or SPADES: temptation to infidelity; the tempta-
tion is withstood.
The TEN OP SPADES: good fortune in marriage; ill fortune at
the gaming table. You will lose much money at gaming; at last
you will give up the practice, and in ripe old age you will be bless-
ed by the birth of a daughter, whom you will name Fortuna.
The KNAVE Oi' SPADES: treachery and infidelity will lie in
wa;t for you, but you will come victorious out of the trial. En·
durance and courage will lead to a speedy marriage.
The QUEEN or SPADES: if you choose the number you dream
of, you will win the highest prize; but you must venture but once,
or fortune will forsake you forever.
The KING or SPADES: you will be drawn into difficulty on ac-
count of politics; but you will be so fortunate as to save tl1e life
of a person high in station, who will advance you, and you will
become prosperons and renowned.
The ACE or CLUBS: you will become a widower (widow) and
will marry a young widow (young man) and have ten children.
The Two OF CLU118: if to-morrow morning, about seven o'clock.
some one inquires of you concerning any thing whatever, give n.o
answer, and you will escape a great ve:i.:ation..
The THREE. or CLUBS: by inherit&net'I you will come into pos·
te11Sion of a handsome country seat, where you will Jive for sev-
eral years, but too extravagantly; when all your money is gone,
you will move into a small country town, where you will play a

HOW TO TELL FORTUNES FROM THE CARDS, ACCORD-

ING TO THE PRECEDING SIGNIFICATION OF THE
SINGLE CARDS.
You let the person who inquires of the ~de draw several, say
seven or eight or more, if you please, unseen, from a complete
pack. These drawn cards the person must press to his breast,
brow, anii mouth, then shuffie them, and lay them with grave
earnestness upon the table, so that they form a cross, as in Fig. 1.
We will now gi\'e a few examples, showing how, with the aid
of eome imagination and poetical fancy (due regard being had to
the domestic and other circumstances of the person consulliug the
cards), fortunes may be told in an agreeable and interesting maa-
pw.

but in the meanwhile let us hope for the best. See Fig. 1.
" Tho very first card tells me that there is some one in this com·
pany who would be very glad to stand in a nearer relationship to
you, and I would advise you to consent-you will not repent of it
(FDUr of Spadea). According to the next card, you will, in some
hotel, or place of public resort, make an agreeable acquaintance
(Queen of Clubl), and I can now inform you that the person who
loves you is still in the bloom of life, but, alas I I cannot conceal it,
he will woo another (Knave of Diamonds). Still, my dear lady' do
not be downcast, for the very next card (Ace of Hea'!'t.) signifies
ardent love and eternal fidelity. It is true, miefortune threatens
you and yours, but love is proof age!:J.st ail trials (&r!en of Hearf8).
You will be happy, for in a short time ye:: wiii be united to the one
you love, and within a year-do not blush-you will clasp an in-
fant son to your bosom (Threeof Hearn). Yet no lasting compact
can be formed with the powers of Fate; misfortune comes with
rapid strides; do not be alarmed, Indy, but I Rlust not conceal it from
you-the cards declare, clearly and distinctly, that you will be ft
widow, that you will marry a second time, and ten sweet childrea
will bind you ok>lely to your b€loved spouse" (..tee of Cluba.).

 THE DREAMER'S DICTIONARY;
CONTAINING THE INTERPRETATION TO EA.CH DREAM,
WITH LUCKY NUMBERS.
I CALL that a dream which proceEids either from the apiritofthe
hant.aay and intellect united together, or by the illuatrationohbe
.gent intellect above our souls, or by the true revelatioD' of some
llivine power in a quiet and purified mind; for by this our soul re-
oeivea true oracles, and abundantly yielda propheciea to ua; u
in dreams we aeem both to ask queationa, and learn to fl.nd them
out
They, therefore, whose intellect, being overwhelmed by too
much commerce of the flesh, is in a dead sleep, or fantastic power,
or spirit is too dull and unpolished, so that it cannot receive the
species and representation which flow from the superior mtellect;
this man, I say, is altogether unfit for the receiving of dreams and
prophesying by them. Therefore, it is nece88ary that he who
would receive true dreams should keep a pure, undisturbed, and
imaginative spirit, and so compose it, that it may be made worthy
of the knowledge and government by the mind and understand·
ing; for such a spirit is most fit for prophesying, and ia a most
clear glass of all the images which flow (everywhere) from all
things. Therefore, all those who would receive oracles by dreams,
and those eaid oracles true and certain, I would have them to ab-
stain one whole day from meat, and three days from wine or any
other strong liquors, and drink nothing but pure water; for to
sober and religious minds the pure spirits are adherent, but fty
from all those who are drowned in drunkenness and surfeiting.
Although impure spirits do very often .administer notable secrets
to those who are apparently besotted with strong liquors, yet all
such communications are to be contemned and avoided.
This is the way whereby we may obtain all sciences and arts
whatsoever, whether astrology, occult philosophy, physic, &c.., or
else suddenly and perfectly with a true illumination of our intellect,
although all inferior familiar spirits whatsoever conduce to t.bie
effect, and sometimes also evil spirits sensibly inform us, in·
lrinsically.
I shall now proceed to treat you with the common interpretationa
of dreams in the following alphabetical order:
ACQUAINTANCE. To dream that you fight with them, llif-
nifles distraction, especially if the person so dreaming be lick.
,2, 6.
AGUE. To dream that you have one, and are very cold, show•
an inclination to strong drink, wine, spices, 8Jld other hot tbinga.

shall be beloved and esteemed by all people, and that thoee who
are your enemies and envy you, shall be reconciled to you. Ii
also denot.es the discovery of lost goods, or things that have been
stolen. If the person so dreaming be at law, he shall overthrow
his adversary; and if he designs a voyage or journey, he shall bt
91ccessful therein. And, in short, all good things are denoted by
a clear and serene air. Bnt to dream that the air is cloudy, dark,
and troubled, denotes to the dreamer sadness, grief, sickness, mel·
ancholy, Joss of goods, hindrance of business, and is in all things
the reverse of dreaming what we have before mentioned of a clear
·.and serene air. But for a man to dream that the air is very calni
and without winds or storms, denotes his life to be peaceable, and
that he shall be acceptable to all company; and that whatever
business, journey by land, or voyage by sea he undertakes, shall
prosper and succeed according to his wishes. 12, 9.
ALMONDS. See Fruit.
ALMS. To dream that they are begged of you, and you deny
to give them, shows want and misery to the dreamer; but to
dream that you give them freely is a sign of great joy and of long
life to the dreamer. 11, 13, 4.
ANCHOR. To dream you see one, signifies great assurance
and certain hope. 47, 36.
.ANGER. To dreRm that you have been provoked to anger,
shows that you have many powerful enemies. 44, 16.
.ANTS. To dream of them, betokens an earthly, covetous mind;
and, as they live under the earth, to dream often of them, shows
the dreamar not to be long Jived. To see ant.s with wings, shows
a dangerous voyage, or other ill accident. To <lream you see com·
mon ants, which are diligent and industrious in providing their
food, is good for ploughmen and farmers, because they signify
fortility; for where there is no grain you will find no ants. To
such 38 Jive upon the public, and reap profits by many, they are
very good; and to such as are sick, if they dream they come near
the body; for they are industrious and cease not to labor, which
is proper to such as live; but if they dream that ants range about
their bodies, it is a token of death; because they are inhabitanta
of earth, and are cold and black. 7, 49, 20.
APP .AREL. To dream that your apparel is proper. and suited
to the season of the year, denotes prosperity and happineBS; or
that your apparel is made of linen and tine woo~ if in the sum·
mer is good; bnt in the winter it is better to dream your apparel
a new, and made of strong cloth. To dream of white apparel is
good only to priests, because it. belongs to them in the administra-
tion of their sacred function; but to others it signifie11 trouble; to
mechanics it signifies want of business; to the sick, white ap-
parel denotes death ; rut th1it which is black, their recovery. To
be apparelled in a garmi>nt of divers colors, or of scarlet, ie gooi
for priests and players; but to others it denotes d.iulgere, trouble11,

and a diacovery of such things as ought to be concealed. And

unto the sick, the dreaming of their being so apparelled, Bhon
that they ahall be much troubled with a redundancy of humor&
For rich wen and servants to be arrayed in scarlet robes, is a sig-
nification of honor, dignity, and liberty. But such a dream bringa
death to the sick, and an increase of poverty to the poor, and to
many captivity. To be apparelled in a robe dyed in scarlet, sig-
nifies hurts to some, and aguos to othe!'ll. As to women's apparel:
to dream of a woman's gown, it is good only to single persons, •
and such as come to act their parts upon stages ; for married
men after such dreams have lost their wives, or fallen into gnW
sickness, because those who wear such garments are effeminate
persons. Notwithstanding which, to dream of gowns of divers
eolors, or of women's gowns, is not at all bad, when you dream
likewise that it is upon the account of great rejoicing, or of public
assemblies. To dream you are apparelled in a gown of the faahion
of some strange nation, shows such a one good luck among
strangers, if they design to go among them. To dream of having
a delicate and sumptuous gown, is good both to rich and poor; for,
to the first, their present prosperity shall continue, and to the
other, their goods shall increase. Gowns that aro torn show huri
and hindrance of affairs. 17, 20.
· APPLES. To dream you see apple-trees, and eat sweet and
ripe apples, denotes joy, pleasure, and recreation, especially to
virgins; but sour apples signify contention and sedition. 4, 11,
"· APRICOTS. &e FroiL
ASS. The ass in dreams denotes a good servant or slave, that
ie profitable to his master : it also indicates a foolish and ignoraut
person. To dream you see an ass, is a sign of malice. To see wi
us sitting on his crupper, denotes laboriousness. To dream you
hear an ass bray, shows you shall meet with some loss. To dream
of asses bearing charge, strong and obedient, is good for friend-
ship and company, and signifies the wife's companion or friend.
being not proud above their estate, or fierce, but gentle and very
obedient; they are also good in affairs and enterprises. To see
an ass run, denotes misfortune, especially to a man that is sick,
62, 18, 20.
AUTHORITY. It is good always for a rich man to think or
dream he is in authority. 21.
BACK. To dream you see your back, betokens some unhap-
piness; for the back and all the hinder parts signify old age.
To dream a man's back is broken, hurt, or scabby, shows his
•nemies will get the better of him, and that ho will be scoffed at.
To dream of the back-bone, indicates health and joy, and that he
will take delight in his wife and children. 2, 19, 42.

lrouble, oont.ention, and being overthrown at lilw. 20, 1.

dream you eat or drink therein, shows you have a love to the
1ervant-maid. For a man to see him~elf iu a basin, as in a gl888,
denotes he shall have children by a servant-maid. 2, 13, 69.
BATH. To dream one sees a bath, is a sign of affliction or
grief. If a person dreams he goes into, or sees himself in a bath,
and that he finds it too hot, be will be troubled and afflicted by
those that belong to hill family. If one dreams he has only
pulled oft' his clothes, without going into the bath, he will have
some disturbance, but of no long continuance. If one dreams he
goes into an extremely cold bath, the same signifi~tion is to be
given of it as when it is too hot. But if it be temperate, and as it
ought to be, it is a good dream, presaging prosperity, joy, and
health. 20, 31.
BA.Y-TREE. To dream of the bay-tree, denotes a rich and fair

BEE8. To dream of bees is good and had : good, if they sting
not, but bad, if they sting the party dreaming, for then the bees
do signify enemies; and therefore to dream that bees fly about
your ears, shows your being beset with many enemies; but if
you beat them off, without being stung by them, it is a sign of
victory, and of your overcoming them. To dream of seeing bees.
indicates profit to rountry people, and trouble to the rich ; yet to
dream that they make honey in auy part of the l1ouse or tene-
ment, is a sign of dignity, eloquence, and good success in business.
To take bees, shows profit and gain, by reason of their honey and
wax. 17, 62, 4.

ment of debts. To princes, good fortune, and that their cares

ject& If one dreams that a person of bis acquaintance beheads

dinary, shows his family and estate will increase proportionably,
aooording to the greatneBB of his belly. If one dreams his belly

suits at law. To dream of catching birds by lime twigs, or with
nets, shows the entrapping or ensnaring of enemies by deceitful
means. To dream of great birds, is better for the rich than the

hear little birds chirp is a good sign. To see birds fighting be-
tokens adversity. To see birds tly over your head, shows preju-
dice by enemies. To see t.lackbirds, denotes trouble. To hear
birds sing, is joy and delight. 14, 77.
BIRDS.NESTS. To dream you find one is a good sign. To
dream you find one without either eggs or birds, shows you will
meet with a great disappointment. 64•
.BIRDING. To dream you catch birds, is a sign of profit and
pleasure.
BLIND. To dre<.1m of being blind, shows a man shall be ad-
monished to foresee his errors and avoid them, especially in love
affairs. This dream also threatens the dreamer with want of
money-when a man at noon-day cannot see a penny in his purse,
which is a common kind of blindness. 66.
BLOOD. To dream you vomit much blood, and of a good color
is good for him that is poor, for he shall get store of money. It i8
also very good for him who hath no children, and whose kindred
are in a strange country: the first shall see a child of his own ;
the other, his kindred returning home. To dream of carrying
blood, is not good for them that desire to be hidden. To dream

BREAD. To Jream of eating such bread as is usual, or as the
person dreaming is accustomed to, is good: but to dream or eating
11Dusual bread is bad: and therefore for the poor to dream they eat

ren, betokens vexations; beca'llse our brethren bring us nothing
when they are born, but dimhlish our inheritance and succession,

are divided into many parts between them and us. Timocrates
dreamed that he buried, or ca.iJed to be interred, one of his
brothers, departed, and a little while after, one of his chief ad·
versarie11 died. To dream of the death of our brethren, signi·
tleth, not only the loss of our en<lmies, but also deliverance or
acquittance from some loss or hurt '>\ hich attended us, and where·
of we stood in fear; as it happened to Diocles, the grammarian,
who sustained no 1088 of money, wl&reof he stc.od in doubt, and
was afraid because he dreamed befo.e that he saw his brother

lllldness, sickness, and poverty. When one dreams he sees a

he will speedily marry, have success, and prosper in his under·
tanngs. To dream that you make candles, is a sign of rejoicing.

leopards, doge, tigers, '>r such like beasts, is only good to those

yet notwithstanding he hath none, it signifies it will be very diffi.
cult for hirn ever to have any, besides which, he that so dreams,
will have many cam1 and obstructions in his alfairs. If any one

cltildren, and to suck some woman's breast which he knoweth, it

girls should be married and have children, which betokens to thAu>

CLOAK. To dream that one has lost his cloak, is good it it be

no change, but shall keep the old one still. 32.
CLOTHES. If a man dream he has a new suit of clothes, it is
a sign of honor. To dream that you see your clothes burned, de-
notes loss and damage. 'l'o dream that you see yourself in black
clothes, signifies joy. To dream that you take your clothes to put

all over with gold, o~ any other kind of embroidery, signifies joy
and honor. 24.
JLOUDS. To dream of white clouds, is a sign of prosperity;
clouds mounting high from the earth, denote voyages, and return

 PALMISTRY;
OB, TELLING FORTUNES BY THE LINES OF THE HA.ND.
FOB this purpose, the left; hand is always the one choeen, i\
being supposed that the heart and brain have more influence over
it than its fellow. The art of palmistry is no guess-work, as many
persom1 suppose-but is founded upon, and determmed by sim·
ple rules and iong observation.
The practical part of palmistry, is that which gathereth proba-
ble predict10ns from lines, the places of the planets in the hand,
and from the notes and characters everywhere pointed and
marked 01t1. in the hands and flngel'!I. Our readers will therefore
be careful to let the following rules be duly observed:-
In the first place each finger has its name.

! l) Forefinger:
2) M::ddle finger:
3) Ring finger :
4) Little finger:
fi) Thumb:
Jupiter
Saturn
The Bun
M:ercuiy
Venus
Each hand has five main lines.
(1) The Life li:ie: Vitali11.
(2) The Natural line. Naturalis.
(3) The Table line: M:ensalis.
(4) The Liver line: Hepatica.
(fi) The Wrist line: Rascetta.
(&e Engraving.)
1. VITALIS; OR, THE LINE OF
LIFE.
~ The principal line m the hand is
called Vilalia, or the line of Life.
This being broad, of a lively color,
and decently drawn in its bounds,
without intersections and points, shows
the party long lived, and subject but to
few diseases.
If slender, short, and dissected with
obverse little lines ; and deformed
either 'tty a pale or black color, it pre-
ssgeth weakness of the body, sicknesa,
and a short life.
Jf the line of Life is anywhere b~
kt>n, it threatens extreme danger of
life in that part of the age which the
break in the line shows The, Jim~ ol
o, "' b,L;oogLe
119 TELLING FORTUNES BY ~°'IE LINES 01' TBJI BAND.

Life begins between l! and ~ (the thumb and forefinger), and

the length of life is in proportion to the length of the line of Lite.
If you wiAh to find out the dangerous years of your age, you muat
divide the line into seventy parts, and commence to count the num·
ber of divisions, beginning from Rascetta, or Wrist line, and the
number falling where the line is broken, shows your unlucky or
unhealthy year.
In most cases, one or more lines run from the Natural line to
the line of Life. This indicates the partner of one's life. The
point where the junction takes place denotes the point of time
of the marriage. If this occurs near the commencement of the
line, of course the marriage will take place early in life. If two
lines unite with the line of Life, it indicates two husbands (or
wives). If no line joins it, the person will remain unmarried.

2. NATURALIS; OR, NATURAL LINE.

The next line in importance is Naturalie, or the Natural iine.
Thie line takes its beginning at l!, and runs to ll . If this llile ia
straight and continued, and not dil!se<'ted by lines, it denotes a
strong constitution, excellent digestive organs, and an amiable
disposition. Large crosses in this line, signify imprudenoe, loea
of property, and a fiery temper.

3. M:ENSALIS; OR, THE TABLE LINE.

M:enealie, or the Table line, commonly known as the line of
Fortune, begins under ~ and ends under l!. If this line is broad
and fair, without being broken, it is a sign that, with care and
industry, the person will lead a happy life; but if broken, it shows
that great prudence is needed to avert threatened misfortune.
If well defined, this line indicates an amorous temperament, and
signifies good fortune in love and wedlock.
Sometimes little lines sprout from this one and run between
the fingers, or opposite the base of the fingers. If one of these
lines terminates at the base of '}, it denotes wealth and honors;
if at 0, it foretells success in love; if between '} and 0, it ia a
sign of sorrow and disappointment; if between l! and '1, you
will some day lose a large sum of money, either by being cheated,
or making a bad bargain.
From the ring finger (Solis 0) there commonly runs one or
more lines into the Table line. These denote the various incliu-
tions of the heart. If but a single line is actually visible, and it
this is deep and long, the person loves or will love faithfully and
warmly. If a number of smaller lines are found in its place, the
person is inconstancy itself, a butterfly roving from flower to
flower. Add up all these little lines, and the sum will give :t'Oll
the number of times tho person will fall in lo,ve. I ·

4. HEP.A.TICA; OR, THE LIVER LINE.

This line runs from the outside of the hand under ii to I.he
base of lt. If it is stri.ight and strongly defined, it !lignifies a
robust constitution, a merry disposition, and great intelligence.
If it is short and broken, it foretells sickness and death. IC it
throws out branches near its commencement, it portends a mis-
chievous inclination to play pranks; it also shows wit, acuteness,
great determination, and presence of mind.

6. R.A.SCETTA; OR, THE WRIST LINE.

When this line is perfect and unbroken, it signifies good fol'
tune in all matters of importance. It portends health, strength,
success in love and mo.iey matters, and a happy and long life.
If the Rascetta line is broken and imperfect, it portends a long
life, and final succe88, after enduring many hardships and trials.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE FINGERS.
The structure of the hand itself is most admirable in respect to
the proportion it bearet!J. to the face, and certain parts thereof,
which is this:-
1. The whole hand is of equal length with the face.
2. The greater joint of the forefinger equals the height of the
forehead.
3. The other two (to the extremity of the nail) is just the
length of the nose, viz., from the intercelia, or place between the
eyebrows, to ·the tip of the nostrils. .
4. The first and greater joint of the middle finger, is just as
long as it is between the bottom of the chin and the top of the
under lip.
6. But the third joint of the same finger is of equal length,
with the distance that is between the mouth and the lower part
of the nostrils.
6. The largest joint of the thumb gives the width of the mouth.
7. The distance between the bottom of the chin and the top of
the lower lip, the same.
8. The lesser joint of the thumb is equal to the distance between
the top of the under lip and the lower part of the nostrils. The
nails obtain just the half of their respective uppermost joints.
which they call omychios.

HOW TO TELL A PERSON'S CHARACTER

Tms is said to have been the invention of the sage Pythagoras,
whose doctrine was that every thing in the,

eented and governed by certain llgurea or numbers, to which ht

uoribed my11terious properties and virtues. According to him,
every thing, from the Supreme Being himself, down to the minutest
atom, waa distinguished by its own proper number; and his belief
was shared by numberleee other philosophers. Without entering
"1to any detail of this system, we will proceed to deacribe how
these calculations are made. An alphabetical table must be firs&

FORTUNE TELLING
BY THE GROUNDS IN .A TEA. OR' COFFEE CUP.
Potra the grounds of tea or coffee into a white cup; shake them
well about, eo as to spread them over the surface; reverse tht1
cup to drain away the superfluous contents, and then exercise
your fertile fancy in discovering what the figures thus formed
represent. Long, wavy lines denote vexatioi.s and losses-their
importance depending ou the number of lines. Straight ones,
on the contrary, foretell peace, tranquillity, and long life. Human
figures are usually good omens, announcing Jove affairs, and mar-
riage. If circular figures predominate, the person for whom the
experiment ie made, may expect to receive money. If these cir-
cles it.re connected by straight, unbroken lines, thero will be dE>lay,
but ultimately all will be satisfactory, Squares, foretell peace and
bappiness; oblong figures, family discord ; whilst curved, twisted,
•r angular ones, are certain signs of vexations and annoyances,
~p. probable duration being determined by the number of f6ures.
A cr<>wn, eignifies honor; a cross, news of death ; a ring, mar•
riap-if a letter can be discovered near it, that will be the initial
of the name of the fut\ll'e spouse. If the ring is in the clear part
of the cup, it foretells a happy union; if clouds are about it, the
contrary; but if it should chance to be quite at the bottom, then
tl>.e marriage will never take place. .A leaf of clover, or trefoi~ is
a good sign, denoting, if at the top of the cup, speedy good for-
tune, which will be more or less distant in case it appears at, or
near the bottom. The anchor, if nt the bottom of tho cup, denotes
success in business ; at the top, and in the clear part, Jove and
9.delity; but in thick, or cloudy parts, inconstancy. The serpent
is alwa)'B the sign of an enemy, and if in the cloudy part, gives
warning that great prudence will be necessary to wnrd off misfor-
tune. The coOln, portouds news of a death, or long illnee& The
dog, at the top of the cup, denotes true and faithful friends; in
tho middle, that they are not to be trusted; but at the bottom,
that they are secret enemies. The lily, at the top of the cup, fore-
tells a happy marriage; at the bottom, auger. A letter, signifies
news ; if in the clear, very w.elcome ones ; surrounded by dots,
a remittance of money; but if hemmed in by clouds, bad tidings,

)fountains signify either friends or enemies, according to their
situation. The sun, moon, and stan, denotl! happiness, success.
The clouds, happiness or misfortune, aooording as they are bright
or dark. Birds are good omens, but quadruped-with the excep-
tion of the dog-foretell trouble and difficulties. Fish, imply ~
news from ncr088 the water. A triangle, portends an unexpected
legacy; a single straight line, a journey. The figure of a man,
indicates a speedy visitor ; if the arm is outstretched, a present;
when the figure is very distinct, it shows that the person expected
will be of dark complexion, and tJia 11erad. A crown, near a cross,
indicates a larii;e fortune, resulting from a death. Flowers, are
signs of joy, happiness, and peaceful life. A heart, surrounded
by dote, signifies joy, occasioned by the receipt of money; with a
ring near it, approaching marriage.

HOW TO READ YOUR FORTUNE BY THE

WHITE OF AN EGG.
Bu:u: a new-laid egg, and, carefully separating the yolk from the
white, drop the latter int<> a large tumbler half full of water; plaoe
this, uncovered, in some dry place, and let it remain untouc!led
for four-and-twenty hours, by which time the white of the egg
will have formed itself into various figures-rounds, squam,
ovals, animals, trees, crosses, &c.-which are to be in1erpreted in
the same manner ns those formed by the coffee grounds. Of
course, the more whites there are in the glass, the more figures
there will be.
This is a very pretty experiment. and much practised by the
young Scotch maidens, who, however, believe it to have more
efficacy when tried on either Midsummer Eve or Hallowe'en (31st
October~

Almost all persons (being of the male sex) that are born on th"
days included in the foregoing table, will, in a greater or less de-
gree suffer, not only by pecuniary embarrassment and losses oi
property, but will also experience great distress and anxiety of
mind, much dissatisfaction, dissension, and unhappiness in their
family affairs, much disaffection to each other among the married
ones (indeed fow of them can ever be happy in the married state),
trouble about their children, daughters forming unfortunate attach·
mcnts, and a variety of untoward events of other descriptions
which our limits do not allow us to particularize. The influence
of thei;e days a>re of a quality and tendency calculated to excite
in the minds of persons born on them, an extraordinary itch for
speculation, to make changes in their affairs, commence new
andertakings of various kinds, but all of them will tend nearly to
J>ne point-loss of property and pecuniary embarrassments. Such
persons who embark their capital on credit in new concerns or
engagements, will be likely to receive checks or interruptions t1>
the progress of their schemes or undertakings. Those who enter
into engabrements intended to be permanent, whether purchases,
leases, partnerships, or in short any other speculation of a descrip·
tion which cannot readily be traDSferred, or i<>t rid of, will dearly
repent their bargains.
They will find their affairs from time to time much interrupted

We particularly advise all females born on these days to be
extremely cautious or placing their affections too hastily, as they
will be subject to disappointments and vexatiotia in that respect; it
will be better for them (in those matters) to be guided by the ad·
vice of their friends, rather than by their own feelings, they will
be less fortunate in placing their affections, than in any other ac-
tion of thElir lives, as many of these marriages will terminate in
separations, divorces, &c. Their courtships will end in elopements,
seduction~. and other ways not necessary or explanation Our
readers Il'Ust be well aware that affairs of importance begun at
inauspiciC"ls times, l:Jy those who have been born at those periods
when the '!tars shed their malign influence, can seldom, if 9ver,
lead to much good: it is, therefore, that we· endeavor to lay
before th.icn a correct statement drawn from accurate astrologi~
information, in order that by strict attention and care, they may
avoid fall:ng into those perplexing labyrinths from which nothing
but that caro and attention can savo them. The list of days wo
have abovo given, will be productive of hasty and clandestint
marriages-marriages under untoward circum~tances, perplexing
attachments, and, as a natural consequence, the displeasure ot
friends, together with family broils, dissensions, 1111d diviakla&

Although the greater number, or indeed nearly all the ladles
that are born on the days stated in the preceding list, will be
likely to meet with a pro.•pect of marrillge, or become engaged in
some love affair of more than ordinary importance, yet it must not
be expected that the resuU will be the same with all of them ;
with some they will terminate in marriage-with others in disap-
pointment-and some of them will be in danger of formin!( at-
tach:ment' that may prove of a somewhat troublesome deAcription.
We shall, therefore, in order to enable our readers to distinguish
them, give a comprehensive and useful list, showing which of
them will be most likely to marry.
Thoee born within the limits of the succeeding List of Hours,
on any of the preceding days, will be the most likely to marry-or

· t e do not presume to assert that every lady born on the last
m ntioned times, will be exempt from all descriptions of trouble
d ing the whole of th-?ir lives, but that they will never (m spite
~ J'Vhatever may happen to befall them) sink below mediocrity.
~'vtn servants and those born of poor parents will posse88 some
au)ierior qualities-get into good oompany-be much noticed by
their superiors, and will, in spite of any interveuing difficulties,
establish themselves in the world, and rise much above their
sphere of birth.
It has often been recorded, and though a singular observation,
experience has shown it to be a true one, that some event of im-
portance is sure to hapJ>6n to a woman in her thirty-first year,
whether single or married ; it may prove for her good, or it may
be some great evil or temptation; therefore we advise her t-0 be
cautious and circumspect in all her actions. If she is a maiden
or widow. it is probable she will marry this year. If a wife, thal
she will lose her children or husband: she will either receive
riches or travel into a foreign land: at all events, some circum-
stance or other will take place during this remarkable year of her
life, that will have great effect on her future fortunes and exist-
ence.
The like is applicable to men in their forty-seoond year, of
which so many instances have been proved that there is not a
doubt of its truth: Observe always to take a lease for an odd
number of years; even are not prosperous. The three first day~
of the moon are the best for signing papers, and the first five days
as well as the twenty-fourth for any fresh undertaking. But we
cannot but allow that a great deal depends on our own industry
and persevera&ce, and by strictly discharging our duty to G-Od aNl
man, we may often overoome the malign infiuence of a bad plane~
or a day marked as unlucky in the book of fate.

Ch" best husband. You take any twt.nty-two cards from the
p;Wc, give seven of them to each of the three ladies, and keep the
tweo~-eeoond for yourself. Each lady now counts the apotaupon
her cards, the ace counting for eleven, the king for four, the queen
for three, the knave for two, and the reRt of the cards according
io their spots, the ten for ten, and the nine for nine, etc.
Let each lady now divide the number of spots upon her cards,
by the number of spots upon the card which you have retained,.
and write the quotient upon the corner of a triangle drnwn upo.i
the table. For example, the first lady has 19 spot~ upon her
cards ; the second, 32 ; the third, 54. The card retuined by you,
baa 6 spots; accordingly, the quotient obtained by the fil'>lt lady
(6 int.o 19}, ia 3·h that obtained by the second (6 into 32), is 6f,
that obtained by the third (6 into 54), is 9. These three quotients,
wr*8n in the o.>rner of a triangle, make a figure like Fig. 1.

You now add together the two numbers, which stand on the

CHARMS AND CEREMONIES.

THE CHARM:S OF ST. CATHERINE.
Tme day falls on the 25th of November, and must be thu.
celebrated. Let any number of young women, not exceedina
teven or less than three, a888mble in a room, where they are aure
to be safe from interlopers ; just as the clock strikee eleven at
night, take from your boaom a sprig of myrtle, which you muat
have worn there all day, and fold it up in a bit of tissue paper,
then light up a small challng dish of charcoal, and on it let each
maiden throw nine hairs f'rom her bead, and a paring of her toe
and finger nails, then let each sprinkle a small quantity of myrtle
and frankincense in the dharcoal, and while the odoriferous vapor
risea, fumigate your myrtle (this plant, or tree is oonll8Cl'8ted tc.
Venus) with it. Go to bed w!iile the ,clock is striking twelve,
and you will be sure to dream of your future husband, and place
the myrtle exactly under your head. Observe, it is no manner of
use trying this charm, if you are not a real virgin, and the myrtle
hour of performance must be passed in strict silence.

On the 28th of October, which is a double Saint'1 day, tak• an

apple~ par:e it who}e, and take the paring In your right hand, and
atandmg m the llllddle o( the room say the following verse:

 CB.AIUIS .AND CSUKOJ.'1Ka. 181
St. Simon and Jude,
On you I intrude,
By this paring I hold to diaoover,
Without any delay,
To wll me this day,
The first letter of my own true lover.
'1'urn round three times, and cast the paring over your lei\
shoulder, and it will form the first letter or your future husband's
1unwne; but if the paring breaks into many pieces, so that no
letter is discernible, you will never marry ; take the pips of the
same apple, put them in spring wawr, and drink them.
TO KNOW HOW SOON A. PERSON WILL BE MARRIED.
Get a green pea-pod, in which are exactly nine peas, bang it
over the door, and then take notice of the next person who comes
in, who is not of the family, and if it proves a bachelor, you wi!l
certainly lie married within that year.
On any Friday throughout the year-Take rosemary flowers,
bay leaves, thyme, and sweet mi.rjoram, of each a handful; dry
these, and ma&ke them into a fine pnwder; then take a tea-spoon-
Cul oC each sort, mix the powders together; then take twice the
quantity of barley flour and make the whole into cake with the
milk of a red cow. Thia cake is not to be baked, but wrapped in
clean writing paper, and laid under your head any Friday night.
If the person dreams of music, she will wed those she desires,
and that shortly ; if of fire, she will be crossed in love ; if of a
church, she will die single. If any thing is written or the least
spot of ink is on the paper, it will not do.
TO KNOW WHAT FORTUNE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND
WILL BE.
Take a walnut, a hazel-nut, and nutmeg; grate them together,
and mix di41m with butter and sugar, and make them up into small
pills, of winch exactly nine must be taken on going to bed ; and
according to her dreams, 110 will be the state of the person she
will marry. If a gentleman, of riches; if a clergyman, of •hite
linen; if a lawyer, of darkneBB; if a tradesman, of odd noises and
tumults; if a soldier or sailor, of thunder and lightning ; if a 11cr-
vant, or rain.
i'O KNOW IF A. WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HAVE A
GIRL OR BOY.
Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and ot
I.be month she conceived with child, and likewise adding all the
numbers of those letters together, divide them by seven; and
then if the remaillder be even, it will be a jtirl ; if uneven, it will
Ma boy.
131 CH.ARMS .AND C&R&\IONil:S.

TO KNOW IF A CHILD NEW-BORN SH.A.LL LIYE on NOT.

Write the proper names of the father and mother, and of the
day the child was born, and put to each letter ita number, as you
did before, and unto the total sum, being collected together, pu\
twenty-five, and then divide the whole by seven; and then, if i\
be even, the child shall die; but if it be uneven, the child 8hal
JiYe.
TO KNOW IF .ANY ONE SHALL ENJOY THEIR LOVE
OR NOT.
Take the number of the first letter of your name, the number
of the planet, and the day of the week ; put all these together,
and divide them by thirty ; if it be above, it will come to your
mind, and if below, to the contrary ; and mind that number which
exceeds not thirty.
MIDSUMMER-DAY CHARM, TO KNOW YOUR JlUSBAND'S
TRADE.
Exactly at twelve, on Midsummer-day, place a l>ow' oC water
in the sun, pour in some boiling pewter as the clock ia atrikhia,
saying thus:-
Here I try a potent spell,
Queen of \ove, and Juno tell,
In kind union unto me,
What my husband is to be,
This the day, and this the hour,
When it seems you have the power
For to be a maiden's friend,
So, good ladies, condescend.
A tobacco-pipe full is enough. When tha pewter ls cold, tab
It out of the water, and drain it dry in a cloth, and you will find
the emblems of your future husband's trade quite plain. !f more
than one, you wiil marry twice ; if confused and no emble1D8,
you will never marry; a coach Shows a gentleman for you.

A CHARM FOR DREAMING.

When you go to bed, place under your pillow a Common Prayer
Book, open nt the part of the Matrimonial service, in which is
printed, " With this ring I thee wed," etc., place on it a key, a ring, a
Bower and a sprig of willow, a small heart cake, a ~rust of bread,
and the following cards, the ten ·Of clubs, nine of hearts, ace of
spades, and the. ace of diamonds; wrap all these round in a hand·
'rerchief of thin gauze or muslin, on getting into bed croaa your
11Qlld& and say :

Luna ever woman's friend,
To me thy goodness condescend;
Let me this night in visions see,
Emblems of my destiny ·
It 1ou dream of storms, trouble will betide you; if the storm
ends in a line calm, so will your fate; if of a ring, or of the ace
of diamonds, marriage; bread, 11n industrious life ; cake, a pros·
perous life ; flowers, joy ; willow, treachery in love ; spadee,
death; diamonds, money ; clubs, a foreign L-md ; hearts, illegiti·
mate children ; keys, that you will rise to great trust and power,
and never know want; birds, that you will have many children;
geese, that you will marry more than once.
THE FLOWER AUGURY.
If a young man or woman receives a present of fiowera, ot
a nosegay from. their sweeth~art, unsolicited, for if asked for,
it destroys the influence of the spell ; let them keep them in the
usual manner in cold water four-and-twenty hours, then shit\ the
water, and let ~hem stand another twenty-four hours, then take
them, and immerse the stalks in water nearly boiling, leave them
to perish for three hours, then look at them ; if they are perished,
or drooping, your lover is false; if revived and blooming, you will
be happy in your choice.
HOW TO TELL BY .A SCREW, WHETHER YOUR SWEET-
HEART LOVES YOU OR NOT.
Get a small screw, such as the carpenters use for hanging closet-
doors, and after making a hole in a plank with a gimlet of a
proper size, put the screw in, being careful to oil the end with a
little sweet oil. .A.t\er ha,,ing done this, take a screw-driver and
drive the screw home, but you must be sure and obser'l'e how
many turns it takes to get the screw in so far that it will go no
farther. If it requires an odd number of turns you can rest as-
sured that your sweetheart does not love you yet, and perhaps is
enamored of some other person ; but if the number of turns is an
even number, be happy, (or your sweetheart adores you, and livee
only in the sunshine of your presence.

THE :MATHEMATIOAL FORTUNE TELLER;

You propoee to tell how old any person is, providing their •89
doos not exceed sixty. How is this done?
Request the person to give you all the cards containing his or
her age, and then add the right band upper comer figures to-
gether, which will give the correct answer. For example: Sup-
lJOBe the person's age ia 20, the cards with 4 and 16 in th•
eorners will be given, which makes the answer 20, and so on witk
the others.
