GOOD COMBINATIONS TO PLAY

COMBINATION TABLE

TO TELL FORTUNES BY DOMINOES.

Lay them with their faces on the table and shuffle them; then draw one and see the number, which has its meaning as follows:

It is useless for persons to draw more than three dominoes at one time of trial, or in one and the same week, as they will only deceive themselves. Shuffle the dominoes each time of choosing.

AUGURY BY DICE

Take three dice, shake them well in the box with your left hand, and then cast them out on a board or table, on which you have previously drawn a circle with chalk.

PALMISTRY

SHOWING THE VARIOUS JUDGEMENTS DRAWN FROM THE HAND.

I shall now say something of palmistry, which is a judgement of the conditions, inclinations, and fortunes of men and women, from the various lines an characters which nature has imprinted in the hand, which are almost as various as the hands that have them. And to render what I shall say more plain, I will in the first place present the scheme or figures of the hand, and explain the various lines therein.

By this the reader will see that one of these lines, and which indeed is reckoned the principal, is called the line of life; this line encloses the thumb, separating it from the hollow of the hand. The next line to it is called the natural line, takes its beginning from the rising of the forefinger, near the line of life, and reaches to the table line, and generally makes a triangle. The table line, commonly called the line of fortune, begins under the little finger, and ends near the middle finger. The girdle of Venus, which is another line so called, begins near the joint of the little finger, and ends between the forefinger and the middle finger. The line of death is that which plainly appears ina counter line to that of life, and is by some called the sister line, ending usually at the other end; for when the line of life is ending, death comes, and it can go no farther. There are also lines in the fleshy parts, as in the ball of the thumb, which is called the mount of Venus, under each of the fingers, are called mounts, which are each one governed by a several panel; and the hollow of the hand is called the plain of Mars.

I now proceed to give judgement of these several lines. And in the first place take notice, that in palmistry the left hand is chiefly to be regarded; because therein the lines are most visible,and have the strictest communication with the heart and brains. Now, having premised these, in the next place observe the line of life, and if it be fair, extended to its full length, and not broken with an intermixture of cross lines, it shows long life and health; and it is the same if a double line of life appears, as there sometimes does. When the stars appear in this line it is a significator of great losses and calamities; if on it there appear the figure of two O's, or a Y, it threatens the person with blindness. If it wraps itself about the table line, then does it promise wealth and honor to be attained by precedence and industry; if the line be cut or jagged at the upper end, it denotes much sickness. If this line be cut by any line coming from the mount of Venus, it declares the person to be unfortunate in love, and business also, and threatens him with sudden death. A cross between the line of life and the table line, shows the person to be very liberal and charitable, and of a noble spirit. Let us now see the signification of the table line.

The table line, when broad, and of a lovely color, shows a healthy constitution and a quiet and contented mind, and courageous spirit. But if it has crosses towards the little finger, it threatens the party with much affliction by sickness. If the line be doubled, or divided in three parts, in any of the extremities, it shows the party to be of a generous temper, and of a good fortune to support it; but if this line be forked at the end, it threatens the person shall suffer by jealousies, fears, and doubts, and with the loss of riches got by deceit. If three points such as these...are found in it, they denote the person prudent and liberal, a lover of learning and of good temper. If it spreads itself to the fore and middle fingers, and ends blunt, it denotes preferment. Let us now see what is signified by the middle finger.

The line has in it sometimes (for there is scarce one hand in which it varies not) divers significant characters. Many small lines between this and the table line threatens the party with sickness, and also gives him hopes of recovery. A half cross branching into this line, declares the person shall have honor, riches, and good success in all his undertakings. A half moon denotes cold and watery distempers, but a sun or star upon this line promises prosperity and riches. This line doubled in a woman, shows she will have several husbands, but without any children by them.

The line of venus, if it happens to be cut or divided near the forefinger, threatens ruin to the party, and that it shall befall him by means of a lascivious woman and bad company. Two crosses upon this line, one being on the forefinger, and the other bending towards the little finger, shows the party to be weak and inclined to modesty and virtue; and indeed, it generally denotes modesty in women; and therefore, those who desire such wives, usually choose them by this standard.

The liver line, if it be straight and crossed by other lines, shows the person to be of a sound judgement, and a piercing understanding; but, if it be winding, crooked, and bending outward, it shows deceit and flattery, and that the person is not to be trusted. If it makes a triangle, or a quadrangle, it shows a person to be of a noble descent and ambitious.

The plain of Mars being in the hollow of the hand, or if the line passes through it, which renders it very plain, is fortunate; this plain being hollowed, and the lines crooked, and distorted, threaten the party to fail by his ill condition. When the lines begin at the wrist, long within the plain, reaching the brown of the hand, they show the person to be one given to quarrelling, often in broils and of a hot and fiery spirit, by which he shall suffer much damage. If deep, large crosses in the middle of the plain, it shows the party shall obtain honor by martial exploits; but if it be a woman, then she shall have several husbands, and easy labor with her children.

The line of death is fatal, when any crosses or broken lines appear in it; for they threaten the person with sickness and short life. A clouded moon appearing there, threatens a child-bed woman with death. A bloody spot in the line, denotes a violent death. A star like a comet, threatens ruin by war and death by pestilence; but if a bright sun appear therein, it promises long life and prosperity.

As for the lines in the wrist, being fair they denote good fortune, but if crossed and broken, the contrary.

Thus much with respect to the several lines in the hand. Now as to the judgement to be made from the hand itself: If the hand be soft and long, and ??? withal, it denotes a person of a good understanding, a lover of peace, and honest, discreet, serviceable, a good neighbor, and a lover of learning. He whose hands are very thick and very short, is thereby signified to be faithful, strong, and laborious, and one that cannot long retain his anger. He whose hands are full of hairs, and those hairs thick and ??? ones, and his fingers withal be cracked, he is thereby noted to be luxurious, vain, false, of a sad understanding and disposition, and more foolish than wise. He whose hands and fingers do bend upwards, is commonly a man liberal, serviceable, a keeper of secrecy, and apt to be poor) for he is seldom fortunate), to do any man courtesy. He whose hand is stiff and will not bend at the upper joint, near his finger, is always a wretched, miserable person, covetous, obstinate, incredulous, and one that will believe nothing that contradicts his own private interest. And thus much shall suffice to be said of judgement made by plamistry.

OF THE NAILS OF THE FINGERS

Broad nails show the person to be bashful, fearful, but of gentle nature. When there is a certain white mark at the extremity of them, it shows that the person has more honesty that subtlety, and that his worldly substance will be impaired through negligence. White nails and long, denote much sickness and infirmity, especially fevers, an indication of strength and deceit by women. If upon the white anything appears at the extremity that is pale, it denotes short life by sudden death, and the person to be given to melancholy. When there appears a certain mixed redness, of divers colors, at the beginning of the nails, it shows the person to be choleric and quarrelsome. When the extremity is black, it is a sign of husbandry. Narrow nails denote the person to be inclined to mischief, and to do injury to his neighbor. Long nails show the person to be good-natured, but mistrustful, and loves reconciliation rather than differences. Oblique nails signify deceit, and want of courage. Lite and round nails denote obstinate anger and hatred. If they be crooked at the extremity, they show pride and fierceness. Round nails show a choleric person, yet soon reconciled, honest, and a lover of secret schemes. Fleshy nails denote the person to be mild in his temper, idle, and lazy. Pale and black nails show the person to be very decitful to his neighbor, and subject to many diseases. Red and marked nails signify a choleric and martial nature, given to cruelty; and, as many little marks as there are, they speak of so many evil desires.

Several Characters or Semblances of Letters, and Lines in the Hand, as they tend to signify Riches, Honor, Long Life, Marriage, Short Life, Poverty, Loss, and Number of Wives, Children, Sickness, untimely Death, and many other things, according to the art of Palmistry, etc.

There are in this case divers letters, lines appearing in the hand, by which the wise in all ages have given judgement in the following premises.

If the letter A be found on the Mount of Jupiter, or at the root of the middle finger, promises growing fortune, and perhaps considerable preferments by the favor of princes and great men.

If B be found on the Mount of the Sun, which is at the root of the finger, it signifies length of days, prosperity, and much to be beloved, as also a virtuous person.

If C, with a star over it, appears on the Mount of Venus, it gives the person early and happy life.

If the letter L be on the Mount of Saturn, which is at the root of the middle finger, and cut with cross lines, it denotes the party to be under much affliction, to be given to melancholy, and short-lived.

The letter K on the Mount of Mercury, which is at the root of the little finger, denotes the party to rise to preferment by ingenuity and marriage.

The letter D on the Mount of the Moon, denotes the party kind, good-natured, and much beloved.

The letter G in the Plain of Mars, near the Line of Life, speaks the party to be of a violent temper, given to anger, and threatens him or her with sudden untimely death; however, to a woman it promises a husband that grows great in military affairs; and thus much for characters of this kind.

MOLES

THE SCIENCE OF FORETELLING FUTURE EVENTS BY MOLES.

These little marks on the skin, although they appear to be the effect of chance or accident, and might easily pass with the unthinking for things of no moment, are nevertheless of the utmost consequence, since from their color, situation, size, and figure, may be accurately gathered the temper of, and the events that will happen to, the person bearing them. As our philosopher, who was a most excellent anatomist, made these signs form a very particular branch of his studies, the result of his great labors and long experience will, we doubt not, be found very agreeable to our readers, and we shall accordingly proceed to give them a faithful translation of his observations.

IMPORTANT FACTS.

We shall remark to our readers, that it is of much importance to be particular in ascertaining the exact situation of the mole, its form, whether it be round, angular, or oblong; also its size and color, because these variations add or diminish the degree of those qualities and events which our author's explanation has atached to each; for example, if the mole be perfectly round, then it denotes much good fortune if of an angular form, a mixture of good and bad fortune; if oblong, then a moderate portion of good, a kind of happy medium; the deeper the color, the more powerful will be either the good or bad fortune indicated; the lighter the color, either will be in a less degree, as our author has uniformly spoken of a mediate color neither dark nor light; if it be very hairy, it denotes many misfortunes, but not so if only a few long hairs grow upon it, then it shows prosperity in your undertakings; again, the larger the mole is, the more serious will be either the prosperity or adversity predicted; and the smaller it is, the less of either will fall to your share; our author has taken the middling size.

Persons who wish to avail themselves fully of our author's information, should not suffer an overstrained bashfulness to prevent their obtaining accurate information with respect to the situation, size, form, and color; especially as in women, a mole is frequently so situated, in those recesses which modesty conceals from view, as not to admit of being discovered but by another; and yet to have a mole so placed is the most fortunate for them.

THE MOON--JUDGEMENTS DRAWN FROM THE MOON'S AGE.

1. A child born within twenty-four hours after the new moon, will be fortunate and live to a good old age. Whatever is dreamt on that day will be fortunate and pleasing to the dreamer.

2. The second day is very lucky for discovering things lost, or hidden treasure; the child born on this day shall thrive.

A BRIEF PROGNOSTICATION CONCERNING CHILDREN BORN ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Sunday, the child shall be of long life, and obtain riches.

Monday, weak, and of an effeminate temper, which seldom brings a man to honor.

Tuesday, worse; though he may, with extraordinary vigilance, conquer the inordinate desire to which he will be subject, still he will be in danger of dying by violence, if he uses not great precaution.

Wednesday, he shall be given to the study of learning, and shall profit thereby.

Thursday, he shall arrive to great honor and dignity.

Friday, he shall be of a strong constitution, yet, perhaps, lecherous.

Saturday is another bad day; notwithstanding, the child may come to good, though it be seldom; but most children born on this day are of a heavy, dull, and dogged disposition.

FORTUNE-TELLING BY CARDS.

As many of those events about to happen may be easily gathered from the cards, we have here affixed the definition which each card in the pack bears separately; by the combining them the reader must judge for himself, observing the following directions in laying them out. First, the person whose fortune is to be told, if a man, must choose one of the four kings to represnt himself--if a woman, she must select one of the queens the chosen card will stand for the husband or wife, mistress or lover of the party whose fortune is to be told, and the knave of the suit for the most intimate person of their family; you must then shuffle and cut the cards well, and let the person whose fortune is to be ascertained, cut them three times, showing the bottom card; this must be repeated three times; then shuffle them again, let them be cut once, and display them in rows on a table, taking care always to have an odd number in each row, nine is the right number, and to place your cards exactly under each other; after this consult the situation in which the person stands by the definition we have here annexed to each card, and after having repeated it three times, form your conclusion, remember that everyone is within your circle as far as you can count thirteen any way from the card that represents the person, his wife, of her husband, and thier intimate friend; and also that the thirteenth card every way is of the greatest consequence; either the whole pack, or only the picked cards may be used.

Another mode with the picked cards is to shuffle and cut them, take three cards from the top--if there be two of a suit, take out the highest card; if three, take all; when you have gone through the pack, shuffle and cut the remainder, and do as before, and repeat the same a third time, then take a general view of all the cards drawn, and next couple them, a top and bottom card, then shuffle and cut them into three heaps, laying one apart in the first round to form a fourth heap; the first heap at the left hand relates to yourself entirely, the next to your family, and the third is the confirmation of the former two; you must proceed a second and third time, adding each time one to the single card, then three single cards gives the connection of the operation; observe you must add the card which represents the person whose fortune is consulted to the three, if it be not there already.

TO TELL FORTUNES BY THE GROUNDS OF A COFFEE OR TEA-CUP.

Directions to Pour out the Coffee-grounds.--Pour the grounds of coffee in a white cup, shake them well about in it, so that their particles may cover the whole surface of the cup; then reverse it into the saucer, that all the superfluous parts may be drained, and the figures required for fortune-telling may be formed. The person that acts the fortune-teller must always bend his thoughts upon him or her that wishes to have their fortune told, and upon their rank and profession, in order to give plausibility to their predictions. It is not to be expected, upon taking up the cup, that the figures will be accurately represented as they are in the pack, and it is quite sufficient if they bear some resemblance to any of the thirty-two emblems; and the more fertile the fancy shall be of the person that inspects the cup, the more he will discover in it. In other respects, every one who takes pleasure in this amusement, must himself be a judge, under what circumstances he is to make changes in point of time, speaking just as it suits, in the present, the past, or the future; in the same manner their ingenuity ought to direct them when to speak, more or less pointedly and determinately, with regard to sex.

The Leaf of Clover.--Is, as well here as in common life, a lucky sign. Its different position in the cup alone makes the difference; because, if it is on the top, it shows that the good fortune is not far distant; but it is subject to delay, if it is in the middle or at the bottom. Should clouds surround it, it shows that many disagreeables will attend the good fortune; in the clear, it prognosticates serene and undisturbed happiness, as bright as the party wishes.

The Serpent.--Always the emblem of falsehood and enmity, is likewise here a general sign of an enemy. On the top, or in the middle of the cup, it promises to the consulting party the triumph which he desires over his enemy; but he will not obtain it so easy if the serpent be in the thick or cloudy part. By the letter which frequently appears near the emblem, the enemy may be easily guessed, it makes the initial of his name.

The Letter.--By letters we communicate to our friends either pleasanr or unpleasant news, and such is the case here; 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 considerable remittance in money; but hemmed in by clouds, it is quite the contrary and forebodes some melancholy or bad tidings, or some other sinister accident. If it be in the clear, and accompanied by a heart, lovers may expect a letter, which secures to the party the possession of the beloved object; but in the thick it denotes a refusal.

The Coffin.--The emblem of death, prognosticates the same thing here, or at least a long and telling illness, if it be in the thick or turbid. In the clear it denotes long life. In the thick, at the top it signifies a considerable estate left to the party by some rich relation; in the same manner at the bottom, it shows that the deceased is not so nearly related to the consulting party.

The Star.--Denotes happiness if in the clear, and at the top of the cup; clouded, or in the thick, it signifies long life, though exposed to various troubles. If dots are about it, it foretells great fortune, wealth, high respectability, etc. Several stars denotes so many good and happy children; but surrounded with dashes, shows that your children will cause you grief and vexation in your old age, and that you ought to prevent it by giving them a good education in time.

The Dog.--Being at all times the emblem of fidelity or envy, has also a twofold meaning here. At the top, in the clear, it signifies true and faithful friends, but if his image be surrounded with clouds and dashes, it shows that those whom you take for your friends are not to be depended on; but if the dog be at the bottom of the cup, you have to dread the effects of extreme envy or jealousy.

The Lily.--If this emblem be at the top, or in the middle of the cup, it signifies that the consulting party either has or will have a virtuous spouse; if it be at the bottom it denotes quite the reverse. In the clear, the lily further betokens long and happy life; if clouded or in the thick, it portends trouble and vexation, especially on the part of one's relations.

The Cross.--Be it one or more, it generally predicts adversities. Its position varies, and so do the circumstances. If it be at the top, and in the clear, it shows that the misfortunes of the party will soon be at an end, or that he will easily get over them; but if it appears in the middle or at the bottom in the thick, the party must expect many severe trials; if it appears with dots, either in the clear or the thick, it promises a speedy change of one's sorrow.

The Clouds.--If they be more light 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, and in all your undertakings; but the brighter they are, the greater will be your happiness.

The Sun.--An emblem of the greatest luck and happiness, if in the clear; but in the thick it bodes a great deal of sadness; surrounded by dots or dashes denotes that an alteration will easily take place.

The Moon.--If it appears in the clear, it denotes high honors; in the dark or the thick part, it implies sadness, which will, however, pass without great prejudice. But if it be at the bottom of the cup, the consulting party will be very fortunate both by water and land.

Mountains.--If it represents only the mountain, it indicates the favor of people of high 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, who are endeavoring to promote the consulting party.

The Tree.--One tree only, be it in the clear or thick part, points out lasting good health; several trees denote that your wishes will be accomplished. If they are encompassed with dashes, it is a token that your fortune is in its blossom, and will require some time to bring it to maturity. If they are accompanied by dots, it is a sign that you will make your fortune in the country where you reside.

The Child.--In the clear part, it bespeaks innocent intercourse between the consulter and another person; in the thick part, excesses in love matters, attended with great expenses; at the bottom of the cup, it denotes the consequences of libidinous amours.

The Pedestrian.--Denotes, in general, a merchant, good business, pleasant news, and the recovery of lost things. It also signifies that the consulting party will soon enlist, or get some engagement.

The Rider.--Denotes good news from abroad in money matters, a good situation in a foreign country, or good prospects. He that doubts his fortune is promised a lasting by this emblem.

The Woman.--Signifies much joy in general. If in the clear, this emblem has a more favorable significance than in the thick; there it shows very great happiness; here a great deal of jealousy. If dots surround the image, it explains the lady's fertility, or her wealth. The different positions in the cup show at the top and in the middle that you will be in love with a virgin; but at the bottom it marks that she is a widow.

The Mouse.--As this animal lives by stealth, it is also an emblem of theft or robbery; if it be in the clear, it shows that you will get again what you lost in a wonderful manner; but if it appears in the thick, you may renounce this hope.

The Roads, or serpentine lines, indicate ways; if they are covered with clouds and in the thick, they are marks of past or future reverses; but if in the clear and serene, are a token of some fortunate change; encompassed with many points or dots, they signify gain of money, likewise long life.

The Ring signifies marriage. If the ring is in the clear, it portends happiness; surrounded with clouds denotes that the party must use precaution lest they be deceived. It is most inauspicious if the ring appear at the bottom of the cup, as it forebodes separation.

The Anchor implies success in business, if at the bottom; at the top in the clear, love and constancy; in thick or cloudy parts, love, but inconstant.

The Cross, be there one or more, predicts adversity. At the top, in the clear, it denotes the party's misfortunes to be near an end.

The Heart.--If in the clear, it signifies future pleasure; if surrounded with dots, it promises recovery of money; if two are together, it shows the party is about marrying.

The Rod.--shows difference with relations about legacies; in the thick, illness.

Flowers.--If the party be married, he may expect good children, who will be a blessing to him in his old age.

Mountains.--If only one, it indicates the favor of people of high rank; if clouded, powerful foes.

Fish.--imply lucky events by water, if in the clear; if in the thick, the consulter will fish in troubled water.

CHARMS AND CEREMONIES.

For knowing Future Events.--Any person fasting on midsummer eve, and sitting in the church porch, will, at midnight, see the spirits of the persons of that parish, who will die that year, come and knock at the church door in the order and succession in which they will die. One of these watchers, there being several in company, fell into a profound sleep, so that he could not be waked; whilst in this state his ghost was seen by the rest of his companions knocking at the church door. Any unmarried woman fasting on midsummer eve, and at midnight laying a clean cloth, with bread, cheese, and ale, and sitting down as if going to eat, the street door being left open, the person whom she is afterward to marry will come into the room, and drink to her by bowing; and afterward filling the glass will leave it on the table, and making another bow, retire. On St. Agnes's night, the 21st of January, take a row of pins, and pull out every one, one after another, saying a paternoster, on sticking a pin in your sleeve, and you will dream of him you shall marry. Another method to see a future spouse in a dream; the party inquiring must lie in a different country from that in which he commonly resides, and on going to bed, must knit the left garter about the right-legged stocking, letting the other garter and stocking alone; and as you rehearse the following verses, at every comma knit a knot:

Accordingly, in a dream he will appear with the insignia of his trade or profession. Another performed by charming the moon, thus! At the first appearance of the new moon, immediately after the new year's day, go out in the evening and stand over the spears of a gate or stile, and looking at the moon, repeat the following lines:

The party will then dream of their future husband. A slice of the bride-cake, thrice drawn through the wedding-ring, and laid under the head of an unmarried woman, will make them dream of their future husband. The same is practiced in the north with a piece of the groaning cheese.

To discover a Thief by the Sieve and Shears.--Stick the points of the shears in the wood of the sieve, and let two persons support it, balanced upright, with their two fingers; then read a certain chapter in the Bible, and afterward ask St. Peter and St. Paul if A. or B. is the thief, naming all the persons you suspect. On naming the real thief, the sieve will suddenly turn round about.

To know whether a Woman shall have the Man she Wishes.--Get two lemon peels and wear them all day, one in each pocket, and at night rub the four posts of the bedstead with them; if she is to succeed, the person will appear in her sleep, and present her with a couple of lemons; if not, there is no hope.

To know what fortune your future Husband shall have. --Take a walnut, a hazel-nut, and a nutmeg, grate them together, and mix them with butter and sugar, and make them up into small pills, of which exactly nine must be taken on going to bed, and according to her dreams so will be the state of the person she will marry. If a gentleman, of riches; if a clergman, of white linen; if a lawyer, of darkness; if a tradesman, of odd noises and tumults; if a soldier or sailor, of thunder and lightning; if a servant, of rain.

To see a Future Husband.--On midsummer eve, just after sunset, three, five, or seven young women are to go into a garden, in which there is no person, and to each to gather a sprig of red sage, and then going into a room by themselves, set a stool in the middle of the room, and on it a clean basin full of rose-water, in which the sprigs of sage are to be put, and tying a line across the room, and on one arm of the stool, each woman is to hang on it a clean shift turned the wrong side outward; then all are to sit down in a row, on the opposite side of the stool, as far distant as the room will admit, not speaking a single word the whole time whatever they may see, and in a few minutes after twelve, each one's future husband will take her sprig out of the rose-water, and sprinkle her shift with it.

The Dumb Cake.--In order to make the dumb cake with perfection, it is necessary to strictly observe the following instructions; let any number of young women take a handful of wheaten flour, and from the moment the hand touches the flour, not a word is to be spoken by any one of them during the rest of the process, and place it on a sheet of white paper; then sprinkle it over with as much salt as can be held between the finger and the thumb; then one of the damsels must bestow as much of her own batter as will make it into dough; which being done, each of the company must roll it up and spread it out three times, and the last must then spread it thin and broad; and each person must, at some distance from each other, make the first letters of her christian and surname with a large, new pin, toward the end of the cake (if more christian names than one, the first letter of each must be made); the cake must then be set before the fire, and each person must sit down in a chair, as far distant from the fire as the room will admit, not speaking a word all this while. This must be done soon after eleven at night; and between that and twelve, each person must turn the cake once, and in a few minutes after the clock strikes twelve, the husband of her who is the first to be married, will appear to lay his hand on that part of the cake which is marked with her name.

7. If a hare cross you on a Saturday morning, it promises happy days, riches, and pleasure.

SIGNS TO CHOOSE GOOD HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

1. If the party be of a ruddy complexion, high and full nosed, his eyebrows bending archwise, his eyes standing full, of a black and lively color, it denotes him good-natured, ingenious, and born to good fortune, and the like in a woman, if born under the planet Jupiter.

2. If the party be phlegmatic, lean, and of a dusky complexion, given much to musing and melancholy, beware of such a one, of what sex soever.

3. An indifferent wide mouth, and full cheeks, smooth forehead, little ears, dark brown hair, and a chin proportionate to the face, is very promising.

4. An extraordinarily long chin, with the under-lip larger than the upper, signifies a cross-grained person, fit for little business, yet given to folly.

5. A well-set broad chin in a man, his face being round, and not too great, and a dimple or dent in a woman's cheek or chin, denotes they will come together and live happily.

Queries about Fortunate Days.

CHARMS, SPELLS AND INCANTATIONS.

The Three Keys.--Purchase three small keys, each at a different place, and going to bed, tie them together with your garter, and place them in your left-hand glove, along with a small flat dough cake, on which you have pricked the first letters of your sweetheart's name; put them in your bosom when you retire to rest; if you are to have that young man you will dream of him, but not else. This charm is the most effectual on the first or third of a new moon.

The Magic Ring.--Borrow a wedding-ring, concealing the purpose for which you borrow it; but no widow's or pretended marriage ring will do, it spoils the charm; wear it for three hours at least before you retire to rest, and then suspend it by a hair of your head over your pillow; write within a circle resembling a ring, the sentence from the matrimonial service, beginning with, with this ring I thee wed, and round the circle write your name at full length, and the figures that stand for your age, place it under your pillow, and your dream will fully explain who you are to marry; and what kind of a fate you will have with them. If your dream is too confused to remember it, or you do not dream at all, it is a certain sign you will never be married.

To know if a Woman with Child will have a Girl or a Boy.--Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and the month she conceived with child; count the letters in these words, and divide the amount by seven; and then if the remainder be even, it will be a girl, if uneven, it will be a boy.

To know if a Child new-born shall live or not.-- Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the day the child was born; count the letters in these words, and to the amount add twenty-five, and then divide by seven; if the remainder be even, the child shall die, but if it be uneven, the child shall live.

To know how soon a Person will be married.--Get a green pea-pod, in which are exactly nine peas; hang it over the door, and then take notice of the next person who comes in, who is not of the family, nor of the same sex with yourself, and if this proves an unmarried individual, you will certainly be married within that year.
