If you ask a favor of any one on the fourteenth day, it will be granted.
The sickness that befalls a person on the fifteenth day is likely to prove mortal.
The child that is born on the sixteenth day will be of very ungraceful manners and unfortunate; it is nevertheless a good day for buying and selling merchandise.
The child born on the seventeenth day will be very foolish; it is a very unfortunate day to transact any kind of business or contract marriage.
The child born on the eighteenth day will be valiant, but will suffer considerable hardships; if a female, she will be chaste and industrious and live respected to a great age.

On the twentieth day the dreams are true, but the child born during it will be dishonest.
The child born on the twenty-first day will grow up healthy and strong, but selfishly inclined and of low habits.
The child born on the twenty-second day will be fortunate; he or she will be of cheerful countenance, religious, and much beloved.

The child born on the twenty-fourth day will achieve many heroic actions and be much admired for his extraordinary abilities.

The child born on the twenty-eighth day will be the delight of his parents, but will not live to a great age.
The child born on the twenty-ninth day will experience many hardships, though in the end they may turn out happily. It is good to marry on this day, and business begun on this day will be prosperous.
And, finally, the child that is born on the thirtieth day will be fortunate and happy and well skilled in arts and sciences.
CHILDREN BORN 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 desires to which he will be subject; still he will be in danger of dying by violence, if he has not great procreation.
_Wednesday._--He shall be given to the study of learning and shall profit thereby.
_Thursday._--He shall arrive at great honor and dignity.
_Friday._--He shall be of a strong constitution, yet perhaps remarkably lecherous.
_Saturday._--Is another bad day; but, notwithstanding, the child may come to good, though it be seldom; but most children born on this day are of a heavy, dull and very dogged disposition.
SICKNESS--LUCKY AND UNLUCKY DAYS.
Whoever, in the first day of any month, fall sick, or is attacked with any infirmity, the third day ensuing is to be feared, which, if he pass, he shall escape.
Those falling ill on the second day of any month, though they be long confined, yet shall recover.
Any illness commencing on the third day will certainly terminate favorably.
Those falling sick on the fourth day will probably linger until the twenty-eighth, which, if they pass, may possibly recover.
Those taken ill on the fifth day may become very low, but will recover.
Persons falling sick on the sixth day may recover, if they pass the fifth day of the ensuing month, but they will stand a poor chance of recovery.
The seventh is a lucky day, and one falling sick on this day may recover, even though having to endure great suffering.
The eighth day is an unfortunate one, and those falling ill on it will not be likely to survive.
Illness commencing on the ninth day will not usually prove fatal, though sometimes so.
On the tenth day, the contrary.
The eleventh day is remarkably fortunate for those falling sick; they will recover speedily.
It is a bad omen to be taken sick on the twelfth of any month; for unless you recover within two or three days, you will most certainly die within the year.
Those falling sick on the thirteenth day, if they pass five days, they will quite likely recover.
The fourteenth is a lucky day, and those taken sick on it will recover in forty-eight hours.
On the contrary, those falling ill on the fifteenth day may experience long and lingering illness, which will probably prove fatal.
Those taken on the sixteenth day, may escape, after some weeks of illness.
Persons falling ill on the seventeenth day are almost sure to die within three weeks.
The eighteenth is a lucky day and those falling sick on that day will undoubtedly recover.
The nineteenth, the same--though the sickness may last much longer.
The twentieth is an uncertain day, and sickness commencing on this day frequently terminates fatally, if it continue more than five days.
The twenty-first day perils one’s life for ten days--that time passed, you will recover.
Those falling sick on the twenty-second, will die within forty-eight hours, or after that time will certainly recover.
Those taken sick on the twenty-third will stand a chance of lingering illness, which will probably terminate favorably.
The twenty-fourth is another unlucky day, and those falling ill on that day, though they be partially restored, will probably die within three months.
On the contrary, the twenty-fifth is a very favorable day, and those falling sick will get well speedily.
The twenty-sixth portends a protracted illness, which will terminate favorably.
The twenty-seventh threatens death, though the chances of recovery are fair.
Those falling ill on the twenty-eighth, menace death.

IMPORTANT ADVICE.
TO FEMALES.--It has often been observed, and experience has shown the observation to be a true one, that some event of importance is sure to happen to a woman in her thirty-first year, whether it prove for her good or it be some great evil or temptation; therefore we advise her to be circumspect in all her actions. If she is a maiden or widow, it is probable she will marry this year. If a wife, that she will lose her children or husband. She will either receive riches or travel into a foreign land; at all events, some circumstance or other will take place during this remarkable year of her life, that will have great effect on her future fortunes and existence.
TO MALES.--The like is applicable to men in their forty-second year, of which there are so many instances that there is not a doubt of its truth. Observe always to take a lease for an odd number of years; an even number is not prosperous. The three first days of the moon are the best for signing papers; and the first five days, as well as the twenty-fourth, for any fresh undertaking.
MOLES. THEIR SITUATION AND THE INDICATION THEY GIVE OF A PERSON’S DISPOSITION AND FUTURE LOT IN LIFE.
Though moles are, in their substance, nothing else than excrescences, or ebullitions which proceed from the state of the blood whilst the fœtus is confined in the womb, yet they are not given in vain, as they are generally characteristic of the disposition and temper of those that bear them; and it is also proved by daily experience that from the shape, situation and other circumstances, they bear a strong analogy to the events which are to happen to a person in future life. Herein are given the common prognostications by moles found in all the various parts of the body, according to the doctrine of the ancients. The larger the mole, the greater 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 angular, it gives a mixture of good and evil; if oblong, a moderate share of fortunate events; the deeper the color, the more favor or disgrace; the lighter, the less of either. If it is very hairy, much misfortune may be expected; but if few long hairs grow upon it, it denotes that your undertakings will be prosperous.
A mole that stands on the right side of the forehead, or right temple, signifies that the person will arrive at sudden wealth and honor, according to their birth and situation in life; which must always be attended to with due consideration.
A mole on the right eyebrow announces speedy marriage; and that the person to whom you will be married will possess many amiable qualities and a good fortune.
A mole on the left of either of these three places announces unexpected disappointment in your most sanguine wishes.
A mole on the outside corner of either eye denotes the person to be of a sober, steady and sedate disposition; but will be liable to a violent death.
A mole on either cheek signifies that the person shall never rise above mediocrity in point of fortune; though at the same time he will never fall into real poverty.
A mole on the nose shows that the person will have good success in most of his or her undertakings.
A mole on the lip, either upper or lower, proves the person to be fond of delicate things and much given to the pleasures of love, in which he or she will most commonly be successful.
A mole on the chin foreshows the person will be attended with prosperity and be highly esteemed.
A mole on the side of the neck shows that the person will narrowly escape suffocation; but will afterward rise to great consideration by an unexpected legacy or inheritance.
A mole on the throat denotes that the person shall become rich by marriage.
A mole on the right breast declares the person to be exposed to a sudden reverse from comfort to distress, by unavoidable accidents. Most of his children will be girls.
A mole on the left breast signifies success in undertakings and an amorous disposition.
A mole on the bosom portends mediocrity of health and fortune.
A mole under the left breast, over the heart, foreshadows that the man will be of a warm disposition, unsettled in mind, fond of rambling and light in his conduct. In a lady, it shows sincerity in love, quick conception and easy travail in childbirth.
A mole on the right side, over any part of the ribs, denotes the person to be pusillanimous, and slow in understanding anything that may be attended with difficulty.
A mole on the belly, denotes the person to be addicted to sloth and gluttony, selfish in almost all articles and seldom inclined to be nice or careful in point of dress.
A mole on either hip shows that the person will have many children and such of them as survive will be healthful, lusty and patient in all hardships.
A mole on the right thigh shows that the person will become rich and also fortunate in marriage.
A mole on the left thigh denotes that the person suffers much by poverty and want of friends, as also by the enmity and injustice of others.
A mole on the right knee signifies that the person will be fortunate in the choice of a partner for life and meet with few disappointments in the world.
A mole on the left knee portends that the person will be rash, inconsiderate and hasty, but modest when in cold blood, honest and inclined to good behavior.
A mole on either leg shows that the person is indolent, thoughtless and indifferent as to whatever may happen.
A mole on either ankle denotes a man to be inclined to effeminacy and elegance of dress--a lady, to be courageous, active and industrious, with some spice of the termagant.
A mole on either foot forebodes sudden illness or unexpected misfortune.
A mole on the right shoulder signifies prudence, discretion, secrecy and wisdom.
A mole on the left shoulder declares a testy, contentious and ungovernable spirit.
A mole on the right arm denotes vigor and undaunted courage. On the left arm, resolution and victory in battle.
A mole near either elbow declares restlessness, a roving and unsteady temper, also a discontentedness with those whom they are obliged constantly to live with.
A mole between the elbow and the wrist promises the person prosperity, but not until he has undergone and suffered many hardships.
A mole on the wrist, or between it and the ends of the fingers, denotes industry, parsimony, fidelity and conjugal affection.
A mole against the heart denotes wickedness. If a woman have a mole on her right knee, she will be honest and virtuous; if on the left, she will have many children.
If a woman have a mole on her lower jaw, it signifies she will pass her life in sorrow and pain of body.
A mole in the midst of the forehead, near the hair, denotes a discourteous, cruel mind and of unpleasant discourse; if it is of a honey color, the person will be beloved; if red, sullen and furious; if black, inexpert and wavering; if raised more like a wart, very fortunate. But if a woman, it shows her to be a slut; and if in her forehead black, treacherous, consents to evil and murder.
A mole on the left side of the forehead, near the hair, predicts misery and abundance of tribulations to a man, by means of his own misconduct; if honey-colored or red, his sorrows are lessened; but if black, unfortunate in every undertaking.
A mole on the left side of the forehead, about the midway, threatens a man with persecutions from his superiors; if of honey color, he prodigally wastes his estate; if red, he will become poor; if black, let him beware of the wrath or malice of great men; if a woman, it threatens sorrow by the perfidy of some men; if black, she will partake of the extremity of misery.
A mole on the left side of the forehead, a little above the temple, if it appear red, denotes a man has excellent wit and understanding; if black, he is in danger of being branded for his falsehoods; if he has a wart, his fate is mitigated. To a woman it signifies justification of innocence, though not deserved; if black, malignity, and it represents every evil.
A mole appearing on the right temple, above the eye, near the head, denotes a long life and good fortune; if pale, or red, he is studious; to a woman, it signifies good and happy fortune in marriage, as she will be of careful conduct.
A mole on the right temple, inclining towards the neck, promiseth ingenuity and riches, as also long life; if honey or red colored, good fortune; if black, trouble; but if as a wart, he shall obtain all good things.
A mole on the left side, towards the upper part of the eye, signifies sickness; if black, a short life; if as a wart, it denotes a good end. To a woman, moderate health, loss of favor of friends, perverse children and enemies; if black, many miseries.
A mole on the ear signifies riches and respect.
If either in a man or woman’s hand a mole appears, it denotes great prosperity and enjoyment of children.
A mole on the left side of the stomach shows a luxurious person.
A mole on the left side of the belly denotes afflictions.
A mole under the hollow of the right eye signifies the party to be furious.
CHARTOLOGY, OR DIVINATION BY CARDS.
Take a pack of cards, shuffle and cut them three different times, lay them on a table, nine in a row; if a man, he may choose one of the kings to represent himself; if a woman, she must select one of the queens; then the queen of the chosen king or the king of the chosen queen, will stand for a 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. Remember that everything is within your circle as far as you can count nine, any way from the card that represents the person, his wife, or her husband, and their intimate friend; also, that the ninth card, every way, is of the greatest consequence.
CLUBS.

_King of Clubs_ announces a man who is humane, upright, affectionate and faithful in all his undertakings; he will be happy himself and make his connections so if he can.
