Draw all the face cards from the pack and put them into your stocking on a Friday night, placing the stocking under your pillow. You must find out by the Almanac the precise time the sun rises on Saturday morning, and at that moment draw a card. A king denotes a speedy marriage; a queen means delay or celibacy; a Jack is a gay seducer who will give you trouble. Diamonds are riches, hearts true love, spades thrift, and clubs poverty. THE SPIDER OMEN. It is considered an ill omen when one sees a spider _in the morning_. The earlier in the morning, and the larger the spider, the greater the evil which threatens you. It is _within doors_, however, and chiefly _in one’s own chamber_, that the spider has this signification—out of doors they forebode no harm. The _wood spider_ especially, is not much to be dreaded; what I have said above refers particularly to the _house spider_. Never, on any account, kill a wood spider. By such an act you would only draw upon yourself the hatred of the whole race of witches, and sooner or later you would suffer from it. When found _in the evening_, a spider signifies good luck. The smaller the spider, the greater the good fortune. I will here teach you the following rhyme:  “Matin, chagrin, Soir, espoir.” Little spiders have much less evil in them than the others, and those called daddy-long-legs are always messengers of good luck. THE STRING TOKEN. If your shoe-tie or apron string breaks, your sweetheart is thinking of you. SIGN WHEN YOUR RIGHT EAR TINGLES. If your _right ear_ tingles, some one is speaking _well_ of you, if the _left ear_ tingles, some one is speaking _ill_ of you. To find out who this some one is, you must call out aloud the names of your acquaintance, one after another. The name at which the tingling ceases is the name of the person. SIGN WHEN TOUR NOSE ITCHES. If your nose itches early in the morning, you will on that very day hear a piece of news. STRANGE BED. Lay under your pillow a prayer-book, opened at the matrimonial service, bound round with the garters you wore that day, and a sprig of myrtle on the page that says  “_With this ring I thee wed_,” and your dream will be ominous, and you will have your fortune as well told as if you had paid a dollar to an astrologer. THE SIGN OF A SNEEZE. If any one tells you anything, and you are shortly after obliged to sneeze, you may be sure that what was told you is true. THE DEATH-TICK. If you hear a wood-tick or death-watch ticking anywhere in the house, you must try to get rid of it as soon as possible, or you will speedily hear of a death which will greatly afflict you. THE CRICKET. If there is a cricket in the house, be careful on no account to disturb it. Think of Dickens’ _Cricket on the Hearth_.
