AN OMEN OF RICHES. When an _ant-heap_ gathers in your house, it signifies _coming wealth_—you may, however, destroy the nest. THE FROG PROGNOSTIC. If the first _frog_ that you see in the spring of the year is sitting upon _dry ground_, it signifies that, during the same year, you will shed as many tears as the frog would require to swim away in. THE CANDLE TOKEN. When a large red token forms in the flame of a candle-wick, it signifies that the one who first sees it will soon receive a letter. THE STAR AUGURY. When you are out of doors on a starlit evening, and shooting stars appear, turn your face upward to the stars, and utter in a whisper the wish nearest your heart. If a star shoots while you do this, you may be sure that the wish will be fulfilled. HOW TO BE SURE OF A PARTNER AT A DANCE. When you wish to be sure of many partners at a dance or ball, let a little brother or sister, or any other person _hold a thumb for you_—that is, keep her hand closed like a fist for a quarter of an hour, holding her _thumb_ between the _fore_ and _middle finger_, while she thinks of you, and wishes you good luck. This proceeding has a wonderful effect. THE BRIDE’S OMEN. If you would have fair weather on your wedding day, you must always faithfully feed the cats. It is true it is a common error when persons think that it forebodes evil when it rains upon the bride _in her bridal dress_. This is no evil omen, but the contrary. But, above all things, let her be careful not to allow her _shoes to get wet_. If my young readers would take the trouble to read Frederika Bremer’s work called  “The House,” they would find in it a confirmation of this warning. TO KNOW IF A WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HAVE A GIRL OR BOY. Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the month she conceived with child, and likewise adding all the numbers of those letters together, divide them by seven; and then, if the remainder be even, it will be a girl, if uneven, it will be a boy. THE CROW SIGN. If you wish to know how matters will go with you during the year, you must take good heed of the first _crow_ that you see in the spring. If, when you first see it, it is _flying_, it signifies that you will take a journey that will be longer or shorter, according to the distance which the bird flies before it alights. It may also signify a complete _change of abode_, perhaps by a wedding. If you first see the bird _sitting_, you will remain at home; if _cawing_, much that you do not think of will happen to you; if upon _one leg_, fortune will not smile upon you. THE RABBIT AUGURY. If, when in the open field, or upon the highroad, a _rabbit runs across your path_, it signifies that something _unpleasant_ will happen to you.
