The Witches' Dream Book; and Fortune Teller: Embracing full and correct rules of divination concerning dreams and visions, foretelling of future events, their scientific application to physiognomy, palmistry, moles, cards, &c.; together with the application and observance of talismen charms, spells and incantations.
Noe, A. H.
Dreams; Fortune-telling
That which maintains one vice, would bring up two children. And if you
wish to know the value of money, only just go and try to borrow a little;
he that goes borrowing, goes sorrowing, and, indeed, so doth he who lends
it unto such people, when he goes to try to get it back again. Pride that
dines on vanity, sups on content and often breakfasts with plenty, dines
with poverty and sups with infamy, creates envy, and hastens misfortunes;
for it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright. Creditors have generally
much better memories than debtors, who are also a kind of superstitious
set, great observers of set or appointed days and times; so that those
have but a short Lent who owe money to be paid at Easter; for expenses are
always so constant and certain, that it is much easier to build two
chimneys than to keep one in fuel. Rather go to bed supperless than rise
in debt. Always do unto others as you would wish to be done by, is the
first fundamental law of natural justice.
LEAVES OF DESTINY.
_Directions for Consulting the Sibyl._--Draw for a number from slips
numbered from 1 to 100, and see corresponding number in Leaves of Destiny;
or, simply call out numbers selected.
1. You’ll meet this year on Brighton Strand,
One destined for your heart and hand.
2. Choose one--if you are shrewd,
No safety lies in multitude.
3. Endless flirtation
Doth seem your vocation.
4. Bracing air and embracing arms,
Give Coney Island especial charms.
5. Young or old? Love or gold?
Hot or cold? Given or sold?
Toss odd or even--you’ll be told.
6. Some natures change on the change of name
But like the rose you’ll be the same.
7. For music and balls,
You’ll have nursery squalls.
8. The right one cometh from New York,
With heart and purse as light as cork.
9. Away with pride and cold disdain,
Or you’ll too long a maid remain.
10. Don’t have for motto, “Both best,”
But--“Choose one, look at the rest.”
11. ’Tis simply true, tho’ you may laugh,
That you will worship a golden calf.
12. This year a lover will with pride,
Watch thee sporting in the tide.
13. At Ocean Grove you’ll forsake worldly notions,
Drink nothing but tea and attend your devotions.
14. A heart and fortune you will gain,
In this summer’s grand campaign.
15. Before you go too far,
Be sure there’s not another side
The brighter side to mar.
16. A life both long and wisely spent,
With children to your heart’s content.
17. Happy when single, but not content,
You’ll marry in haste and soon repent.
18. Lovers and books romantic--
Music of the grand Atlantic--
This year will make you nearly frantic.
19. The “Mighty Dollar” cannot buy
The love for which in vain you sigh.
