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
53. Cheer up! cheer up! I plainly see
Bright golden days in store for thee.
54. You’ll go back when the weather cools,
To taffy-pulling and singing schools.
55. Like the flow and ebb of tide
Your spirits rise and soon subside.
56. Bright visions rise as this year falls,
Of concerts, theatres and balls.
57. At Saratoga’s famous Springs
An era bright for you begins.
58. Sing when you’re sad
And soon you’ll feel glad.
59. When summer’s heat and sport are o’er
In Florida you’ll seek for more.
60. Avoid all that sin and cruel temptation
Which assail young folk in the summer vacation.
61. You’re building castles in the air,
To end in grief and dark despair.
62. On Sea Girt Beach entranced you’ll be
By charms more rare than scenery.
63. Sunflower, lily and daffodil
An empty purse will never fill.
64. Blue and white your sole delight,
Yellow and black are put to flight.
65. You lack the courage to say “No,”
Hence all your troubles here below.
66. Lawn Tennis is the pastime sweet
Where a life partner you will meet.
67. Enjoy the sunshine while you may--
Too soon the chance will pass away.
68. Avoid whate’er your spirit vexes--
Despise “old women” of both sexes.
69. Smiles and tears, hopes and fears,
The rainbow hues of early years.
70. Sweet and bright as the month of May,
Your life shall seem a holiday.
71. You once extolled the “Age of Reason;”
Your mind will change this very season.
72. You prized too much, as you’ll confess,
A life of single blessedness.
73. You’ll break the heartless law of fashion,
And own at last the tender passion.
74. Like Oscar and his crew,
You are “too utterly too too.”
75. Your sole recreation--
To cause a sensation.
76. Your photo book will change this year
And former fav’rites disappear.
77. To keep single you’ll contrive,
Up to prudent twenty-five.
78. Your destiny is hard to fix,
Bitter and sweet so freely mix.
79. Love requited--vows well plighted!
Hearts and hands for aye united!
80. This year a treasure you’ll discover--
A brownstone house and a brimstone lover.
81. The wedding bells soon merrily
Shall ring a chime to gladden thee.
82. Sighing and dying, and wretchedly trying
To look well pleased when you’d like to be crying.
83. When you go out to sea to fish,
You’ll catch the very thing you wish.
84. To Asbury Park you will repair,
Where men may smoke and drink--the air.
85. You soon must solve the problem grave--
“An old man’s pet or young one’s slave?”
