MILTON.
Hon. is Morton was born on the
LIST of April-commonly known as sail
FOOLS day"-1S34, and after rectifying
his nativity, we place the time of his birth
at a very early stage of his history, about
midnight. If the above is the correct time
of birth, he was born under the Moon,
in the sign Taurus, or bull. The Moon
in Taurus describes a person rather short;
well set; of ford complexion, particular
ly about the nasal organ; expressive
mouth about meal times; broad face; bull
headed; a forehead and considerable "bOne
and siner." He is impudent; has consid-
cradle ~self-esteem; thinks he is a "perfect
type of beauty" and is a great bufoon ;
delights in "spondulicks;'' has great ac-
q~uisitiveness, and will generally get the
best end of a bargain.
The sign .Aquarius-ts wafer bearer
which rules the mental faculties, in his
case, being in conjunction with fries, the
Ram, will give him a very crafty turn
of mind, and will cause him often to car
ry water on both shoulders, and to use
many ifs and "butt's;" but, at the same
.AquGrius being nearly in square to Tau
rus, will cause him to be Of a very loving
turn of mind; especially will this be the
case should he come into possession of a
blooded bull, he would lavish upon it much
Of his attention; Pisces, being near
Taurus will cause him TO be fond of fish,
but more especially of "fsh Stories" i'll
the narration of which will be found his
main stay for popularity.
fries, the Ram, is the giver Of life in
this nativity; it being in evil aspect to
Libra, the Scale, win cause him to become
pe%cuniarily plethoric by reason of an at
tachment for a certain "old Buck" and,
when this cold Buck'' shall settle up, the
parts of Morton that will be effected most
will be his pocket; but his evil aspect in
Libra will very like cause him to keep the
balance.
The above nativity would indicate but
few children, he not being likely to be a
poor man /; but, on the other hand, indi-
Gates great luck, as the star Brainibus
totally Obscured by Canus Minor at
the time Of his birth.
Mr.. Morton has a very unfortunate
nativity; he will have occasion to make a
great many short, and some will think,
inconsistent turns in life; one of these
will occur in the year 1853, Acquarius is
in square TO Lepus and fries, he will
then make a Capitol "butt," and "Old
Buck" will, while in the ascendant, shine
on him.
He has had several very unfortunate
aspects in his nativity Of late. One oc-
ours on the 18th of Sept, 1860, that is
Juno, or Harding Plant, stationary over
the ascendant and in square to .Argo
NaUis, near .Alpheratz which will cause
him to become very hard about this time
and to use very navish arguments to gain
his point, for what object is shown by the
star .4lpheratz. He likewise had an evil
aspect in his nativity last August, that is
the Moon in opposition to the Suns place
and in square to BeHatrir, and her own
place, Secondary direetion,) and at the
present time he has BoOtes passing a
square Of Rigers place, (transit,) and
"old Buck' in great danger of a COM
plete occultation; which will cause him
(Morton) TO become very unpopular and
resort to many BeIlatrix (stump speeches
In the belly, } and Rigel a great deal, but
will boot him nothing. for, when "oId
Buck"-who blazed for a while like a
comet-gOas out like a candle, the days,
hours and minutes Of Morton's official
cycle will be numbered with the past, and
ne will be buried in his political grave,
with this inscription over him:
Here lies the man who trusted much to luck,
And often thought @Oh, how We apples SWIM
he built on sand, and pinned his faith to Buck,
And rose, and reigned and Riekored out with him
