zero; and both his ears and his feet
will stand tolerable chance to be
frozen, on the same occasion. In love
matters, it will, in all probability, go
hard with him, should he chance to
WOO an icicle, and marry mustard
! pot. Should he happen to fail in
money matters, he will, ten to one,
be as poor as Jobs turkey, and final
ly, whether rich or poor, he win cer-
tainly die for want of breath.
FEBRUARY.
Those who are born in February
will, for the most part, never know
which side their bread is buttered,
not because they will be stone-blind
or devoid of taste, but because the
butter will be spread so thin. Many
of them Will fail 81 their own specu-
lations, and more still will speculate
upon other peoples failings. Those
who have one quaker foot will never
make good dancers, and those who
have two, in all likelihood, will not
dance at all. And every son and
daughter of them, unless they get
married or die in season, will be old
bachelors and old maids Do not be
born In this month, if you can help it.
MARCH.
Those who enter this world in
March will seldom meet with too
much either of love, friendship or
compassion. They will many q time
fall down and bump their heads in
infancy; will frequently beg in vain
for dimes, candy, gingerbread and
play things, in childhood; will have
more conceit than either knowledge
or good sense in youth, and have
cause to complain, in greater or less
degree, of the many hard rubs they
viii meet with during the rest of their
lives. They will every winter be
liable to colds and coughs, and if
they do not die of some other disease,
will be very likely to go off by a
pleurisy or consumption.
APRIL.
Those who are born in April will
presently begin to cry; and should
they live and grow up; will shed
great many tears before their life is
finished. The females, when they
have the Mysteries, will laugh and cry
in the same breath, and the males
will generally have cause enough to
weep without an onion. Many Of the
women will have elegant heads of
hair, if they do not spoil it with
combs and curling irons, and many of
the men will be in the habit of get
ting shaved. Most of the women
will get married if they can, and the
gray mare will frequently be the bet
ter horse AS for the men, some of
them will be rich, and the rest from
poor to middling.
MAY.
Those who are born in May, if they
have light hair, will very often have
blue eyes and fair complexions. Many
of the males will be nearly six feet
high, and many of the females will
be much inclined to fall in love, espe-
cially between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-five, and should they
make prudent matches, enjoy good
health, possess a good temper, have
obedient children and plenty of mo-
ney, they will be apt to lead very
comfortable life.
Those who are born i'm Jnne, and
escape disease, will be as blooming as
the rose, and will scarcely know what
pain is. They will, for the most part,
be ardent lovers-the men of good
eating and the women of fine clothes.
The men will generally be as happy as
circumstances will permit; and they
will contrive, by hook or crook, to
live out all their days. The women
will be exceedingly pleasant when
they are in good humor; and, with
very few exceptions, will live long as
they can. They will, majority of
them, get married, and leave plenty
OF heirs. Some of them will leave
estates, and some will not; and where
there is nothing left to quarrel about,
there will be the less litigation.
, JULY.
This is usually hot month to be
born in; and many of the July flow
ers will fall before they arrive at ma
turity. A great many of the men
will be fools, and great many of the
women coquettes. Those who are
married. unless they should happen
to agree, will be apt to quarrel like
cats and dogs, and those who live
and die single will never know what
it is to be married The men, when
they are provoked, will very often fly
in a passion; and the women, under
similar circumstances, will sometimes
pout so rs to spoil their beauty; and
neither males nor females will enjoy q
moments happiness until they get
fairly over their anger
