flowers in a white handkerchief, and lay it under your head, on the pillow, when you go to rest, and, before morning, you will see your fate as clear as if you had your nativity cast by the first Astrologer in the king- dom ; not only in respect to love, lovers, or marriage, but in the other most important affairs of your life; storms, in this dream, foretel great trouble ; and graves or church-yards are fatal tokens, and so is climbing steep and dangerous places.
LOVE LETTERS.
On receiving a Love Letter that has any particular declaration in it, lay it wide open; then fold it in nine folds, pin it next your heart, and thus wear it till bed- time ; then place it in your left hand glove, and lay it under your head. If you dream of gold, diamonds, or any costly gems, your lover is true, and means what he says, if of white linen, you will lose him by death ; and if of flowers, he will prove false. If you dream of his- saluting you, he is at present false, and means not what he professes, but only to draw you into a snare.
TO KNOW WHAT FORTUNE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND WILL HAVE.
Take a walnut, a hazle nut, and nutmeg ; grate them together, and mix them with butter and sugar, and make them up into small pills, of which exactly nine must be taken on going to bed ; and according to her dreams, so will be the state of the person she will marry. If a gentleman, of riches; if a clergyman, of whit* linen ; if a lawyer, of darkness ; if a tradesman, of odd noises and tumults; if a soldier or sailor, of thunder and lightning ; if a servant, of rain.THE END
