unil lives to he a hundred years old, ss ill
see many ;
i cold day , and meet with ma-
ny a heart equally as cold. His nose ,
unless we ll protected with fur or sonn
othe r warm comnioiliiy, will In come as
bluo ns a red potatoe every iiine he ven-
tures to face a north easier ,when the mer-
cury is below zero ; and bolh his ears
and his feet will stand a 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 many a mustard put." Should
he happen to fail in money matters , he
will,ten to one, be as poor as Job's lur-
kies ; and finally, whether rich or poor ,
he will die for want of breath.
February.— Ihose who are born in
February, will ,for tin1 most part, never
kno w which .side their hrrad is buttered
— not because they will be stone blind
or devoid of taste—but because the but-
ler will be spread so thin. .Many ol
them will fail in their own speculations ;
and mine still will speculate upon iheii
people's failings. Those who have one
Quaker fool, will never make pood dan-
cers ; and those who have two , in all
likelihood, will not dance at all. And
every son and daug hte r 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 hel p it.
March.— Ihose who enter the world
in March ,will seldom meet with too much
either of love ,frindship or compassion.
They will many » time fall down and
bump their heads in infancy ; will fie.
quentl v beg in vain for coppers , ginger-
brea d,and playthings in childhood ; will
have more conceit , than either knowl-
edge or pood sense, in youth ; an d have
Cau se to comp lain , in a L'reater or less de-
gree of the iiishiv h.nii rubs ilu-v veil!
meet svi'.h duiinirilie rest nf th'-ir lives.
They will every winter |)( . liable to mid*
and coii'jhs ; and if tin y do not die ol
Some other disease , will be likely to go
off by a I li'iirisv <>r consumption.
April.— Ihose who are born in A pri l, j
will presently beji n t i cry ; and , shoul d i
they live and prow up, w ill shed a (/real
many tears before tlu-ir life is finished.—
The females,when they have the hysler-
ict f will laug h and cry in the same breath
—and the males will generall y have cause
enough to weep without an onion . Ma-

May.—Those who nre born in May, if
they have l
ight 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 possess a
beautifulshape,if they do not spoil it by
dress. Both male and female will be
much inclined to t ill in l o s e , r »pe c i . i l l v
