made on the sixth day will be long of being fulfilled. On
this day people ought to take good heed to their ways, for on it they
are very liable to err. The parents of children born at this time had
better nurse the little ones tenderly, for nothing but scrupulous
attention will sustain them through the dangers of youth. Dreams of
the seventh day of the moon must not be revealed. Long life is
promised to the child born this day; and if a person be stricken with
sickness on it, a speedy cure will be effected. Tricksters and all
sorts of dishonest people will be disappointed on the eighth, ninth,
and tenth days of the moon; and children born on any of these days
will be blessed with long life and health, if they escape certain
contingencies known to the wise. The child born on the eleventh day
will go far from home, and may expect to die in a foreign country,
unless he make a fortune and return home, or have an estate left him.

The child born on the twelfth day of the moon will be wise and
long-lived; but the infant born on the following day will be of slow
understanding--in fact, will be a stupid creature, unless the
disadvantage can be overcome by hard study. Children born on the
fourteenth will excel in everything they may apply their minds to, or
which they may take in hand. Every girl who comes into the world on
the fifteenth will be beautiful, and have many admirers. Those born on
the sixteenth day may expect to have many enemies; and those who are
born on the seventeenth day are not likely to become rich by their own
industry, but they may look for money from rich friends. The man-child
born on the eighteenth day of the moon is likely to rise to honour and
distinction, after encountering much opposition in his upward career.
He or she born on the nineteenth day will require to pray for grace to
subdue the natural disposition. The individual born that day will be
churlish, perverse, and combative; and the infant who first draws the
breath of life on the following day will be covetous and parsimonious.

The infant born on the twenty-first day of the moon may possess a
strong constitution, but it is not certain that the mind will be
vigorous. If the child of the twenty-second day survive infancy, long
life will be awarded it, though much grief will be met with in life's
rough path. Fair promises, with certain drawbacks, are made to
children of the twenty-third day; and infants of the twenty-fourth day
will be good-t
