OF THE TWELVE MONTHS._The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

_For the Table Book._

It is a Polish superstition, that each month has a particular gem

attached to it, which governs it, and is supposed to influence the

destiny of persons born in that month; it is therefore customary among

friends, and lovers particularly, to present each other, on their natal

day, with some trinket containing their tutelary gem, accompanied with

its appropriate wish; this kind fate, or perhaps kinder fancy, generally

contrives to realize according to their expectations.
