CHRISTMAS SPELL.

Steep mistletoe berries, to the number of nine, in a mixture of ale, wine,

vinegar and honey; take them on going to bed, and you will dream of your

future lot. A storm in this dream is very bad; it is most likely you will

then marry a sailor, who will suffer shipwreck at sea; but to see either

sun, moon or stars, is an excellent presage; so are flowers; but a coffin

is an index of a disappointment in love.
