16 Nails. To dream your nails are growing long is very good, and denotes riches, prosperity, and happiness, great success in love, a good, industri- ous husband or wife, with dutiful children,-it also foretells that you will suddenly receive a sum of money that will be of great use to you. Nightingale. To dream of this pretty warbler, is the forerunner of joyful news, great success in business, of plentiful crops, and of a sweet tem- pered lover. For a married woman to dream of a nightingale, shows that she will have children who will be great singers. Old Women. For a man to dream he is court- ing an old woman, and that she returns his love, is a very fortunate omen; it prefigures success in worldly concerns,—that he will marry a beautiful young woman, have lovely children, and be very happy. Onions. To dream of this useful vegetable de- notes a mixture of good and bad luck,--if you are eating them, you will receive some money, recover some lost or stolen things, or discover some hidden treasure; your sweetheart will be faithful, but of a cross temper,-it also denotes attack from thieves, and a failure of crops,-it shows that you will be engaged in some disagreeeble quarrel, perhaps with your own family. If you are throwing onions away, it is the forerunner of mischief and quarrels ---if you are in love, you will fall out with your sweetheart, if you are in trade, you will quarrel with your customers and servants;—if you are gathering onions, it betokens the recovery of some sick person of your family,--the receipt of some unexpected news of a joyful kind, and a speedy removal from your present situation.
