Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lost Curl: Strange Tales From Humble Life Fortune telling is not so difficult as some people imagine, for is it not true that "Feathers show how the wind blows, And straws tell how the current flows?" And is it not also true that, in some shape, we have all our straws and feathers, which give to the observing and experienced such insight into our character, as enables them to foretell, with tolerable certainty, what will befall us in after-days? For instance, I never see a man spending his money and time in a public house, but I know that man is sowing dragon´s teeth, and will have a terrible harvest; nor do I ever see a woman neglecting her own household duties to gossip with her neighbors, but I know her children are not likely to call her blessed. I never see a young lad with a cigar or short pipe in his mouth, who has turned his back on the church or the Sunday-school, and can talk about his father as the "old governor," and his mother as the "old woman," trying to make himself look big by scoffing at things serious, but I know that young man is mixing a bitter cup for somebody, but one more bitter still for himself.
