" The 31st October is all Hallow E'en, or the vigil of 

 All Saints' day, in which young people try their fortune, by 

 drawing cabbages from the ground, blindfolded. Or, burn- 

 ing nuts in the fire, etc. 



The cabbage, or kale, being large or small, straight or 

 crooked, is deemed prophetic of the size and form of the grand 

 object of their spells. If any earth adhere to the root, that is 

 tocher, or fortune; the taste of the heart of the stem, is indi- 

 cative of the natural temper and disposition. Lastly, the 

 stems are placed over the door, and the Christian name of the 

 person who first enters through the door, will be the name 

 sought for. If more than one be so affixed, it will be decided 

 according to the priority of placing the runts or stalks. 



The nuts are named, and accordingly as they burn qui- 

 etly together, or start from beside each other, the course, and 

 issue of their love will be." 



These glowing nuts are emblems true 

 Of what in human life we view; 

 The ill-matched couple fret and fume, 

 And thus, in strife themselves consume; 

 Or, from each other wildly start, 

 And with a noise for ever part. 

 But see, the happy, happy pair, 

 Of genuine love and truth sincere; 

 With mutual fondness, while they burn, 

 Still to each other kindly turn: 

 And as the vital sparks decay, 

 Together gently sink away: 

 Till life's fierce ordeal being past, 

 Their mingled ashes rest at last.
