Vi KEY TO FORTUNE-TELLER. 
The Violet, found in the catalogue of Blue flow¬ 
ers, will unfold the state of his “ love matters” as 
follows: 
“ You are now sailed into the north of my lady’s 
opinion; where you will hang like an icicle on a 
Dutchman’s heard,-—unless you do redeem it by 
some laudable attempt.” Shakspeare. 
The Foxglove will thus declare his worldly con¬ 
dition : 
“ Poor, but content, is rich, and rich enough.” 
Shakspeare. 
To learn the scene of his future abode he will con¬ 
sult the Marigold. 
“ A cottage on a plot of ground, ' 
With large prospect north and south.” 
Wordsworth. 
The Rose jvill reveal to him the character of his v 
wife : 
“ A woman in her freshest age, 
Of wondrous beauty and of bounty rare, , 
Full of great love.” Spenser. 
By different combinations of flowers, a great 
variety of fates may be unfolded. Nor is the pur¬ 
pose of the game wholly confined to the reading of 
fortunes. Any gentleman wishing to compliment 
a lady, may do it in a very delicate and poetical 
mannei', by selecting a bouquet of flowers that shall 
express the good fortune he wishes her. 
The first paragraph upon each page is for the 
Lady, the second for the Gentleman.
