How to Tell Fortunes - Containing Napoleon's Oraculum, and the Key to Work It, Also Tells Fortunes by Cards, Lucky and unlucky days, Signs and omens. In telling Fortunes by Cards-as in all games in which they are employed-the Ace ranks highest in value. Then comes the King, followed by the Queen, Knave, Ten, Nine, Eight, and Seven; these being generally the only cards used. The order, and comparative value of the different suits, is as follows: -First on the list stand "Clubs," as they mostly portend happiness; and-no matter how numerous, or how accompanied-are rarely or never of bad augury. Next come "Hearts," which usually signify joy, liberality, or good temper; "Diamonds," on the contrary, denote delay, quarrels, and annoyance; and "Spades"-the worst suit of all-grief, sickness, and loss of money. We are of course speaking generally, as, in many cases, the position of cards entirely changes their signification; their individual and relative meaning being often widely different. Thus, for example, the King of Hearts, the Nine of Hearts, and the Nine of Clubs, respectively signify, a liberal man, joy, and success in love, but change their position, by placing the King between the two nines, and you would read that a man, then rich and happy, would be ere long consigned to a prison!
