- (continued from previous page)The father of a child should never bring a pup to the house or if he would the child would be dumb 18/ You should never throw out the ashes at night or go to the well. 19/ If you saw the moon through glass[?] you would have misfortune and if you saw and you out in the open you would get any wish you like. 20/ What ever ear you hear the cuckoo in if you look under your foot in the same side you are supposed to get a hair there if the hair is grey you will live to be old and if it is black you will die young.
21/ If you come into a house where the churn is making you should give the churn a twist. 22/ If you turned any wearable in side out in the morning without you knowing it you would luck. 23/ If some one stuck a darning nedle in your coat on you going palying cards you would win a lot of money. 24/ If you meet a man riding a horse in the night time it is a forerunner of death.
Magpies are supposed to be very superitious birds and the following verse tells us so.
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a wedding
Four to die
Five for silver
Six for Gold
Seven for a secret that will never be told.- Collector
