Money
. .

Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

When you see a shooting star, if you can say, “Money before the week’s out,” three times over before it is lost to sight, you will have some money before the week is out.

If you see a man going about with his hat brim turned up behind, you may know that he has money to let. Others say it is a sign that the man likes cider.

It is a sign you are going to be rich if you tumble up-stairs.

If your eyebrows grow together, you either are rich or are going to be. You may be even surer of this coming true if your eyebrows are bushy. You notice the rich men that you know, and you’ll find that they nearly every one have bushy eyebrows that grow together.
