ALPACA POMATUM.
This is the pure grease of the famed Alpaca, whose silky hair is alike ad
mired for its pliancy and strength.
Specimens of the Alpaca Pomatums were exhibited at the Albert Industrial
Palace, by the Commissioners of New South Wales. The jurors gave a medal,
and pronounced it the best dressing for the hair hitherto discovered. It is
perfumed with the Australian Wattle.—Family Jars, price Is.
INK SOLVENT.
This preparation instantly removes Ink, Iron-mould and Fruit Stains, from *
all kinds of Linen, Paper, or the Skin, by merely wetting the Stains with the
Solvent. For removing Blots it is exceedingly convenient, as it obviates the
use of an erasing knife.—Is. per Bottle.
COLOGNE DENTIFRICE.
Prepared from the flowers from which Eau de Cologne is distilled. Inesti
mable for the teeth and gums. Sold in boxes, price 2s. It can be sent by post,
or obtained of any chymist or perfumer.
RIBBON OF BRUGES for Fumigation.
Draw out a piece of the • Ribbon, light it, blow out the flame, and as it
smoulders a fragrant vapour will rise into the air.—Is. per Yard, in Box.
EGG \ JULEP, or Nursery Hair Wash.
From the simplicity of its composition this Julep may be used with con
confidence, as an excellent cleanser of the Head, and promoter to the growth of
tidence,
excellenl
beautiful and silky ”air.—Half-pints, Is. 64.

�PREFACE
Again the returning Sun reminds me that it is time to begin
the “copy” for this Almanac. At th§ same time I have to thanl
my numerous friends for their extensive support of my efforts to
maintain Truth and to crush the folly of mankind. The great sale
of over 92,000 copies evinces the vast interest felt in Astrology, and
puts down for ever the absurd attempts to conceal those doctrinewhich were maintained by the great and good King David , who ex
claimed, in the 103rdT’salm, “Bless ye the Lard (Jehovah), all y<
his hosts, ye ministers of his that do his pleasure.”
Not a day goes by without furnishing freely evidence of the powe:
of the stars. Only now do I read of the assassination of th;
Governor General of India, who was stabbed twice in the back o:
the Sth of February this year, 1872. I turn to the Ephemeris fo
1822, on the 21st February, at which time he was born; and, lo!
find the Moon at noon that day in r« 28° 19', and the evil Mars i:
close opposition to her, from <7b 29° 14, in which sign, as all astrologer,
know, he rules the back. Hence was he stabbed in that part of tin
*
body.
But there was no kind of fatality in the matter. Had In
been educated aright, had he understood the fundamentals of astro
logy, he might, and. no doubt would, have escaped the fatal blow; fo
he would never have ventured into India, when a large solar eclips
was pending, on the 22nd December, 1870 ; with the Sun, Moon
Saturn and Venus all joined on the place of the malefic Uranus, i
his nativity and in the ruling sign of India !
ZADKIEL, TAO SZE.
* So was II.R.H. Prince Alfred—born with the evil Mais in Leo squarin
the Moon (6th August, 1844), and he also was shot in the hack.

2 4 18 1 17 canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth I ”
1 4 20 2 3 —Job 38, v. 33. None but the well-read astrologer
0 4 21 2 47 may hope to do these things; and even then but
59 4 23 3 28 with much imperfection. The benefic Jupiter has
58 4 24 4 9 left the ruling sign of France, for a time, and that
is
cruel
; whence
57 4 26 4 50 land be left to thesundrymischief of Uranusand many
may
expected
deeds of violence
56 4 28 5 31 miseries therein. On the 16th Jupiter will again re
55 4 30 6 15 trograde into Leo, and remain there until July next,
53 4 3L 7 3 which will give France peace, except in April, when
52 4 33 7 55 the opposition of Saturn and Uranus will stir up
51 4 35 8 52 much strife and some bloodshed in that land. Saturn
still rules strong
49 4 36 9 55 on India, Mexicoin Capricorn, and brings many-griefs
and Greece, &c. These willbe re
48 4 38 11 0 markable on and near the 30th day; when Mercury
47 4 40 Oa 5 joins Saturn. The 7th is an evil day for all born on
45 4 42 1 7 the 13th and 14th of January, or on the 15th and
41 4 44 2 4 16th of July, in any year. The whole month prospers

17 7 12 5 17 3 29 other evils, arising from violence ; which is his chief

19 7 85 20 4 57 the 6th day. Jupiter retrogrades in Leo ; and therein
20 7 65 22 5 46 he mitigates the troubles of France, arising from the
the
21 7 45 24 6 39 mischievous propensities ofword French people; with
whom almost every hasty
engenders revenge ;
22 7 25 26 7 37 which renders them the least truly Christian people

Jupiter still retrogrades in the last face of Leo;
12 6 23 5 57 11 26 and therein brings a more settled state of things
13 6 20 5 59 mo rn. among the fickle-minded men of France. Saturn
14 6 18 6 1 0 7 steals on, and euters the sign Aquarius on the 13th.
15 6 16 6 2 0 48 He therein speedily meets the opposition of Uranus,
E 6 14 6 4 1 29 and Arabia, Russia, Prussia, Hamburg, &c., will
suffer from storms and political excitement. France
17 6 11 6 6 2 11 also will witness plots and sudden outbreaks of popu
18 6 9 6 7 2 55 lar indignation against the ruler. The passage of
19 6 7 6 9 3 42 Saturn over the M. C. of a lady of high distinction
20 6 5 6 11 4 33 will bring her trouble ; i ct as she has the Moon rapt
21 6 2 6 12 5 29 par. Jupiter 53° 51' now operating, no very serious
22 6 0 6 14 6 28 matter may be feared. Mars is stationary iu 15° 17'
22nd day ; which indicates earth
E 5 58 6 16 7 29 of Scorpio on themischiefs abounding; the more so as
quakes and other
24 5 55 6 17 8 30 the Sun, that day, aspects the evil Uranus; hence
25 5 53 6 19 9 29 sudden, unexpected and cruel will be the conse
26 5 51 6 21 10 25 quences. Let all born on the 8th or 9th of November,
27 5 49 6 23 11 18 any year, be on their guard, to avoid ill health, rup
and other
28 5 46 6 24 0 a. 9 tures, of August injuries. All born from the 14tli to

will now flourish, and enjoy good
29 5 44 6 26 1 0 health. Those born on or near the 21st of January
E 5 42 6 27 1 50 will suffer from colds and weakness in the legs.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS—April, 1873.
The month begins quietly. 3rd, showers; 4th,
fair blue sky, and white clouds; 6th, wind and
moisture prevail; 8th and 9th, turbulent, stormy
weather; 10th and 11th, warm air, fair and summerlike ; 13th and 14th, wet prevails, growing weather;
16th and 17th, mild and fair generally; 19th to 21st,
unsettled; 22nd, cold, wet and windy; 24th and
25th, fair and warm; 27th, heat, lightning, rain at
night, fine growing weather, generally, to the end.
—A fair month; very pleasant on Good Friday.
Warm air prevails, except on the 21,st and ‘ ind.
F
The thermometer above the average.
VOICE OF THE STARS—April, 1873.
The opposition of Saturn and Uranus this month
is one of the chief astrological features of the year. It
happens but very rarely. There was an opposition,how
ever, in January, 1829, very near the place of this phe
nomenon. The chief effects will fall on France.
It will be well if the rulers of France do not quar
rel with those of Russia. The opposition of these
malefics falling on the birthday of the King of Den
mark brings to pass a serious trouble to that monarch ;
nor will his neighbour in Belgium be much better off
in this respect. The retrograde march of Jupiter in
Leo will defend France from much bloodshed ; and
this position will greatly benefit all born on or near
the 14th August, in any year. But those born on
the 22nd January and the 24th July will feel the
power of these opposing malefics, and lose relations,
and suffer much trouble by old persons, landlords,
farmers, and other saturnine persons about the 8th of
this month more especially. Venus in Taurus keeps
things tolerably peaceable in Ireland; especially
near the middle of this month.

VOICE OF THE STARS—May, 1873.
On the 10th and 11th, Mars will form an evil
aspect with Saturn and Uranus ; this denotes violent
explosions in mines, and numerous deaths thereby.
In France there will be, when Saturn eomes to
opposition of Uranus, on the 22nd, military riots
and outbreaks, with their usual attendants, deeds of
blood and violence. Jupiter, being in the ruling
sign of France, will mitigate these evils, as we may
hope. On the 3rd the King of Sweden has the
Moon joined with Uranus, and opposed by Saturn,
on his birthday. For him we can only expect a year
of troubles, which will arise from acts of violence in
his country. On the 24th we are glad to see the
Moon joined with Venus; which imports a year of
health, peace and pleasure to all born that day;
and this denotes gain and wealth to Old England.
Let all born at the time the Sun’s place is afflicted
by the malefics, viz,, 23rd January and 26th July,
in any year, be on their guard against sudden per
sonal troubles and accidents. They will be exceed
ingly liable thereto about the 10th and 22nd days.

VOICE OF THE STARS—Avgust, 1873.
The Emperor of Austria has an unfortunate biith- !
day, since we find Mars in square to his Sun; which !
gives him quarrels with his neighbours, and some
sudden changes in his affairs. The King of Bavaria |
has the Sun joined with Jupiter on the anniversary 1
of tbe day when he was born. This will bring him
hea th, and is good influence for his affairs genera lv.
It will render him rather more peaceful than usual.
Mars flames fiercely in Scorpio, and we may look
for news of outbreaks in Barbary, Norway, Syria,
&c. But Turkey flourishes, and Paris is peaceful.
The retrograding of Saturn in Capricorn seems to
destroy the equanimity of Greece. On the 30th day
Mars will leave Scorpio, and, entering Sagitta ius,
will soon begin to trouble Spain with violence and
bloodshed. All born from the 28th August to the
4th September will now flourish and enjoy health I
Those born on the 12th August must beware of fire, !
and take care to avoid fevers, and hurts or accidents |
to the delicate parts of the person. This transit of
Mars through Scorpio will bring mischief to the docks, j
and collisions, &e., in and near Liverpool, where
there will be many bankruptcies, and an abundance I
of fraud and knavery practised.

VOICE OF THE STARS—September, 1873.
The malefic Saturn hangs about the 26th degree of
the sign Capricorn, in which the Moon was found
when the Emperor of Germany was born. This will
bring him troubles and some sickness of a lingering
nature. But as Jupiter was on his ascendant on his
last birthday, it may be hoped it will be nothing
very serious. In fact, the terminus seems to extend
to the Sun’s conjunction with Saturn, about the 79th
year. The King of Sweden has Jupiter coming to
his ascendant; which will mitigate his normal condi
tion of grief and vexations. On the 15th day Mars
will pass the ascendant of the King of Italy. Let him
avoid dangers to his person at that time; hurts
in hunting, more especially.
He has, however,
M.C. trine Sun = 52° 48', lately gone by; and this
will bring honoursand advantages to Italy. He will
be very much given to fight and quarrel. Jupiter in
Virgo gives peace to Paris. But Mars in Sagittarius
brings Spain quarrels and bloodshed. Saturn in
Capricorn troubles Greece, Oxford, Brussels, &c.,
&c., and all born on the 4th to 10th September
flourish. Those born in mid-January suffer.

and 10th cloudy, showery and windy; 11th to 13th

VOICE OF THE STARS—October, 1873.
.Again is the evil star Saturn stationary in Capricorn.
Therein he brings all kinds of sore troubles for the
lands ruled by that sign : these are chiefly India,
Mexico, parts of Persia, about Circan, &c., Greece,
Oxford and Bulgaria. Now we know that Mexico
has been completely revolutionized since he has been
in the sign; and in India many troubles, of most
serious character, have arisen, such as the Pooka
rising ; where full twenty villages have been utterly
destroyed and 65 poor wretches have been blown
away fiom guns, to convince the people of the
paternal nature of English government. Also the
murder of the Governor General of Indiahas occurred.
In Persia a grievous famine has raged ; Bulgaria has
been the scene of very numerous grievances. Oxford
has been unlucky in many ways, and Greece only has
Either to escaped. On the 15th a conjunction of Jupiter
and Venus, in the 21st degree of Virgo, will benefit
Paris, Turkey and the West Indies, &c. Let all born
on or near the 16th January, any year, beware of
colds and troubles through old persons, buildings,
landlords, &c. Those born the 13th August will gain
in health and wealth. Those born near the middle
of June will be liable to losses and hurts the first
week of this month.

VOICE OF THE STARS—December, 1873.
On the 6th Mars opposes Uranus and on the 11th
Saturn enters Aquarius; hence we shall hear of
troubles in France; where the “ Voice of God ” has
not yet penetrated, nor the people been convinced
that Providence will punish for the national sin
of cruelty to the poor, half-naked inhabitants of
Northern Africa. The 12th is a good birthday for
John, King of Saxony, and for all born that day. The
24th is evil rather for George I, king of Greece. His
revenue will fail and he will be disturbed in his
royal seat. On the 13th Jupiter enters Libra and
brings peace and prosperity to China, Japan, &c.; see
p. 21. Mais in Aquarius disturbs Arabia, Russia and
Prussia, &c.; the more so, as the mischief-worker
Saturn has entered that sign also, and will soon begin
to shower down troubles on the peoples under its
sway. . These will take the form of earthquakes and
political disturbances. All born from the 21st to the
24th September will now be gaining and flourishing,
and will enjoy good health in general. Bat those
born from the 19th to the 22nd January must guard
against losses and family sorrows.
“God save the Queen and Royal Family.”

Explanation.—To find the time of High Water at any of the above places
for any day throughout the year:—Take out the time of High Water from the
Itatendar for the given day, and add the hours and minutes opposite the name
of the place thereto (but subtract the hours and minutes therefrom when the
name is printed in italics). If the result give an amount beyond 12 hours, take
away that quantity. If the night tide be required at any place, add together
the time of the day tide and that for the next day ; then divide the sum by 2,
and the quotient will be the exact time of the night tide.

ECLIPSES IN 1873.
There will four eclipses in 1873 ; two of the Sun and two of
the Moon.
. I. A total eclipse of the Moon, invisible at Greenwich. First
contact with the shadow at 9h 30’4m, a.m., on the 12th May.
Beginning of total phase at 10h 35-2m, a.m. Full Moon at llh 17’6m,
a.m. End of total phase at 0h 5m, p.m. ; and last contact with
the shadow at lh 9’8ra, p.m. Magnitude of the eclipse (Moon’s
diameter = 1) 1’428. The first contact occurs at 124° from the
Moon’s north limb, towards the east. The last contact 82° towards
the west. It falls in the 22 nd degree of Taurus. It will chiefly
affect the Society Islands and others near them.
II. A partial eclipse of the Sun, visible at Greenwich. Begins
at 7h 36'2m, a.m. Greatest eclipse at 8h 28Tm. New Moon at 9h
20Tm ; and the eclipse ends at 9h 23’4“. Magnitude of the
eclipse (Sun’s diameter = 1) 0’352. It falls on the 6th degree
of Gemini. It there causeth dissension among priests, hatred and
seditions ; and an inveterate hatred of the law of both God and
man. It endures lh 47m, and will, therefore, be operating
on the earth for a year and three quarters. No doubt, that being
visible in the ruling sign of London, it will produce much of its
evil effects on the great city. These will be partly physical; and
we may look for sad suffering by deaths from pestilence ; and were
it not that Jupiter is rising, I should expect the cholera to visit us.
However, as Saturn is found in Aquarius, and in the 6th house, we
may be assured that affections of the head will be very prevalent;
Jupiter being lord of the 8th house (that of death), many deaths
by disease of the heart will be recorded, especially in France ; while in
Ireland defects of the throat will abound.
III. A total eclipse of the Moon partly visible at Greenwich.
First contact with the shadow at 2h 6’2m, p.m., November the 4th.
Beginning of total phase at 3h 8m, p.m. Full Moon at 3h 48’2m. p.m.

tact with the ¡shadow at 5h 35-4“ p.m. The magnitude (Moon’s
diameter = 1) 1-419. And it falls in the 13th degree of Taurus. It
is said to be followed by the death of the queen of some region under
Taurus; and to produce a scarcity of seed and barrenness of the
earth. The Moon will rise totally eclipsed.
GENERAL PREDICTIONS.
The Sun enters Capricorn at llh 53m, a.m., 20i7i December, 1872.
The R.A. on the M.C. will be 17h 50m 30s, and we find rising in
the east X 24° 10'.
Jupiter, lord of the figure, is in Virgo, and m trine to the Sun.
Hence we say that men will be sociable and love one another;
that the “Discord,” of 1872, will in a great degree disappear, and
that they will delight in husbandry and manuring the earth ; that,
fruits shall be plentiful, but soon corrupt; yet seeds will come to
o-ood. There will be many strong southerly winds and these will do
mischief. The worst feature in this figure is Mars in the 7tli.
This indicates, according to Ramesey, “ great dissensions and enmi
ties ; and that men shall be perplexed with theft, much bloodshed,
contentions and wars.” As Mars is in the sign Libra, it is most
probable that we shall have some Chinese squabbles and quarrels.
But as Libra governs Austria also, and as the Emperor of that
country has the Suris opposition of Mars 42° 46', in January, 1873,
we may fear some evil of a martial nature in that direction. The
Moon and Jupiter both being in Virgo, and in the house of sick
ness we may anticipate much disease of the liver and consumption
in this country. Let all liable to such complaints live quietly duiing
the ensuing spring.
The Dragon’s Head in Gemini shews sickness and divers infir
mities to the grandees of the earth; who will suffer from earth
quakes and unwholesome mists; and that there will be wars and
dissensions between great and rich men and men of a middle degree.
There will also be much damage to trees by caterpillars and other
The Dragon’s Tail in Sagittarius imports the dejection of noble
and great men and their misfortunes ; and the rise of ignoble, base
fellows; and the sad condition of judges, counsellors, learned and
wise men, during the influence of this figure of the heavens.
.
On the 7th January, 1873, we find Mars in square to Saturn, being
mutually in each other’s exaltation. This denotes troubles in India
and China, as also much mischief by storms, in Greece, Mexico, and
other countries. Some warlike acts may then be expected against
the power of this country. Mars is exalted above the Moon ; whence
we foresee earthquakes, and those very violent.
Lastly, we find the Sun strong, being near the Mid-heaven, and

The ingress occurs at Washington at 2h 15m 42s, am., when £ 21°
(will be rising, and
11|° on the M.C., with the evil Mars just
inside the cusp and in square to Saturn; yet also is he in sextile
a to Mercury just rising.
!
No doubt this position of Mars will render the rulers in America
j very unpopular, for they will lay on taxes without consideration,
and the revenue in that country will be very defective. The people
if in the States shall be given to delight in astrology and all curious
arts and sciences. It may be hoped that some man of talent there
will set up an Almanac, to show forth the truths of the oldest
science in the world j and, if so, he will have good success, for
f there are but few newspapers there, the editors of which combine
Li ignorance and rancour, as they do in this old country.

The Sun is in the ascendant and in good aspect with Jupiter,

Prag°n’s Head is in the 6th house, which is a token that the

M duels and other acts of bloodshed. The Dragon’s Tail exalted above
•a| Mercury no doubt shows evil to learned and wise men.
!
i In other countries we find but few notable positions. But it may
be well to draw attention to the places where old Saturn will be on
J the M.C. at this ingress. This will be in 25 degrees of east longitude ; whence he will be then passing over Candia and Andros,
“i Paros, and other islands of the Archipelago. In and about those’

the earth ; and that they shall be fortunate in honour, and shall ’
overcome their enemies, be gracious and loving to the people, and
shall do them justice,” &c. AU this applies generally to England,
and especially to Birmingham, Leicester, and other places; for which
see page 9.
We find Jupiter on the cusp of the second house, and this shows
much prosperity to the people, the revenue, and nation in general.
The Sun in the 9th house indicates that the inclinations of the
people are generally to good ; that they shall be fortunate regarding
long journeys and voyages ; and that they shall love and delight in
the law of God and man. Mars on the cusp of the 5th house
denotes that there will be much discord in theatres, fires therein,
and dissensions among their directors, &c. But, as Venus is in the
10th and strong, we may, nevertheless, look for prosperity in exhi
bitions, and success to persons who make music their profession.
Mercury in the 10th tells us that merchants, scholars, and ingenious
men will flourish and do well, and meet many honours from the
Queen and governors. The Moon in the 5th house implies (not
withstanding the evil of Mars) that there will be plenty and merry
making through the land ; yet the Dragon’s Tail in the 5th also (
threatens many troubles through children, and that the education f
bubble will bring grief to the country. Saturn being occidental on 'r
the cusp of the 7th foreshows combustions and underground troubles,
blowing up of mines, and deaths thereby, especially on or about the à
10th of May. These evils will never cease until, by astrology, we &•
learn the time that they are imminent, and thence guard against
them.
The Dragon’s Tail in Scorpio imports many fevers and infirmities
of the breast, catarrhs, and deductions in the throat. Mercury,
exalted above the Moon, speaks of many wondrous feats performed,
and I judge that the art of aerostation will prosper, and that men will
at length prepare to begin to navigate the air ! Also Venus exalted
above the Dragon’s Head imports prosperity, pleasure, and happiness
to great men and nobles, &c.
The position of Mars at the ingress denotes much rain to prevail IJS1
in general throughout the year. And Saturn in Aquarius and, )£jj
occidental imports that violent tempests will prevail also.
The coincident Full Moon will be at 5h 44m, a.m., on the 14th [f4
March.
This figure is generally good also. The chief points therein are
Venus in the 2nd, which brings happiness and fertility of thapt
fruits of the earth. Jupiter is lord of the figure and found in Leo >30

but people will be troubled with unusual coughs, &c. Lastly, Mars
in the 8th shews that there will be many fearful and terrible sud
den deaths, chiefly by water and poison.
The figure for the Sun in Aries at Washington will be at 7h 43m49 ,
a.m., on the 20th March, 1873. On the M.C. will be 19h 36m 98 of
R.A., and, rising, will be 8 8° 30'. In the ascendant we find Venus
in Q 13° 28', opposed by Mars, in the 7th, in Scorpio 15° 16'. Now
Venus would do very much good in the United States, if free from
this sad aspect of Mars ; the which denotes public quarrels, discord
and wars ; also deceit in merchandizing, with trouble and sadness.
Jupiter is found in the 5th, whence it may be foreseen that the
population will increase rapidly. And Saturn in the tenth, being
strong and well aspected, gives honours and benefits to the people
through their men in power, &c.
Reverting again to the figure for London, and making due allowance
for the difference of longitude at Paris, we find Mercury just on the
M.C.; which implies that the governors in France will again be
changed ; yet the people will do well generally, and the national
funds will improve. True, we find Uranus in Leo and retrograde ;
and that Saturn will come to his opposition on the 8th of April.
This, no doubt, will bring on emeutes and some serious troubles in
France ; though while Jupiter is in Leo, her ruling sign, we may
hope she will escape any great or lasting mischief. On the 10th
May, however, there is a square of Mars to these two planets
(Uranus and Saturn) which will excite their evil qualities, and bring
acts of blood in France.
An Eclipse of the Sun, visible at Greenwich ; New Moon at 9h 20m
6s, a.m., on the 26th May, 1873.
At this time we have lh 36in 12s of R.A. on the Mid-heaven, and
of 14° 0' of Leo rising. We find the eclipse in U 5° 8', and we perceive
that Jupiter is rising in
23° 41'. On the cusp of the 4th is Mars ;
Saturn and Uranus are in elose opposition, from St an(^
placed
in the 6th and 12th houses. This figure is more good than evil;
vet not free from malice ; which will show itself in a great measure
in France, and will not allow London to escape scot free ; nor,
indeed, Lombardy, Belgium, &c. The sun eclipsed, in the first face
of Gemini, causeth dissension among priests ; and inveterate hatred
and seditions. It also brings a tendency to outrageous diseases;
but these latter evils, the benefic Jupiter, rising, will overcome.
Yet Mercury in aspect to Jupiter, and ruling the eclipse, will give
much thunder and lightning, as also some pernicious winds,
with opening of the earth and earthquakes.
A total Eclipse of the Moon, at 3h 48m 23,

12 20'; and she rises totally eclipsed; yet the eclipse is only
partial, in reality, tons in London, in one sense. An eclipse of the
Moon in the second face of Taurus denotes the death of the Queen
of some region under Taurus, and a scarcity of seeds and
barrenness of the earth. This eclipse is ruled by Venus, she being
in Libra. She denotes, as does Jupiter, success and happiness in
most things ; and particularly she causes venereal sports, honour,
fame, joy, &c., happy marriages, abundance of children and felicity
in all things belonging to matrimony. We find Venus, ruler of this
eclipse, in Libra and in close square to Mars ; this shews that
countries (for which see p. 21) will be suffering from violence and
martial acts. Herein we find Mars in Capricorn near the Mid-heaven
and in aspect to the eclipse. This is said to threaten the ruler of
Rome with being stabbed ; but there would require many other
testimonies before I should venture to predict positively such an
event. However, Mars will spend his malice on our rulers ; and
they will be evilly affected towards the people, and act with much
tyranny for some weeks to come. Lie is said to cause wars, tribu
lation and slaughter to young men, when found in such a situation.
The Dragon’s Head in Taurus shews the slaughter of nobles and
great men in the northern parts (say, Ireland), and, in the western,
controversies and dissension between noblemen and the plebeians.
The Dragon’s Tail in Scorpio denotes many fevers and chest diseases
among men, chiefly in Ireland.
Here we find Mars exalted above the Moon ; and this I have fre
quently found to denote earthquakes, and those very violent; also
above the Sun, kings and rulers will go near to be slain treacherously.
The most probable period for these fearful phenomena will be the
19th November and the 9th December. The Moon exalted above the
Dragon’s Head shews damage to rivers and fountains, springs, &c.
THE FACTS AND THE FALLACIES OF “ SCIENCE.”
We know of no man who merits to be accepted as the mouth
piece of science, so much as Sir John Lubbock, Bart, M.P., &c., &c.
He is intelligent and very industrious; and we hope religious. He has
recently given to the world a very clever book, called “ The Origin
of Civilization.” It is cram-full of what he calls “ facts,” in refer
ence to this subject; but what are, many of them, at least, merely
opinions. And he winds up his work by some remarks, that ve
shall give our readers, for purposes that they will presently
perceive.
At page 253 he speaks thus of the Mandingoes, whom of course,
he classes among savages: “They regard the Deity as so remote,
and of so exalted a nature, that it is idle to imagine the feeble
supplications of wretched mortals can reverse the decrees and

charge the purposes of Unerring Wisdom.” They seem, however, to
Have little confidence in their own views, and generally assured
*
Park, in answer to his enquiries about religion and the immortality
of the soul, that no man knows anything about it. Now in this
matter it seems to us that the Mandingoes were perfectly right;
for on such subjects, certainly no man does know anything about
it, until he be enlightened by Revelation.
At page 255 Sir John goes on to favour us with some of his own
ideas ; that is, of his scientific notions. He says, “We know that
a belief in witchcraft was all but universal until recently, even in
OUT own country. This dark superstition has, indeed, flourished for
centuries in Christian countries, and has only been expelled at
length by the light of science. It still survives wherever science has
act penetrated.”
Therefore we see that it is not Christianity, according to Sir John
Lubbock, that helps us to destroy a belief in witchcraft; but only
science, of which one of the latest escapades has been to persuade
us that the “ origin of life ” on this earth is not due to the power
of Him who said, “ Let light be, and light was but it came here
by means of an aerolite, that chance threw upon us, wrapped in
grass and containing a Bug !t
Now we have but little respect for these men of science. We find
that they are quite indifferent to facts, though they pretend to
found their science altogether upon facts observed and well known.
Will any of them, from Sir John Lubbock at the head of them,
to the merest scribbler in the Daily News, who writes at a penny a
line, at the tail, venture to tell us, without a blush for the falsehood,
that they know by their own experience, that there really is not,
and never was, such a thing as witchcraft ? Will they, in defiance
of the Mosaical law against its practice, and in contradiction to the
assertions of the New Testament; will they, we demand to know,
dare to come forward and assert in the face of society, that there is
no such thing really existing as witchcraft, and that there never
was any such thing really practised ?
We go entirely with them, as to the evil, the tremendous evil, of
its practice ; but we will not go one inch on the road to deny the
* Park’s Travels, vol. i, page 67.
+ Pity it is that Sir John never defines what he means exactly by “ Science.”
Bat Mr. G. H. Lewes, another great authority in the scientific world, does
favour us with a definition. He says that “ Science is the systematic co-ordinatioa of the facts of co-existence and succession.”—Page 76 of Aristotle, by G.
Lewes. Well, let us substitute this definition for Sir John’s “Science;”
aad then we read that witchcraft has been “ expelled, at length, by the light of
the qjfstematic co-ordination of the facts of co-existence and succession.” We
hop® that this will become as clear to our scientific readers as mud in a wine
glass.

truth of its existence, largely in former days, and certainly still to a
considerable extent, even “ in our own country.” Does Sir John
Lubbock imagine that those people who profess to practise the
abominable rites of witchcraft, will come to him to explain them,
or will ask his opinion about them ? Let him know that they court
not publicity, they seek not to be known, they invite not the power
of the law to punish them for their deeds. No; such men as they
are, who fear not the evil spirits they dare to associate with, may
still fear the trouble they would fall into if their practices were
made public. Let Sir John Lubbock begin to write an Astrological
Almanac, and he will soon find, if he shew that he knows much
about the matter, that men, and women too, will pester him, as
they do us, for information that may be and has been of use in
their diabolical rites and ceremonies. He will soon find also that
it is not the false glare of science that has checked this unchristian
practice ; but that the mild light of religion alone has enabled some
of those men who have fallen into the temptation to practise such
evils, to abandon them for ever.
Let Sir John Lubbock use his interest in the national schools to
have the truth taught. Let the growing generation learn that there
is no greater sin, before God, than is this dealing with Evil Spirits ;
which constitutes the very essence of that Witchcraft of which Sir
John Lubbock ignorantly denies the existence, but of which there
is far too much evidence existing—when rightly sought for—and
too much evil arising therefrom, to be put down and destroyed
by a mere man of science, forsooth, making a pretence to deny.
Sir John goes on to say, “The immense service which ‘science’
has thus rendered to the cause of religion and of humanity, has
not hitherto received the recognition it deserves.” And he observes
farther, that “ If we consider the various aspects of Christianity, as
understood by different nations, we can hardly fail to perceive that
the dignity, and, therefore, the truth, of their religious beliefs, is in
direct relation to the knowledge of science and of the great physical
laws by which our universe is governed.”*
Our ideas of the foundation of true Christianity have hitherto
been, and still are, notwithstanding this flourish of the man of
science, that it is really the pure gift of God; in other words, the
grace of God, that creates the true Christian, and that when th®
Saviour chose the poor ignorant fisherman, St. Peter, and others
of his disciples, to spread abroad his religion, they were certainly
* Of these physical laws of our universe, we heg leave to hint to Sir John
Lubbock that he and most other scientific men are deplorably ignorant. The
great fact is now becoming known, that all the ideas of Newton as to the vast
size of the sun, its distance, the motion of the earth around it, and all the
consequences of these mistaken ideas, are merely dreams, and are totally desti
tute of one iota of truth and reality.

not chosen for any scientific knowledge or acquirements. Away then,
for ever, with these fallacies, and down with this false and foolish
teaching!
It is precisely the same thing when these pretended scientific
men have to do with the question of the truth and reality of the
old astrology. They are, one and all, utterly ignorant of even its
first elements. Yet they set themselves up as judges, and do not
hesitate to condemn it, notwithstanding the proverb, Ne damnent
quae non intelligunt. Ask one of them if he ever tried it, and he
answers, “No, indeed, but—I—am—quite persuaded—that—it—is
—false.”. And this in the face of thousands upon thousands who
have tried it and found it to be true. He expects that a scoff, or
a jeer, will be taken as evidence, where he might find real and
decided evidence of its fallacy, if such were existing Ask him to
erect a figure, or map, of the heavens, and he stands aghast. Yet
can he have the impudence to laugh at what others, better men
than he is, have bowed their head to, in acknowledgment of its
absolute truth. And these are the men who try their best to put
down astrology by infamous laws; that treat its practitioners as
fraudulent men ; yet are those practitioners cognisant of the truth
of what they profess. And this in the 19th century, when we are
told that mankind are ruled by “ science ” and by reason; which
is a plain falsehood, and will be such, while those laws exist.
Why is all this ? Just because of the infidelity of these scientific
men, who see clearly that while astrology exists, the belief in spi
ritual existence, and the intercourse with angelic beings, must and
will exist also ; and this drives these men mad; for in vain do they
hope that the end of a man is as the end of a brute. This feeling
it is that leads these very clea/r-headed “ scientific” men to scoff at
astrology, or the doctrine that the stars, or hosts of heaven, have
anything to do with the characters, or the destinies, of man, or that
they are, in fact, “the ministers of Jehovah, that do his pleasure.”
See Psalm ciii, v. 21. “Bless ye the Lord (Jehovah), all ye his hosts,
y® ministers of his, that do his pleasure.” These sceptics are the
leading men of science in our day; but let us ask, “In what they are
one whit superior to the great men of olden times, whose names
have come down to us, as believers in, and practitioners of astrology?” We will here set forth some of these truly great and good
m®n; none of whom were of the narrow-minded class of men, who
/pretend to judge and condemn what they have never yet examined.

But, as has been said, it can serve no good purpose to set forth
more names, since no other science than astrology can offer among
its upholders such a list of never-dying men. If these names do
not affect and shame the men of our day, then are they wilfully deaf
to reason and argument, and obstinately shut out the light of
heaven, lest it should irradiate their understanding and convince
them that they are but men of low and humble conceptions, in no
shape qualified to determine the pathless ways of God, or to mea
sure the extent of His omnipotence.

Came helter-skelter hither—none know how!
And shall the sane man to this doctrine bow ?
Shall this be taught, and none have any sense
To scout the base idea, and hold for Providence ?
’Tis ours to teach another law, and hold
That all, ay all, from where the Lion bold,
In Afric’s hot domain, stalks dominant,
Or the huge Elephant, down even to the Ant,
J
Or to the trifling Sparrow, numerous,
Obey one only law, as congruous,
They do their Maker’s will—to live or die.
His hand, seen everywhere, can all supply:
’Tis he alone gives all they have to all his foes,
And rescues those He loves from all their woes.
He is the deep, Inscrutable ! the MIGHTY GOD !
Untold in numbers, Demons fear his rod,
And tremble when He frowns ! Suns are no more,
No longer heard the dread Volcano’s roar;
Earth fades to nothing ; all Creation fails ;
If He but speak the word, e’en Heaven quails !
And all reverts to Darkness, dead, original;
As ere the Light came forth when He did call:
So great, unspeakable is Cabud Al*
’’
He is the Great To Pan—the First, the Last;
The Vast Unknown ; who governed all the Past,
And all the Future knows. Himself unseen,
In one vast hidden space, has ever been;
Unknown to all, e’en angels, who bow down,
And cast before His feet their brightest crown.
From thence He spake, and forthwith sprang the Light;
Th® Sun assumed his form—the Moon came into sight.
Thence He commands, and Earthquakes shake the Land;
Thence calls the Hurricane—Lightnings from His hand
* Cabud Al—the glory, might, or majesty of God!
And mn'
Cabto Jehovah, the Glory of Jehovah!

Fly swiftly o’er the sea ; and dire disease
Sweeps man from off the earth. So, when he please,
The sea may be no more, and barren be the land,
As when wild tempests strike the rock-bound strand.
He gives invention to the mind, and love of kind ;
Courage to the brave, and patience to the hind ;
Beauty to the maid, and wisdom to the head ;
And teaches each man how to gain his bread.
Yes ; all things, or none, arise from Providence ;
To idle Chance, then, let us all cry, “ Hence 1”
If all things, then the works of nature still obey,
And do His will—the moon by night, the sun by day.
And all the powers of all the stars exclaim,
And speak the wonders of His glorious Name !
From the cold point, ycleped “ the Cynosure,”
To where Orion’s lambent light and pure,
Embraces Procyon’s brilliant flame ;
And many a star, of unestablished name,
Pales its bright fire, when Sirius bursts to sight;
Down where the Southern Cross illumes the night.
See the fair victim of old Neptune’s ire,
Andromeda—see Menkar, and see Algol’s fire,
With red Aldebaran, light Capella on her way ;
Where Castor and where Pollux hold their sway.
Next glitters o’er the main, bright Rigel far,
In southern sky ; and in the north Auriga’s star.
Then see the Lion all his treasures hold ;
See Prsecepe and Regulus the bold,
Put forth their powers. See beauteous Spica shew
In Virgo ; and Arcturus, all in Libra’s row.
Next comes the bold Centaur, in Scorpio seen,
Where Antar’s rubious light completes the scene.
These, and a thousand others, influence man ;
Who thinks, in vain, their character to scan.
As blind, he peers where wondrous comets fly,
When wars burst forth and tens of thousands die
So when Eclipses mar the light of day,
And mark o’er man, impotent, all their sway;
Strike down the weak, and terrify the strong;
Such unknown powers to the stars belong.
Yet doth the sceptic see these move and shine,
But not perceive their Maker’s power divine !
Shall ignorant man still dare to question how
They spring and how they shine, and yet not bow,
As taught by nature—wisdom—common sense,
Before the majesty of mighty Providence ?

ON THE CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN.
Nearly the oldest observer of the national characteristics of the
sundry people of the world, is undoubtedly Claudius Ptolemy. He
says of the natives of this country, that they are “ impatient of
restraint! lovers of freedom, warlike, industrious, imperious, cleanly
and high-minded” (jTetrabiblos, book 2); and he adds that “they
regard women with scorn and indifferencebut that they are still
careful of the community, brave and faithful, affectionate in their
families, and perform good and kind actions.” Yet he says that
the people of Britain, &c., “ have a greater share of familiarity with
Aries and Akars ; and the inhabitants are, accordingly, wilder, bolder
and more ferocious.”
These are the chief of Ptolemy’s notes on the people of England,
generally. He clearly places them under Mars, essentially, and
under Aries (the house of Mars), particularly. But before we
attempt to examine the truth of these statements, we will note the
words of the great Roman poet, who treats on the particular influ
ences of Aries. Of course, we allude to Manilius. He says very
truly and very beautifully, book 5 :—
“For when the world was framed, the Mighty Cause
These powers bestow’d and did enact these laws,
How signs should work, how stars agree,
And settled all things by a firm decree,”
He then describes the first important figure in the sign Aries, viz.,
the ship:—
“ And now, as victor o’er the conquered deep,
He keeps his power and still commands the ship ;
For when the Northern Rudder rears its flame,
And in the fourth degree first joins the Ram,
Whoever’s born shall be to sail inclined;
He’ll plough the ocean, and he’ll tempt the wind ;
He o’er the seas shall love or fame pursue,
And other months another Phasis view :
Fixed to the rudder, he shall boldly steer,
And pass those rocks, which Typhys us’d to fear.
Had no such births been born, Troy’s walls had stood,
No wind-bound navy bought a gale“ with blood ;
No Xerxes Persia o’er the ocean roll’d,
Dug a new sea, nor yet confin’d an old;
No Athens sunk by Syracusian shores,
Nor Lybia’s seas been chok’d with Punic oars ;
Nor had the world in doubt at Actium stood,
Nor Heaven’s great fortune floated on the flood.
Such births as these their hopes to seas resign,
Ships spread their sails, and distant nations join ;
�50
CHARACTER OF THE BRITISH.
[zadkiel’s
The world divided, mutual wants invite
To close again, and friendly ships unite?
Here we read the judgment of that great astrologer, Mamilius, |
who spoke of the men of Britain, as though he had lived after Nelson, 1
or been contemporary with Blake or Boscawen, or had had the |
advantage of fighting under a Brenton or Lord Cockrane, or any I
other of our great naval heroes. For very correctly does Ptolemy I
place Britain under the influence of Aries; and just as truly does the I
poet point out the peculiar bent, or inclinations, of the men born
with that sign rising. It is to this that England owes her naval |i
greatness ; to the natural-born courage of her sailors, joined with Jr
their free, wandering propensities. These it is that lead them to k
“ plow the ocean and to tempt the winds.” And until “ the powers p
of the Heavens shall be shaken,” shall these things produce their |i
natural results. And not until then shall Britain cease to be the fo
sovereign of the seas.
I
Let us now examine what Ptolemy says of the character of our »;
countrymen. We accord with him in all his remarks; and wefe
regret that he speaks so truly of the evil propensity of our people |i.
to treat with scorn the female sex. Have we not always, from his ki
day to our own, treated females with even worse than “indifference ?” r
Have we not allowed them to feel their supposed inferiority ? Does k
not the law render a married woman, in particular, perfectly help-|rj
less, and treat her complaints with “ scorn ? ” Is she not robbed of |q
her property and rendered miserable, too often, by the wretched
man who has got possession of her person and hei’ property by
means of a little set form of ecclesiastical jabber at the altar7
And if this injustice be avoided, is it not so, more by the husband
being “affectionate,” than by any help of the law, or by public
approbation 7 Ptolemy goes on to say that the people are “ wild,
Is
bold and ferocious.” T it not so ? Can any man deny the truth of p
this accusation 7 Does not their “ ferocity ” shew itself in a con■
tinued effort to treat offenders in the most unchristian and unfor■ K
giving spirit 7 Can it be doubted that not many years since we ip
flogged m§n to death in the army and navy; and that we go near to (¡T
do so now in our prisons 7 Not only do we practise bodily torture onk<
offenders in our prisons, but we treat women with “scorn” by the huge?
and beastly iniquities of the “Contagious Diseases ” Acts; and wer.
punish by fine and imprisonment mothers and fathers who hold ink
contempt the disgusting iniquities of the “Vaccination” Acts. Nay,h;
we are now passing a law to flog men for wife-beating; thus demon-L
strating our national character for the ill treatment of women andk.:
for brutal “ ferocity.” Moreover, we flog men for begging and «uchjic
T
acts of “vagrancy,” and our House of Commons upholds sucl p
*
“ferocious” doings, as if to shew that Ptolemy judged us right?
and by no means too severely.

I If we look at the present Government’s acts, we find that in India
owe recently put to a horrible death, by blowing them away from
sixty-five out of eighty-nine prisoners captured—a piece of
«brutal and cowardly conduct, that no man in England would dare
flio enact towards dogs. Again, in the House of Commons, on the
ilst June, 1872, we find it stated that one Joseph Townsend was
harged with being an “ incorrigible rogue,” and, was sentenced to
eceive thirty-six lashes with the cat. The Daily News, 22nd June,
\A872, informs us that hereupon “ Mr. Bruce said that the man in

of Ptolemy, that the people of Britain are “ferocious.” Of course, this
ipplies more decidedly to men who are born with Mars rising at

FREEMASONRY.
What was the meaning of the ceremonies practised in the Mys
teries, or Ancient Freemasonry ? is an enquiry that has been long
pursued, but hitherto, as is well known, without any satisfactory
result.
The Rev. Dr. Oliver (“History of Institution,’’ page 26) says,
“The mysteries were proclaimed the beginning of a new life of
reason and virtue (Cic De Heg., ii, 14), and the initiated or esoteric
companions were said to entertain the most agreeable anticipations
^respecting death and eternity (Isoc. Panegyr.); to comprehend all
the hidden mysteries of nature (Clem. Strom. 5); to have their soul
restored to the state of perfection from which it had fallen, and at
their death to be elevated to the supernal mansions of the Gods.
(Plat. Phsed.) They were believed also to convey much temporal
felicity and to afford absolute security amidst the most imminent,
dangers by land or water. (Schol. in Aristoph. Iren., v, 275.) A
public odium was studiously cast on those who refused the rites.
(Warb. Div. Leg., i, p. 140.) They were considered as profane
wretches unworthy of public employment or private confidence
(Plat. Phsed.), sometimes proscribed as obdurate atheists (Lucian.
Daemon), and finally condemned to everlasting punishment. (Ori
gen, cont. Cels, 1. viii.) The mysteries professed to be a short and
certain step to universal knowledge, and to elevate the soul to
absolute perfection; but the means were shrouded under the
impenetrable veil of secrecy, sealed by oaths and penalties the
most tremendous and appalling. (Alleurs. Eleusin., c. xx.) Innu
merable ceremonies, wild and romantic, had been engrafted on
the few expressive symbols of primitive observance ; and instances
have occurred where the terrified aspirant, during the protracted
rites, has absolutely expired through excess of fear. But the
potent spell which sealed the authority of the hierophant was the
horrid custom, resorted to in times of pressing danger or calamity,
of immolating human victims. (Diod. Sic., 1. v ; Strabo, 1. iv ;
Euseb. Orat. ad Const.) The selection of victim was commonly
the prerogative of the chief hierophant. (Samones, Brit., i, p. 104.)
The most careful selection and preparation were necessary to deter
mine who were fitted for these important disclosures; and for this

[zadkikl’s
purpose they were subjected to a lengthened probation of four
years (Tertul. adv. Valentín.) before it was considered safe to
admit them into the Sanctum Sanctorum, to become depositaries
of those truths the disclosure of which might endanger not only
the institution, but also the authority of the civil magistrate.
Hence to reveal the mysteries was the highest crime a person
could commit, and was usually punished by an ignominious death,
embittered by denunciations of the hottest pains of Tartarus in
another world. (Clem. Stram.; 2. Sam.; Petit in Lege Attic., p. 33.
Si quis arcana? mysteria Cereris sacra vulgasset lege morti addicebatur.) The places of initiation were contrived with much art and
ingenuity, and the machinery with which they were fitted up was
calculated to excite every passion and affection of the mind. Thus
the hierophant could rouse the feelings of horror and alarm, light
up the fire of devotion, or excite terror and dismay; and when the
soul had attained its highest climax of apprehension, he was fur
nished with the means of soothing it to peace by phantasmagoric
visions of flowery meads, purling streams, and all the tranquil
scenery of nature in its most engaging form, accompanied with
strains of heavenly music—the figurative harmony of the spheres.
These places were indifferently a pyramid, a pagoda or a laby
rinth. The iabyrinths of Egypt, Crete, Lemnos and Italy were
equally designed for initiation into the mysteries (Fab. Cag. Idol.,
iii, p. 269), furnished with vaulted rooms, extensive wings connected
by open and spacious galleries, multitudes of secret dungeons,
subterranean passages, and vistas terminating in adyta, which were
adorned with mysterious symbols carved on the walls and pillars,
in every one of which was enfolded some philosophical or moral
truth. The pagans entertained such a very high opinion of the
mysteries that one of their best writers attributes the dissolution
of the Roman polity to their suppression. He says (Josinus, 1. ii,
p. 671), “Whilst therefore the mysteries were performed according
to the appointment of the oracle, and as they really ought to be
done, the Roman empire was safe, and they had in a manner the
whole world in subjection to them ; but the festivals having been ''
neglected from the time that Diocletian abdicated, they have
decayed and sunk into oblivion.
We shall endeavour first to ascertain the meaning of mythology.
That once determined, there is a short and easy method with the
mysteries. These were of much later origin than mythology; and
just as the mysteries that were presented four or five hundred
years ago were dramatic exhibitions ci the Scripture mythology, as
Dr. Colenso and others would term it, so the ancient mysteries
were mere dramatic presentment? fa mythology older than these
same mysteries. Of course no cne would attempt to make out the
meaning of Scripture by a study of the mysteries of the 15th
century.

sacred book of the heathen, could be deciphered, and shown to refer

but as long as these sacred books are thought to have the sanctions

To investigate, therefore, the nature of mythology is an enter

or should be the great quest: on of the day, even in this fastidiously
Ripractical nineteenth century.
Let him who subscribes his guineas to put down false religions

is a certain and peculiar and entirely original application of astro
logy, which we shall introduce as necessary and sufficient for
unravelling the mysteries of mythology.
Before however proceeding to this application, it may be satisfac
tory, though not necessary, to give prima facie reasons for believing
that mythology is astrology. Landseer observes (Sab. Res. p. 191),
“ If the secrets of the mysteries were astronomical, or were so even
in part, the same religious dread which would account for their
being so rarely, if ever, divulged, accounts also for the little that
has been directly imparted and the much that has been withheld
of ancient astronomy.
JEschylus occasionally deals in astronomical notices, blending
with them the sacred charm and elevated pathos of his poetry.
And it is known that rEschylus would have been in danger of
capital punishment for revealing the mysteries, had he not been
able to prove to the satisfaction of the Areopagus that he never was
initiated. Again, why is Herodotus so chary and so vague in his
astronomical notices, when treating of the ancient Sabean nations ?
Why so much freemasonry ? Why, in mentioning the deified
animals of Egypt, which were of astronomic reference, does he fear
to disclose the reasons of their being held sacred ? Why put off his
readers with,“ If I were to explain these reasons I should be led to
the disclosure of those holy matters which I particularly wish to
avoid, and which but from necessity I should not have discussed
at all P
In the “Io” of Plato, Socrates says, “Homer and Hesiod both
write of things that relate to divination” (Astrology is divination.)
Io—“ True.” Soc—“ Well, now, the passages in either of these
poets, relating to divination, who, think you, is capable of inter
preting with most skill and judgment, yourself or some able
diviner
Io—“ An able diviner, I must own.”
Ritter remarks on the Timseus, “ Now as the work of the created
gods possesses such power over the rational soul, the gods who
formed it—the stars—must exercise no inconsiderable influence
upon the lot of all mortal creatures. Plato accordingly believedj
that the fate of man is dependant on the complicated motions of
the stars, and that, by a due and careful contemplation of the
heavens, his future destiny may be discovered.”—Ancient Philo
sophy, p, 374.
That the planets were the real gods of the Egyptians is evident,
if, as is constantly asserted, the gods of that people were the same
as the gods of the Greeks ; “ The seven planets being, in the
words of the philosopher Albricus, the seven first gods of the
heathen, whom he arranged in this order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars,
Apollo, Venus, Mercury and the Moon.”

*Æars tertius deorum dictus est. This order is adopted, in modern
.iastrology, in the planetary arrangement of the days of the week,
¡and depends on the increase of distance and decrease of the ap.1 parent motion of those bodies.
*
i The same order (see Macrobius) is observed in the Demotic
1 tablets discovered by the Rev. H. Hobart. Wilkinson remarks,
! that “ Clemens of Alexandria, too, placed in the first class of Pagan
. deities the stars or heavenly bodies. The summary of Egyptian
theology, given by Diogenes Laertius from Manetho and Hecatæus,
is in the same spirit, which considers that matter was the first
principle, and the sun and moon the first deities of that people.”
Ritter (Indian Philosophy, p. 90), observes, “ In the more ancient
portion of the Vedas, physical religion prevails. The heavenly
bodies are worshipped as gods.”
We have the following expression in the Cratylus of Plato :—
“ The only gods are the sun, moon and stars.”
In the Timæus the gods are spoken of as revolving—“ As many as
visibly revolve.” Porphyry excelled, as Taylor observes, in all
philosophical knowledge, and was called
“the philoso
pher.” He treats the gods as visible—“ Which gods are as you now
see;” and again (ii, 37)—“To the remaining gods, therefore, to the
world, to the inerratic and erratic stars who are visible gods.”
Of these he says, (ii, 36)—“The Pythagoreans frequently implored
their aid in divination, and if they were in want of a certain thing
for the purpose of some investigation. In order, therefore, to effect
this, they made use of the gods within the heavens, both the
• “Nous avons vu que l'ordre des planètes, selon la croyance des anciens et
aussi des Egyptiens, était Saturne, Jupiter, Mars, Vénus, Mercure. Dans les
quatre tablettes dont nous nous occupons, et où les cinq p'anètes se suivent 28
fois dans le même ordre, il est à croire que cet ordre des noms sera le même
que les anciens.”
This order is said to prevail in the attributing the days of the week to the
planets, according to the order of their rule over the hours of the day; each
day bearing the name of the planet ruling its first hour, as thus : the first hour
of Saturday being dedicated to Saturn, the second to Jupiter, and so on; the
25th, or first hour of the next day, is that of the Sun, which gives its name to
the day; and so on with Monday, or Lundi, Maidi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Ven
dredi—Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The sarcophagi of the monarchs of the 18th dynasty were decorated with
representations of the Sun Mythos—the passage of the Sun through the twelve
hours of the day and those of the night. The Sun passes in a bark, always
accompanied by seven deities, who differ according to the hour, and who appear
to represent the Moon and planetary system. This forms a clue to the mythology
of the 18th and 19th dynasties.—Birch, on the Determination of the Relative
Epochs of Mummies (p. 374).
This system of “ planetary hours,” though at least as old as the 18th dynasty,
appears to be a late affection of astrology. Herbs ruled by the various planets
are gathered in the hours respectively dedicated to those planets.

erratic and non-erratic, of all of whom it is requisite to consider the
sun as the leader, but to rank the moon in the second place; and
we should conjoin with these fire (or Mars) in the third place, from
its alliance with them, according to the theologists. We must call,
therefore, the nature of the stars, and such things as we perceive
together with the stars, the visible gods.—Plato, Epinanis, p. 401.—■
I n the Timeeus the planets are called celestial beings.
The first inventors of astrology were kings, then priests, or
augurs, who derived their augury from the celestial signs. Belus,
king of Babylon, is referred to, and other kings of the Chaldeans
and Assyrians, as Zoroaster, king of the Bactrians. Among the
Egyptians no one but an astrologer was appointed priest. “ Those
who were appointed to the worship of the gods were Chaldeans,
most skilful in astrology.” (Pliny, xxx, 1; Justin., 1. 6.) “The Egyp
tians,” says Wilkinson (iv, p. 153), “predicted future events, both
relative to private occurrences and natural phenomena; for which
purpose Diodorus (i, 81) tells us they took advantage of their skill
m arithmetical calculations; this last being of the highest im
portance to them in the study of astrology. For the Egyptians
most accurately observe the order and movement of the stars,
preserving their remarks upon each for an incredible number of
years ; that study having been followed by them from the earliest
times. They most carefully note the movements, revolutions and
positions of the planets, as well as the influences possessed by each
upon the birth of animals, whether productive of good or evil.
And they frequently foretell what is about to happen to mankind
with the greatest accuracy, showing the failure and abundance of
crops, or the epidemic diseases about to befall men or cattle ; and
earthquakes, deluges, the rising of comets, and all those phenomena,
the knowledge of which appears impossible to vulgar comprehen
sions, they foresee by means of their long-continued observations.
It is indeed supposed that the Chaldeans of Babylon arrived at their
celebrity in astrology in consequence of what they derived from
the priests of Egypt. The art of predicting future events, as
practised in the Greek temples, says Herodotus (ii, 58), came from
the Egyptians'' (See Diod. Sic., ii, 31.) Each of these temples wa3
a planetarum, says Morgan (p. 57), or representation of the heavens»
The principles on which they are constructed are strictly astro
nomical. From the importance they attached to the study of astro
nomy the Druids were termed by the Greeks Saranidee (serenyddion,
from the Kymric seren, a star), astronomers. Their system of edu
cation appears to have embraced a wide range of arts and sciences.
The lowest degree of the mysteries of the Druids conveyed the
power of vaticination, in its minor divisions. Borlase (Ant. Corn.,
p. 67), says, the Eubates or Vates were of the third or lowest class ;
their name, as some think, being derived from Thada, which

Cingalese worshippers of the stars generally conceal their opinions.
Townley says the worship consists entirely of adoration to the
heavenly bodies, invoking them in consequence of the supposed
hi influence they have on the affairs of men. The priests are great
1ft astronomers, and believed to be thoroughly skilled in the power and
10 influence of the planets. (Loss, vol.ii, p. 161.)—“ The usual appellation
given by the bards to the sacred inclosure of an open temple was
11 the mundane circle ; and Faber says that the ark was called the
M circle of the world. It follows, therefore, the open circular temple
was thè representation of the ark, which was anciently denominated
fe! CJaer Gaur, or the Great Cathedral, or the Mundane Ark. (In., p. 189.)

THE RULE OF GOD OVER THE HEAVENS,
OR HEAVENLY BODIES.
’ In numerous places do we find in the Scriptures the most direct
a assertion that God rules the stars; which is often poetically mend tioned as His riding on them. Thus in the 68th Psalm, 4th verse,
V We read, “ Sing unto God, sing praises to His name ; extol Him that
A- rideth upon the heavens, by His name Jah,” And again in the 32nd
verse we find it written, “Ye kingdoms of the earth, 0 sing praises
li unto the Ruler, Selah.” Our version renders the word MTN, Adoni,
;< by the terms “ the Lord but we contend that being formed from ¡‘"J.
C Dan, a Judge or Ruler, and considering that the translators most
i frequently render the word HIFT', Jehovah, by “ the Lord,” we
>1 do not see why this word Adoni should also be made to have .the
3i| same meaning exactly. This becomes more obviously questionable,
w when we go on to read the 33rd verse, thus : “ To Him that rideth
i, upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old and when we
>i read in the following verse that “the strength of God is in the
�60
THE RULE OF GOD.
[zADKIEl’s '
heavens,” as it is rightly rendered in the margin, since the evanescent
“clouds” certainly cannot be thought,for a moment, to depict the ■
strength of God. AVell, here we find that God is said to ride upon :
the heavens of heavens, which were of old. Now, what can this
signify, but that God is the Ruler of the heavens, which, although
moved by His servants, the angels, are yet altogether subject to
His will, whose fiat first called them into existence ? Rightly, there
fore, did David, in the 20th verse, 69th Psalm, say, “Let the heavens:
and the earth praise Him ; the seas, and everything that moveth i
therein.”
We will now give the original Greek of the twenty-fifth verse ofj
the thirteenth chapter of St. Mark’s Gospel, wherein the words
of our Blessed Lord are related, and we will follow these by the
Latin Vatican translation, made for the use of the Catholi :
Church, and termed “the Vulgate.” We shall then present the
French translation by Jaques de Bay, made in 1572, which is
considered to be extremely accurate; and, finally, we shall otter
the authorised translation of the Protestant Testament, and *llow
o
with our own literal rendering. The reader will then perceive that
our Saviour did actually and forcibly declare the existence of th#
influences, or virtud^ or powers, which are in the heavenly bodies.
1st. The Greek runs thus : Kai ol atrfspsf tov ovzavov ’'ercvra^
sr.wlwrovTSS, xal al Svvaasif, at ev to7$ ocpavoi$ trateufycroyi'ai.
2nd The Vulgate Latin for this passage is as follows : Et stellse
cceli erunt decidentes, et virtutes, quae in ccelis sunt, movebuntur.
3rd. The old French translation runs thus : “ Et les estoilles du
ciel cherront, et les vertus qui sont es cieux, seront esmues.”
4th. The authorized Protestant Testament has, “And the stars
of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be
shaken.”
We shall now give the rendering we conceive to be literal and in
exact accordance with the original Greek. It is this : “ And the
stars of heaven shall fail, and the powers that are in the heavens^
shall be shaken.”
The first clause of the verse, if taken in the sense of the
authorized version, would import that “ the stars,” meaning thereby
the heavenly bodies in general, including fixed stars, planets and
comets, should absolutely fall down, on, to, or towards the earth.
But if we examine the word in the original which our version
renders “fall,” viz., ¿/.■zvmTorrff, ekpiptontes, we find it formed
truly from the verb
pipto, to fall ; but not in the direct and
palpable sense of falling down, but in the metaphorical sense of
failing. Thus, when Mr. Parkhurst says “the word is used to
express the destruction of the heavenly bodies, i.e., then fall from
*
�ALMANAC, j
Gl
THE RULE CT GOD
heaven,”* he foolishly adopts the idea of the failure or destruction
of the heavenly bodies being “ their fall from heaven,” as if they
were merely toys ; as if, in fact, they could fall anywhere! If we,
however, will adopt the idea of the destruction or the failure of the
heavenly bodies being signified, which we must do if we read the
preceding verse relating to the Sun being “darkened” and the Moon
ceasing to give her “ light,” we easily discover that the true reading
of the passage is, “And the stars of heaven shall fail?
But it is the latter clause of the verse, which, when truly and
grammatically translated from the Greek, becomes of such vast
importance, because it declares that there are “powers” in the heavens
which shall be, when the heavenly bodies themselves shall be found
to fail, not destroyed with them, but “shaken.” This expression
imports that those “powers” have a mission to perform during the
existence of the heavenly bodies; and that, after the destruction or
failure of these, that mission shall cease to be, although the powers
themselves may continue to exist. And this is quite consistent
with the idea that the Jews have always had, as Maimonides testi
fies, that the powers in the heavens were spiritual beings, or angels.
If so, they may be shaken, but will not, of course, be destroyed.
Now the question arises as to what these “powers which are in
the heavens” are said to be by the Evangelist. He calls them
zzi Swapels • which word is formed from ewagi;, dynamis, which
is equivalent to the Latin terms potentia, vis, virtus, that is,
“power,” “force,” “virtue.” And accordingly we see that the
Vatican Latin translation has “ Virtutes quae in coelis sunt,” the
* virtues which are in the heavens.” And the French translation
is also, “les vertus qui sont cs cieux,” that is, “the virtues which
are in the heavens.” But the word “virtus,” in Latin, signifies not
only virtue, but force, power, strength; as, for example, Deum
virtute, “ by God’s help.” Mr. Parkhurst renders the word in the
text,
dynameis, “angelical powers, angels ; whether good
©r bad.” He adds, that Wolf and others say that the Jews called
angels powers or virtues (see Jalkut Chabdasch, fol. 89, col. 4), as
.Valesius ad Euseb., p. 254 (see Praep. Evang., iv, 6), shows that the
Greeks did. But he farther adds, that this word dynameis meant
^mighty, i. e., miraculous powers? And, lastly, he says that it
signified “ the powers or hosts of heaven? i. e., the stars. “ Avvaat;
and vis in Latin often denote the armies or forces of a kingdom ;
and hence Suydgsi; rwv ovpocvwv (dynameis ton ouranon) denote
the stars, or splendid bodies with which the heavens are adorned.”
The reader will perceive that the learned Mr. Parkhurst here makes
I »jumble of the whole thing ; for he first makes the word dynameis
signify the “powers” of heaven, and then again “the stars.” Now
• "Greek and English Lexicon,

[zadkiel’s
this is absurd ; because the stars might exist and have no powers ;
as very many foolish folk declare they do. And they may exist
and have “powers,” as the astrologers contend, and as the Saviour
has declared. The cause of this jumble perhaps is, that the Jews
in early times believed all the stars, or heavenly bodies, to be
gods ; and in course of time both Jews and Greeks came to believe
that they were, as Parkhurst states, angels; which explains the ex
pressions of David in the 103rd Psalm, v. 20, where he says, “ Bless
Jehovah, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his command
ments;" and v. 21, “ Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of
his, that do his pleasure" Where we see the doctrine taught that
the hosts or stars of heaven do the pleasure of the Great Jehovah,
as do the angels. But it seems evident that “ the powers that are
in the heavens ” can be no other than the angels. And so Astro
logy has always taught that each planet has its angel, that “ excels
in strength,” as David says. Now these angels, or ministers of
Jehovah, wh® “do his commandments,” have been largely spoken of
by ancient writers. It will now be time, however, to show why, in
the second clause of the 25th verse of the thirteenth chapter of
Mark, I have given the words, “ that are in the heavens,” instead of
‘ that are in heaven,” as it stands in the authorised version.
The Latin and the French both correctly translate the Greek
terms ey roif oupavoi; (en tois ouranois) by “in the heavens and
as these words are in the plural form, there can be no excuse for
our translators having rendered them in the singular. The perverse
negligence with which the translators wrote the passage in the sin
gular, instead of the plural, is very evident if we refer to the
parallel passage in the 29th verse of the 24 th chapter of Matthew.
For therein we find the original Greek is in the genitive plural, viz.,
rwy ovpaytiv (ton ouranon), and the English, Latin and French all
agree in rendering it in the same manner. A mere hasty reference
to the latter passage would have been enough to prevent the blun
der in the other.
It may be well to remark here, that all the translators have
made a slip, however, in rendering the words in the 29th vei’se
of the 24th of Matthew, viz., of acrtpep wstrovvTa.i a,wo Toy ovpavov,
(oi asteres pesountai apo tou ouranou), by “the stars shall fall from
heavenfor, where dvio implies motion, it is better to render it by
“ away fromand therefore the words should be rendered by “ the
stars shall fail away from heavenwhich agrees with the passage
in Mark, and implies that they shall be destroyed. At first sight it
may appear of little moment whether we say with Mark, “the
powers that are in heaven,” or “ the powers that are in the heavens.”
But it is really very important; because the word “ heaven,” taken
in the singular, leads the mind to refer to the dwelling of the
Almighty; whereas, “the heavens” at once gives us the idea of the

heavenly bodies, or stars, &c., only. Hence we know, from the true
rendering of the latter clause of Mark xiii, v. 25, and the parallel
passage, Matt, xxiv, v. 29, that our blessed Saviour did, in the
most pointed manner, record the fact of his sacred word that there
are powers or virtues in the heavenly bodies, or stars, &c., and as
these are those which we astrologers call ordinarily “ influences,”
we cannot be denied the right to claim the highest possible
authority for the doctrine we teach.
*
THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY.
“ Mr. B. Cochrane rosé to call the attention of the House (of
Commons) to the organisation of the International Society. The
Society was growing, and in a country like England an organisation
which sought to abolish marriage, which denied God, which denied
all rights of property, and which preached assassination, ought to be
denounced in the strongest way by all honest men.”—Daily News,
13th April, 1872.
Remarks on the above by Zadkiel.—We agree that Mr. Cochrane
has ground for alarm ; but we would ask him whence has sprung
this teaching of atheism, by the class of men likely to become
members of this denounced Society. Is it not manifest that the
doctrines taught by the so-called men of “ science ” in this country,
who openly teach that life began on this earth from the accidental
falling of a moss-covered stone, containing a bug, from an aerolite,
are the true original of the evil ? It is not the workman, who has
no leisure for such studies, even if he have the ability, that originates
and thrusts these disgusting lies into being. It is the man of
“ science ” to whom Mr. Cochrane should look ; whose doctrines he
should denounce ; and not the International Society, which simply
follows the lead of these men. Let this worthy M.P. remember that
he himself, as a member of the Legislature, has done his best to de
stroy the only true teachers of the existence of a God, as proved by
daily reference to his works, in the Heavens, or in other words, by
the science of Astrology. He has sanctioned a law that treats Astro
logy as a fraud, and punishes its professors as if they were common
vagrants, thieves and vagabonds; although the best and brightest
characters of mankind have been well known as Astrologers.
Will Mr. B. Cochrane prove his own feelings in favour of truth
and righteousness, by some attempt to amend that abominable
* The hymn called Te Deum la/udamus has for many centuries been sung by the
whole Catholic and Anglican Church. It runs thns : “To thee all angels cry aloud :
the heavens and all the powers therein.” Now what are these words to signify, if
there be no powers in the heavens, as the adversaries of astrology declare ? What
mockery to address the Deity in language devoid of meaning Yea, verily, there are
powers in the heavens, as all may know who will examine for themselves ; and these
powers are no doubt the “ministers” of God, who “do his will.”

THE EFFECTS OF MAES IN LEO, IN ANY NATIVITY.
There is no aphorism more settled than that which teaches the
several parts of the body ruled, or influenced, by the signs of the
Zodiac. Among these we find (see page 28) that “ the Heart and
the Back ” are ruled by Leo.
Now I purpose to shew, very briefly, that this rule was evinced
in the case of His Royal Highness Prince Alfred ; and also of the
late Lord Mayo, Governor General of India.

Here we find Mars also in Leo, and in close opposition to tl e
Moon, indicating most serious evil to the noble native in the back,
by a stab, oi’ other wound. If we look to the previous birthday < f
ifhe native, on the 21st February, 1871, what do we behold? Why,
we see Saturn in Vf 7° 23', in close conjunction with Uranus at
birth; and Mars on that day in -"= 7° 10' in exact square with him.
Nothing could have been more plainly indicative of the danger tl e
native would be in at the time. But, perhaps, the most strikii g
position, of all that then occurred, was the place of Uranus at the
end of 50 days, equal to 50 years after birth, the 12th April (the
IMondary direction), he being found in exact conjunction with
Saturn at the previous birthday, viz., in vy 7° 21'!
Yet we find further evidence of the fatal influences that brought
this great man to an untimely end ; for, on the 22nd December,
1870, there was a great visible eclipse of the Sun, in Capricorn,
ruling India.
The places of the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Venus and Mercury were
as follows, at the Eclipse :—•

And we see that the place of Uranus in the radix was yf 6° 20' ;
whence it seems that this eclipse was very fatal to the native, as
appears by the melancholy result.
Of course he was educated according to the fashionable He, that
rules predominant in our universities, viz, that there is no truth in
the doctrine of the stars. Had it been otherwise, he might have
avoided exposing himself to the knife of the assassin ; or, better
still, he might have forbidden those cruel deeds—the blowing
away from guns the miserable sixty-five men engaged in the Kooka
insurrection, which perhaps gave rise to the feeling that led to his
destruction.
Now let us turn our eyes upon the figure of the Prince of Wales.
In that we shall see that in December, 1871, there was also a great
eclipse of the sun, which fell on the 12th December, when His
Royal Highness was at the worst, and thought by many to be
dying. But as on that day the eclipse took place, the sun was

exactly on the place of Jupiter, at his birth, we saw, and said, and
wrote to many friends, that he would not die, in fact, we believe that
he could not die, as the hyleg (or life-giver) was no ways afflicted.
The following is the figure, under which His Royal Highness came
into the world; and in this figure we find the moon just 30° 16'
from the M. C., which of course, came to the body of the moon just
past 30 years of age. This gives troubles both of body and minrl.
But the moon has but little rule over the life, which depends wholly
on the sun.

Well, on that very day His Royal Highness began to mend,
according to all the newspapers, and then steadily improved in
health; the only drawback being an affeetioa of the hip, which
arises from bad blood therein, as shewn by Jupiter so near ths

Here it will be seen that the two malefics, Mars and Saturn, are
nearly conjoined in the ascendant; and the moon lies in square
to them both. This led me to anticipate a serious illness for the
prince ; but as Jupiter was in exact sextile to the moon, I did
not foretel any danger to life; neither was there any such;
although the whole nation were led astray, by ignorance of the
rales and doctrines of astral science, to believe and to apprehend
such danger.
The words I used at page 25, November, 1871, were these : “ On
the 9th the moon is afflicted by a square of Mars and Saturn, which
bespeaks serious losses and troubles for all persons born that day, be
they prince, or peasant; and these will endure through all the ensuing
year of life."
My readers well know how true these remarks really were ; but
they must also see that the whole of the Royal Family, and all the
people of these realms, would have been spared great anxiety and
much alarm, if they had but known the true principles of astrology.
These are as ancient as the stars, firm and unfailing as the great
globe itself! They never yet did deceive those men who could read
their indications, and who fail not to remember, that they are the
servants of the Great Eternal whose fiat called them into being, for
the very purpose that they should do his will !

THE EFFECT OF SATURN, &c., IN THE TWELVE HOUSES.
Ceylon, November 25th, 1871.
My dear Sir,—The two copies of your Almanac for 1872, and one
copy of the Companion, with its accompanying, letter, have duly
reached my hands. Please accept my best thanks for the same.
You want, it appears, that I should give my opinion about the
Almanac. What opinion can you expect from an insignificant
astrologer in a remote Island, who can scarcely approach you, or
one of your meanest disciples, in point of erudition, with respect to
this sacred science ? However, I can conscientiously say, that not
only the contents of your Almanac for 1872, but almost all your
Almanacs for past years, contain pure truth, and nothing but truth.
It would be in vain in a letter like this to mention in detail the
exact verification of most of your predictions, even in Ceylon,
unless I undertake to write a large pamphlet on the subject.
Your weather predictions turn out to be exactly correct, even in
Ceylon ; and your unerring calculations on the configuration of the
planets are perfect as perfect could be. The most wonderful and
admirable of all your predictions are especially those with reference
to people born in such a month in any year. I have found them
not only to be exactly true with respect to several persons, in the
course of my practice, but they were verified to a very great extent
in my own case. There are a thousand and tens of thousands of
Budhistical astrologers swarming throughout the Island, but, alas !
their calculations are not at all correct; hence their several failures in
prediction. There are a few of them studying under me the Occi
dental way of casting nativities, and they, I see, are gradually
opening their eyes to the correct system. Thank God we have no
penal laws against astrologers in Ceylon. Besides astrology, there
are different other varieties of occult sciences prevalent and
practised in Ceylon, about which I promised to provide you with a
brief description in my last letter.—Hoping to hear soon from you
*
I remain, my dear Sir, yours ever faithfully—J. P.

EFFECT OF MARS POSITED IN EACH OF THE TWELVE
HOUSES OF THE HEAVENS
(NOT IN THE TWELVE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC).
Translated from an ancient Singhalese Manuscript.
1st House.—If God Mars be posited in the ascendant, he will
cause strife and contention to the native in the village or country
that gave birth to him, and involve him in litigation: he will be
separated from his wife, and will have very few or no children at
all, and endless domestic troubles.

EFFECT OF MARS.
[zadkiel’s
2nd House.—If God Mars goes to the 2nd house, the native will
be sundered from his father, and will be very unfortunate, losing
all his estates and effects, and will ultimately cause the native to
quit the village which gave birth to him.
3rd House.—If God Mars be posited in the 3rd house, he will
cause the native to be rich in gold and silver, and cause him to
possess three landed properties in three distinct villages, and ulti
mately cause the native to be injured by a bull.
4th House.—If the red-bodied God be in the 4th house, wherever
the native goes he will be implicated in contentions and other
affairs that do not concern him at all; he will be hated by his
brothers, and will ultimately turn out a regular wanderer out of his
own country.
5th House.—If (the son of the earth) Meh& Puth (this is one of
the appellations of Mars), be posited in the 5th, tell surely the
native will never have children, the father of the native must be
continually sick, and say also to a certainty that the native’s wife
has two paramours.
6th House.—If Mars be posited in the sixth from the ascendant,
the native will be powerful and prosperous, and will be favoured by
great men, and will be a famous man, possessing three landed
properties in three distinct places.
7th House.—If the son of the earth be posited in the 7th, the
native will be choleric and bilious, two of his children shall die in
their younger days, and the native himself will be subject to rheu
matism in arms and legs.
8th House.—If Mars were to be in the 8th, or the house of death,
the native will depart his native country, owing to continual
ill-health ; he will for a long time be confined to bed, on account of
the pain he will have to sutler in his legs and arms, on account of
rheumatism : he will have sons and daughters, but they are
perfectly helpless.
9th House.—If God Mars should go to the 9th house, the native
will turn out to be a great debauchee, wandering from place to place
in quest of satisfaction to his animal propensities ; however he will
be somewhat consequential for his having two landed properties of
some value.
10th House.—If Mars be in the 10th, the native will be victorious
in battle, and he will positively overcome his enemies; he will
possess four landed properties inherited from his ancestors, and he
will have plenty of riches.
11th House.—If the son of the earth be in the 11th, the native
will obtain the command of a large host or army; he will be a brave
and a literary man, and will have plenty of sons, daughters and
cattle.

THE EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA.
New York, April 1.
The earthquakes in Southern California have continued two days.
Thirty persons have been killed and one hundred injured at Loan
Pine, and other deaths have occurred in the adjoining hamlets.—
Daily News, 2nd April, 1872.
EARIHQUAKES AT ANTIOCH.
The following special telegram appears in the Times:—
Alexandretta, April 6—Half the towns of Antioch was de
stroyed by an earthquake on the 3rd of April; 1,500 persons were
killed. Great distress prevails in consequence.—Echo, 8 April, 72.
Floods near Oxford.—The lowlandsand meadows around Oxford
are inundated with water—rather an extraordinary circumstance in
April.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN ANTIOCH.
Further interesting details are published of the earthquake which
occurred in Antioch on the 3rd of April. Two-thirds of the houses
in the town have been utterly ruined, including the most ancient
and most durable public buildings, and the remaining houses are so
greatly damaged that there is no possibility of occupying them.
The inhabitants, who are in great misery, are living in tents out
side the town, and are in deep grief on account of the loss of rela
tives and property. The sacrifice of life has been very great; 1,500
Mahometans and 250 Christians and Jews being reported missing.
Close to Antioch is the Isle of Suadia, in which all the houses,
numbering about one thousand, are ruined. In Elonshia and
Eljadida scarcely a building is left standing. Eljalba and Gallack
are also entirely ruined; 3JO persons have perished in the latter
place. When the earthquake took place, Mount Britias was split

To tell of half thy crimes, the poor heart bleeds
For now, alas ! thou art more horrible,
More grimly savage—ay 1 more terrible.,
More ruthless, cruel, and more steeped in gore
Thau was thy fellow iu yon days of yore !
Hast thou no sense of wrong ? no human feeling I
Wouldst murder e’en a guileless child when kneeling I
Since thou art habited in German guise,
Lost to all decency, thou hast no eyes
To note the deep disgust the nations feel
For thee, defiant with thy blood-stained steel.
Think not to hand down to posterity
A claim to honour or to verity !
Thy false-tongued champions parade in lies !
Thou smilest grimly when a maiden dies ;
Till Heaven and Earth and Hell, aghast, stand back,
And curse the course of thy infernal track.
A myriad demons from dire depths below—
Whence spirits cursed into demons grow—
Attend thy steps, aud urge thy fated sway,
Till blushes at thy acts the God of Day.
And hark 1 below, the chorus of the dead,
Whom thou hast struck with fatal steel or lead '
They loudly wail thy all-devouring power,
And pray that soon may come the fatal hour
When down to utter depths ®f dark despair
Shall fall thy leaders, in the serpent’s lair;
There, helpless, in dread agony to dwell—
A just reward for making Earth a Hell!—R. J. M.

They shine, ay they shine ; and seem almost divine.
No mortal may know whence they come, how they go.
’ Pis sweet to regard them, as peaceful they glow;
Unknown as they are—the beautiful stars.

Where angels will smile on our spirits in peace :
No fear, or alarms, lest our joys should explode ;
For pleasures for ever shall there but increase.

SAINT PAUL AND «EVIL SPIRITS.”
*
The 12 verse, 6 chap., of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians has
these words : “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against,
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
t his world, against evil spirits in the Heavens.
N ow the translators have in the above verse (and in chap, i, 3,
and ii, 6) been at a loss to render the term ’ETroo^avio;, which is
formed from £7r<, ¿n, and
heaven; so they invented the
term “high places,” which, besides forcing in the word “places,”
destroys the obvious meaning of St. Paul. For he, being a ¿Tew,
knew well that the Jews believed the air to be tilled with evil
spirits. And the whole of this 12th verse, if taken in connection
with the verse just preceding, where he says, “Put on the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the Devil]' is a fine burst of eloquence, arousing his readers to the
remembrance that here, on earth, “we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
evil spirits (or wicked spirits in the Heavens.
)
*
This is further confirmed by the Apostle’s expression in the 16th
verse, where he says: “Above all, taking the shield of faith, where
with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one!" lov ttov^om, which means, beyond doubt, of the wicked one,
that is, the Devil.

SATURN AND HIS GRIEVOUS MISCHIEF IN
CAPRICORN.
In my Almanac for 1870, for the month of December, I said that,
“ On the 15th of this month, the slowly moving Saturn creeps over
the southern tropic and enters Capricorn. Therein he will soon
begin to afflict Greece, India and Mexico.” Now this prediction
has been already well fulfilled ; chiefly in India and Mexico, but
ateo in Persia, “about Circan and Maracan,” &c. Not only have
♦■bare been severe storms and destruction thereby on the face of the
earth in India, but the horrid murders of 65 prisoners, by blowing
them away from guns, well marks the brutality of men under the
influence of the above evil planet, and the shocking murder of Lord
Mayo, on the 8th of last February, marks the sway of Saturn over
part of the world. In Mexico there has been one continued
scene of anarchy and revolution, slaughter, cruelty and bloodshed.
« Advices from Mexico announce that anarchy reigns throughout
Northern Mexico.”—D. News, April 1st, 1872.
As to Persia, the D. News, 5th May, has the following from
^Teheran: “ The road is strewn with half-eaten corpses. I had
1 ’ several .times to remove dead bodies from the rooms of the
caravanserai where I lodged. Cannibalism not uncommon.” Bulgaria

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF THE ASSYRIANS.

“ All wc can now venture to infer is, that the Assyrians worshipped
^one supreme God, as the great national deity, under whose immediate and special protection they lived and their empire existed.
’
...........................................................................................
Different nations appear to have had different names for their
supreme deity; thus, the Babylonians called him Nebo. The name
of this god appears to have been Asshur, as nearly as can be deter
$
ft . mined at present from the inscriptions. It was identified with that
IQ | of the empire itself—always called “the country of Asshur;” it
entered into those of both kings and private persons, and was also
applied to particular cities. With Ashur, but apparently far inferior

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF THE ASSYRIANS.
[zADKIEL’S
be identified with the divinities of the Greek Pantheon, although it
is scarcely wise to hazard conjectures, which must ere long be again
abandoned. These twelve gods may also have presided over the
twelve months of the year, and the vast number of still inferior
gods, in one inscription, I believe, stated to be no less than 4,000,
over the days of the year, various phenomena and productions of
nature, and the celestial bodies. It is difficult to understand such
a system of polytheism, unless we suppose that, whilst there was
but one supreme God, represented sometimes under a triune form,
all the so-called inferior gods were originally mere names for events
and outward things, or symbols and myths. Although at one time
generally accepted as such, even by the common people, their true
meaning was only known in a corrupted age to the priests, by whom
they were turned into a mystery and a trade. It may, indeed, be
inferred from many passages in the Scriptures, that a system of
theology, not far differing from the Assyrian, prevailed at times
.amongst the Jews themselves. Ashur is generally, if not always,
typified by the winged figure in the circle. Although the kings of
the latter dynasty are sometimes represented worshipping thej
minor deities, I know of no monument on which the earlier .monarchs
are seen adoring any other figure than that of Ashur.”
Mr. Layard says (p. 615), in speaking of the well-known edifice
at Nimroud, that its builder was believed to be Ninus, &c. Colonel
Rawlinson believed this to be his name. He has since suggested
that of Assur-dan-bal. Dr. Hincks reads Ashur-ak-bal. It is cer
tain the first monogram stands both for the name of the country of
Assyria and for that of its protecting deity. We might conse
quently assume, even were other proofs wanting, that it should be I
read Assur or A shur.” [This point is clear enough, if we only look
to the Hebrew name of Ash-shur, which means, Ash, star or fire,
and Shur, the celestial bull. This applied to Venus, because Venus
ruled in Taurus by house; and hence, the country was named after |
her, the land of the Star of the Bull, which was Venus. The character, |
for Ashur is in the cimeiform---- [-, the same as that which begins thefl
word Shushan, the palace, which was, undoubtedly, Venus.—Zac?.]
A Mirage.—The Scotch papers report a mirage at the mouth of I
the Forth on Sunday. The weather was remarkably warm, and in 1
the afternoon there was a dull, deceptive haze. The sea presented |
almost the appearance of a mirror, and the vessels upon it seemed [
to have a double reflection from the sea and the background |i
beyond. At one time the masts and rigging seemed elongated to <
four or five times their natural length, and then in the course of h
a few minutes they were reduced so as to be scarcely visible. At L
other times the vessels appeared to be sailing double—one ship
sea, and one in air. Extraordinary appearances were assumed bysj

DR. LIVINGSTONE AND PTOLEMY.
[ZADKIELT
It is not very likely that, in England, and in the nineteenth ten^ury> such a law can be long upheld, or maintained, notwithstanding
the violence of the atheistical opponents to all belief in spirits, 01
spiritual influence on mankind.
DR LIVINGSTONE AND PTOLEMY.
The Times of 6th August, 1872, contains the letters of Dr. Living
stone, which are very greatly interesting. All honour to the enter
prising Ameiican, who discovered the long-lost and eminent
geographer. The following extract from the letters proves that
this really great man, Dr. Livingstone, fully appreciates the know
ledge of Claudius Ptolemy, on the subject of the sources of the
Nile :—
“ The mountains on the watershed are probably what Ptolemy, for reasons
now unknown, called the Mountains of the Moon. From their bases I found
that the springs of the Nile do unquestionably arise. This is just what Ptolemy
put down, and is true geography. No must accept the fountains, and nobody
but Philstines will reject the mountains, though we cannot conjecture the
reason for the name. Mounts Kenia and Kilimanjaro are said to be snowl
capped, but they are so far from the sources, and send no water to any part< I
the Nile, they could never have been meant by the correct ancient explorer ]
from whom Ptolemy and his predecessors gleaned their true geography, so]
different from the trash that passes current in modern times.”
It will be seen that the “ worthy Doctor cannot conjecture thtj
reason for the name of ‘Mountains of the Moon.’ Well, we tel|
him the reason. Ptolemy knew and taught that all Africa” (see pj
18) was especially under the influence of the sign Cancer ; and aa
this sign is the House of the Moon, in which she has the chief
power, we see at once why these, the most celebrated mountains in
Africa, were called after her name. It so happens that Ptolemy!
whose knowledge in geography and astronomy is admitted to b«
unsurpassed, was the very fountain from whence are drawn all th|
doctrines of Astrology, that our savons choose to disbelieve without
any, the least, attempt at refuting by reference to facts. It is t®
such men as Ptolemy, whose name will never die, that we poi# i
when the buffoons who write in newspapers against the truths o |
Astrology begin to bray.

A most violent eruption of Vesuvius
took place; immense destruction en
sued, and very many lives were lost.
The lamentable death of that great
and noble man, Lord Mayo, took place
—“ in India," be it observed.
We all know the sad squabble for
the “Indirect Claims;” and the noted
debates in our Parliament. But all
passed off peacefully—a result that no
human wisdom but that of the stars
could have foreseen.
The deaths by sun-stroke in NevYork were fearfully numerous—some
200 cases in one day took place; and
these were, of course, all “ pains in
the head ! " The death-rate was awful.
“ The highest point the thermometer
reached yesterday was 93 degrees, and
people cried out that the heat was in
sufferable.’’—TVew York Herald.
A very sharp warfare on the part of
the Carlists broke out in June; but, as
predicted, it was “soon put down."
The great French Loan was sub
scribed for, over fourteen times its
amount!
This was the note in the title-page,
and it has been astoundingly fulfilled !
The whole country has rung with dis
cord ! Every class of men, the trades
and servants all through the country,
have been up and waved the Flag of
Discord ! — demanding higher wages
and less work; and this state of things
is yet rife, in July, 1872. “ The House
of Lords gives much trouble,” p. 39,
has been fulfilled, anent the Ballot
Bill. In America Discord has reigned
—the President being iD trouble, and
a Judge of the Supreme Couit put on

“ The Fruit Crop.—The fruit crop
of 1872 is probably the smallest that
the most experienced and observant
cultivator can call to remembrance.
Our neighbours across the channel are
in much the same plight—the failure is
