The second on the list is
SCORPIO,
Whose malice and sting come into play from the last-mentioned date, and penetrate everywhere up to the 21st November.
Sheriffs' officers, lawyers, stage-door keepers, and anthropophagi, are always born under this constellation.
SAGITTARIUS
Comes next. Old Chiron, the Nimrod of his day, dwells at this Sign of the Zodiac. He was put in possession of it by Jupiter for having taught Achilles how to pull the long-bow. He favours Derby sweeps and the Epping Hunt, but his patronage cannot be of much value to the latter, as his influence is only good from the 22nd of November to the 21st of December.
The protégé of Sagittarius is generally fond of hunting the slipper and shooting the moon. He is known by his carpet bag, stuffed with bricks and straw. He sports a moustache, but never shows any tip.
The fourth sign is
CAPRICORNUS,
Who was originally Jupiter's wet-nurse. His lease of the Zodiac extends to the 21st of January, after which he is obliged to pull in his horns.
