Lucky Natal Months

Fatalists and those who firmly believe that what is to be will be, assert that nearly all men who achieve fame in this world wero born either in the fall, winter or spring months of the year, the summer months not being conducive to mature development. Out of the twenty-two Presidents of the United States only two were born in the Summer. Zachary Taylor, was born in September ; John Adams, Pierce, Hayes and Arthur were born in October ; Garfield and Polk were born in November ; Van Buren was born in December ; Washington, Lincoln and Harrison were bom in February ; Madison, Jackson, Tyler, Filluiore and Cleveland were born in March ; Jefferson, Monroe, Buchanan and Grant were born in April ; John, Quincy Adams and Andrew Johnson were the only summer birds. Both were born in July. June, July and August can claim only eleven of the seventy-six men in the Senate. All the rest were born in the lucky months. Sir Moses Motefiore was born in October ; Mahomet, Wendell Phillips, Cowper, Louise Alcolt| and George Eliot were born in November ; John Milton and Thomas Carlyle were born in December ; Lord Byron, Alexander Hamilton and James G. Blame were borne in January ; John A. Logan, James Kussell Lowell, Longfellow, Edison and General Hancock were born in February : the great Napoleon- was born in March ; Bismarck, Adelina Papti, Washington Irving, Charlotte, Bronte, Professor Morse and Handel were born in April.
