"Why do the children watch the skies when the stars peep out as the sunset dies?  What is the secret the shadows hold?  What is the legend the stars unfold?  Hold to the light where no shadow bars, and read the answers in the stars."  From c. 1890.  (Spoiler: when held to the light, additional stars on the back of the card filled in letters that read "Hood[']s Pills.")
