If a _Single_ WOMAN _Dreams_ the 18th DREAM, it tells when she’ll be married. If the 19th, she may make her fortune.--The 35th tells what children she’ll have. But if she dreams the 34th DREAM She may as well wed FARINELLI, _All one_ With a curious print of FARINELLI finely engraved, Plainly shewing to open and clear view, etc. The 42d DREAM describes the man she’s to have, and The 33d tells a WIFE also to LOOK ABOUT HER. The rest of the DREAMS tell, etc. etc. etc. To which is added A LOTTERY For HUSBANDS for young MAIDS, With the _Prints_ of these HUSBANDS, Finely Engraved. Not one Blank, but ALL Prizes, the _Lowest_ of which Is a very _Handsome_ and RICH _Young Gentleman_ that keeps his COACH. --And if she draws of the 6th class of _Tickets_, she is then sure to be MY LADY. To be drawn as soon as full--And Any Maiden that will put off TWO _Tickets_, shall have ONE for _Her Self_ to put her in Fortune’s way. ’Tis GIVEN GRATIS at Mr BURCHELL’S ANODYNE NECKLACE SHOP in Long Acre, Cutler and Toyshop.

M. Z. at the Portugal Coffee house near the Exchange. Notices of this kind--many of the most barefaced, and not a few of a decidedly indelicate description--must have been a fruitful source of income to the proprietors of newspapers; and that professions of adoration for unknown women--most of whom were presumably married, else why all the concealment and strategy?--did not fall off as years progressed is shown by the following, taken from a wealth of the same kind in the commencement of 1748. It is also from the _General Advertiser_:--
