Pour Passer le Tems.
The following pieces, published some months ago in London,
afford   amusement, intelligence and improvement.  The long
interval
since a supply of new books, magazines and other pamphlets,  
have been received from England, will apologize for re-
adver-
tising these bagatelles.  In such an exigence if we can't
snow   white, we must e'en snow away brown.
The Pupil of Pleasure,
By Courtney Melmoth, a novel that has sold rapidly
price One Dollar.
The Englishman's Fortnight at Paris,
Or the art of ruining a man's self in fourteen days;
Price Six Shillings York.
The Diaboliad
Characteristic of many fashionable persons.  The author of
this piece is esteemed the Whitehead or Churchill of the
present time.  Five shillings.
The Election Ball
By Mr. Ansty, author of the Bath Guide, the best writer
extant in this cast.  A very pleasant 4s. worth.
