NEW ORIGINAL NOVEL, BY EDWARD S. GOULD.

PRICE 25 CENTS.

The Proprietors of the New World announce that they will shortly issue an original
humorous work, entitled

THE SLEEP-RIDER;
OR,
THE OLD BOY IN THE OMNIBUS.

BY
THE MAN IN THE CLARET-COLORED COAT.

This is believed to be the first successful attempt in our language to produce a
complete story after the manner of Sterne. The imitation of that great humorist,
however, extends no further than to the general plan: the entire detail of the work,
its incidents, descriptions, and reflections, will be found as purely original, and
quite as entertaining as any modern work whatever.

The scene is laid in a Broadway Omnibus, where several honest citizens are introduced
as passengers, and undergo a series of adventures so astonishing, that, if
not strictly true, they would be incredible. The work is diversified by illustrations
of temperance, grammar, thunder-storms, matrimony, sub-treasuries, water-works,
cornners' inquests, and animal magnetism. The “hits at the times” are
given in the richest vein of quiet humor; and the reader who fails to weep at the
pathos, and roar at the drollery of this novel production, must be made of “sterner
stuff” than we are. Address

J. WINCHESTER, 30 Ann street.

SIXTH EDITION OF
THE GIPSIES OF SPAIN,

By the same author, and equally interesting—giving a description of the most wild
and singular people on the earth. Both works are full of thrilling adventures in
Spain and Portugal, and descriptive of the scenery, costumes, manners, and customs
of a people, of whom comparatively little is known by Americans.

Price 25 cents; $16 a hundred.
