The Steam King is up, and the whistle is heard, 1 he bell gives the 6ignal, we re oft like a bird Through mountains and valleys, right onward we press, Hurrah! then hurrah! we are off by express, Ourflight's-likethe eagles's. as fearless and brave; 1 he liag tells of safety as gaily it wavrs. i The rails are all clear, and the Monarch, ahead ; See forth trom his nostrils the deep glare of red Sull onward and onward we gallantly press, Heirah I then hurras! we are off by express. Towns, cities and hamlets, h ive passed in review, Like some diorama of beautiful hue. Our journey's accomplished, safe, safe as a dart. Our frame not fatigued, nor oppressed is the heart. With fire and spirit right onward we press, Hurrah ! then hurrah ! we are safe by express. What applies to the rails is in commerce the same, And hence the Bugg's greatness, and hence the Bugg's fame. Express is his motto; in matters of dress, He receives. a 11 his fashions and models by express All the qualifications the Tugg does possess, To outstrip all '"slow trains" thus he wins by express. Expressly his fabrics are made for his mart, Expressly he nurtures his cutters of art ; Expressly -for him the best workmen's retained. Expressly for all such prime clothes he's sustained ; L xpresely ?o please you, his efroris progress, Expressly in beauty and cheapness of dress. OLIVER & PROCTER, Merchant Tailors. Raleigh, N. C.
