The E1presS Train .

Oh where are the words that can truly impress,
The pleasure we feel when we're off by express?
The Steam King is up, and the whistle is heard,
The bell gives the signal, we're off like bird.
Through mountains and valleys, right onward we press
Hurrah! then hurrah! we off by express.
Our flights like the eages's, fearless and brave;
The lag tells of safety as gaily it waves
The rails are all clear, and the Monarch'S ahead;
See forth from his nostrils the deep glare of red
Still onward and onward gallantly press,
Hurrah! then hurrah. we off by express
Towns, cities and hamlets, have passed in review,
Like some diorama of beautiful hue.
Our journeys accomplished, safe, safe dart,
Our frame not fatgued, nor oppressed is the heart.
With fire and spirit right onward press,
Hurrah! then hurrah! we safe by express.
What applies to the rails is in commerce the same,
And hence ssThe BUGG'S" greatness, and hence
"The BUGG'S" fame.
Express is his motto; In matters of dress,
He receives all his fashions and models by express
All the qualifications " The Bugg " does possess,
To outsrip all slow trains thus he wins by express
Expressly his fabrics made for this mart,
Expressly he nuYtures his cutters of art;
Expressly for him the best workmen's retaine
Expressly for all such prime clothes he's sustained;
Expressly to please you, his efforts progress,
Expressly in beauty and cheapness ofdress
