Jwu'ia IUJi/y au6'uiuimmes are uiieap,
And plenty enough to be had,
Down to the sepulchres dreary and deep,
Out with the slumbering dead !
Never ye mind, though they once were a nation,
Pile them along by the railway station.
Pile up your ancestors ! sell by the cord.
Thoroughly cured for use ;
Heat up the engine, with prophet acd bard,
Nor linger to talk of abuse,
Who cares for dead people, all turned to leather ?
Pitch them all into the furnace together.
The good old rule must never be broke,
Lo " ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,"
Spicy the odors that float in their smoke
Though the savor of virtue is lost.
Back to the dust ! long enough you've delayed it,
The rule must be kept, tho' you sought to evade it.
Foolish Egyptians ; you did not discern
That the longer you've dried the better yon bur
Now halt at the stopping-place, just to take on
A cord or so of the dead-
Old human rigging of mustle and bone—
Nothing like that for speed.
Hark ! how the dry bones rattle and grate,
Swung by the spirits at dead of night.
Breaking the stillness with sounds of fright.
Oncc-it may cliance-theee were fair furmsand
Now bereft of their beauty atld graces J
features so rigid and callous,
Moved long ago in the air of a palace ;
Lived, and were worshipped, and went to the t
To sleep their last sleep in a cassia bed.
Dried forever is the fountain of tears
From the eyes that wept in the long gone ytai
The cheeks dried away, cling fast to the bone
The lips'clasp the teeth, and their color is goni
lie-thinks the wandering soul would disdain
To dwell in its old habitation again.
No longer lie useless, go in with the rest
And soon a nfcw ardor will fire your breast.
No iuattr what trade you were wont to pursui
We'll now make an engine-driver of you !
And if you're a king, and the station is liumbli
Why then you must grumble, mumble, and jun
And rumble and tumble, with the speed of the
Over the land of the Nile we sail!
Shades of the ancients and ghosts of the dead
Gather for veugeanee around 1
Bend the huge blocks from your pyramid's ilea
Hurling them down to the ground,
Crush yonder black fiery Ghoul, that in thunde
Rushes away o'er the plain with his plunder.
Seize on the fierce, howling demon of spoil,
And drag him away to his doom ;
Quench his fiery breath in the Nile,
Ere he desolates even the tomb,
That never the sonnd of a foul robbers tread,
May echo agaiu in the hails of the dead.

CAUTION.—We are compelled in justice to ourselves,
and our old customers, as well as to prevent an imposition
upon the public generally, to caution them against a sort
a concern, that falsely holds out to the public that it is
the Argus Bindery. This fraud is practiced no doubt,
with a hope of deluding the Public. Against this bold

THE subscriber having withdrawn from the Argus

be has removed his Plain and Fancy Bindery to the North
Room of the Wa:d House, formerly occupied by the Post
Oflire, where he is now prepared to bind all kinds of

public.
Thankful for the confidence reposed ip me and the pub

shall endeavor iu the future to merit the continuance ot
public support.

CAUTION.
" To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous irppo*ititm,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
rrMIE proprietor of the .-frgi/n takes o-rasion in adver
_L tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a •' sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that tf the pnblic bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years 1 hat worked for Mr. PARSONS, and lie
has taken great ndib# t s itisfy tire public I was the " best
Binder in America," as Ibe columns of the Argtu will
testify. Has lie been all that time " deluding the pub
lic ?" If 1 have been engaged in a fraud/ he has been the
principal. But I refer to my work during that time as
evidence that there lias lieen no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count.as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawftil calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
