88 ON CELEBRATING NEW YEAR's DaY.
" Stap down to Ned's^ fill up a g-lass,
" An' blytlily toast some bonny lass ;
" Thus catch the moments as they pass
" On silent wing- :
" Hech^ lad ! ye'U try to get some brass,
*^^ An' learn to sing.
'' Take my respects,, wi' health an' greeting-,
" To a' the members o' the meeting ;
" May they an' you ne'er miss a weeting
" On New Year's Day.
" Sin' life an' a' its scenes are fleeting,
" Live while ye may."*
* It is to be regretted that this piece was not finished accord-
ing to the plan apparently intended, which, we suppose, was a
paraphrase of Solomon's ironical advice, " Rejoice, O young
man, in the days of thy youth." Editor.
