HON. MARSHALL P. WILDER. 89 



At the conclusion of the speaking, the company rose, and 

 as a parting ceremony sang the following lines from Burns's 

 song of Auld Lang Syne : — 



" Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

 And never brought to min'? 

 Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

 And days o' lang syne ? 



For auld lang syne, my dear, 



For auld lang syne. 

 We '11 tak' a cup o' kindness yet, 

 For auld lang syne. 



" And here 's a hand, my trusty fier. 

 And gie 's a hand o' thine ; 

 And we '11 tak' a right guid-willie waught, 

 For auld lang syne. 



For auld lang syne, my dear, 



For auld lang syne, 

 We '11 tak' a cup o' kindness yet, 

 For auld lang syne."
