i vas tho CUSTOM in old fcudal times
To ward ring 1niustrels to rehearse their rhv1ncz
In meic.ly, Of each various strife
That added history spice to life,
And 70! this object made their eafIs
Under bhe portals Of old castle walls.
Ger witch they got, We hope full printers pay,
= har,9rs then got all their lore this Way
Now patrons with trusting muse,
To-day .Foud represent thus carrying news
Except r-excuse me-that cannot sing
And So instead this bulletin I bring
AID OF, the advent Of this new born year,
Proud Is It's ha-binger appear
To serve bearer, as you zee,
OF the great PEEss' Modern MiastreIsy
Anot4e year is added to the past. and fed
With stift-vinged passage, to It's kindred dead;
Another year of life and beauty gone
how soon the sunset supercedes the dawn
Gone with its scenes of nObleness-of crime
It's folly! pleasures, and its deeds sublime -
We little realize the works Of time
Yet ssh We hear, now ringing in our ears.
Their diving memores-departed years.
reIrls all my visits round to you last year,
We're with the hope to make its actions clear;
And Though, through telegraph AID mails,
l have Brought wondrous and unvarnished talesn
And st+ye each week its actions to unfold
Much J t remains unwrtten and untold
This its is full of strange unfathoned history,
Whose ruins do but lily solve their mystery =
But l MUST leave them to romancers snd the Fates
It's mit,,o to deal IN but the latest dates
