NEW SLETS.

And bells OF silver bright,
They made the frosty echoes ring
TIL TAR iOto the night.
LAST year. q be quite up 10 date.
They took an auto-car;
From house 10 house with dizzy speed
They Travelled fast and far,
IN goggles, mask and leather cap,
with rolling clouds Of steam
And brazen gong, they rushed along
And vanished like a dream.
But stately coach and single steed
Have mGue their farewell bow,
And natty SLEIGH and auto-car
Are both old-fashioned now.
This year when YOU 40 out 70 call,
or wish 10 leave "A card,
You LEI the anchor down, and tie
Your sirship IN the yard.
