	Auld Lang Syne.
	ROBERT BURNS.	SCOTCH.
	The melody of "Auld Lang Syne" is very old. It was known under the title of "I feeda lad at Mar­tinmas'.' It is built upon the ancient scale of five tones. The singer will notice that the fourth and sev­enth tones are absent from the tune. The first verse is also much older than the time of Burns.The sec­ond and third verses, howover, are by the great poet.
