SELECTED TOASTS
Wine is good,
Love is b ett er;
False morals spin a spider's fetter.
So :fill up the bowl,
Be a jolly old soul,
And you '11 °be lovecl by your girl when
you get her .

TOAST TO
A SAD MAN.
H er e 's to th e knees that are always
quaking;
H er e's to t he hearts that are always
breaking;
May th ey be steeped in mellow whis·
k ey,
Or plunged in rich '' L acry ma -Christi. ''
*
TOAST TO PUBLISHERS.
H er e 's to the man who disseminates
brains·
When the 'qu ality's bad it's the devil
who gains.
*
CLOVER CLUB 'S TOAST.
Here's to a Jong life and a merry one,
A quick death and a ha ppy one,
A good girl and a pretty one,
A co.kl bottle and another one.

Say, why did Time,
His glass sublime,
Fill up with sand unsightly,
\.\Th en win e he kn ew
Runs brisker through
j\nd sparkles far more
brightly~
