Woman—She needs no eulogy—she speaks for herself. Woman—The fairest work of the great Author; the edition is large and no man should be without a copy. May the sunshine of plenty dispel the clouds of care. May we be wiser today than we were yesterday, and tomorrow than we are today. May those who are discontented with their own country leave their country for their country's good. The good die young—Here's hoping that you may live to a ripe old age. If you leave a kiss within the glass I'll not ask for wine. Champagne for our real friends and real pain for our sham friends. Home—The place you are treated best and grumble most. Drink no longer water, but use a lit tle wine for the stomach's sake. In climbing the hill of prosperity may you never meet a friend. May the hinges of friendship never grow rusty. Our Country—^May she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong.—Decatur. May we have more friends and need them less and less. The Americans' triumvirate—love, honor and liberty. Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. We will not ask her name.—Byron. Chess-like, a successful courtship ends by mating. Here's to our wives and sweethearts; may they never meet. In poker, like a glass of beer, you draw to fill. May we always have a head to earn and a heart to spend. May we never crack a Joke or break a reputation. May the devil cut the toes of all our foes, that we may know them by their limping. May foreign fashions never corrupt American manners. Here's to Love, the only fire against which there is no insurance. Our Country—May there be no North, no South, no East, no West, but only one broad, beautiful, united, glorious land. Where's the coward who would not dare to fight for such a land—Our Country! Here's to the health of everybody, lest somebody should feel himself slighted.

Place the orange peel in a bottle, which will hold a quart with the whis key; cork tightly and let the contents remain for 12 days, shake the bottle frequently.

TOASTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS To our absent friends—Although out of sight, we recognize them with our glasses.
