What Shall We Drink? To hospitality, the sweetest thing that ever graced a honael

Here's to the girlie who isn't too wise, Or hides all her wisdom behind her two eyes!

May your mirror never reflect a sorrow!

Here's to man from morning to night. Here's to the man with courage to fight.

The courage to fight and the courage to live— The courage to learn and to love and forgive. —Anon To woman—the masterpiece! —Confucius To women, God bless them—even if they damn us!

Here's to mothers—the guideposts to Heaven!

—Meusa

Here's to the maid ye love, my lads. And here's to her promise true. And here's to the blue of the sky in her eye And the print of her tiny shoe! I drink to her sunny hair, my lads, I drink to her lips rose red. The lass you love is the world to you When all's been done and said!

—Robert Emmet Mac Alarney

To our wives, whom we may notknow so well,but who know us perfectly! Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be right;,but our country right or wrong! —Stephen Decatur America and England:and maythey never have any division but the Atlantic between them! —Charles Dickens That government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth! —Abraham Lincoln
