Ottenheimer THE FAITHFUL, HUSBAND TOAST. Here's to my wife Wish her long life! She's mighty good looking, uarivaled at cooking; Know;? ail about medicine, as inventive sll Edison; Just plumb full of grit, has n® equal for wit; Sees the point when I joke, insists that smoke; Never chews the rag when I get, a jag; *3he knows how to sew, still calls me her. beau. Here's to the one that loves me best! Who shares with me my humble lot. Who's glad when I am glad And sorry when I am not; Who goes wherever I want t® go And never asks me why; Who does whatever I want him to, An*1 never told a lie! My dog. TO.THE STENOGRAPHER.

Here's hoping you may always have go©<3 health, A cosy home and a loving wife; And the necessary coin in your pocket To procure these luxuries of life. TO THE COLLEGE BOY. Here's to the College Boy!

Here's long life to the ©ffice boy! Who never smokes, chews or lies % Who's never late and never kicks; Whose grandmether never die?!

To our Fat Friends: May their shadows nevef grow less. from woman's eyes iMs doctrine I derive: They are the books, the arts, the academies, That's hows contain, and nourish all the world. —Shakespeare, To Murage: The happy estate which resembles a pair of shears; so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them. Yesterday, This Day's Madness did prepare, Tomorrow's Silence, Triumph or Despair. Drink! for you know not whence you came nor why; Prink! for you know not why you go nor where. —Omar Khayyam. Here's to the girl I love, I wish that she were nigh,; If drinking beer would bring her here, I'd drink the damn place dry.

White and Blue, They'll make all our icemen ." v%lk Spanish.** SIXTEEN YEAES AFTER. Knock and the world knocks with you, Boast and you boast alone. The bad old earth is a foe to mirth, And has a hammer as large as your own. Buy and the gang will answer, Sponge and they stand and sneer; The revelers joined to a joyous sound And shout from refusing beer. Be rich and the men will seek you, Poor, and they turn and go— You're a migt uy good fellow when you are mel- low, And your pockets are lined with dough. Be flush and your friends are many, Go broke and you lose them all. You're a dandy old sport at $4.00 a quart. But not if you chance to fall. Praise and the cheers are many, Beef and the world goes by, Be smooth and slick and the gang will stick As close as a hungry fly. There is always a crowd to help you A copious draught to drain, When the gang is gone you must bear alone The harrowing stroke of pain. s " THE CYPHER/' A place that is dear to true Bohemians— A place that exists in the hearts ~* those who love it, A place where hearts beat light, and hands grasp firm; Where poverty is no disgrace and charity does not eh ill; A place where kindred virtues have tied for refuge And Mrs. Grundy has no sway. THE SPHERE OF WOMAN- They talk about a woman's sphere 4s though it had a limit; There's not a place in earth or heaven. There's not a task to mankind given, There's not a blessing or a woe, There's not a whispered yes or no, There's not a life or birth, That has a feather's weight of worth—without ft woman in it. OUR ABSENT FRIENDS. Although out of sight, we recognize them wit! our glasses. OUR COUNTRY. To her we drink, for her we pray, Our voices silent never; For her we'll fight, come what eome may. The Stars and Stripes forever! Here's Champagne to our real friends. And real pain to our sham friends. Here's to the wings of love; May they sever moult a feathery Until your little barque and my little barque Sail dowa the stream of life together THE MAINE. A mighty nation mourns thee yet Thy gallant crew—their awful fate; And Justice points her finger straight, Lest we forget—lest we forget t HOME.

While we live, let's live in elover, For wkec we're dead, we're dead all over. Drink to Hie only with thine eyea, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss within tfee cuf>, And I'll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth risk Doth ask a drink divine; But might I ©I Jove'9 nectar sup, I would not change from thine. —Boa Johnsor Hera's t© vera, my dear, And to the dear that's »ot here, my dear, B«t if the dear that's not here, my dear, Were here, my dear, Yd not be drinking to you, my dear.

THE CYNICTS TOAST. Here's to the glass we so love to sip, It dries many a pensive tear; 'Tis not so sweet as a woman's lip, But a d----- sight more sincere. Here's to woman, whose heart and whose soul Are the light and the life of each spell we pur- sue; Whether sunn'd at the tropics or chilled at the pole, If women be there, there is happiness too. Thus ©ircling the eup, hand in hand, ere ^ drink, Let sympathy pledge us, through pleasure, through pain, 'Fh&t, last as feeling brat touches one link, H«r magic shall send it direct through the chain. —Thomas Moore* n ' Here's to the press, the pulpit and the. petti- coat, the three ruMag p®wei?s of the day. The nrst spreads kuowIe1%e> the se*©«d spreads mor'?. and the third spreads over a jaamltitude of sins. —Edg«rt©a Harvey; HOME. The place where you are treated best and grum- ble most. A fig" then for Burgpndy, Claret or Mountain, A few scanty glasses must limit your wish; But he's the true toper that goes to the fountain* The drinker that verily " drinks like a fish!" —Thomas Hood. Here's a sigh to those who love me, And a smile to those who hate; And whatever sky's above me, Here's a heart for every fate. Werc't the last drop in the well, As I gasped upon the brink, Ere my fainting spirit fell, Tis to thee that I would drink. —Lord Byron. You may run the whole gamut of color aud shade, A pretty girt—however you dress her— Is the prettiest thing that ever was made, A»4 tlm ia»t PR© is always the prettiest.

May good fortune follow you all your days, (And never catch up with you). —An Irishman's Toast. Let's be gay while we may, And seize love with laughter. I'll be true as long as you, And not a moment after. Here's to the man who loves his wife, And loves his wife alone, For many a man loves another man's wife, When he ought to be loving his own. Some hae meat and canna' eat, And some wad eat who want ii,, But we hae meat and we can eat, :k> kt the Lord be thankit. , —Buras* 85 Here's to one and only one.

May the sunshine of comfort dispel the clouds of despair. Success to our array, success to our fleet, May our foes be compelled to bow down at our * feet. The Frenchman loves his native wine, The German loves his beer, The Englishman loves his 'alf and 'aif, Because it brings good cheor; The Irishman loves his "whisky straight," Because it gives him dizziness; The American has no choice at all, So he drinks the whole d----- business. Here's to the girl that I love, And here's to the girl who loves me, And here's to all that love her whom I love, And all those that love her who loves me. Here's to the girl that's strictly in is, Who doesn't lose her head even for a minute, Plays well the game and knows the limit, And still gets all the fun there's in it.

Our drink shall be water, bright, sparkling with glee, The gift of our God, and the drink of the free.
