Here's to the press, the pulpit and the petticoat, the three ruling powers of the day. The first spreads knowledge, the second spreads morals, and the third spreads considerably.
The Lord gave teeth to men, that they might eat,
And then, to use them on, he gave us meat;
But here's a health to that great man who took
And brought the two together—to the cook!
Family Dinner Toast.
Here's a toast to the host who carved the roast; And a toast to the hostess—may none ever "roast" us.
Ladies' Toast.
The soldiers of America.
Their arms our defense, our arms their reward;
Fall in, men, fall in.
