May love, like wine, improve as Time advances,
May we always have old wines, old friends and young cares.

'Twas nectar fed
Of old, 'tis said,
Their Junos, Joves, Apollos;
And man may brew
His nectar too,
The rich receipts as follows:
Take wine like this,
Let looks of bliss
Around it well be blended;
Then bring wit's beam
To warm the stream,
And there's your nectar, splendid!
So, wreathe the bowl
With flowers of soul
The brightest wit can find us;
We'll take a flight
Towards heaven tonight,
And leave dull earth behind us!

--_Thomas Moore._

BON VOYAGE.

May every joy the traveler knows,
Be yours upon the trip,
May favoring winds fill out your sails
And safely speed your ship.

May rest and recreation bring
Their meed of health and strength
While under alien skies you roam,
Then homeward turn at length.

* * * * *

To those who have passed me on the highway and gave greeting,
To the possible friends who have come my way, whose eyes lingered as
they fell on mine,
May they ever be eager with youth, and strong with fellowship
May they never miss a welcome or want a comrade.

--_Marie McGee._

Here's to man, God's first thought.
Here's to woman, God's second thought
As second thoughts are best--
Here's to woman.
Drink, for you know not
Whence you came nor why;
Drink, for you know not why
You go, nor whence.

--_Omar Khayyam._

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.
