lowing tosst was given by Mr.. L. b. Haskell,

TOAST.
Fill up your glasses stand ready to clipk;
I'll give you a toast you all can drink
will give you THE boys who used to be here, ~
The years roll round and youth must fsde; Y
Old Time with his scythe, never rests on his raid
He cuts OF our hopes, and he mows OF our hair,
But hearts still are true to the names written
there. .s
They respond to the touches Of pleasure and palm
Bot they yibrate the best when you sweep them
with The mem ries of days that have been len
behind, .r.
Aud the voices Of friends ever welcome and kind.
Ali the boys who were here, they are scattered
afar-
Honored in peace and honored in war
And souls that we loved have assembled to God
From the bed Of the patriot under the sod.
The lesson give you In these poor rhymes
Is 10 cherish the friends Of our earlier times;
with q dirge for the dead, for the living cheer,
give you THE boys who used to be here.''
