Miscellany.
Origin of TOasts.

The London Athen@um gives the follow
ing as the origin of the custom of toasts:
Originally the toast" was material, and
had nothing to do with, sentiment. 1t was
the bit of Drowned biscuit which floated on ey-
cry flowing bowl of Punch. In King Will
liam's or Queen Anne's days, as the fashion
able loungers in the great bath, in the city of
Bladud. whore flirting in the hot water, or
taking their chocolate on the floating cork
slabs, or reading the Gazette as they sat on
the invisible seats in the water, they were
startled and delighted by the apparition OF
fair nymDh who entered the bath in the most
coquettish of dresses, and looking as glorious
as Amplitude herself when she elided along
the deep. The fine gentleman, especially,
did her nonor, according to the rough humor
OF the times. They dipped their cups into
the water nearest where the delighted
nymph herself stood and drank the
liquid off to her honor and glory. Among
the eager lookers-on from the gallery
was young fellow in the most resplendent
OF birthday suits, patch, powder and sword.
and drawing the latter, he exclaimed, with
all the figures and flowers OF liberal speech
then in common use, that he didn't care
.ico for the liquor, but that he resolved to
have a taste OF the toast in it. This was
meant for the lady in the bath, whom the
rude gallant thus likened to the brown bis
cult that in those days crowned the punch.
As the speaker looked as if he were about
to put his speech into action, there was a
general scattering of the nymphs of The
stream, with attendant screams and breath
less pauses in flight, as much inviting pur-
suit as they seemed to dread it; and there
was calling Of the beaux Cor their swords,
and scrambling preparation to defend the
lady from that loud voiced gallant. He, the
while, staggered saIcily off to the Kings
Mead, where nobody troubled him; but the
story spread through the city, and from that
day the word ''toast' was applied to lady
to whom drinking honors were rendered, till
it gradually came to mean the words in which
the honor was paid"

The Victim.

The blcttHs
by ALFRED rENNYsoN POET LAUREATE
lTrom Good Words for January,l
A plague upon the people teli
A famine after laid them low.
Then thorpe and byre arose IN hre,
For On them brake the sudden foe;
So thick they died the people cried
"The Gods are moved against the land"
The priest in horror about his altar
To Thor and Odin lifted hand.
Help us from famine
And plague and strife!
What would you have OF us?
Human life?
Were it our nearest,
Were it our dearest,
(Answer, O answer
We give you his life.
But still the foeman spoiled and burned,
And cattle died, and deer in wood,
And bird in air, and fishes turned
And whitened all the rolling flood;
And dead mon lay all over the way,
Or down in furrow scathed with fame;
And ever and aye the Priesthood moaned,
Till at last it seemed that an answer came:
"The King is happy
In child and wife;
Take you his nearest,
Take you his dearest,
Give us a ife."
The Priest went out by heath and hill,
The King was hunting in the wild;
They found the mother sitting still;
She cast her arms about the child.
The child was only eight summers DID,,
His beauty still with his years increased,
His face was ruddy, his hair was gold, ,.
He seemed a victim due to the friess'
The Priest exulted,
And cried with JOY,
Here is his nearest,
Here is his dearest,
We take the boy"
w.
The King returned from out the wild,
He bore but little game in hand;
The mother said, "They have taken the child
To spill his blood and heal the land;
The land is sick, the people diseased,
And blight and famine on the lea;
The holy Gods, they must be appeased,
So / pray you tell the truth to me.
They have taken our son,
They will have his life,
Is he your nearest?
Is he your dearest?
(Answer, o answer)
Or I, the wIfe?"
The King bent low, with hand on brow,
He stayed his arms upon his knee;
20 wife, what use to answer now?
For now the Priest has judged for me-"
The King was shaken with holy fear;
"The Gods" he said, "would have chosen well /;
Yet both are near and both are dear,
And which the dearest cannot tell"
But the Priest was happy,
His victim won. "
I'VE have his dearest,
His only sonp'

The rites prepared, the victim barred,
The knife uprising toward the blow,
To the altar stone she sprang alone,
"Me, me, not him, my darling, mol"
He caught her away with sudden cry;
Suddenly from him brake the wife,
And shrieking II am his dearest, T.
I am his dearestn' rushed on Il knife.
And the Priest was happy.
