A TOAST TO LAUGHTER.
Here's to laughter, the sunshine Of
the soul. the happiness OF the heart.
the leaven of youth. the privilege Of
purity. the echo OF innocence the
treasure of the humble. the wealth OF
the poor, the bead of the cup Of pleas
ure; 1t dispels detection. banishes blues.
and mangles melancholy; for it's the
foe of woe. the destroyer Of depression,
the enemy of grief; 1t Is what kings
envy the peasants, plutocrats envy
the poor, the guilty envy the innocent;
It's the sheen on the silver of smiles.
the ripple on the waters delight, the
CLINT of the gold of gladness; without
1t humor would be dumb. wit would
wither. dimples would disappear, and
smiles would shrivel. for it's the glow
of a clean conscience. the voice of a
pure soul, the birth cry of mtrth. the
swan-song of sadness. Laughter!--
Life.
