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 in nocence, the treasure of the humble, the wealth of the poor, the bead on the cup of pleasure ; it dispels de jection, banishes blues and mangles melancholy, for it’s the foe of w T oe. the destroyer of depression, the enemy of grief; it is what kings envy peasants, plutocrats enyy the poor, the guilty envy the innocent; it’s the sheen on the silver of smiles, the ripple on the waters of delight, The glint on the gold of gladness; without it humor would be dumb, it would wither, dimples would dis app 'Hr,and smiles would shrivel.for it’s the glow of a conscience, the voice of a pure soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan song cf sadness.
