Few Words About Toasts.

0* N.Z. Tit-Bits. A O the Lady Rowena, |M«_fe daughter of Hengist, is due the immortal I honour of introducing a ifmoag the benighted dwellers |jin England two excellent I'institutions—viz., _ kissing land toasting.. As it is our Jospeak here of the latter, we L nothing of the former, except J dv Rowena bestowed a salute yiipsofVortigern,he-if old Ssspeaktrue-was ravished with J It was the same king whom Sp in a cup of wine. The rid not originate with her on lie for the Greeks and Romans Sit-the latter more especially. .Roman gallants were in the habit gg a glass of wine for every Sir lady's name. But Rowena .fc'arft Q? introducing it in Eng- Vtemt 'toast,' as applied to the frpfifcalths, took its rise from BKisal practice of putting toasted _or biscuit into the liquor. In jjlpjy Wives nf Windsor' is an #jQ the custom. Falstatf says toiolpn: jj»|t quart of sack; put a toast in I ' ■ idßacpp, Pope, and Warton also itfoit.and Rochester, in one of agaves a drinking cup— lisjjl that filled a sack m fte welling brim; mmts op the delicious lake file ships at sea to swim. ii#i'Gapfain Ratcliffe, evident, iijted by punch, published a JjjjjpjO'f Bacchanalia Celestia'- all the gods of in solemn conclave Mdandfest the value of punch, Me" toiowp, and a report of M reached them from earth, water from Parnassus : ilfonijnf lemons; Venus sugar, lis her pwn doves ; Bacchus i%sbrand,y; Saturn a few nut i-this ocean of liquid did crown itludibaked biscuit well baked liesnn. $i||i paper in the Tatler re !!»the term became synony- 'It happened fiiEnblic day,' he says, • a cele- of those times was in the '?$> ipdpneof the crowd of took a glass of water in one stood, and drank her iMiecprnpaay.

1 Gentlemen, where sticks the Minis try ?' lAh nothing !' was Burnett's cutting sarcasm. It is hard for the proposer or ac knowledger of such old toasts as ' The Army and Navy' to find anything really new to say, but a popular actor did once, when it fell to his lot, by some mischance, to propose the two services. He owned that he had never been in the army, but had been in many a mess, and the only chance he had ever had of entering the navy was when he very narrowly escaped going into the Fleet 1 Among those who followed Lord Brougham's father to the grave in 1782 was the then Duke of Norfolk, who acted as chief mourner, and took the chair at the funeral feast. After dinner was over tne duke rose and said : ( Friends and neighbours, before I give you the toast for the day—the memory of our departed friend—l ask you to drink to the health of the founder of the ifeast—the family physician, Dr Harrison.'

Sir Walter Scott, at a literary party, was pledged as the ' Colossus ot Litera ture, and replied by pledging another Scotchman, Macadam, the road im prover, as the ' Colossus of Roads.' Sir William Curtis, a well-known City magnate, was once present at a public dinner given to the Dukes of York and Clarence. The president coupled the two royal guests together, and proposed their joint healths as * The Adelphi '—(the Greek word for 1 the brothers'). When it came to the worthy, but ill-informed, baronet's turn to propose a toast, he said : ' As you seem inclined, Mr President, to give public buildings, I beg leave to propose Somerset House. A very popular toast is ' Wine and Women,' and it is invariably drunk with acclamation by the benchers of a certain Inn of Court. At a dinner given a few years back the chairman announced that he thought the toast could be drunk in terms complimentary to the profession, and therefore begged to give them 'Lush and Shee'(two eminent lawyers). A benighted man at a bachelor's party proposed, as a variation of the 'The Ladies/ 'Our Future Wives distance lends enchantment to the view.' We make no doubt this addenda would have been appreciated by the old fogey who, having escaped < the sweet briars in the garden of life,' proposed,' Woman—the morning star ot infancy, the day star of manhood, the evening star of age. Bless our stars, and may they always be kept at a telescopic distance.' For ourselves, we prefer the sentiment embodied in the old Scotch couplet:

May we all be canty and cosy, And ilka hao a wife in bis hosy.
