To wish you at tips season All the drinking within reason And a morning after without pain. / ; With the bottles clinking daily May you spend your leisure gaily In an alcoholic haze. May the New Year fill your cel- \ ■lars And help your meet Jbright fellers ~ ,To enjoy with you the beery 0 days. JOHN BARLEYCORN. Thanks, J.B. We have no desire to spend our leisure in the “alcoholic haze” you mention, but we do appreciate the kindly wish. Perhaps we should say “same to you?’’ Editor.
