When the gentleman who had been designated to respond to the toast of "Tlie United States" had completed his remarks he called upon those present to drink "to the prosperity of the great American republic, bounded on the north by the Dominion of Canada and on the south by Mexico; on tbe east by the Atlantic and on the west by the Pacific ocean." Another gentleman, carried away by the whirlwind of patriotic enthusiaui, leaped to his feet and again proposed the toast of the United States of America, "bounded on tire north by the North pole and on the south by the South pole; 011 ^ ? n/1 am flin Lilt: CUbL UJ 111C uuvt vu vuv west by the setting sun." When the laughter and the applause had died away there arose at the far end of the table a little old gentleman unknown to the others present. "Fellow-citizens," he exclaimed in a shrill and squeaky voice, "I beg you fill your glasses and drink ouoe more to the prosperity of our glorious American motherland; bounded on the north by the aurora boreal is and on the south by the precession of the pleiades; on the east by primeval rhfioa and on the west bv the dav of J */ judgment."
