Show Here's to Laughter. Here's to laughter, the sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart, the leaves of youth, the privilege of purity, the echo of Innocence, the treasure of the humble, the wealth of the poor, the head of the cup of pleasure, pleas-ure, exclaims a writer in the New York Herald. It dispels dejection, banishes blues and mangles melancholy, melan-choly, for it's the foe of woe, the destroyer de-stroyer of depression, the enemy of grief; it is what makes kings envy peasants, plutocrats envy the poor, the guilty envy the innocent; it's the sheen on the silver of smiles, the ripple rip-ple on the water's delight, the glint of the "gold of gladness; without it humor would be cfumb, wit would wither, dimples would disappear and smiles would shrivel, for it's a glow of a clean conscience, the voice of a pure soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan song of sadness. |
