Here it is in the Gaelic and the Saxon:-- _Gaelic._ So! Nish! Nish! Sud ris! Sud ris! Thig ris! Thig ris! A on uair eile! _Translation._ Prepare! Now! Now! Yon again! Yon again! At it again! At it again! Another time, or one cheer more! The reader is to imagine these words uttered with yells and vociferations, and accompanied with frantic gestures.
The system of giving toasts was so regularly established, that collections of them were published to add brilliancy to the festive board.

By the kindness of the librarian, I have seen a little volume which is in the Signet Library of Edinburgh.

It is entitled, "The Gentleman's New Bottle Companion," Edinburgh, printed in the year MDCCLXXVII.

It contains various toasts and sentiments which the writer considered to be suitable to such occasions.

Of the taste and decency of the companies where some of them could be made use of, the less said the better.
I have heard also of large traditionary collections of toasts and sentiments, belonging to old clubs and societies, extending back above a century, but I have not seen any of them, and I believe my readers will think they have had quite enough.
The favourable reaction which has taken place in regard to the whole system of intemperance may very fairly, in the first place, be referred to an improved _moral_ feeling.
