A feast is made for laughter - The object of it is to produce merriment, to banish care and concern of every kind. But who are they who make and frequent such places? Epicures and drunkards generally; such as those of whom Horace speaks:
Nos numerus sumus, et fruges consumere nati.
Epist. lib. i., ep. 2, ver. 27.
“Those whose names stand as indications of men, the useless many; and who appear to be born only to consume the produce of the soil.”
But money answereth all - This saying has prevailed everywhere.
