The Custom of Treating.
I By REV. THos. X. BEECHER.

II / could persuade all the young
people of Elmira never to treat each
other, nor be treated, think one half OF
the danger from our strong drink would
be gono If l cannot get you to sign
the total abstinence pledge, binding un
til you are 35, / would be glad to have
you promise three things: First, never
TO drink on the sly, alone; second, never
to drink socially, treating or being trea-
ted; third, when you drink, do it openly,
and in the presence of some man or wo-
man whom you respect.
Now, boys, if you wish to be generous
and treat each other, why not seiect
some other shop beside the liquor shopH
Suppose as you go by the post Office,
you say, "Come, boys, come in and take
some stamps" These stamps will do
your friends real good, and will cost
you no more than drinks all around.
Or GO by the tailor's store and say,
"Boys, come in and take a box of collars. u
Walk up to the counter, free and gener-
Gus, and say, "What style will you hayeY
Why not treat to collars as well as treat
to drinks? Or go by confectioners and
propose to chocolate drops all round
Or say, "I'll stand a jack-knife al
round"
How does it happen that we have fal
len into habit almost compulsory, O.
social drinking? You drink many time
when asked to, when really you do MOI
want to. When o man has treated you
you feel mean and indebted, and keep {
sort of account current in your mint
and treat him. And so in the use o
just that agent, which at the very bes
is dangerous one, you Join hand il

OF hand in hand to help each other t,

A "Liberal Republican, Candidate.

The persistence of the Argus in paradine
the silly misnomer of "Liberal Republican
and Democratic candidate for Governor -
which LesIie's Illustrated Paper attached
to MIR. Kimball, shows the effort which is
constantly made by the Democrats to delude
people of other States into the notion that
there is such thing in Maine as 'cLiberal
Republican party" There are a number OF
individuals, not exceeding five hundred in
number, in the State, nearly every one Oh
whom has sore spot on the head which can
easily be pointed out, who callthemselves Glib
eral Republicans" and these fellows will gen.
orally vote for Mr.. Kimball, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, whose special friends
seem greatly in love with the name of Glib
eral Republican" candidate.
Are these gentlemen ashamed of the name
Democratic candidate ?" or do they ser-
ously suppose that they can catch any consid-
cradle number of Republican gudgeon3 with
such very transparent bait? No, Messieurs
Democrats, you have got about all YOU will
have of the Republicans, and precious LOT
they are-the very riff-raff of the party. to
which you are heartily welcome. You could
have had them at any time for their price,
and you needn't sugar-coat your pill for their
hardened gullets-and you mmst be little
cautious, too, lest in your desperate efforts to
conceal the fact that you are Democrats, you
disgust some of your own old relations, who
may prefer to vote for an open, straightfor-
ward Republican, rather than Democrat
who is ashamed of being such.
