A Contemporary has some remarks on
the custom of standing treat, so prev
alent in this country, aud advises its
readers to make resolution to discouu-
tenanee the custom by every means in
their power, without regard to the i'm
putation of meanness with which they
may be assailed. Itsays this is one OF
the most senseless humbugs of the age,
and man might as well feel obliged to
ask a casual acquaintance when he
meets him in shoe shop, to select COW
ering for his feet, as to feel bound to
ask him to drink when he meets him
In barroom. Our own opinion is that
the best way to settle the debate about
treatipg Is TO stop drinking.
