Il is best never % accept faxors from any

It is best never TO accept fayors from any
o7e, if you can help it. When compelled,
don't let them be repeated. Not only is the
sense of obligation unpleasant; but the best
of those who extend favors, even though un-
asked, are liable to presume upon them, or
at any rate to think less Of you for accept
ing them. In nine cases out of ten. the prof.
fer is insincere-simply matter of polite
ness, and we all know what politeness in gen.
eral is meant for. An old friend used to tell
US of neighbor OF his who, better off then
he in this worlds goods, told him if his sick
wife wished ever to ride out, to be sure and
send for bis carriage-it would afford him all
sorts of pleasure to be the means of affording
recreation to one of whom be thought SO much.
Pressed in this wise repeatedly, he feared it
he did not do as requested be wonld hurt the
feelings of bis kind neighbor; SO he sent one
day for the carriage. He didn't get it; he
sent second time, and didn't get it. Meet
ing with the owner subsequently he asked
the reason2'I never loan my carriage" was
the response. You offered it to me-" aYes,
that was polite. You don't know the differ
ence between politeness and reality"
