In the following advice. which we find in
y Ts4se e ris ri bbii}, btbiinf} t!ff !f1H Hrteef ffapSeet e
suggestions Which few can ponder without
profit:
IF you want to be happy. never ask a
favor. Give rs many as you can. and il
any are freely offered. it is not necessary
to be too proud to take them; but never
ask tor or stand waiting for any. Who
ever asked favor at the right time: 10
be refused is a wOeful stab to ones pride.
1t is even worse than to havea favor grant
ed hesitatingly. We suppose that out of
Il hundred who petition for the least thing
it it be an hour of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
wish. with burning cheeks and aching
hearts. they had not done so. Don't ask
f,vors OF your nearest friend. Do every
thing for yourself until you drop. and then
if anyone picks you up. let it be OF his own
free choice. not from any groan you utter.
But while you can stand, be Il soldier.
Eat your own crust, rather than feast on
another's dainty meals; drink cold water
rather than anOther's wine. The world is
full of people asking tavors, and people tire
of granting them. Love or tenderness
should never be put aside, when it is full
hands are stretched towards you; but as
few love. SO few are tender; favor asked
is apt TO be milestone around your neck,
even if you gain the thing you want by the
asking. AS you cast your bread upon the
water. and it returns, SO will the favOrs
you ask. if unwillingly granted, come back
to you When yOu least expect or desire.
Favors conceded upon solicitation are
never repaid. They are more costly in the
end than overdue usllrers' bills.''
