Making Presents.

The custom Of making presents tC
relatives and other friends is becoming
more general every year, and this is
certainly an evidence Of an advancing
civilization and refining culture. An
utterly selfish person never thinks Of
stfch thing as making any one around
him or dependant upon him, happy, by
a seasonable, well chosen present. 1t
is just here that wealthy people, as a
rule, deny themselves one of the sweet.
est pleasures of life. He who has not
yet learned, practically, that it is more
blessed to giUe than to receive, has
made but little advance in the higher
life.
If presents should serve q good pur-
pose with the recipients and be Source
of satisfaction to the giver, it is neces-
sary that some discretion be exercised
in the manner of bestowal. as well as
in the selection. The relation and
means of the giver, the necessities or
tastes, age or condition, of the receiver
should all be considered In making pre-.
