Tire Difference Between Agreeable and Dis
agreeable People.

dErtodbio AtppAcs
The chief difference between agreeable and
disagreeable people in this world between
those whom everybody loves and those who
are loved by nobody-is in the place given by
them respectively to self in their thoughts. in
their words, and in their actions Those per
sons who give the first place TO themselves in
their intercourse with others cannot well be
pleasing 10 others. And those persons who
lovingly give the first place to those whom
they meet cannot be generally disagreeable,
whatever they say or do.
If a person thinks Of himself, thinks Of what
he can say o. himself. thinks of what the other
is likely to think o1him. thinks of the i'm
preston he viii make on the other, he is sure
to stand in his own light. when he meets an
other But if he thinks first Of the other per-
son. thinks of the others good side, thinks
Of what ne can say that will crafty the other
or that will help the other, and if he speaks
and acts accordingly, he is sure TO be a means
of light and cheer TO others.
