whom we may treat not ooly with less ceremony than we do others bat with less justice as well to presume apon the good nature of a friend is one ot ttufniost insidious of all the temp tations with which weak and oeble human nature is blest and it is one of the most frequently successful ones t wa are all of us likely to be guilty in this respect so it is hardly safe for any man to begin on this score to fling stones at bis neighbor it is so easy to excuse oarselves for wrong which are not resented tbat sometimes one wonders whether after all conscience is noti at least thee parts of five retpect for somebodys opinion of us and the worst of this is that we almost inevitably respect our friend somewhat less for submitting to our ulosage of him we do him little injustices triflings which ho ia too fond of us to resent even when he feels them and oat of bis generosity we make an excuse for holding him of less ac count and consequently for loving him leas and imposing upon him more this is often tfca history of the course of married life one or the other of the couple yields too much and too often moved by over much affection to gin iway and the result is that he or she wins only a more or less conscious contempt the truth that even in friendship wb are all human and it is well to reflect that if one desires to hold the regard of his friend it is necessary to hold also his re
