H1CU RELATIONS. Poor friends are a calamil; bat a calamity not without side. Their dependence gives ottA a sense not altogether unpleasant as being of importance in the world; of a posi tion on a pinnacle, whence one looks down, all insensibly, but positively iqion inferior creatures below. Now, with rich relations tho positions arc reversed, and then—ah, oue tinds it not only more blessed, but far more agreeable to give than to receive. There is -Heaven’s Cl lessing be upon thorn!—many a gra cious Lady Bountifot-ami gciiefons Hir~ Galahad in this world of ours. But it is no easy thing to bestow a gift with so line an air that the giver may seem tlio favored one, or the act of kindness so slight as not to merit recognition. And few. indeed, there are who do it. To most rich and generous folk the outcoyne of their giving sbems a sense that they buy, body and soul,' tho friend their bounty beneiis, and then they look for gratitude forsooth! As though a salesman should expect one to say "thank you kindly,’’ when one lays down largess in exchange for goods. They give, yes, abundantly, as it has been given them. But. when they ex pect in return devotion, absolute and entire; willing service, thoughtful can*, they should not ask. too, lor thauks. They give of their own; the recipients of theirs, and neither side may justly think of gratitude. Another most unpleasant phase in the relations of rich to |K>or, is that they too often bestow without thought or care as to whether the gift be appropriate or ua Sometimes a wealthy couple will ohoose one to be their favorite, out of a large and imjiecunious family; not to take her absolutely to themselves, but to turn her head with luxurious living and inappropriate dress, and,«ftcr long visits which untit her for the simple home life, send her back to an essential ly false position. She has a vague feel ing of shame when she walks in the ele gance uutilting her age U*«ide her plainly dressed sisters, and b-e!* a hot flush mount to ber cheeks as she m ex curious eyes note the difference in their attire.
