We cannot know whom we would, and those whom we know, we cannot have at our side when we moSt need them . Yet there is a soceity continually open to us, of people who will talk to us as long as we like '-- talk to us in the best words they can choose, and of the things nearest their hearts . And this soceity , because it is so numerous and so gentle , and can be kept waiting round us all day long, - kings and statesmen lingering patiently , not to grant audience, but to gain it !
In those plainly furnished and narrow anterooms, our bookcase shelves --- we make no account of that company , perhaps never listen to a word they would say, all day long !
