Geeat Men-.—A great man is not necessarily the most pleasant of companions. Mihon is a sublime poet, but we are not quite sure that a week spent in. Ms company would have been remembered with unalloyed pleasure. Coleridge, it is just possible, might bare wearied us with Ms unceasing talk; and Wordsworth, though, a good nan and a noble poet, did aot, we must believe, always act the part • of a host with entire satisfaction to his guests. It is not given to every dis : tinguished man to make himself, like Sir Walter Scott, as much beloved as he is admired; and it is not every writer, howerer admirable and accomplished, who can make his readers his friends, and bring them, as it were, into cousinly ' relationship with himself. This is what Addiaon and Steele have done, and this is why we feel io much at home in their company. Goodness, Milton tells us, is awful; Dut Addison's goodness has in it a grace and sweetness, a gentleness* and almost womanliness of tone, which forbid the I seme of awe.-—Cornhill Magazine. . ' ' W.
