The popular character is but a poorish type, The greatest qualities are absolacely fatal tovat. Yet a certain stigwa is affixed to a man w he is described as not being a general favor. ite, as not being universally liked, as being a littl: aupopular, as not having many friends. The trath perhaps is that, it a man can be vothing else, then the least that he can do ig _to make himself popular. [f you area genius , or the benefactor of your race, thea the world will graciously forgive you for having many enemies and only few friends. But, short of this, it is @ man’s daty to cultiyace ail sorts of social virtues and little social artifices.
