It shows him how to accommodate himself to others, how to throw him- self in to their state of mind, how to bring before them his own, how to influence them, how to come to an understanding with them, how to bear with them. He is at home in any society, he has common ground with every class, he knows when to speak and when to be silent, he is able to converse, he is able to listen, he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonably, when he has nothing to impart himself, he is ever ready, yet never in the way, he is a pleasant companion, and a comrade you can depend upon, he knows when to be serious and when to trifle, and he has a sure tact which enables him to trifle with graceful- ness and to be serious with effect.
