THE TABLET. No. CXVIII.
" There are fame per forts whose congeniality ofcharader is such, that
they need only to fee each other toJom immediately theJlrideJ} intimacy."
THOSE circumstances in which men resemble each other are
not more numerous or more evident, than those in which they
d ifagree. The poinu of refcmblance are fufEcient to designate the
human race from any other class of beings, arid to give them a
fpecific chara&er. The great outlines of human natiTre are so con
stant and uniform, that we can never mistake them, however they
may be modified by climate or education. But though we ire in
no danger of millaking any part of our Ipecies through a want of
obvious similarity; we are (till liable to strong antipathies, from
various instances of diftimilarity. Some men appear to be like the
reft of their species in very few refpe&s. There is so little con
geniality of ch.)rafter between them and other men, that they can
never form any intimacy or acquaintance. Thiscircumftatvcefim
plydoesnot prove a man to be belter or worse than the general
run of mankind : Itonlyfhews that he hat too strong peculiari
ties to authorize an high degree of intimacy.
Why has one person a great number of intimate aflociates, while
another has few or none? This may happen where both sustain a
reputation equally fair ; and where both are situated equally fa
vorable to cultivate friendlhip. It is becauie one person more
than another finds his character congenial to those with whom he
may chance to be acquainted. Some men can make an intimate
companion of almost any person whom accident may throw in
thyr way. We denominate such very familiar men. They have
tio peculiarities of difpofitiort to make them critical in the choice
of theit aflociates; nor have they anjNfingularities of charackr to
make them disgusting to others. Meiri>f such an easy temper and
accomraodatiiigmanners pass through the world, without ever be
ing ipuch refpeQed, or much hated. But there are persons of a
different (lamp who can find none, with whom they can eafilyaf
fimilate. They are exactly the reverse of what I have just called
familiar men. A refcrved disgust most commonly happens from
a want of congeniality of character. If this is a prevailingquality
in any individual it is an evidence, not that he is a bad or a good
man, bat that the impulses «f his foul do not vibrate m sympathy
with those of other people.
