The more difficulty there is in creating good men, the more they are used when they come. I once counted in a little neighborhood and found that every able-bodied man had say from twelve to fifteen persons dependent on him for material aid, to whom he is to be for spoon and jug, for CONSIDERATIONS BY THE WAY 251 backer and sponsor, for nursery and hospital and many functions beside : nor does it seem to make much difference whether he is bachelor or patriarch ; if he do not violently decline th...e duties that fall to him, this amount of helpful ness will in one way or another be brought home to him. This is the tax which his abilities pay. The good men are employed for private centres of use, and for larger influence. All revelations, whether of mechanical or intellectual or moral science, are made, not to communities but to single persons. 1 Ail the marked events of our day, all the cities, all the colonizations, may be traced back to their origin in a private brain. All the feats which make our civility were the thoughts of a few good heads.
