Manly Friendship.
Friendship between men, when it deserves the name, is the slow growth of mutual respect, is of a nature calm and simple, professes nothing and exacts nothing, is, above all, careful to be considerate in its expectations, and to keep at a distinct distance from the romantic, the visionary and the impossible. The torrid zone, with its heats and its tempests, is left to the inexperience of youth, or to the love that exists between the sexes; the temperate, with its sunshine, its zephyrs, cheerful noon and calm evening, is the proper and the only region of manly friendship.—Professor Smyth.
