The advent of America, the history of the past century, has been the first general aperture and opening-up to the average human commonalty, on the broadest scale, of the eligibilities to wealth and worldly success and eminence, and has been fully taken advantage of; and the example has spread hence, in ripples, to all nations.
"To see you," cried he, "in the midst of those who could not be my well-wishers; to see your cousin close by you, conversing and smiling, and feel all the horrible eligibilities and proprieties of the match! To consider it as the certain wish of every being who could hope to influence you! Even if your own feelings were reluctant or indifferent, to consider what powerful supports would be his!
Yes, in God's truth, by excluding the devil from the theory of the universe by showing that evil is not a law in itself, but a sickness, a perversion of the good, and the other side of the good that in fact all of humanity, and of everything, is divine in its bases, its eligibilities."
And so good-bye to the war. To me the points illustrating the latent personal character and eligibilities of these States, in the two or three millions of American young and middle-aged men, North and South, embodied in those armies and especially the one-third or one-fourth of their number, stricken by wounds or disease at some time in the course of the contest were of more significance even than the political interests involved.

To these eligibilities to this limitless aperture, the race has tended, en-masse, roaring and rushing and crude, and fiercely, turbidly hastening and we have seen the first stages, and are now in the midst of the result of it all, so far. But there will certainly ensue other stages, and entirely different ones. In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
A man realizes the venerable myth he is a god walking the earth, he sees new eligibilities, powers and beauties everywhere; he himself has a new eyesight and hearing. The play of the body in motion takes a previously unknown grace. Merely to move is then a happiness, a pleasure to breathe, to see, is also.
A rich person ought to have a strong stomach. Curious as it may seem, it is in what are call'd the poorest, lowest characters you will sometimes, nay generally, find glints of the most sublime virtues, eligibilities, heroisms. Then it is doubtful whether the State is to be saved, either in the monotonous long run, or in tremendous special crises, by its good people only.
Truly, in color, outline, material and spiritual suggestiveness, where any more inclosing theme for idealist, poet, literary artist? A rare well-shadow'd hour! By no means the least of the eligibilities of the gather'd corn! Pick'd Noontime, early January, 1890
