Of this class of workman it may be said quite as aptly as of the poet, that he is born, not made. The usual testimonies to qualification steadiness, sobriety, civility, intelligence, &c. may all be up to the mark that will constitute a first-rate book-keeper in the mercantile sense of the term, while they are united in a very dreary and hopeless keeper of books.
He rather revels in depicting horror and ugliness. But the other qualification of the poet, viz. a mastery of words, he possesses to a degree not surpassed by any Roman writer, and in intensity and terseness of language is perhaps superior to all. Not an epithet is wasted, not a synonym idle.
In New York the colored free men have the right to vote, providing they have a certain small property qualification, and have been citizens for three years in the State, whereas a white man need have been a citizen but for ten days, and need have no property qualification from which it is seen that the position of the negro becomes worse, or less like that of a white man, as the border of slave land is more nearly reached.
Previous to the revolution he had been laid on the shelf for cowardice in one of the engagements between the Dutch and the English, he being then a lieutenant on board of a two-decked ship, and of long standing in the service; but before he had been appointed to this vessel, he had served invariably in small craft, and his want of this necessary qualification had never been discovered.
The bargain which gave up Zanzibar to get Heligoland would never have been possible if our diplomacy had shown the same far-sightedness and intelligence as the English in economic questions, which I can only designate by the honourable title of a 'business-like spirit.

Therefore she drives in one more nail, to make sure, and drives it deep: "This By-law can neither be amended nor annulled, except by consent of the Pastor Emeritus." Let some one with a wild and delirious fancy try and see if he can imagine her furnishing that consent. Very properly, the first qualification for membership in the Mother-Church is belief in the doctrines of Christian Science.
And here is reason about to talk more masterfully still, you will see; but I suppose you will exonerate it, and blame me. Her. What can it be? I am surprised to hear it still has anything in reserve. Ly. It says that seeing and going through all philosophies will not suffice, if you want to choose the best of them; the most important qualification is still missing. Her. Indeed? Which? Ly.
"Yet you associate with that printer's devil." "I consider him a gentleman." Fletcher laughed scornfully. "You have strange ideas of a gentleman," he said. "I hold the same," said James Hooper, who had come up in time to hear the last portion of the conversation. "I don't think a full purse is the only or the chief qualification of a gentleman.
This chartered abuse connects the three biggest towns in France Paris, Lyon, Marseilles and is absolutely without competitors. It can do as it likes; and it does it, regardless I say "regardless," without qualification, because the P.L.M. regards nobody and nothing.
I have heard Miss Mercy say how much she wished there were some one to put those poor people in the right way. 'Yes; I hope that concentrated earnestness of attention may do something to make up for my deficiency in almost every other qualification, said James. 'At least, I feel some of the importance of the charge, and never was anything more welcome. 'And how did it happen?
