It is a curious physiological fact that I have been puzzled by for
several years past, and which I am only half able to explain or account
for, that _flashing_ eyes have almost disappeared from off the face of
the earth. You may see many sorts of eyes--eyes of various shades of
colour and various shapes--eyes that glitter, that gleam, that sparkle,
that shine, that stare, that blink; even eyes that are guilty of the
vulgarity of winking; but eyes that flash with the fire and flame of
wrath, and scorn, and scorching indignation--such as once or twice
I have cowered and trembled under when I was young--such eyes have
passed away; the passion in them has been absorbed in

 are only prospective owner of neckcloth -- being _ only _ prospective owners,

 you take from them nothing that they ever had. All that will happen to 
 them will be that they will be salvage from cherishing delusive hopes, 
 such as should never have been aroused in them. The scales will drop

 will speedily rise to a true conception of the dignity of citizenship, 
 and grow to the stature of a loftier humanity, whose destiny who shall
