near him The above is supstan-
italy report of part OF the pro
lceedings incident to the coming TO
town of man, just man. l olo
mot witness the comedy but having
Iheen a spectator of similar mani
festations of that inexplicable ele-
ment in so many human characters
which accuses the edification of poor
weak. faulty. sinful man, am
Iconfiden. the report is an accurate
description of the scramble to touch
the body supposed to be the habitat
of a great soul. The meaning OF
the words of the text is that the IN
diyidual referred to extended the
Itentacles hanging from both the
right and left corner of his anat-
tomv for the worshipping throng TO
fondle.
In the generation OF electricity
positive and a negative are employ
ed and the result is speed, light and
power. In human nature there is
positive and negative individual
ties, mentally, morally and phys
ically. When the mental positive
force comes in contact with the neg
alive force the departments of the
Icerebrum become active, thought is
| generated, reason mounts her throne
and assumes her scepter and directs
1.-THE movements of the body. The
| contact of the positive moral force
with the negative sets in motion
those indefinable, spiritual elements
of human nature whose exercise to
| a high degree leads to noble self
sacrifices, a walk and talk of godli-
the ways OF life. One Of the most
powerful elements in human ma
ture and the least susceptible of ra-
tional explanation is physical hui
man magnetism. An orator may be
an Apollo in form and feature, his
logic may be of the most convincing
type, his gestures may be according
to the latest and most approved del
sarte mode, his rhetoric may be alb
soluteiy faultless, his words may
of honey over an inclined plane, his
infection may be without a flaw; he
may possess all the prerequisite ac-
complishments of a finished and
trained orator but his influence
upon the majority of his hearers Sc
lected at random from all classes
of men will fall flat unless he pos
sesses that indefinable yet all pow
erful quality, human magnetism. II
