PLEASANT GAP.
E. C. Mease and wife, of Tyrone,
spent the week-end with his sister,
Mrs. E. K. Keller.
W. H. Ott and wife, of Bellefonte,
spent Sunday at the home of E. K. Kel-
ler and wife, Mrs. Ott’s parents.
Our practical butcher, Joseph Lex,
has reopened his meat market. Joseph
handles only the choicest government
inspected meats, the kind appreciated
by his numerous friends and patrons.
Rev. Noll and wife, accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Herman, spent a
very pleasant Sunday at the home of
Dr. P. H. Shelly, at Port Royel. It
will be remembered that Dr. Shelly
and his estimable wife resided in
Pleasant Gap some years ago. The
doctor had built up a very lucrative
practice here, but owing to his fath-
er’s extensive practice at Port Royal
the younger Mr. Shelly was called
there to take charge, the elder Shelly
retiring from the profession.
Personal magnetism is a subject
worthy of our most careful considera-
tion. There is a subtle, mysterious
influence about some persons that is
truly remarkable. One of the singu-
lar features about it is that those pos-
* sessing it have little or no control over
it, and those affected by it have no
power to resist it. What this power
is, or whence it comes. is the mystery.
Its effects are so clearly marked that
there is no doubting the senses. Were
these effects always agreeable, there
might be some grounds for thinking
they are partly due, at least, to the
desire to be so affected. It is gener-
ally believed that mind has influence
over mind independent of the persons
concerned.
A great many say they can feel the
presence of certain ones without see-
ing or knowing that they are near.
Thus it may be traced down to what
is generally called like or dislike. You
like certain ones because their pres-
ence is agreeable, and you dislike cer-
tain others because theirs is disagree-
able. Then there are others whom
you neither like nor dislike. Every
Damon has his Pythias. In other
words, every individual has some
friend to whom he is closely attached.
The ties are not those of consanguin-
ity, yet they are strong and binding.
It often occurs that these purely
friendly ties are stronger than those
of blood. The plain truth is that there
is often less mutual affection between
members of the same family than be-
tween comparative strangers. A
sense of duty usually prompts men to
prefer their brothers in matters of
mutual interest, but they rarely pre-
fer each other’s society; so rare, in-
deed, that when they do, they are
pointed out as freaks of nature. To
a great many it looks rather silly to
see brothers running around together
and acting as intimate friends are
wont to act.
It is generally supposed that twins
are devotedly attached to each other,
but such is not the case. Even the
Siamese twins were constantly quar-
reling, and had it been possible to get
away from each other, they would
have done so most cheerfully. Occa-
sionally twin brothers are found who
apparently are only happy in each
other’s presence. Such instances are
rare, however. Scientists call it mag-
netism, spiritualists say it is affinity
of soul, but those who have it do not
bother themselves about its nature or
cause, being satisfied with the effect.
It is the same influence that renders
preachers, actors and lecturers popu-
lar. To think that the success of
those before the public is due to what
they say, or the way they say it, is a
mistake. It is this mystery power,
and it makes little difference about
the elocution, the quality of voice, or
the nature of the discourse. Some of
the most popular actors have marked
defects in voice. The uncultured
preacher, one who has never seen the
inside of a college, very often preach-
es all around those who are accounted
profound scholars. Noted revivalists
possess this power in a greater or less
degree, according as they are more or
less successful. The famous, brilliant
and magnetic divine, Dr. Sunderland,
the elder, was so wonderfully en-
dowed with this power, that he quit
preaching on account of it. He feared
that persons were drawn into the
folds of the church through his influ-
ence who did not realize what they
were doing. He is said to have been
able to direct the actions of persons
simply by his will power, and that

without the aid of words or signs.
The late Henry Ward Beecher pos-
sessed the same power, but not to as
great a degree as Dr. Sunderland.
He also had the faculty of transmitting
it to the written page, so that those
who read may feel his influence as
well as those who see and hear.
The question that arises just here
is whether it is good to possess such
power, or to be influenced by it. There
are plenty of instances where it has
done a great deal of harm. It is the
strength of the libertine, the chief
agent of conspirators and the talis-
man of the arch deceivers. This,
however, does not prevent it from be-
ing productive of good results. It is
the power of God to influence the
wicked, and that which renders music
charming, and social intercourse
agreeable. It is not at all strange
that occasionally it should be turned
to evil purposes. Bad uses are made
of the things given to support life,
but that does not render these things
unfit for proper use. It is the use to
which means are put, and not the
means that are evil. This mystic
power is as much a gift as any of the
special talents, and its exercise no
more sinful than that of the other
gifts, if only exercised properly. It is
not love, but is often mistaken for it.
One of its peculiarities is that it is
rarely mutual. In instances where it
is mutual it forms a strong bond, but
where it is one-sided it is very un-
enviable.
It is the secret of the conjuror’s
spell, the mind reader’s skill and spir-
itualist’s power. To be effective these
must possess it in excess, in which
case it becomes a dangerous thing, as
it gives them control not only over the
physical life of persons, but also over
their soul-life. The fact that so many
go crazy who have not the power of
resisting it, shows that it is destruc-
tive of cerain elements of mind. If
properly directed it can move the
world.
