Tho deep slnmlier of barbarism began to be bro- !»en by occasional birth-tliroes of thought and action. The spirit of chivalry which was born in the dark forests of Germany, and which had prevailed for several pro ceeding centimes, about tho beginning o( the twelfth century culminated in tlio Crusades; a system of warfare which un questionably had it* origin in religious ignorance and fanaticism, l»nt which wrought important results in the history of Christian civilization. It was the last qnarter of the eleventh eentnry when I’eter. an enthusiastic monk of Amiens in France, visited Je rusalem to pay his devotions at the tomb oi too Saviour. At this period the Holy band was completely nndcr the sway of the Saracen nnd Turk, who wantonly desecrated the most sacred places nnd in flicted the greatest • barbarities on the Christian pilgrims who flocked thither from occidental countries forpionspnr- 1>OS °Jn famous French anchorito was filled with holy indignation by these flagrant acts of cruelty and sacrilege, and resolved to return to arouse the Christian nations of Europe to combine for tho overthrow of the Moslem power in Pal atine, and to rekindle the light of Chris tianity^ beneath the refulgent beams of the Orient Ho soon found a powerful champion of his cause in the person of Urban II., who then held tlio pontificate of Rome. T. ’’ Placenta was called, consisting of 4,000 ecclesiastics and 30,000 laymen, and where the mighty multitude decreed a war of extermination against the infidel. Then followed tho Conned of Clermont, where a wliirlwind of excitement was cre ated by tho impassioned oratory of the Popo and the wild harangues of too hor- mit it is th* mill vf God, it i» the mill of '•od, was the fanatical shout of tlio tu multuous assembly, and with this sub lime battle cry of all Christendom was *ummonod to arms. Tho tide of enthu siasm had how set in all its strength nnd was rolling wildly over the Western world. The rabble of Europe not only enlisted under the banner 01 tho cross, but im perial princes, mitered prelate*, wealthy Warcnts, honored dukes, and titled connts :md earls, in short the highest dignitaries in chnrch and state embarked in the holy war and urged the common crusaders forward to flfdit for the roscuo of the holy fitv and sepulchre from the profanations of Paganism. Fredrick, the Emperor, Richard, King of England, Phillip, King of France, Leopold, Dnko of Austria, 1 tobert of Normanuy, Godfrey,of Bullion, and his chivalrio brother Ballwin, togeth er with a multitude of Bishops : these ere nome of the illustrious names associa ted with this wonderful movement of the liuudlo ages. Eight distinct crusades were undertaken inthin tho space of two hundred years, and in these several expe ditions, it is estimated, that eight millions of tlio European population were poured upon the ensanguined plains of Asia, nnd that two millions of the crasaders ]>eri*hod in the bold adventurers against the pagan enemies. Men havo never made greater sacrifices or fought with more determination courage than the of toe West. They felt that they were fighting the bottles ot the King of kings and hence they were will- ?ng to poor out their lost drop of blood in defense of their holy Faith.

This sacred Order was founded in 1118 by nine noble Knights of France, and was regularly incorpora ted in 1128 by Popo Honorous II, who was ono of tlio most zealous advocates of its principle* and purpose*, * 1* now 7.”*2 years old. These C Knight*, in addition to their chastity, poverty and obedience, bound themselves by a solemn oath to defend tho sepulchre of tho Saviour and to pro tect all Christina Pilgrims in their jour neying* tho Holy land. By their lofty deods of ljenovolenco and valor, they *0011 became, say* tho historian, “tlio most celebrated and powerful of the religii military orders of Christendom. ” When ever widow’s wail and tlio orphan'll cry brokn upon tho air; whenever tho sancti ties of innocent maidenhood were imper iled or violated; wherever tho road* load- through Palestine were infested by l»ar- baronH banditti, nnd whenever tlio rite* of tho Christian Religion wore trampled upon by a Moslem foot; there the glitter ing blade* of the Sir Knight* lca]»cd forth from their scabbard and incited summary vengeanco on these wonten violator* of the most sacred obligations of life. It i* not surprising therefore, tint a body of men who rendered wich eminent service to tlie oanso of linmani' tv and Christian truth should have won. toe admiration of mankind. According ly tho Templars rose rapidly from poverty mid abstinence to great affluent* aud luxury. They were enriched by large donations of lands and money, so that by tho middloof the thirteenth century they numbered nine thousand lordships in Europe, and commanded the free homage of every dynasty and throne. Bnt tlieir immense wealth and prosperity proved their weakness and extinction as a corporate body. Tho adulteration of monarches and the excesses of self-indul- genco corrupted them and caused them to loso that native virtue and martial spirit which had been tlieir strength and glory in former days. Tho institu tion continued to decline until the spring of 1312, when Popo Clemen V, .H.tlMiiAn nf Pltllin lltfl Vaiv qJ tot ^ j all their possessions to the Knight* John. Thus history presents tho novel spectaclo of a Pope claiming to bo the infallible head of the Church, becoming the miserable tool of a profligate prince, and abolishing, by an act of tyranny, a Christian institution which another Pope had incorporated and consecrated with nil tho solemnities of pontifltrial authori ty- It is important to olwerve, here, Uud Christian Knighthood liod originally no connection with Free Masonry. The cause of the union of the two orders was the fierce and unrelenting persecution of the former. The crowned neada of Italy, Germany, England and Spain combined to exterminate the Templars from the earth. Their estates were confiscated and their conclaves broken np. and in their feeble and dispersed condition they proposed to form u defensive alliance with the ancient Masonic Fraternity.— “Maaonry accepted tho proposals of this would-be ward, and placed it in a aeat superior, as a qualification for member ship among tlicm, that tho candidate previously pJft through the several de grees of Ancient York Masonry. Hence the relation and superposition of Blue Lodge, Chapter and Commandery which con tinned, to this day.” Tcmplarism ic, therefore, no longer a forth inHH I lines and with'btianished armor tofimltle bravely with barbaric hosts in the great valley of slaughter and of blood, lmt it is now pre-eminently » benevolent andi moral inetitotion, whose exalted ends are I effected by Christian agencies snd appli ances.

A Short Story with a Moral » An English writer say*. ‘The night I was out late; I returned by the Leo cabin eleven o’clock. As I approached I saw a strange looking object crowling nndcr the eaves. A cold rain whs falling/ it was autumn. I drew near, and there was Minnie wet to the skin. Her father had driven her ont some hours before; she had laid down to listen for tho heavy snoring of his drunken slumbers, ao that she might creep back to lied. Before she licanl it, nature seemed exhausted, and she fell into a troubled sleep, with the rain drop* patting upon her. I tried to take her home with me; bnt no true as n martry to his faith, *he straggled from me and returned to tho now dark and silent Cabin. Things went for weeks and months, but at length Lee grew less violent, even in Ida drunken fits to his self-denying child; and ono day, when ho awoke from a slnmlier after a debauch, and found her preparing breakfast for him, and singing a childish song, ho turned to her, and, with a tone almost tender, said: ‘Minnie, whal make* you etoy with me?’ ‘Because you arc niy rather, and I love you.’ ‘Yon lovo me,’ repeated tho wretched man •yon lovo me?* He looked at hi* bloated limbs, his soiled and ragged clothes.— ‘Love me,'4 lie still murmured; ‘Minnie what makes yon lovo me?
