Origin dud History or the Order of Knights Templar v Very little is known by tho general publio , ot this, the highest order of masonry, aud a skotoh of tho origin and history of the Sir Knight* will be road with interest : Tho Order of the Templo first originated on aooount of the Crusades. Nino valiant and pious knights formed an association, uni ting the oh a ruc tc rs of monk and knight, de voting themselves to a life of piety and chas tity at tho tomb of our Saviour, and employing thoir swords in tho protootion of pilgrims on their visit to the Holy shrino. Their re solution accorded with tho spirit of tho Cru sades, aud gained thom the approbation of their king, Baldwin IL, and tho Patriorch. In tho latter's prcsonoe thoy took three vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, and a fourth to fight incessantly in the causo of pil grims to tho Holy Land against tho heathen. They bound themselves to Hvo according to tho rules of tho cannons at St. Augustine, .nd elected ns first master Hugh do Payons. In 1119 they woro assigned quarters iu the templo and called Militia Templi aud Temp lars. In 1120, Fulk, Count of Anjou, on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to offer vows at tho Holy Shrino, impressed with their sincerity, joined tho sooicty, and upon his return homo remitted thirty pounds of silver annually, Which oxample waB soon followed by many other noblo princes of tho AV est. For niue yoars tho Templars lived in pov erty and gavo all presents received toward .meliorating thc condition of tho pilgrims, Wore only suoh clothing as tho hand of charity bestowed, and though constantly engaged in fighting tho infidel, wore so poor that Hugh da Paynes and his friend, Godfrey of St. Omer, both rode tho same war-horso. In 1128 the order was confirmed by tho Council of Troyos, and a whito mantle proscribed as their habit to distinguish them from tho Knights of St. John or Hospitallers of Jerusa lem, an order differing from thc Templars on ly in thoir mission, theirs being to minister to the sick. In 1146 tho Templars were or dered to wear constantly exposed on their breasts a red cross, as a symbol of martyrdom, and to carry a banner bearing tho humbie in scription : "Non nob-?s Domine, sed nomine tuo da fflorium /" ("Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Thy uauio givo the glory !") Hugh do Payens also added a new rule, that no knight should bo admitted to tho order ox oept ho first settle all feuds and amend his life. Now began tho Templar's success. V?luablo gifte carno flowing in from all sides. In 1129, 300 knights from tho noblest fami lies of Europe enrolled themselves uudor the Templars' bauncr and followed Hugh de Payens to the Holy Land. . From this time forward their history forms a prominent part of tho Crusaders, and is familiar to most readers. Wherever thc bat tle raged fiercest, or swords of Saracen threat ened a Christian, there was found a Templar t? avert tho blow. In tho latter part of tho twelfth contury the order became demoralized by excess of woalth obtained in successfull wars against tho heathen. Their annual in come in 1175 is stated by Dugdale to have been 820,000,000. Tho Christain power bo gan to doclino in thc East, Saladin prepared to recover Jerusalem, and found discord in tho Christian camp. Tho fight came-tho terrible battle of Mittin-where the Templars and Hospitallers fought with desperation, wheie blood flowed like water, and 30,000 Christians laid down their lives. A jealousy now aroso between tho Templars and Hospi tallers ; whioh terminated in open war. This jealousy was finally suppressed in a great mea sure by the Pope and tho rcspcotivo Grand Masters. Tho Turks soon after drove tho whole Christian force from Palostino. Tho Tem plar held out to the last, taking refuge with thoir families, io thc fortress of St. Jean d'Aorc. Hero they had a terrible battle, which result ed in the almost ontire extinction of tho or der. Scarce ton Knights survived this con flict, and they, with thc remnants of tho Hos pitallers and other orders, took refuge in Cyprus. Hero thoy eleoted James Do Lolay, an estimable Knight, master. Their num bers, wealth and power again increased, till they.excited the envy of Phillip tho Fair, King of Franco, who is termed by Mills, in tho history of tho Crusados, "tho monster of the age." Phillip by various artifices, eleva ted Clement V., to tho offico of Ropo, and thoao two determined to degrade tho order and omah it out of existence. Do Molny was summoned to tho prcsonoe of Pope Clement nt Paris, ostensibly to consult with rofcrenoo to another crusade, but the real purpose was coon-made manifest. A list of absurd charg es wor? proferred against tho'bradly and on October 13th, 18C", Do Molay and all Tem plars were arrested under tho most treacher ous oiroumstanoes, und cast into prison. 'Their real crime," says Mills, "was thoir wealth.'" They were subjected to a mock trial, tortured, condemned, and many of them burned at tho Stake, fifty-four of them at ooo timo in Paris. Pope Clement assembled the cardinals an<f prolate? in seoret consistory at VenioO| and soon after, on his own authority, issued ft bull abolishing the order. Do Mc'ny was bumed at the stake on Marou 13th, 1814, and with Min, it was supposed, perished the order} but notwithstanding tho efforts of tho King sod Pope, the order was not extermina ted. De Molay, in anticipation of his fate, appointed John Mark Lami?nos ha his sue ??sor in offico, and from that timo to the pre sent? there hal been a regular ?uccos?ion. ot I ii J" JJ.

ID Portugal tho namo of tho ordor has been ohanged to that of the "Knight* of Christ," and its cross is frequently conferred JojS tho government as a reward of distinguish ila merit. In England tho encampment of Baldwin, wbioh was established at Bristol, by tho Tem plars who returned with Ilaohard I from Pal estino, still continues to hold regular meetings, and is believed to hare preserved tho uuciout costumes and ceremonies'>f tho order. This encampment, with another ot Bath, and a third at York, constituted tho three original enoampmouts of England. From these have emanated tho existing encampments of (J rout Britain and tho United States, so that tho or der as it now exists is a lineal descendant of tho ancient order of tho Templo. In dun ningham's edition of the Templars' ohartmay bo found a list of tho Grand Masters, from Hugh do Payens to Sidney Smith (clcotcd in 1838), and tho dates of their election, embrac ing reprcscntativco of thc noblest families in Europo of all ages since tho foundation of thc order. Though tho professed object of tho Tem plars was to protect pilgrims on their visits to the Holy Shrine, yet there aro conclusive his torical proofs that the chief and primary in tention was to practice and preserve the ritea and mysteries of Freemasonry. Had their real objcot beon made public, the antipathy to tho Masonic order, which was then consid ered antagonistic to tho doctrines and prin cipies of tho Roman Catholic Church, would have cxoludcd thom from Papal favor, and prevented their attainment to wealth and pow er. The surpassing skill displayed by both tho Templars ana the Hospitallers, especially tho former, both in Europo and Asia, in the construction of wonderful architectural and engineering works, attests their knowledge of tho laws of beauty and just proportion, such as at that time wus not imparted from any other than within tho body of a duly titled lodgo. Other evidences establish tho fact beyond a doubt that tho mysteries of Free masonry were known to nud transmitted by tho Templars. Tho order of thc Knights of the Bed Cross, tho first conferred in Masonio Knighthood, is, on account of its iut?matc connection with symbolic Masoury, joined with those of the Templo and Malta, and each candidate, after immediate prohatiou, receives tho three or ders in a Templar's asylum. It is conferred only upon Masons who have taken tho En tered Apprentice, Follow Craft, Master Ma son, Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excel lent Master and Boyal Arch degress, and is founded mainly upon incidents connected with the rebuilding of the Temple ut Jerusa lem. It relatos the circumstance of Zerub babel, Prince of Judea, prevailing under Cyrus, King of Persia, to redore tho Jews to liberty and permit them to rebuild the city and temple. In the ceremonies of conferring this order thc trials and difficulties encounter ed in the work are illustrated in a very for cible and impressiue manner. Its history dates back to that event, and is found io Josephus and in the third and fourth ohaptcrs of tho first book of Esdras. Beauties of lilllie Language. If 3 need higher illustrations, not only of tho powor of natural objects to adorn lan guage and gratify toBtc, but proof that hero wo find tho highest conceivable beauty, we would appeal at once to th? Bible. Those most opposed to its teachings have acknowl edged the beauty of its language, and this is duo mainly to thc exquisite usc of natural ob jects for illustration. It docs, indeed, draw from every field. But when tho emotional nature is appealed to, tho icfercnco is at once to natural objects, and throughout all its books tho stars, and flowers, and gems arc prominent as illustrations of the beauties of roligion and and thc glories of tho church. "Tho wilderness and tho solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as tho rose." "Tho mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all tho trees of tho field shall clap their hands. Instead of tho thorn shall come up the fir-trco, and instead of thc brier shall como up thc myrtle." The power and boattty of the samo objects appear in the Sa viour's teaching. Tho fig and thc olivo, thc sparrow and thc lily of tho field, give peculiar force and beauty to tho great truths they are used to illustrate. Thc liiblc throughout is remarkablo in this respect. It isa collection of books written by authors far removed from each other in time, place, and mental culture, but throughout tho whole, nature is exalted as a rovclatton of God. Its beauty and sub limity are nppcalcaled to to arouse tho emo tions, and to reach tho moral and religious nature. No languogo can be written that so perfootly sots forth tbe grand and terriblo in nature, and its forces, ns wo hear, when God answers Job out of thc whirlwind. No high er appreciation of tho beautiful, and of God as the author of beauty, was ever expressed than whon our Saviour said of thc lilies of tho field, "I say unto you, that oven Solomon in all his glory was not arrayod like ono of these;" and then adds, if God HO clothed the grass of tho field," ascribing tho clement or beauty in every leaf ond opening bud to tho Creator's skill and powor.-Professor Chad bourne.

A few days siuco a young man appoared in Colusa, and mado a canvass of our town in disposing of Yankee notions, ti is oxperionoe iu rogara to this world waa evidently of rath er a limited order, yet ho was industrious, aud strived to obtain a market for his wares, and his offorts wore to a certain extent crown cd with suuoaas. During his sojourn among us he became infatuated with a dark>?yoq maiden of Colusa-ono of Missouri's choicest offerings-a feeling whioh ofteo takes posses sion of visitors to this acotion, und frcquont became his visits to her domicile. His devo tion was reciprocated, for on several occasions, at evening twilight, thc devoted couplo wcro seco to bo scated in CIOBC proximity upon a log, heuen th tho spreading branches of ono of our grand old oaks. After sundry walks, our uiurohantilo friend concluded Ito would ob tain a chariot, aud roll out on thc plains in company with hor who was causing the spirits to rap in overy chain ber of his heart. lie re paired to ono of our lively staples and procured a team and vehicle. Tho uext thing requi site for tho journey was something to soothe tho agitated spirit, in tho way of refreshments. Ho visitod several saloons, and inquired the price of champagne. Findiod that urti clo would command from two and a half to five dollars per bottle, ho concluded tho luxu ry was altogether too expensive, aud ho en deavored to find Borne other beverage to bo indulged in by himself und sweetheart during tho fortheooming ride. At last ho entered ono of our drug stores and asked if a teiupcr auoc beverngo could bo furnished for thc above named purpose for a moderate sum of money. Tho druggist assured him ho had a very pleasant drink called citrate of Maguesiu, prepared by himself, whioh ho could warrant fresh und lively, aud which could bc obtained for twenty-five cents per bottle. Our boro immediately closed a bargain, and seized upon two bottles with avidity. They were placed under thc seat of thc buggy with great care, and everything being in readiness, thc young lady was soon ensconced by his sido behind a spanking team, going tho doublo quiok tor tho suburbs. After a drive of an hour, thc gal lant driver readied under tho seat and sur prised his fair companion with the presence of two bottles of liquid, which, he suggested, would bo refreshing on the dusty road, Both suffering from severo thirst, tho contents of thc two bottles soon disappeared, and thc fine flavor commented on favorably. Thus re freshed, tho lash was freely applied to the team, and our happy couple were jolted over a somewhat unoveu road, with their equilib rium undisturbed, until some time afterward, on their return, when they were both sudden ly seized \ ' -nd unpleasant sensation in tho vicinity of i.. refreshment receptacle. The fair one bent over forward, and the gallant admi rer doubled up and squirmed until things bo gan to assume a serious character. The pres piiatiou rolled down in huge drops from thc forehead of one who a few moments before had declared his happiness complete. The smiles of thc maiden were suddenly transform ed to unpleasant contortions of the face, until at last, the magnesia, about to become master of the situation, forbearance ceased to be a virtue, thc team was stopped, and, without u word of explanation, euch party made a des perate and lively leap from their respective sides of the buggy, and thc sceue whioh en sued our pen is incapable of describing. Suffice it to say, no unnecessary time was lost in reaching town, not a single sentiment of love was uttered, and a young man was soon earnestly engaged in hunting thc drug gist-who could not bo found-and he ex presses a huge disgust at thc mere mention of citrate of magnesia as a buggy beverage. [GVHSU Sun I A BENEVOLENT MINISTER.-Not long since a small boy in very dilapidated cloth ing called at thc residence of Kev. Mr. A., and asked for something to cat The servant who came to tho door asked tho minister what she should give him, when he pointed to a pile of bread, that wns very hard and stale, saying, "Give him some of that." The servant did HO, and ns thc boy was going away chewing on the crust of bread, tho min ister called out, "Bridget, send that little boy hore." The little fellow went into the din ing room, where the minister and his family were about sitting down to dinner, and was staring at tho eatables on the tablo, when the dominic said : "Mv little man, did you ever go to Sunday sheol ?" "No, sir." "Did you ever learn to pray ?" again asked thc minister. '.No, .sir," replied the boy. "Como here and I will teach you." Tho boy wont up to the minister, when he commenced: "You must say just as I do. 'Our Fa ther'" "Your Father," said the boy." "No! no! You must say'Our Father.'" "Your Father, again said the boy. "Will you never learn?" said tho mia's* ter. "You must say, 'Our father.' " "Is it our father-your father-my fa ther ?" "Why, certainly." Tho boy looked at him a while, and then oommonoed crying, nt tho same titno holding up his crust of bread and exclaiming between his sobs: "You say that your Father is my Father, yet you aren't ashamed to givo your little brother suoh stuff as this to eat, when you have got so many good things for your self." Tho minister looked ostonishod, and ni though it hurt In's feelings, asked the little follow to sit down and tako dinner with him. ?ST Soon after Chief Justico Chane as talmud tho gubernatorial chair in Oho, ho is- j Bucd hts proclamutiot. appointing a Thanks ging Day. To moko sure of hoing othodox, tho Governor composed his proclamation al- i most exclusively of passages from tho Bible, 1 whioh ho did not designato as quotations, i presuming that every ono would rooognizo i them, and admiro tho fitness of the words as j ns well as hin tasto in their selection. Tho firoolamation meeting tho eyes of a Domoorut o oditor, ho pounocd at onoo upon ii -do dared that ho had road it boforo-couldn't exootly say whore-but ho would take his oath that it was downright plagiarism froth beginning to end 1 That would have boen a pretty fair joke; but tho noxt day tho Re publican editor came out valiantly tn dofenoo of tho Qoveruor, pronounced tho charge falso and libelous, and challenged any man living to produoo ono single lino of tho proclamation i that bad over appoared in print boforo. JV i y gjuLm?mtsmni mm rpm JES lu Ho l at 7 Or a Curo Dir lluou IMUtlftlU. Ono of tho most remarkable oases of suddou ouro cf disenso, wos that of a rheumatic indi vidual, with which is connected un amusing ghost story. Thero wus a cou pl o of men lu some old set tled part of tho country, who woro in tho habit of stealing sbcop, and robing church yards of tho burial clothes of tho dead. Tbcro was a public roud leading by a meot iug-houso where thero was a grave yard, and uot far off a tavern Early ono moonlight night, while ohe of | tho miscreants was busy robbing a grave, tho ot lier went off to steal a sheep. Tho first one having accomplished bis business, wrapped a shroud around him, and took a seat in tho tucetiug bouso ;door to wuit for bis compan ion. A man on foot passing along the road to wards tho tavern, took him to bo n ghost, aud alarmed almost to death, ran us fast as Iiis feet oould oarry bim to tho tavern, which bc reached out of breath. As soon as he oould speak be declared that bo had soon a ghost robod in white, sitting in the church door. Hut nobody would be lieve his story. Ile then deolarod that if any ono of them would go buck with him, they might bo con vinced. Hut incredulous as they wore, no one could bo found that bad courage enough to go. At length a man wiio was so afflicted with tho rheumatism that he oould scarcely walk, declared he would go if tho man would carry him there, bo ot onuo agreed, took bim cn his back, and off they went When they got in sight sure enough it was as bo said I Wishing to satisfy thomselves well and g"1) as near a view ns possible of his ghostship, in tho dim light, they kept vonturiug nearer and nearer. The man with tho shroud around bim took them to be his oo u pan lon with a sheep ou his buck, mid asked in a low tone of voice : .4s be fat?" Meeting with no reply, he repeated t' o question, raising bis voice higher. : "Ia bo fat?" Still no reply. Then in a vehement tone ha called : "Is bc fut ?" This was enough. Thc man with the other on bis buck replied : "Eat or lean you may hove him !" And dropping the invalid, he travelled buck to thc tavern tis fast us his foct would curry him. But he hud scarcely arrived there, when ulong came tho invalid on foot too ! The sudden fright, hud cured him of rheu mutism ; and from that time forward ho was a well mau. FANNY FERN'S EXPERIENCE.-Tho fol lowing is a bit of Funny Fern's experience : "I used to believe in school friendship. Thc delusion ended when Arabella Triplet told mutual friends that I wa? years and years her senior, knowing what a droadlul fib she told. I used to suffer pangs of anger because of woes of beggars. Since that I have seen one unstrap his wooden leg in an urea, and run off gay I v on two legs of his own. Another threw a loaf of bread in the gutter, und I saw a third, who had all day been yoi lin? "Please assist the blind," carefully examining his collection of ten cent stamps by the light of a friendly apple-woman's cundle. I used to put tho greatest faith in lover's vows. Now, I do not believe a man means anything he says to a woman, unless it is something disagreeable. I used to believe in faithful servants. Since then I hove hired girls from intelligence offices, and lo-t all my handker chiefs but one. 1 used to believe in beauty. Since then I have seen a bewitching belle take off half of her hair, nil ber teeth, tho best of her complexion, two pounds of cotton batting and a corset." A MOTHER'S INFLUENCE.-How touching is this tribute of lion. T. II. Henton, to his mother's influence: "My mother asked me never to u??e tobacco; I have never touched it from that time to the present day. She asked me not to gamble, and I have never gambled; I cannot tell who is losit"? in games that are being played. She admonished mo, too, against hard drinking; and whatever capacity for endurance I have at present, and what ever usefulness 1 have attained through life, I attribute to having complied wit t her pious and correct wishes. JtdS?" An old soaker replied to a tcmpcr once lecturer by thc following poser: "If water rots the soles of your boots, what ef fect imxst it have on bc coat of your stom ach ?"
