Prom She Friend Of Youth.
THE STORY OF THE SACRED LANCE.
BY MARTHA RUSSELL.

Many OF my young friends are doubtless
readers OF History, and have often wondered
over that spirit Of wild and mpetuous fanaii-
cism which for the space of two centuries
swayed the heart OF Europe, silencng private
ieuds and intestine bros, and uniting men of
all ranks and conditions in one great bond of
brotherhood, as crusaders or champions of the
Holy Cross, and for one great object, the re-
demplon of the Holy City from the hands Of
the Saracens. Well may the magnitude and
extravaganza of these expeditions excite our
wonder, but more especially the depth and te-
naclty Of that idea which neither time. disaster.
nor defeat, could overcome, and upon which
were avshed incalculable sums of money and
more than two millions of lives.
IL is true that the courage and faith ofthe cham
pions sometimes wavered, when famine and
disease and defeat overlook them, and few
chiefs and soldiers deserted, but their names
are rarely given in the histories of those times,
perhaps for the reason given by William,
Archbishop of Tyre, that their names are
blotted out Of the Book of Life, and therefore
cannot be admitted into his"
But their superstition was ever alive and
active, and in all such periods of distress or
defeat the monks had ever some new revelation.
relic, or miracle, with which TO strengthen
their faith and revive their courage The Sa-
cred Lance, as it was called, owed its discove-
~. or rather its origin, to one of these seasons
of emergency, that occurred when the Crosses
or Crusaders, after long siege, had conquered
Antioch, and Were in their turn besieged by
the Saracens Intoxicated by their success.
they had wasted the stores left behind in the
city by the Moslems in luxury and rot and
while their enemies cut Off all hope of supplies
from without, famine made its appearance
within. All the evils of their long and weary
march, all that they had suffered during the
fierce, protmcted siege, Were nothing compar-
ed 10 the horrors that beset them after they
took possession Of the city. In the words OF a
historian, " the leaves Of the trees, the skins of
animals. the leather Of their military accoutre-
menls, were greedily collected and devoured in
short, there was nothing so nauseous and foul
in itself, that famine did not render palaiable ["
To add TO their distress and desperation, their
