A FAMOUS ORDER.
Historical Data Concerning the Brothers
 of St. John of Jerusalem.

of St. John of Jerusalem.
 In the eleventh century Palestine was the scene of unwonted animation; the Crusades were commencing, and in the spring of 1896 six million persons were said to be in movement toward Palestine. This must, however, be a monstrous exaggeraion. Crusade mad ness seized upon many who seemed little likely to fall victims to 1t, and rich and poor, young and old feeble and strong, men and women, left their homes to wend their painful and sor- rowful way to the Holy Land, to press the soil once trodden by their Saviour's feet, and to rest their eyes on the scenes amid which He lived and died. ''The most distant islands and savage countries" says William of Malmesbury, were inspired with the ardent passion. The Welshman left his hunting, the Scotchman his fellow ship with vermin, the Dane his drink ing party, and the Norwegian his raw fish" Pilgrimages to the Holy Land had been in great favor from an early time in the history of the Christian church, and it had always been reckoned peculiar mark of piety to leave home and journey to Jerusalem. The Crusades were only pilgrimages better organized and on a larger scale. and instead of a few struggling thou sands comprised vast multitudes. Need l add that the condition of the pilgrims was often deplorable, and many, after surviving the perils Of sea and land. and when almost in sight of the Holy Sepulchre, were cut of by robbers or died of wounds or diseases? At Jerusalem there were then living some Italian merchants of Amalf. who daily witnessed scenes that wrung their hearts, and, with the consent of the Caliph of Egypt, they built hospital for the reception and relief of pilgrims. This nursing com munity was at first known as the Hos- pitalier Brothers of St John the Bap- tist of Jerusalem, though some au- thorities contend that it was original ly dedicated to St, John the Almoner. Before long, however, 1t was placed under the protection of St. John the Baptist. and it bears his name to this day. The nursing community threw itself into it's work with impassioned zeal, knowing no weariness and recog- nizing no distinction of race or creed the only passport to its help was to need it; and it has been in that Catholic spirit that the work has been ever since carried on-"for the glory of God and the good of man." The fams of the order rapidly spread-rich gifts poured in upon it, many recruits joined its ranks, it's power increased, and the good it did augmented. d.-Gentleman's Magazine.

The sun had already sunk in the west when the convict returned to his native village. During the many years of his confinement he had har- bored but one idea-that of revenge. As he neared the old school-house (which, by the way, he had made up his mind to fire) bell from distant spire began its slow and solemn peal. A feeling which the convict had not felt in many years filled his breast. He stood rooted to the spot, and tears, hot tears, moistened his checks. When the bell had ceased its tolling, he hastily wiped his eyes with the back of his calloused hand. and ex- claimed; My heart is softened; I will not shed blood to-night-I will rob insteadm m-Life.

 President Harrison began the delivery Of his Inaugural Address. He said:
 THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
 There is no constitutional or legislative re-
 quirement that the President shall take the
 oath Of office in the presence of the people.
 But there is so manifest an appropriateness in
 the public induction to office of the Chief Executive officer of the Nation that from the beginning Of the Government the people to whose service the official oath consecrates the officer, have been called to witness the solemn ceremonial. The oath taken in the presence or the pcOple becomes d uuLual CONcHduts tne officer covenants to serve the whole body of the people by a faithful execution of the laws, so that they may be the unfailing defense and security of those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth, station nor the power of combination shall be able toa evade their just penalties, or to wrest them from a benedcent public purpose to serve the ends Of cruelty or selilshness My promise is spoken: yours unspollen but not the less real and solemn. The people of every State have here their representatives Surely do not misin- terpret the spirit of the occasion when I as- sume that the whole bodyof the people covenant with me and with each other to-day to support and defend the Constitution and the Union of the States; to yield willing obedience to all the laws and each to every other citi- zen his equal civil and polite al rights. Entering thus solemnly into covenant with each other, we may reverently invoke and confidently expect the favor and help of Almighty God, that He will give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our peo- pie spirit of fraternity and love of right eousness and peace.
 This occasion derives peculiar interest from the fact that the presidential term which be gins this day, is the twentysixth under our Constitution. The first inauguration or Presi- dent Washington took place in New York, where Congress was then sitting on the thtr-
 teth day of April, 1779, having been deferred by reason of delays attending the organization of
 the Congress and the canvass of the electoral
 vote.
