THE WATCHER.

The influence of air and sky
Are side lights from the eternal throne
That fall upon the watchful eye
OF him who, silent, waits alone,
And crown him master of his own.
He knows the beauty of the rose.
The central sun the farthest star he knows.
The balance Of a blade of grass,
The winds that in the meadows run,
Gathering incense as they pass
To offSr to the throned sun.
The trembling secret to be won
From every running stream, all these
Are his, yet force him silent to his knees.
The watcher shall possess the earth
In silence, leaping to control
In moments mighty with the birth
OF passion, when the eternal soul
Shall wholly bind him to the whole.
The air and sky, the winds, the rose,
Are his, the earth, yea, God himself lie
knows.

the conductor came along he managed

that she had no ticket and would have

The conductor grasped the situation

The man looked at his ticket. 1t was
marked "Woburn."
II Think go to Woburn," ne said.
Then | go back.
The conductor explained to him that
this was entirely unnecessary, and
that the delay lessened his chance of
finding his wife at all; for, in the
meantime, she might be advised 10

another train for Woburn. The Ger

would agree. At every onset, how

THE MALTA OF ITALY.
Origin of the BioOd-Stained Society-The
Massacre of Palermo.


Crime-stained as it is to-day, and
ghastly with murder every step of its
tortuous, secret career, the Malta of
Italy sprang into being from an in
spiration of patriotism, but its very
birth was heralded by a ibation of
blood.
The Malta society is over six hundred
years old, having its origin at the re-
volt of Palermo, which took place dur
ing an Easter ceremonial in the sub
urbs of that city, in the year 12s2. A
beautiful young girl and her betrothed,
in accordance with the quaint and
primitive customs of that people, APP
preached the Church of the Holy
Ghost to be united in marriage at its
altar, and while the lover sought the
padre in the little room al the rear of
the building his bride paused upon the
threshold.
AS she stood there drunken SER
geant of the French garrison, named
Druet, strobe up behind her, threw his
arm about her waist and kissed her.
With a cry of horror she tore herself
from his grasp and turned to fly, but
the heel of her slipper caught in the
coping of the stone pavement and she
fell, striking her head against a sharp
projection of the cornice.
Al that instant the returning lovers
eyes fell upon her PROSTATE form, and
with the savage fury of wild beast
he threw himself upon Druet, bore him
to the earth, and drove his stiletto to
the wretch's heart, crying: "Morte ALA
Erancia." (''Death to the French,'')
There was a moments pause of
silence, and than that maddened cry
became the roar of Infatuated thou.

took more solemn meaning-it became

For seventy-two hours armed bands,
headed by the father and betrothed of
French.
But retribution was to come after
this carnival of blood, and in dread of
the vengeance of the French nation
these unhappy people formed them
selves into secret organizations with
the password and name of the society
made up of the initial letters of the
words which compose that fateful
death cry, thus forming Malta.
Its object was resistance to oppres-
sion. and as the lapse of years added to
