BEAUSEANT.

THE seal of the Ancient Templars
represent two armed Knights, mounted
one behind the other. on the same
horse. with a Latin inscription en-
circling it. to remind all the knights
of the order that the symbol represents
a union and bond of brotherly love
which should ever exist among the TEL
low-soldiers of the Temple, and not as
IS pretended by some historians OF the
Order. in token of their primative pow
erty. according to which two Knights
could have but one horse between
them. The Trecensian statutes, or
rule of the Order, sanctioned by the
Council of Troyes, and confirmed by
Pope Honorius II, totally ignore TINS
poverty. for Canon 80 allows each
knight to have three horses. For II
NAV really be imagined that two mall
cd KNIGHTS. astride Of one horse, would
I-sssvgntuTr passes, 70 and from the Holy
City, and anything but a terror to
their Saracen foes. 1t is a fact beyond
dispute that Baldwin, King of Jeru-
salem. was ever warm friend of the
new Order, and therefore must certain
ly have supplied the Templars with
sufficient horses for the purpose, the
more readily as there were plenty to be
had in Palestine, and the Knights being
but very few at that time, required but
a small number. According to latter
statutes, it was expressly prohibited
that two brethren should ride on one
horse. probably for the reason that the
seal had been. In derision, enormously
interpreted. The banner Of the Order
was black and white, and made Of
cloth. the white to signify that the
Knights walked in the innocence and
purity of Christ; the black that they
were a terror to their enemies. The
name Of the banner and at the same
time the battle cry, and most sacred
oath of the Order was "Beauseant," in
allusion to the seal, wherein two
brethren were represented IS riding
on one horse, which was considered by
the Order as a "fair seat" /. e., Beau
seant," that is as a seal Of true frater-
nal alliance. Beauseant, or Baucene,
signifies black and white, spotted, es-
pecially as applied to a horse. But it.
would seem very inopposite that a
Templar should swear by the color Of q
horse, should choose this for their war
cry and so style their banner. The
seal of the Order was always accom-
panied with the word Beauseant. Both,
therefore, stood in close relationship.
1t would seem natural, therefore, to re-
fer this word Beauseant to their token
of "brotherly love-" where two Temp
lars were represented as united in close
friendship, and seated on one horse.
This device, "the fair seat" 'beau-
Seant, served as symbol of intimate
union, the word was adopted as their
battle cry and the name Of the banner,
and finally it formed an appropriate
formula Of oath, signifying-"By the
fraternal bond of the Templar Order
Beauseant.

THE benefit of wearing society pin

he approached her and asked IL any OF

her father was. He then said to her
to pass on and he would pay atten-
ton to the one that had offered the
insult. He at once found an officer,
and had the brute arrested; was wit

for the breach of propriety he was
