hrmness that contrasted strongly with the violenc
of her judicial browbeater, ''when the rghteou
Judge shall appear to uncover the secrets ofmen'
hearts, and to Judge, not according appearances
but with righteous Judgment, it will then be seel
that his doctrine is not of the Devil but the doc
trine of truth and righteousness" And such a
double emphasis did she place on the word right
eouS, TO satisfy all there striking contras
! drawn in her own mind between the transaction:
of the present and the future.

Under this final decision of the court, the dcvO-
ted wife of Bunyan retired, thankful TO God that
he had lifted from her soul a weight of fear with
which she had entered that chamber, and inspired
a poor weak woman with unwOnted courage to
bear her testimony before the great ones of the
earth, yet filed with sorrow, not merely for her
unayailng efforts obtain the enlargement of her
husband, but for prospective doom OF those who
had lent themselves rs the instruments of oppres-
sion and cruelty against an honest man. 81 could

will have to give at the coming of the Lord when
they shall there answer for whatsoever things

or bad"
The seal of death has long since been placed on
all the actors i'll these scenes and while the sepul-
chrc holds their dust their conscious spirits, in
vested with the responsibilities of an immortal eX-
iStence, await the equal and exact retributons Of
tlc appointed day for which all others were
made For twelve long years did John Bunyan
lie in the prison of Bedford a living martyr to the
liberty OF conscience and the freedom Of speech.
Those sad prison hours were often shared with
him by his little blind daughter, who, like a min
lStcring angel, rendered to him the sweet sympa-
thy Of her undying affections while in return he
bestowed on his child those parental CarcSses,
which were rendered more precious and sacred by
their endurance of a common affection. Occa-
slonally he enjoyed the additional melancholy So
lace of a visit from his destitute, but still devoted
wife, and distressed children whom the grave sill
spared, only to be the pining victims of want,
when they were not the piticd objects of charity.
And all this bitter suffering earned us the re-

Fox, the eloquencc of Burke, and the pathos of
