discourse between the two Pilgrims A,

come with faithful telling Of his e..

from the old man with the thrre

Life. Also did Faithful tell Of hIs an.
counters with Arrogance, Pride and
NV orldly-glory. But the worst Of them
all was with Shame, a bold.faced fel.
low who would never have done sneat.
ing against all good men and things
Then I saw in my dream that they
presently came to the town Of Vanity.
where Is fair called Vanity Fair.
Here Is there at all times much noise
and folly. with the buying and sell.
Ing OF such foolish wares as have civ.
en- the town its fame. The people Of
the fair, taking the Pilgrims for out.
!andish men and bedlams, made a
great gazing at them. Likewise were
they not little amused that Chris
tian and Faithful, setting very light
by all their merchandise, did speak ex.
hortingly. Much hubbub did follow
thereon. during which the Pilgrims
were cast into jail. At convenient
time they were brought forth to trial
before the Lord Hategood, witness be-
ing given against them by such base
fellows as Envy, Superstition and
Plckthank. Among the jurors were Mr..
Nogood, Mr.. Malice, Mr.. Lovelust and
suchllke, by whom good Faithful was
condemned. After much persecution
they burned him to ashes at the stake,
whereat l saw In my dream that q
chariot with horses carried him up to
the Celestial Gate by the nearest way.
AS for Christian He that rules all
things released him from prison, so
that he went on his way in company
with one Hopeful, who had followed
him from that town. Soon they came
to a great fortress called Doubling
Castle, the owner Of which was Giant
Despair. who took them prisoners.
Now Giant Despair had to his wife a
woman named Diffidence. So when
he was gone to bed he told her what
he had done, to wit that he had taken
a couple Of prisoners, and asked her
what he should do with them. Her
counsel was that he should advise
them to make away with themselves.
So when morning was come he goes
to them with a very surly manner,
telling them that, rs they were never
like to get out of his dungeon. they
should end themselves with knife, hal
ter or poison. When they desired him
to let them 60 he looked very ugly
upon them. and rushing at them had
doubtless made an end to them HIM
self. but that he fell in fit to which
he was subject, and lost the use OF his
hand.
Thus escaping from Giant Despair,
they came to the Detachable Noun
tains, where met them certain shep-
herds, knowledge, Experience, Watch
full and Sincere, who took them by the
hand and had them to their tents. Also
did they lead them forth to the top
Of n high hill called Clear, from which
they might spy the Celestial Gate
through perspective glass.
Then I saw in my dream that Chris
tian and Hopeful. going down the
mountains and passing through the
country Of Conceit, got over to lana
called the Enchanted Ground, and thus
into the country Of Beulah. whose ar
was sweet. Their way lying directly
through 1t, they solaced themselves
there, listening to the singing OF pros
and seeing the flowers appear IN 'ne
earth. -.
Here they had distant view ol
tho CITY Of Zion, which was buiit Oh
nearls and precious stones, ana the
streets paved with gold. Also l saw
