How dreadful was it to awake out of so pleasing a dream, and to find myself scarcely able to move, with heavy bolts. I prayed te Heaven ; I continued in this state for three days and nights, as I was told, for I could not distinguish night from day, such was the darkness of my prison- house : at the end of this time I heard the key turn, and I thought I saw a glimpse of light ; my heart began to emerge, and a _ trembling ray of hope shone upon my soul The gaoler entered and desired me to follow... him ; I told him I was unable to walk with the weight of my fetters : he said he would help me ; I strove to rise ; and he assisted me ; I leaned upon his shoulder, and entered a small room, where I found a venerable old man, with a few scattered hairs on his temples, as white as snow. He desired me to sit down on a chair which he handed me. The gaoler was then ordered to knock off my chains and to withdraw. I was so weak that I believe I fainted. The venerable gentleman presented me with a glass of wine; and when he saw the blood begin to revisit my cheeks he addressed me in the following words as nearly as I can recollect : " Young man, I cannot help telling you that I am interested in your case ; but take care, let not this induce you to tell any thing but the truth ; I am the friend of truth.
