pected of having swallowed a fictl« tious turkey, glued on a wooden platter! The immense relief of finding this a false alarml The joy and grattude, ecstasy! They arc all indescribably alike It is enough that, by degrees, the children and their emotions got out of the parlor, and by one stair at a time, up to the top of the house, where they went to bed, and so subsided And now Scrooge 'ooked on more attentively than ever, when the master of the house, having his daughter leaning fondly on him. sat down with her and her mother at his own fireside: and when he thought that such another creature, quite as graceful and full of promise, might have called him father and been a springtime in the haggard Winter of his life, his sigh grew very dim indeed “Belle.” said the husband, turning co his wife with a smile, “I saw an old friend of yours this afternoon.” “Who was it?” "Guess!” “How can I? Tut. don't I know," she added, in the same breath, laughing as he laughed. “Mr. Scrooge " “Mr Scrooge it was I passed his office window, and as it was not shut up. and he had a candle inside. I could scarcely help seeing him. His partner lies upon the point of death, I hear, and there he is alone. Quits alone in the world. I do believe." ■Spirit!" said Scrooge in a broken voice, "remove me from this place." "I told you these were shadows of things that have been.* said the Ghost. "That they are what they are do not blame me!” "Remove me!” Scrooge exclaimed. "I cannot bear it!” He turned upon the Ghost, and seeing that it looked upon him with a face in which, in some strange way, there were fragments of all the faces it nao shown him wrested with it, "Leave me! Take me back Haunt me no longer!" In the struggle—if that can oe called a struggle in which the Ghost, with no visible resistance on its own part was undisturbed b" any effort of its adversary—Scrooge observed that its light was burning high and bright: and dimly connecting that with its influence over him. he seized , the extinguisher cap. and by a sudden action pressed it down upon its head. The Spirit dropped beneath it. so , that the extinguisher covered its ’ whole form: but though Scrooge pressed it down with all his force, he could not hide the light which streamed from under it, in an unbroken flood upon the ground. He was conscious of being exhausted, and overcome by an irresistible drowsiness; and. further of being in his own bedroom. He gave the cap a parting squeeze, in which his hand relaxed: and had barely time to reel to bed. before he sank into a heavy sleep. I Continued Tomorrow
