■ C HAPTER NINE AWAKING in the middle of a prodigiously tough snore, and sitting up in bed to get his thoughts together, Scrooge had no occasion to be told that the bell was again upon the stroke of one. He ~ felt that he was restored to consciousness In the right nick of time, I for the especial purpose of holding a conference with the second messen- i ger dispatched to him through Jacob Marley’s intervention. Now, being prepared for almost 1 anything, he was not by any means prepared for nothing; and, consefluently, when the bell struck one and no shape appeared, he was taken with a violent fit of trembling. Five minutes, ten minutes, a quarter of ■’•an hour went by, yet nothing came. ; ” All this time, he lay upon his bed, the very core and center of a blaze of ruddy light, which streamed upon it when the clock proclaimed the hour; and which, being only | •flight, was more alarming than a ! • '•dozen ghosts, as he was powerless to j • make out what it means, or would be ■“"at; and was somewhat apprehensive that he might be at that very mo-

The final report was filed in the estate of Glen Cowan. Notice was | ordered, returnable January 3. The final report was submitted,

| ment an interesting case of spontaneous combustion, without having the consolation of knowing it. At last, ; how ever, he began to think — as you 'or I would have thought at first; ■ for it is always the person not in the I predicament who knows what ought to have been done in it, and would j unquestionably have done it too—at last, I say, he began tc think that the source and secret of this ghostly ! light might be ir. the adjoining room, from whence on further tracing it 1 seemed to shine. This idea taking full possession of his mind, he got up ' softly and shuffled in his slippers to i the door. I The moment Scrooge's hand was on the lock, a strange voice called . him by name, and bade him enter. He obeyed. It was his own room. There was no doubt about that. But it had undergone a surprising transformation. The walls and ceiling were so hung with living green that it looked a perfect grove; from every part of which bright, gleaming berries glistened. “Come in!” exclaimed the Ghost, i “Come in! and know me better, . man!” Scrooge entered timidly, and hung I his head before this Spirit. He was i not the dogged Scrooge he had been; ' anti though the Spirit’s eyes w*ere I clear and kind, he did not like to meet them.

I “I am the Ghost of Christmas' : Present,” said the Spirit. “Look upon , ! me!” Scrooge reverently did so. It was ■ : clothed in one simple deep green I robe, or mantle, bordered with white I fur. This garment hung so loosely l on the figure ■ that its capacious ■ breast was bare, as if disclaiming to be worded or concealed by any artii flee. Its feet, observable beneath the ' ample folds of the garment, were , ’also bare; and on its head it wore Ino other covering than a holly I wreath, set here and there with shin- ' ing icicles, its dark brown curls were long ana free; free as its genial face, its sparkling eye, its open hand, its cheery voice, its unconstrained demeanor, and its joyful air. Girded : round its middle was an antique ' scabbard; but no sword was in it; I 1 and the ancient sheath was eaten up with rust. “You have never seen the like of me before?” exclaimed the Spirit. I “Never,” Scrooge made answer to it. "Have never walked forth with the younger members of my fam- ’ . ily; meaning (for I am very young) ’ , my eider brothers born in these later | years?” pursued the Phantom. “I don’t think I have,” said : Scrooge. “I am afraid I have not. Have vou had many brothers, i Spirit?” i “More than eighteen hundred,” said Lire GhoaU

The Ghost 1 of Christmas Present rose. 1 “Spirit." said Scrooge, submis- ' sively, "conduct me where you will. ’ I went forth last night on compul- ' j sion. and I learned a lesson which is ' working now.

rurrows u.ai liusovu aua tecrosscsl each other hundreds of times where the great streets branched oil and made intricate channels, hard to trace, in the thick yellow nfud anc I icy water. The sky was gloomy. < and the shortest streets were choked up with a dingy mist, half thawed, half frozen, whose heavier particles descended in a shower of sooty atoms, as if all the la Great Britain had by one concent caught fire and were blazing away tc their dear heart's content. There was nothing very cheerful in the climate or the town and yet was there an air of cheenulness abroad that the clearest Summer air and brightest Summer sun might have endeavored to diffuse in vain. In time the bells ceased and the bakers were shut up. and yet there was a genial shadowing iorth of ail these di: lers and the progress of their cooking, in the thawed blotch of wet above each bakers oven, where the pavement smoked as if its stones were cooking, too. “Is there a peculiar flavor in what | you sprinkle from your torch? ’ asked Scrooge. “There is. My own.” “Would »t apply to any kind of dinner on this day?" asked Scrooge “To any kindly given. To a poor one most.” ■ Why to a poor one most” asked Scrooge. “Because it needs it most.” “Spirit,'' said Scrooge, alter a moment's thought, "I wonder yon, of ail the beings in the many worlds about us should desire to cramp these people’s opportunities of innocent enjoyment.” “I!” cried the Spirit. “You would deprive them of their means of dining every seventh day, often the only day on winch they can be said to dine at all,” said Scrooge: “wouldn't you?” “I!” cried the Spirit. “You seek to close these places on the Seventh Day?” said Scrooge. “And it comes to the same thing.” “I seek!” exclaimed the Spirit. "Forgive me if I am wrong. It has been done in your name, or at least in that of your family,” said Scrooge. “There are some upon this earth cf yours.” returned the Spirit, “whfr lay claim to know’ us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry and selfishness i is our name, who are as strange to us, and all our kith and kin. as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.” Scrooge promised that he would; and they went on, Invisible, as they had been before, into the suburbs •of the town. It was a remarkable 1 quality of the Ghcst (which Scrooge had observed at the baker's», that notwithstanding his gigantic size, he could accommodate himself to any place with ease; and that he stood beneath a low roof quite as gracefully and like a supernatural creature as it was possible he could have done in any lofty hall. And perhaps it was the pleasure the good Spirit had in showing off this pow-er of his. or else it was his kind, generous, hearty nature and his sympathy with all poor men. that led him straight to Scrooge's clerks; for there he went, and took Scrooge with him, holding to his robe; and on the threshold oi the door the Spirit smiled, and stopped to bless Bob Cratcliit’s dwelling with the sprinklings ot his torch. Think oi that! Bob had but fifteen “Bob 1 a week himself; he pocketed on Sat- ' urday but fifteen copies of his Christian name; and yet the Ghost of Christmas Present blessed his fourroomed house' Voutiaueu Xumurrow
