Tiny Tim, thy childish essence was from God! “Specter,” said Scrooge, “something informs me that our parting moment is at hand. I know it. but i I know not how. Tell me what man that was whom we saw lying dead?” i The Ghost of Christmas Yet to | Come conveyed him, as before— 1 though at a different time, he i thought; indeed, there seemed no | order in these latter visions, save , that they were in the future—into : the resort of business men, but showed him not himself. Indeed, the Spirit did not stay for anything, but went straight on, as to the end Just now desired, until besought by Scrooge to tarry for a moment.

“This Court," said Scrooge, “through which we hurry now. is where my place of occupation is. and has been for a length of time. I see the house. Let me behold what f shall be tn days to come." , The Spirit stopped: the hand was > pointed elsewhere. 1 “The house is yonder." Scrooge i exclaimed. "Why do you point j awfiy?** The inexorable finger underwent no change. Scrooge hastened to the window o< his office, and looked tn. It was an office still, but not his.

a.;am, and wondered why and whither be liad gone, accompanied it until they reached an iron gate. He paused to look around before entering. A churchyard. Here, then, the wretched man whose name he had now to learn, lay underneath the ground. It was a worthy place. Walled in by houses; overrun by grass and weeds, the growth of vegtation’s death, not life; choked up with too much burying: fat with repleted appetite. A worthy place! The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to One. He advanced toward it trembling. The Phantom was exactly as it had been, but he dreaded that he saw new meaning in its solemn shape. “Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point." said Scrooge, “answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Wil! be. or are they shadows of the things that May be. only? - SUH the Ghost pointed downward to the grave by which U stood. "Mens courses will fores.iiciow certain ends, to which, if persevered in. they must lead," said Scrooge. “But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!" The Spirit was immovable as ever. Scrooge crept toward it. trembling as he went; and following the finger, read upon the stone of the neglected grave his own name. "Ebenezer Scrooge.” "Am I that man who lay upon the bed?" he cried, upon his xne>.-s. The finger pointed from the grave to him. and back again. “No. Spirit! Oh. no, no!” The finger still was there. "Spirit!” ne cried, tight clutching at his robe, "hear me! I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope!" For the first time the hand ap- , peared to shake "Good Spirit." he pursued, as | down upon the ground he fell before | it: “Your nature intercedes for me, I and pities me. Assure me that I yet ! may change these shadows you have shown me by an altered life?" The kind hand trembled. | "I will honor Christmas in my j heart, and try to keep it all the I year. I will live in the Past, the Present and the Future. The Spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!" In his agony he caught the spectral hand. It sought to free itself, but { he was strong In his entreaty, and j detained it. The Spirit, stronger yet, I repulsed him. Holding up his hands in a last prayer to have his fate reversed, he saw an alteration in the Phantom’s hood and dress. It shrunk, collapsed and dwindled down into a bedpost. Cont’v'n<‘4 Tntnorrow
