Step this way. sir, if you please " “It’s only once a year, sir," pleaded Bob appearing from the tank “It shall not be repeated. I was making rather merry yesterday, str." “Now. I'll tell you wnat. my mend.' said Scrooge. “I am not going to stand this sort of thing any Kinger And therefore." he continued, leaping from his stool and giving Bob such a dig in the waistcoat that ha staggered back into the tank again, “and therefore I am about to raise your salary!" Bob trembled and got a nearer to the ruler. He had a momentary idea of knocking Scrooge down with it, holding him and calling to the people in the court for help and a straight waistcoat. "A Merry Christmas, Bob!” saKi Scrooge, with an earnestness thr. could not be mistaken, as he clappec him on the back. “A Merrier Christmas. Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year I I'b raise your salary and endeavor tc assist your struggling family, anc we will discuss your affair this very afternoon over a Christmas bowl ot smoking bishop, Bob! Make up the fires and buy another coal scuttle before you dot another 1, 800 Cratchit!” Scrooge was better than his word He did it all and infinitely more: and to Tiny Tim. who did not die. he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master and as good a man as the good old city knew, or any other good old city town or borough in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh and little heeded them, for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happens on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins as nave the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed, and that was quite enough for him He had no further intercourse with Spirits but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle ever afterward; and it was always said ot turn that he knew how to keep Christmas well if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all ot us! And so. as Tiny Tim observed, God Bless U« Every One! The En<S
