Hew John Lacy was saved by a Chest.
BY c. G. DUNN.

'Sit still, JOB Lacy, sit s'illn said
the ghost, and raising his hand, in
when was tightly grasped heavy and
lnottcd bludgeon, he fetched Job
blow upon the head which came near
being the death Of him.
job Lacy said the spectre, IN
tone of voice which sounded rcmarka-
bly terrible to the ears of the suffering
victim, thou art "a most miserable
wrctch--a most reckless sinner, and |
have come to punish thee for thy wick
edness, and thy sins
Inever injured YOU responded job,
tand if | ever did any other person an
injury | am sorry for it,
sob Lacy, must punish thee and
so saying, he gave him another blow
upon the head with such force that
poor Job heard and felt the crushing
of his own il-starred skull.
Job Lacy continued the ghost,
Chou hast been fool all Of thy DAYS.
Look at thy social condition The
dcspiser of love and the halcr of the
sweetest comforts of HE, thou art Il
fool to Myself and curse to those
around thee. Wake mp! shake off thy
cold hcartedness and be nun indeed =
Job trembled and looked into the
blazing fire; and, as he ga2ed thercat.
.he flames dimmed away, things chang
ed, door opened, and a scene, beau
tiful and full Of effect, burst on his
vision. The scene was one Of family
Union, quiet and lovely picture of
domestic life. Father, mother, sister
and brother were there, living monu-
mcnts of moral and social grandeur.
Job gazed at the picture, and for the
frsi time in many years tear glistcn-
ed in his eye. Unseen angels were
writing golden thoughts upon the mind
of Job Lacy then, and chaste impress
sion was being set IN his heart. He
began to experience sensible change,
and what he had 50 long hated he now
Efcll in love- with.
sob Lacy said the ghost, prof
by this lesson, and promise me, ere |
leave thee, that thou wilt no longer
despise the claims of love and all those
sweet fclicitics and genial comforts
that are found no where save in such
home ms thou now lookcst upon.
The promise was given and the
ghost departed. leaving Job still gaz-
ing with admiration at the scene be-
fore him. And there he sat until his
eyclids grew too heavy to remain open,
when he sank into deep and quiet
sleep. When he awoke in the morn
ing, his big Dutch pipe lay broken
upon the floor, the room was quite cold
and he himself was shivering smartly.
But his heart was warm that cold
morning, the first time for many years,
and as he looked around him, and saw
the confusion which he was author of,
he wisely thought that IA condition of
single blesscdncss was not very blessed
after all.
Job Lacy is an old man now. but
not an old bachelor, however. Fur
,hermorc, he is believer in ghosts;
especially that ghost whose name is
conscience, and who came near spoil
lug his head on the most even'ful night
of his lifetime.
Reader, if you are travelling the
thornv road Of old bachelordom, it
would be blessed thing for you if you
could get few raps from that same
identical bludgeon on your thick skull,
and l really hope you will.
