despiser of love and the bater of the
sweetest comforts of lite, thou art a
fool to thyself and curse to those
around thee: Wake up shake off thy
cold heartedness and be man indeed j
Job trembled and looked into the
blazing IRE; and, as he gazed thereat.
the flames dimmed away, things chang
ed, a door opened, and scene, beau
tifni and full of effect, burst on his
vision. The scene was one of family
Union, d quiet and lovely picture Of
domestic life. Father, mother, sister
and bro,hor were there, living monu-
ments of moral and social grandeur
Job gated at the picture, and for the
first time in many years tear glsten-
ed IN his eye. Unseen angels were
writing golden thoughts upon the mind
OF Job Lacy then, and chaste impress
sion vas being set In his heart. He
began, to experience 4 sensible change,
and what he had SO long hated he now
fell in love- with.
Job Lacy said the ghost, profit
BY this lesson, and promise me, ere I
leave thee, that thoh wilt no longer
despise the claims of love and all those
sweet felicities and genial comforts
that are found no where save in such
home as thou now lookest 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
eyelids grew too heavy to remain open,
when he sank into a 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 a condition of
single blessedGess was not very blessed
after all:
Job Lacy is an old man now. but
not an old bachelor, however. Fur
ttertnore, he is believer Ill ghosts :;
ESPECIALLY that ghost whose name is
ctnscIence, and who came near spoil
ing his head on the most eventful night
of his lifetime.
Reader, If y6u are travelling the
thorry. road of old baehelordom, it
would be a blessed thing for you if you
could get few raps from that same
identical bludgeon on your thick skull,
and | really hope you will.
