A Christmas Carol.
Scrooge was better than his word.
He did It all and infinitely more.
He became as good friend,
as good . master. and as good . man
as the good old city knew, or any 9TH
or 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 heed
ed them; for he was wise enough to
know that nothing ever happened ON
this globe, for good. at which some
people did not have their fill Of laugh
ter 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 grfns.
as have the malady in less attractive
forms. His own heart laughed; and
that was quite enough for him. -.
And It was always said Of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well, II
any man alive possessed that knowl.
edge.
May that be truly said Of us, and all
of us! And SO, as Tiny Tim observed
God bless US every one!
