“Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and u Tiny fim, who did Nor die, he was a second father. He became as good. friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or an other good old eity, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some prole 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 happened 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 is quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have 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 Absti nence Principle,' ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. Mar that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, Ged Bless Us, Every One!”
