Text Appearing Before Image:
raw nearer to that stone to 141 a Cbttstmas Carol which you point, said Scrooge, answer meone question. Are these the shadows of thethings that Will be, or are they shadows ofthings that May be, only ? Still the Ghost pointed downward to thegrave by which it stood. * Mens courses will foreshadow certainends, to which, if persevered in, they mustlead, said Scrooge. But if the courses bedeparted from, the ends will change. Say itis thus with what you show me ! The Spirit was immovable as ever. Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as hewent ; and following the finger, read uponthe stone of the neglected grave his ownname, Ebenezer Scrooge. Am / that man who lay upon the bed ? he cried, upon his knees. The fmger pointed from the grave to him,and back again. No, Spirit ! Oh no, no ! The fmger still was there. Spirit ! he cried, tight clutching at itsrobe, hear me ! 1 am not the man 1 was.I will not be the man I must have been butfor this intercourse. Why show me this, if Iam past all hope !
Text Appearing After Image:
H Cbrtstmas Carol For the first time the hand appeared toshake. Good Spirit, he pursued, as down uponthe ground he fell before it : Your natureintercedes for me, and pities me. Assure methat I yet may change these shadows youhave shown me, by an altered life ! The kind hand trembled. I will honour Christmas in my heart, andtry to keep it all the year. 1 will live inthe Past, the Present, and the Future. TheSpirits of all Three shall strive within me.will not shut out the lessons that they teach.Oh, tell me 1 may sponge away the writingon this stone ! In his agony he caught the spectral hand.It sought to free itself, but he was strong inhis entreaty, and detained it. The Spirit,stronger yet, repulsed him. Holding up his hands in one last prayer tohave his fate reversed, he saw an alteration inthe Phantoms hood and dress. It shrank,collapsed, and dwindled down into a bedpost.
